People who write "rouge" instead of "rogue".

Or people who are so "weary" of danger.

Whenever another guy recommends something I find repulsive, for various reasons, I tend to write off most respect I had for that person.
Lately some guys have talked positively about Andrew Tate, and it's just made it easier for me to know who is a gullible prick and who to avoid.

Criticizing people for voting 3rd party and then doing nothing to replace first past the post voting.

Okay, I very publicly judge these people. It's not a secret.

Owning giant pickup trucks and SUVs. I'm not that secretive about it, though. I assume everyone driving them is an insecure, overgrown child who wants a big vroom vroom.

I'm not sure about everyone else, but in my case you assume correctly. The only reason I'd want a monster truck is to act like an overgrown child who wants to show off his big vroom vroom. Also, with a mandatory funny honk.

If I know anyone who drives one, I always refer to it jokingly as their 'emotional support vehicle".

Wow beat me to it.

The 'brands' they are displaying.

I see people checking me and others out. What runners are they? Jordans or KMart? Is that a Lacoste or walmart? Is that a real Rolex or D&G handbag?

But for me, it's not judging them like you think.

I judge them flashing brands as a sign of insecurity, a need to appear wealthy and 'fit in', and a likely 'keep up with the Jones' jealous type.

So, I actually feel sad for them.

And, yes, I am aware it's super judgemental and I'm no doubt hypocritical as well, as there are some things I will buy certain brands for.

I can relate.

Everytime I see some Gucci stuff on someone, I feel hard sad for them or sometimes cringe, because all the money they once had, was spent on something worthless in my eyes. They also look more unsympathic by having those brand stuff on them, so its a lot that plays in.

But if they don't look entirely iced out, then I mostly don't even notice that the person has Expensive brand clothes or generally popular brands. I mostly see the overall design or the colors besides the Human and the face. I have my energy somehwere else to invest than thinking on ehat brands someone is wearing. A sometimes I secretly judge if they are trying very hard to be something like iced out. (With iced out I mean, trying to look rich with Gucci clothes or something similar)

All the people typing "loose" when they mean "lose". Shit's been happening a lot for the past year or two and I don't know why.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Shit’s been happening a lot

Butthole must be loose.

It's just the natural evolution of language. Rules become loser over time
