In communities dedicated to everyday carry items like wallets, knives, and electronics you’ll frequently see community favorites that kind of act as the standard.

That and memes like the photo I linked made me think about a community of pseudo minimalist people who focus on living with portability or functionality in mind. Things like sleeping in a sleeping bag on a cot, relying on a docked laptop for gaming, or only using a single bowl for a majority of your meals.

It’s a bit of a long shot and odd question but I’d be interested to see what they’re passionate about.

Before people make Reddit style quips I’m not talking about not being well off or homeless. I’m also not really talking about people who have to move for work like truck drivers or people who stay in hotels. More like easily being able to move

    No, you should not “generalize” when those generalizations are negative and targeted at a specific group of people. That’s called stereotyping and is widely considered a bad thing.

    • Stereotyping is simply a relabelling of the basic human intellectual activity of categorising everything specificly in the context of human behaviour.

      For example i can categorise your behaviour and take an educated guess or as u would call it steriotype you. I assume ur a male, i assume your american, i assume your politically left of centre left, i assume your going to vote for kamala harris, i assume you are pro choice, i assume u support ukraine and have concerns about gaza, i assume u believe in free speach yet feel the need to censor hate speech, misinformation, and malinformarion.

      How accurate is my steriotype? do u see why its generally considered a usefull tool?

        • It helps me identify the biases of this person argument and provide relevent examples or put them in situations where they must argue against an idea they believe to defend the point in the argument they are having. It makes pointing out people doublethink easyer. It allows you to infer thibgs without needing to ask.

          Why do people wear sports teams, brands, get piercings, tattoos, fancy cars, literally any other form of personal expression. Is that not simply signally allegiance to a steriotype as to allow others to observe to communicate to meet people of commonality?
