Do you do this because they are openly a fan of something nerdy or what some people consider "childish" or do you typically find people that are fans of anything enough to wear t-shirts of it to be generally annoying/obnoxious?

Well then those bitches are fucking shallow and I would not want to with them anyway I honestly wouldn't care if I had a girlfriend that wore gaudy/ugly/tacky clothing (as long as the reason was because she didn't care rather then thinking it looked good)

I care little about how I look but I find it incredibly annoying when someone nags me about the way I look, long uncombed messy hair/typically unshaven. because it seems so petty and pointless to me. The only thing I can understand someone being avoided due to stench/they need a fucking shower which is actually a relatively common issue at my college because of people playing games all night and then skipping their shower cause they'd miss/ be late for class if they took one. The only 'look' based stuff I care about is weight issues. I'm not exactly lean or even very healthy, but I wouldn't say I'm fat either. It is all about what you look like in the buff and I'll admit I don't look particularly great.
Ok then. Maybe this is something 12 years old's have right. I really don't give a shit though. :P
Though again I personally associate this with my nerdiness then childishness. Also, everyone I know at my college wears shirts like this a lot or at least at some point other then maybe a select few (one friend particular comes to mind). and while I personally don't buy clothes for the sake of looking good other people will buy and then give them to me as a gift and I don't turn down/waste gifts/free stuff.

EDIT: yeah, getting laid for me will be kind of a bitch because I'm picky and I'm not motivated enough because it seems like to much work/time/money/risk. Then there the fact that I suck in social situations with woman that are actually interested in me which is a rarity in of itself... either that or there are times that I'm oblivious to a girl trying to get my attention.

lol dude stop trying to defend a lack of dress sense. its not a good thing. does your mom buy your clothes for you.

edit: the only people that will hang out with you are just as socially inept as you. enjoy never having a life because of your lack of self respect

edit: buy nothing day is dumb as shit

Well unless you buy from a co-op and live in a communal society you're still living a life of excesses that relies on over-exploiting third world proletariat.

*uses mac computer*
*plays xbox 360*
Play Raimond Ex (if you haven't already)


I'll not TAKE ANYTHING you write like this seriously because it looks dumb

jesus christ what's up with all these people attacking dietcoke. reread his posts, even he's kind of taking this like a joke and it's pretty clear that any argument you're going to make about "long term economic solutions" is one he knows about and probably lives by. apparently barack obama is a small step in the right direction but a single day boycott is just STUPID LIBERALS! AND THEIR...IDEAS!

fuck's sake dom is even defending mcdonalds breakfast, what's wrong with you all. it's a lighthearted topic this is pretty clear!

i am actually being serious by the way.  my ass is stuck in iraq, so basically i can't buy anything and i am here in order to further an ideology that is all about excess, so i think it's an interesting paradox.  it's not necessarily an attack.

this one.


at least with band shirts its like YEA I WENT TO THEIR SHOW which has a lot more cred to it then YEA I REALLY LIKE X GAME/ANIME

unless you get band shirts from non-concert venues which i think is probably pretty dumb!

wait, do you seriously avoid people if they are wearing a shirt with a band/tv show on it?  that is seriously the dumbest shit, I'm wearing a Sonic Youth shirt right now what is your opinion on that.

But I don't lack dress sense. I know what looks good, I just see as too expensive to bother with/don't know how to get it cheap.

also, I'm not socially inept, I'm just awkward around girls because I'm not used to hanging around them. I see the girls problem as something easy to over come, I just haven't gotten around to trying because of the lack of girls at my school. I'd rather not weird out the few that are here.

i'm more in shock that in a full commitment to be an iconoclast dom has decided to defend mcdonald's shitty fat clogged breakfast.
It isn't just McDonald's... pretty much all fast food is pretty awful. it is to bad that all my friends like it and when ever we go out they'll suggest fast food I'll be like "I'm not eating shit".
There are a select few fast food places I can tolerate though.

EDIT:

Actually he avoids them because he assumes they are just obnoxious fans. He doesn't avoid people if he thinks the thing they are a fan of is stupid. Also for him band shirts are different because they are trophies to signify that he went to a concert.

No, I agree. I've never tried also because I end up saying the exact opposite thing of what I should say so I've avoided anything more then being a good acquaintance. Though there is one girl that I wanted to try a relationship with but I was to slow because someone else got to her first, and I don't think she had the same interest in me anyway.

I don't even have a drivers license or ever had a job... I'm pretty lazy.
