It depends on what you mean by judging. You judge how fast a car is coming in order to safely cross the street. Every one must make judgments to survive. A-ha! You DO judge!

Right now, I'm judging the idiot in my office who is telling different stories to different managers to cover her ass. Does she really think we won't talk to each other?

You "judge" every second of your life . You couldn't get through the next 5 min without judging your environment. But I think when most people refer to it they mean it more as something that is simply gossip or critical.

Okay - I was just all Judgy. I just rode up in the elevator with two women. One of them was huge. They were talking about where to find red velvet pancakes. If I was meek and mild and accepting of everyone in the world, I would have smiled vacantly and ignored the conversation. If I were a junk-food junkie, I would have been thinking, "Where can I get one?" But Noooooooooooooo, I'm a Judgy-Judge because I thought to myself, "Honey, you don't look like you need to be eating pancakes."

Well, I don't judge anyone based on pajama pants these days. It's actually a popular high school fundraiser. Pay $1 and it's Pajama Day! On occasion, the teachers can pay $30 and wear jeans for the rest of the semester. I honestly don't have that many pairs, and we can wear them on Friday for free as long as we wear a "spirit" shirt.
I figure pajama pants will be the next office casual look. I am not kidding.
That's sad for me since I really enjoy seeing a man dressed up. Suit/tie is a real turn-on for me. Don't tell DH since he's retired. Lol.

The first picture looks like the young man has a Didgeridoo - an Australian wind instrument.

The pictures:
1. Dude, it appears a sea creature has passed away on your head.
2. I got nothing.
3. How can he/she read with his/her eyes covered?
4. I got nothing.

That dolphin dude is freaking me out Yes. If that is not the mascot for an internet site promoting pervy and completely inappropriate animal/human behavior, that company really, really needs to get some consulting on their marketing strategy. This could be a good thread. Name some of the worst, creepiest company logos or mascots you've seen.

That dolphin dude is freaking me out If you visit the dolphynvisions.com in the watermark, the pictured individual (presumably Justin Swatsworth, who owns the site) appears to be an artistic type who likes to dress up as a dolphin. He's selling a book that he authored. He displays some of the artwork he's proud of. He claims to have made the costume himself, which is impressive in its own way. I didn't see anything "pervy" at a glance. Odd, certainly, but not perverse. To me it raises the inherent polysemy of 'judgment'. Are we judging him morally? Socially? Are we critiquing the social acceptability of his hobbies? On what basis do we do that? Are we making an assessment of his mental competence? Is he so far adrift from social norms that something has to be mentally "wrong" with him? If we met him at skydiving school the next day and discovered he was our instructor for a tandem jump, would we jump with him? If a daughter claimed to be dating him, we looked him up, and this is what we saw on his Facebook page, would we have words with her? The same questions would apply to the individual in 1. Images 2 and 4 are more judgments of situation and demeanour. 4 is actually Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein.

It's healthy to use a little judgment when googling things or visiting websites. You can pick up all sorts of nasty viruses from questionable websites.
As for the guy in the unfortunate dolphin costume dating one of my children, one picture alone wouldn't be enough to move me to talk to the child about it, but it would possibly send up a red flag. Combined with multiple other red flags, it might be enough to warrant a talk.
I'm the one who had the tandem skydiving experience where the 6'4" muscular guy I was strapped to explained he'd just gotten out of prison and then started hitting on me on the way down, so yes, I'm a little more selective about who I get strapped to now. Freaky dolphin guy would be a no-go.

BTW, for most women, making judgments about situations based on a combination of their experience, the appearance of the situation and people involved and the setting is one of the ways they stay alive.
If a guy in a dolphin suit like the one pictured above asks if you want a ride in his panel van, it's best to rely on your judgment and say no, IMHO.

Not if you keep your browser up to date and know enough not to grant special permissions, run unsigned executables, or install plugins. I've been surfing the internet for 19 years. During that time I've picked up only two viruses, both of which I got by running executables I downloaded from infected sites. I'm not making a comment on whether or not it's wrong to judge him. I'm pointing out that we benefit from periodically assessing why we judge others, and whether those judgments are reasonable or not.

I'm still alive, so I think my judgment is reasonable and working OK. If you don't get any posts from me for more than a month, then you can assume my judgment on something was off.
Or the dolphin guy got me.

I don't think dolphins should have legs. That is my judgement for this day.

I thought the dolphin costume was well done down to about elbow level, then it started to have problems, mainly because dolphins don't have feet. Maybe the fault lies with my inability to appreciate the gentleman's artistic vision in re dolphins, but the feet are just weird. I liked the face, though.

Maybe the fault lies with my inability to appreciate the gentleman's artistic vision in re dolphins, but the feet are just weird. I liked the face, though. I found the image by typing "fursuit" into Google images. "Fursuits" is what these costume enthusiasts call their costumes. If you browse through the results, most of them look ridiculous (in terms of quality; no comment on "general" ridiculousness ), but some are very well made. Somebody posted a video of a dancing cat a few weeks back, and aside from the fact that it was doing the disco, it was hard to tell it was a guy in costume. I thought it had to be CG at first.

Oh, yes, I did appreciate the execution of the dolphin costume. When I was young and cared about fashion, I made all my own clothing, so I did recognize that it was, in fact, well executed. It's the feet where the whole thing just loses me. I'm not sure what he could have done differently and still remained ambulatory, but I find a bipedal dolphin to be just a tad off-putting. I'll take your word for it about the other costumes.

Well judging from this thread... Virgil is into some freaky deaky shit... But no judgements from me! Aha! The inevitable lulz insinuating a poster is dolphin man. This requires that such an insinuation is an insult, with the obvious premise of that insult being "dolphin guy is a nutter". Ergo a judgment has occurred. You've tacitly said about Mr. Swatsworth: "your conduct is so shameful that even being compared to you is an insult". As I said to milee, my role in this discussion isn't to assess the rightness of your judgment, but to ask you to consider on what basis you make it? What specifically do you object to, and why?

The dolphin dude looks Like the Lemoyne college mascot, which is a dolphin. He's announcing the start of Dolphie Day, a huge party in the spring. I'm judging him to be a fun guy.
