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

      Well, can you make a pretty good guess at someone’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) that’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 county’s overall political leaning with very high accuracy. I’m sure that same logic extends to clothes, hairstyle, accessories and cleanliness.

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

      I wanna see you try to guess my political leaning, who knows, with your ‘incredible accuracy’ you might just get it right.

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

        So, this is usually true for a lot of women, but oddly a lot of conservative men have colored hair, I wouldn’t use just hair color of course.

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

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

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