Germstore posted:My wife has one. They were pretty popular last year. Off the top of my head, Borgore wore one in the video for Decisions, and Connie Britton wore one in Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. So those types of hats were initially designed for children with autism. The idea is that it was a nice, colorful character that they could bond with and the head tails have pockets for them to put their hands in. The pocket interior was a different texture than the rest of the unit to allow the child something to fixate on when it felt like it was going to freak out. BIG loving SURPRISE! The nerd community latches on to a device to assist in autistic therapy and use it as a fashion statement. Sometimes I really hate having nerdy hobbies because of the people usually associated with them.

Because that's hilarious. What I find weird is people who wear them in summer. I saw a couple of people with them last winter on campus and they looked like a neat variant on every other hat people wear to not lose ears in -30 degree weather. But they must be hot as gently caress during the summer.

Cordyceps Headache posted:Is this seriously true? Because that's hilarious. Nope. They were created as a fun way to raise awareness in endangered species, and some percentage of profits go to charities for said endangered species. There seem to be a LOT of people that are *really* butthurt about their existance though, for some reason, which is kind of awkward in itself once people start writing editorials about how people should be arrested for having fun.

^^^^ Dunno about those but i know that the head-tail animal hats started as something else; at least in my experience. Cordyceps Headache posted:Is this seriously true? Because that's hilarious. Yeah, I'm being serious. I remember seeing the prototype when I was auditing a developmental education course several years ago. The idea behind the hats is sound and has helped a lot of kids with spectrum disorders.

I always thought of that as more of a hipster thing than a nerd thing. Anyways isn't it better that more people are wearing them as far as reducing stigma goes? Otherwise you'd know anyone wearing one was autistic.

The pocket interior was a different texture than the rest of the unit to allow the child something to fixate on when it felt like it was going to freak out. So why is it bad that something that was designed to help people with autism is being normalized through popular fashion and subculture acceptance? I would think it better that Orlando Bloom is wearing one so that an autistic kid can get the benefit of wearing it and not stick out quite so much. But I'm not in developmental education. Maybe it's important to ensure something that helps autistic people is also never accepted in normal society?

Pretty sure these have been sold at raves and music festivals for at least 15 years? I think it's just something that's gained more general visibility with more people attending large festival-style concerts where vendors sell them. You sound pretty mad about some beanies though, might wanna get that checked out.

Alright, this is good stuff, let me write this down so I can remember which clothing accessories we're allowed to hate. So far, I've figured out that fedoras are supposed to send you into a flying rage and that transitions are probably a bad idea as well. Those animal hats, on the other hand, are totally cool and if you complain about them you're probably some kind of frustrated loser.

nutranurse posted:I also think some guitarists do poo poo like that, at least one of my guitarist friends does. Classical guitarists have longer fingernails on one hand so they can pick the strings. The other hand's nails would be cut normally. It's basically necessary if you're playing that kind of style. Not quite as trivial as using it to pick change up from a countertop. Edit: And when you're a serious enough player to grow your fingernails out, you're also serious enough to keep them immaculate and clean. Because otherwise it would ruin the sound. So it's not gross. stratdax has a new favorite as of 18:07 on Aug 17, 2013 |

Classical Guitarists tend to do it but they do it with every finger but the pinky since you don't finger pick with it.

Now, how about this?  They were selling them where I live in some lovely store downtown. I still have to catch someone wearing one.

Well, he's not entirely clean (his girlfriend keeps him within acceptable standards though, why she puts up with it I do not know), but he is a classical guitarist, so that makes sense! I guess the next time I see him I'll oogle his fingers to see if they're clean.

The "final bit" is the part Lewis added, which seems in keeping with his epic fan fiction approach to Christianity.
