Disheveled hair. If you have long(ish) hair and you're going out in public, at least drag a comb through it so you don't look like a bed-head.

  • People who take phone calls with it on speaker
  • People that have anything on speaker while in a public place
  • Wearing "MAGA" clothing
  • Having a cyber truck
  • Leaving large gaps in the drive thru queue
  • People with young children that they dress up like little adults.
  • People who refuse to learn basic tech (email, texting, etc.)
  • Edit: People that don't like animals, or they dislike just cats. I feel like people who don't vibe with animals in some way are... Off.

~~damn, I'm a judgy bitch~~

These are all reasonable. Add people that let others in, in potentially dangerous situations.

Eating meat although they're fully aware, that we have to shift completely away of that (GHG emissions, land-use), and then blame the government that they need to regulate this more.

Yes more government regulations would be great, but it's one of the few individual things that have effect, if everyone would think similar. And a vegan or mostly vegan diet is not really worse in taste and likely more healthy as well... Eating meat is not sustainable (nor morally justifieable), it should be a thing of the past...

And from the downvotes I conclude that this will remain a mostly secret judge. It's sad, that you don't see it yet, this will very likely be the future whether you like it or not (when we don't fuck it up completely, but I'm somewhat hopeful).

The argument that meat is cheaper is also not really true anymore. There's basically no reason to eat meat anymore. Matter of fact, I developed a distaste to meat when I mostly stopped with eating meat, after eating way too much before (tastes kind of rotten compared to plant-based), try it out, it's easier than you think, and gets easier over time.

People who are using their cellphone/mobile as a telefon (calling someone) but not holding it as a telephone but as a slab in front of their face. And ofc with the speaker on.

Slightly better but still stupid: Videocalling (or Facetiming) with the phone right in front of their nose.

I mean, just hold the phone so that the speaker is at your ear and the mic is right by your mouth...

'It has chemicals in it'

This use of 'chemicals' as something inherently bad just makes it sound like they're parroting some scaremongering tiktok.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I had this talk with a member of my family. Water is a chemical, salt is a chemical. Just because you don't immediately know what it is, doesn't mean its bad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

I’m sure they know, but maybe this is word drift or shorthand for “harmful chemicals”. That’s a lot more plausible than literally turning “literally” into its opposite

Whether people read as a hobby or not. As it implies a type of interest into the world around them.

And as a lesser second, what they read.

Aks instead of ask

Believing in any form of higher power/religion

Using proprietary chat apps like Discord, Telegram, Slack, LINE, Meta’s WhatsApp / Messenger. Still judging on apps that require a SIM & mobile OS (like Android) primary device like Signal… or an expensive chat protocol like Matrix.

Hosting your code & bug tracker with a propietary forge like Microsoft GitHub when you say you support open source—but don’t even bother to apply the same mentality to your own project.

…Oh, the question was “secretly”.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Wait, if not Matrix, what is a good software for this? I thought it was preferred for having an E2E encryption implementation.

People who don't like cats.

I've noticed a correlation between people who don't like cats and having narcissistic or selfish tendencies. Could be just an impression but that's how I feel.

Their choices with tech, choices in consumerism (Stanley Cups hype, hypebeast brands, Temu shit, etc), not using blinkers, amount of time spent staring at phones, hobbies

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Shit Parking.

If you're driving a 2 ton metal box and can't have the spatial awareness to fit it into a large rectangle, you shouldn't be on the road.
