Ask Lemmy

smart glasses with built in cameras, and for the same reason teslas

Brand clothing plastered with logos of the brand.

I immediately know you're vacuous and live your life for the image you have for others instead of focusing on yourself.

Harley Davidson clothing: they're very insecure.

III percent sticker on a car or a shirt with that logo. It might as well be a swastika and they are so open about it. I'm so fucking sick of Nazis.

Lifted trucks are sus, especially if they have balls hanging on the back.

Ford Ranger drivers, and to a lesser extent large dual-cab utes in general. Cashed up bogans to a man. They just have a reckless disregard for other road users and take up far too much space. They're all registered as 'commercial', so they're a tax dodge as well.

This is a german thing, but "Camp David" shirts are the first thing that come to mind. There is a good possibility the person wearing it is the most dense and arrogant person you'll ever meet.

Könnt ihr doch sicher bestätigen Germanbros, oder?

Cybersecurity people with iphones. Not strictly judging them but it is a grim reminder that even the "professionals" barely understand the technological privacy dystopia we live in.

Rolex. Evincing pathological narcissism or psychopathy.

Hm. Cop uniforms. I ~~accurately appraise~~ judge them to likely be problematic in all kinds of ways that might threaten my safety and certainly that of others

If someone carries a gun and they have a normal low-threat job and live in a normal low-threat suburb: wow, that person lives in a fantasy world, and is just looking for an excuse to hurt someone. What an absolute loser.

Anyone who pays the ridiculous up charge so they can provide free advertising for any big brand. If you paid $50 bucks for a regular ass shirt with nothing but a Nike logo on it then you’re a fucking rube.

It's not judgement so much as a red flag, but those sunglasses that are like a solid cylinder wrapping around your head. They're popular with manosphere dudebros, which is unfortunate because I actually kind of like them.

Lifted pickups that I know cost more than a modest house. It's the same as buying a sports car, except you're also posing as a humble working man simultaneously.

Big lifted truck with spacers, no tow hitch, and a perfect unlined bed. Why the fuck do you have a big shiny truck and flake on your promise to help your friend move because you don't want to scratch your precious unlined bed. I've had more luck asking a rando with a squarebody Chevy and made an even better better friend.

If they have a good opinion of me I know they're a poor judge of character.

If someone has a good quality bicycle that they actually use: you got your shit together!

Arc'teryx (hardshell) jackets.

If you're walking around downtown you don't need it. If you actually needed it you wouldn't be wearing your expensive gear downtown.
