    My own shopping list includes a PT Cruiser (absolutely no other reason than I really like the styling), a Nissan Leaf (because electric cars are cool), a Ram 2500 diesel (farm truck and another alternate fuel), and a Dodge Neon (because I liked playing with Matchbox cars).
    No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

      Drug dealers don't drive pickups, they drive Escalades.

        Superficial developers are the worst.

          But yes, the other guy looks like a self-centered *******. And not just because he's asian.
          They're both Asian. Pretty sure it's the same guy. And I'm not just saying that cause Asians all look alike.

          Developer? Umm. What about if you're the HR manager for Goldman Sachs and he's interviewing to be an IB associate?

          Honestly, I'm not even sure what a developer is? You mean like a programmer? Asher dresses like a slob so I guess the computer nerd type is expected to look sloppy but anyone else in management, banking, sales, customer service, etc. should look better.

          A sloppy suit doesn't say go-getter.

            Nice cars are common in the hood. We've been over this on Apolyton way back in 2003 when I took pictures and everyone remarked how nice the cars were and how ****ty the houses are.

                IB types wear nice suits, which is why you should never trust them. Also why they've no idea what they're doing.

                Look at the Barclays emails...no joke, that's what they talk like. It's like ****ing high school.

                Honestly, I'm not even sure what a developer is? You mean like a programmer? Asher dresses like a slob so I guess the computer nerd type is expected to look sloppy but anyone else in management, banking, sales, customer service, etc. should look better.
                Computer nerd types dress nicely. Expensive shirts, tucked in, dockers, etc.
                Computer geek types dress practically.

                You want computer geeks as developers. Computer nerds are too formal and abstract.

                A sloppy suit doesn't say go-getter.
                A sloppy suit just says "they made me do this".

                Go-getters don't need to spend a fortune on clothes to give the image of competence. Real go-getters go get **** done.

                  I routinely berate suits for ineptitude while wearing hoodies or t-shirts, and they reward me with stock options and bonuses.

                  The real world cares about performance, not dress.

                  Welcome to the 21st century, *******s.

                      Yes, the bankers threw a hissy fit about it when he wore the hoodie to the IPO.

                      Bankers are a bunch of pretentious douchebags, in general. All about image, posture, and fronting.

                      They're idiots who would be flipping burgers if they weren't busy losing other people's money.

                                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?
                                There's nothing weird about looking at other people's cars. Maybe if you weren't a weirdo with no car you would understand.
