I always imagine that, after reading this post and similar posts, there is at least one person on Reddit who is a functinal, kind, caring and fun member of society and really likes to wear, say, an Obey cap. Innocent and carefree, they are suddenly informed that many people think they are a complete tosspot for wearing said cap and their entire week is ruined.

[–]accidently_a_femur 102 points103 points ago

I wear nike everything. It wasn't on purpose, I swear. I just woke up one day and was like... oh no, I just did it.

[–]UhOhOreo2012 59 points60 points ago

Hey, Nike shirts are pretty nice quality and don't look bad. It's not hard to find them for like $15. Don't judge me for being FABULOUS

      Gasp Wouldn't want an entity as important as reddit, with meetups like the Baltimore one, judging the way I look.

      [–]meliaesc 116 points117 points ago

      We vowed never to speak of that!

      [–]Battletooth 48 points49 points ago

      Now that it's been spoken of, can anyone tell me what happened there? I hope it was sex. Or playing Scrabble. Or both.

      [–]Jokrmein 62 points63 points ago

      A topless photo filled with a bunch of redditors. You do the math.

      [–]ChagSC 80 points81 points ago

      Bitch tits. Bitch tits everywhere.

      [–]Jokrmein 104 points105 points ago

      Yes, most redditors are fat. Which is funny, because of how much Reddit hates fat people.

      [–]samplesizeme 81 points82 points ago

      Makes sense - poor self-esteem and self-loathing.

      [–]ElGoddamnDorado 47 points48 points ago

      Or there's actually people here who aren't fat.

        I'm beyond fat, so that gives me reason to hate fat people.

                              EDIT: My mistake, I didn't mean all commenters. I should've said "but a lot of the commenters..."

                                  A cardigan is a type of sweater your grandpa wears, and a hoodie is a hooded sweatshirt.

                                    [–]RetardedJedi 50 points51 points ago

                                    Now you know that Obey and Diamond are popular clothing brands and that's why Reddit hates them and their customers.

                                    I think it's more the inherent contradiction of self-styled rebellious, anti-corporate youth conforming to a particular, often corporate produced, fashion style.

                                            Obey is brand, it has recently been taken over by every person ever because they're 'cool'...

                                            DMND supply is a skate/street brand, In america people are probably cluster fucking it now but i'm british and not many people know what it is and those who do skate... that sounds hipsterish but you know what I mean for example DC went from skaters-> fucking every child and man.

                                            I should probably admit i'm wearing a Diamond hoody right now.

                                            I have no idea what a CDB is though.

                                            CDB means Clarks Desert Boots. They are the staple shoe of /r/malefashionadvice.

                                            I think in America Clarks is called "Clarks of England" and is seen as a bit more fancy than we see it over here. Them boots are like 70 quid though, so maybe Clarks is a bit fancy over here too?

                                                          It probably was but I feel like this is referencing the southpark episode when satan has a birthday party and wants a ferrari cake but get's an acura cake instead, which itself is a reference to "my super sweet sixteen"

                                                          I feel like it could also be a reference to God Bless America.

They have just enough responsibility to help an unskilled teen learn what work is like. The 30 year old should be overqualified and looking for more appropriate work. I hate how our (US) society tries to pretend that every job should support a family.

My family was poor and I wanted to go to college. I made the time.

And what makes you think being 30 makes you "overqualified" for basic jobs in this economy? Not everybody has even a high school degree, and most of that demographic also works other jobs simultaneously.

As a 22 year old who has had both parents on disability for his entire life, learning good work ethic does not come naturally.

My dad works with youth and the majority of them have jobs while almost everyone I went to college with is unemployed and getting rejected from McDonald's.

Doing well in school is far more important than working a part time job so I would rather they did that to be fair.

                                                                                                              If they are shit in school and lazy then they can't have anything but I think that's how it generally works anyway right?

I was able to take a class in biotechnology for 4 hours a week and through it got me a job working in a plant pathology lab for a little over a year and a half during my senior year of HS and freshman year of college. Worked around 15 - 20 hours a week and took regular classes + the 4 hour classes and then in the summer I was able to do a full 40 hours.

                                                                                                              That's the kind of work we need today's youth to be doing. More opportunities to get into the kind of work they want to do. Not worrying about whether they'll have to work at McDonalds 20 hours+ a week while trying to keep a high enough GPA to get them into college.

                                                                                                              load more comments (17 replies)

As long as I did well in school, she would cover my expenses. As soon as I got out of high school, I got a job, and started going to college. She no longer covered any expenses except food, and an occasional gift of gas money. I don't have any problem with it.

                                                                                                                I would have had a problem with it if she had not taught me anything about money, and how to spend it. (insurance, taxes)

                                                                                                                I honestly don't know why people would be angry at someone who did this... Unless their child is failing school... and is a lazy twat.

Teach children the value of money and good work ethic, teach children to appreciate what it takes to earn things, but still spend some money to make them happy and help them enjoy life a much as they can.

I dress nice, I like to buy nice clothes, wearing nice clothes just makes you feel great I don't know how to explain it.

                                                                                                                    I don't think op is mad at people who wear good clothes though. He is mad, and I agree with him 100%, about the people who buy rediculously overpriced shit (I could be making this up cause I have never worn nor seen any Obey or DMND clothes at a store) then take a picture of themselves on instagram or upload it to tumblr and brag about "their" swag. When I saw the meme it more reminded me of the kids that have every LVxKW sneaker and buy clothes so that people know they're rich and not because they're nice looking. These kids are assholes who are normally failing out of school and think they are going to be rich their entire lives. Although without expensive clothes these kids would literally be nothing so atleast they're lucky enough to grow up wealthy.

                                                                                                                    [–]Icantevenhavemyname 33 points34 points ago

Yet when someone, knowingly or not, says something so intelligent as "Why should you care what others do with their own money?" turns into something that is now acceptable and worthy of upvotes. I wish people could apply that same logic towards wealth envy in their politics. Hating ones neighbor for having more toys than you is a terrible mindset for a community.

                                                                                                                    [–]The_Full_Retard 6 points7 points ago

My Dad is pretty successful and worked his ass off for it. Nearly 70 and still working. He is still not 1% but has more than enough to not have a mortgage, travel if he wants and get some items I'd he pleases. The problem with the 1% isn't that they have a lot of money, it's that they are willing to influence others to make more money for them at the expense of the middle class.

A doctor who makes a mil a year and buys his daughter a sports car I dont think many people will have a problem with. A guy like "Papa John" whose company is a billion dollar company, yet wants to eliminate minimum wage, pay his employees shit, duck taxes and is only worried about his profits instead of the well being of his employees rubs people the wrong way.

                                                                                                                                      And I am aware I'm generalizing now, but this is the impression I get from people on this site. If you come from a wealthier family or the upper class you're automatically a douchebag.

                                                                                                                                      The majority of the wealthier kids I've been around are extraordinarily arrogant with a hugely false sense of entitlement. This attitude has them ostracizing and ridiculing poorer people for not having been given the fancy clothes, phones, and cars that they have solely because of their parents. I kid you not, I had a rich girl in one of my classes act like she was going to gag the moment she found out I wore the same overshirt 2, sometimes 3 times a week. I am not unattractive or overweight. I shower regularly and brush my teeth. She was "gagging" at the thought of me re-wearing the same few sets of clothes throughout an entire semester.

                                                                                                                                      This is the same experience most "less-privileged" redditors have with wealthier people, because with reddit we're talking about mainly college-age.

                                                                                                                                      The wealthy people always put it off with claims like "you're just jealous", which only fuels us to hate their egotistical attitudes even more. I will say I've met exceptions though- rich kids who dislike other rich kids since most of them have this "my parents are rich so I'm better than you" attitude, because their parents actually raised them better than that. In my experience people like that are too few and far between.

                                                                                                                                      [–]wtfizzle 10 points11 points ago

Far too many people are arrogant over their parents' accomplishments. I actually broke up with an ex-girlfriend for laughing at another kid's car. (She was 16 and driving an Audi her parents bought for her.)

                                                                                                                                      I was privileged, but I never felt superior for it; rather, I felt somewhat guilty for having it easier than friends of mine.

The day i turned 18 they stopped completely, seriously, up till the day i turned 18 all I had to do was just ask and they would give me whatever.

                                                                                                                                                  That completely fucked me over in life. I had no concept of money, at all. For all I knew it grew on trees, I just knew it was supplied when I asked for it. If I ever have kids, they will be getting jobs when they turn 16 and they will get allowances before that for doing chores.

                                                                                                                                                  I see value in a person making their own money, even as a child. I wish my parents had given me an allowance, I wish they made me get a job when I was 16. Then maybe I could have avoided the complete shock that came when the money tree just stopped.

                                                                                                                                                  [–]JingoZaa 10 points11 points ago

It makes more sense that the older person who makes good money to pay it forward to the young generation that doesn't yet have the opportunity.

I never washed it.

It had this cobra thing on it. Kinda cool looking, really.

Because I see this way too much. I come from an area of arizona where there are a lot of Mexicans and everyone tend to knows who's illegally here. Well, from what I've seen from kids at school and people I know, "obey swagkillazx" Doesn't work, but has the nerve to be on facebook all day talkin about partying, Smoking weed, fuck bitches, 'snitch niggaz that's that shit he don't like', and he's wearing at least a few hundred dollars in clothing... Now I'm all for parents taking care of their kids, its cool, its loving. But its bullshit when obey swagkillazx is legal, healthy, and is ABLE to work but doesn't, And his illegal immigrant father is out in the arizona heat busting His ass every goddamn day being a day labour to provide for a family.

I've been engaged with my fiancee for 5 years (dating for 10) because, unlike our friends who get paid by mommy and daddy here on Long Island… we have to fend for ourselves and don't have an extra $15K hanging around for even the most simplest (yet overprice) wedding. "Why aren't you married yet?" they'd say. Sorry, we don't have a blank check ready to go so we can spam our Facebook feed with wedding and baby photos.
