Iā€™m surely just deranged, but I wholeheartedly believe I can tell someoneā€™s political leaning without even having to speak to them, just from their appearance. So far Iā€™ve had incredible accuracy.

Edit: nothing against anyone commenting, but I donā€™t care a lot about this particular innocuous comment and donā€™t want to have discussions about it forever, so Iā€™m going to quit replying to new comments, feel free to leave them or downvote me or whatever, Iā€™m just dipping on this greentext thread.

I found the shitlib final boss. I can just smell the smugness over the wireless connection. Imagine being white enough to write this.

So, this is usually true for a lot of women, but oddly a lot of conservative men have colored hair, I wouldnā€™t use just hair color of course.

You guys can get super butthurt, but Iā€™ll bet I could guess you guys out in public too.

Thereā€™s a lot that people give away about themselves from the way they walk to the faces they make to the gestures they use.

People are butthurt because literally the only evidence youā€™ve used to support your claim so far is ā€œtrust me broā€

Yeah no, you might just be the former. Sure, appearance and body language sometimes works due to stereotyping, but itā€™s definitely not the most reliable metric.

I wanna see you try to guess my political leaning, who knows, with your ā€˜incredible accuracyā€™ you might just get it right.

Send me a video of you shot when you didnā€™t know you were being recorded or meet me in person I guess because Iā€™m not sure how else to do it fairly, but Iā€™m pretty sure I could get you right.

Well, can you make a pretty good guess at someoneā€™s profession and wealth by looking at them? Putting aside actual political apparel and some hobby/in-group indicators (EG RealTree camo or anime merchandise) thatā€™s probably the correlation.

Back when image recognition AI was the hot topic I recall someone did a study which used it to identify the vehicles parked in front of homes and businesses from street view photos, and used it to predict a countyā€™s overall political leaning with very high accuracy. Iā€™m sure that same logic extends to clothes, hairstyle, accessories and cleanliness.

People lie with words all the time, but their body language always tells the real truth if you learn to listen

You can gauge a book by its cover, but until the story in known, judging should be reserved.

So no judging, just gauging. Got it.

Iā€™m gonna call my judging gauging then.

I think the phrase has the same basic problem as a lot of common adviceā€¦ the real truth is more nuanced than any pithy phrase could ever be. At best, itā€™s a quick way of reminding someone who already knows better but has temporarily forgotten.
