I have created a new metric

[Lorizael]

That you wear clothes is more relevant. What those clothes are... not so much.

Clothes mean a lot. Trust me. You ever see those make-over shows? There's a reason those exist. You may not notice what people wear but most people do. They really really do.

[DaShi]

Why would you do that? Seriously. KH is a weirdo for noting what cars his neighbors have but why are you doing it, too? Seems like really odd behavior with psychological implications.

I couldn't tell you what's parked next door to me. I have no idea because I don't care.

Okay. There's a beat up Ford F150 next door, a Dodge Charger across the street, and a shiny ass Dodge Ram next to that one. What does that tell you about my neighborhood?

People who own cars tend to notice more what other people are driving.

People's consumption habits are interesting to me.

And BattleBots exists to prepare us for the coming war against the robots, right?

It's only three data points, but it looks like they're selecting suboptimal cars on the basis of masculine styling, instead of their usefulness to the average urban consumer. It's a waste of thousands of dollars.

What?

Dude fashion is a trillion dollar industry. People really really care about fashion.

Pretend you're an HR Manager and two identical twins have interviews. Let's get real. Are you going to hire the guy on the left? They're both wearing the obligatory suit for an interview. Beyond that, it doesn't matter, right? Doesn't matter what the suits look like or what it could say about the person, right? They're both not naked so it's a toss up, right?



Clothes matter.

[DaShi]

It's hardly a waste of money, if they are getting what they want. It's not like they are buying these cars for racing or commercial enterprise.

I'm not arguing that fashion doesn't matter, but that it shouldn't.

[Al B. Sure!]

Well guess what. It does matter. And that means it's relevant for you to worry about what you put on your body.

Clothes matter.

I'd employ the guy on the left, looks like he doesn't wear a suit very often. Never trust a developer who looks comfortable in a suit...

[DaShi]

No way. Alpert is right there. There is nothing worse than an over-sized suit. I've been stuck in one before and felt like a right idiot. It makes you look inexperienced and sloppy.

But yes, the other guy looks like a self-centered *******. And not just because he's asian.

That you have at least three neighbors that wish they didn't live in Philly.

[MikeH]

You live near 3 drug dealers/car theives.
