This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.
Edit: nothing against anyone commenting, but I don't care a lot about this particular innocuous comment and don't want to have discussions about it forever, so I'm going to quit replying to new comments, feel free to leave them or downvote me or whatever, I'm just dipping on this greentext thread.
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.
