it’s totally fair to judge someone

rarely

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You're judging them based off of what is ostensibly a first impression they have chosen for themselves. I can't imagine a scenario where that's not fair. And you don't need to form an entire opinion, but the opinion starts there. If their picture was a sports team I didn't like, some furry shit, or even MAGA, I'd form some opinions out of the gate.

I do the same. I don't have the time or patience to listen to every person on the internet to understand where they're truly coming from. What I meant is if I did I would probably find out that more often than not my initial assumptions were too harsh or otherwise inaccurate.

That hasn't been my experience. My experience is that my first impressions are woefully incomplete, but rarely wrong.

You aren't reading the wrong book, you're just only getting the prelude chapter.
