Looks

Hey people who buy things strictly for aesthetic value! Here's a list of helpful hints:

Computers should not be purchased because you "like the way they look." That's stupid.

It is, however, okay to buy art because you like the way it looks. If you're one of those people who would buy a computer because of its aesthetic, but feel that you need to have some deep artistic purpose behind purchasing a work of art, you are an idiot.

Cars have aspects of look to them, but if the car that looks better costs more, and you could be buying a nondescript but practical car, your idiocy is proportional to the amount of extra money you're willing to spend.

Clothing is mostly for looks. Thus, buying clothes because you like the way they look is mostly permissible. However, if you buy clothing that is uncomfortable but you think looks good, you are stupid.

Gosh, this is fun. It's amazing that this is all because of a commercial I saw.

Hey Microsoft and Apple. We're tired of the commercials. You're a PC, you're a Mac, we don't give a damn. You both lie, and you both say things the wrong way. Not that I'm exempting Linux from this; they just don't have the money to advertise. Poor bastards.

Anyway, back to looks. Sex is all about looks. Don't try to think differently. If you're having sex with people who don't attract you, well, I don't know how you do it.

Friendship, on the other hand, shouldn't have anything to do with looks. This isn't a moral issue, this is a practical issue. If you aren't friends with someone because of the way they look, then your criteria for friendship are screwed up.

Basically, there are things which are about looks, but if you think that some things are when they, in fact, are not, you're an idiot. I make these pronouncements. Do not argue with me. I may disagree with myself tomorrow. As I said, this is pretty much about a commercial I saw for Microsoft where someone was buying a computer based on its "aesthetic," and said they were "picky." No, you're an idiot. Go away.
