Notes -
Just had a random thought. Arguing on TheMotte about politics is kind of like stepping back in time to the 1800s before radio and TV. This is an era of politics that people like Postman like to idealize, and I see why. You come to admire and/or believe in other posters because of their arguments/style rather than good looks. At the same time, it's not like this place is a beacon of rationality (despite being better than most of the rest of the internet) at all times, which I think highlights the rose-tinted glasses nature of this kind of thinking. That said, I've enjoyed getting to know users here by the way they write, rather than how they look.
Interesting. I keep a picture in my head of how everyone looks. Probably wrong but I'll never know.
Go ahead and start listing them off.
Ha, well it's my mind's eye, so probably not a reflection of actual appearances. You're 40ish, heavyset but stout, not fat, big hands, short cropped hair for the hardhat, or possibly balding. You burn instead of tan. Clear blue eyes. Beard and moustache, a goatee type setup. Polo shirts, favoring blues or the occasional yellow someone else bought for you. White guy. Any dress shirt is a button down and probably short sleeved.
@thejdizzler is late 20s, about 185 cm tall, about 75kg, fit by any reasonable standard but not in his own mind, wears glasses, fools around with facial hair sometimes but not currently. Short wavy hair brownish. Also a white dude.
