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

College students with sports cars: I assume they’ll be in debt forever.
Or they're spoiled brats.
Someone normal looking wearing clothing that references a nerdy hobby/interest: this person is self-confident enough to not be afraid to admit to having a nerdy side.
If someone seems extremely socially awkward and is wearing that kind of clothing it's different. But if it's someone who looks like a soccer mom but she's wearing a Critical Role tee shirt, she's cool. Or if it's a guy who looks like a construction worker with an Anime character: nice one, dude.
There's a LOT of things. Those are mostly shallow and me being a bad person though. I really judge people when they have super Christian clothing with tiny pieces of random supposedly important Bible verses. Those "don't tread on me" stickers. Really tacky shit in general. I wear a really obnoxious Goku/Vegeta hoodie sometimes, to make sure that the shallowest people will avoid me. I'm a hypocrite lol
"cause" stickers
Shut the fuck up. Live your life in an ethical way, we do not need to see a sticker asserting what every decent person already knows is right
I find people who broadcast their ethical positions rarely live by them. Being ethical is a series of decisions on how you act, not what you tell people.
A cross necklace
One who wants others to think they believe
A vest over a button up
One who aspires and has not yet achieved
An oversized suit and padded heel shoes
One who is orange
I had a one-night-stand on a cruise once that was fun but almost ruined when he took off his shirt and there was a cross necklace on his chest. Missionary was basically my vampire ass trying not to get burned by the cross.
A classic Casio wristwatch.
Gentlemen, terrorist, or the best engineer you’ve ever met.
Well, I'm not the first, not third, but don't really intend to become second
Negatively: Almost any clothing with more than a couple words of text.
Clothing with a prominent brand.
Clothing with right-wing political connotations.
Dyed blonde hair or hair dyed brown/black that should, obviously, be gray.
Tramp stamps. Japanese writing tattoos on non-Japanese. Face tattoos. Neck tattoos. Tattoos of pop culture themes.
Expensive cars. Dodge pickup-trucks. Harley Davidson motorcycles. Dodge Chargers. Teslas.
Police officers.
Positively: Normal clothing. Well-dressed but obviously not expensive clothing. ‘Funky’ style clothing. Clothing that would just look stupid on me.
Wildly dyed hair. Subtlety dyed hair that isn’t covering something up.
Tattoos that are, at least, fairly unique.
Glasses. (I don’t know, I’m prejudiced for people with glasses.)
Old women.
I could probably come up with a lot more. We’re all prejudiced in some way. It’s the things that we’re prejudiced about and how attached we are to those prejudices that define us.
Crocs
One of my closest friends is a nurse (now general practice but did years in hospital A&E) and she wore crocs all the time. Changed my response to them completely.
I fucking hated crocs when they came out.
And then I went on a canoe vacation in Sweden and now I swear by them 😂
They're so stupid looking, but so unfortunately comfortable. I wear a pair indoors all the time, but not to leave the house.
