yeah, that was my issue at the time, my shoes had finally completely fallen apart on me and i needed a new pair for something. they fortunately let me finish my task when i explained my predicament.

some barefooters like not washing their feet. personally, i don’t get that. if my feet are dirty when i get home, i just wash them in the sink real quick. don’t need any special tools; hands, water, a bit of soap, and maybe a washcloth will be plenty.

ugh, i hate that woo-woo “grounding” bullshit. gives the rest of the barefooters a bad name. honestly there’s so many good reasons to go unshod without bringing in magical nonsense.

unless you’re in a place where human shit flows freely, that is not much of a concern. stores are usually not such places.

it is!

my understanding is the the american discrimination against bare feet and the still shockingly common ‘no shoes, no shirt, no service’ signs, started as a way to more discreetly target black folk after the civil rights act, as they were more likely to be poor enough to not have shoes. barefootedness had already had an association with poverty for quite a while at that time, and thanks to the legacy of slavery, poverty has always had an association with black people in america.

the anti-barefoot crowd gained more steam through the sixties and seventies as a reaction by conservative business owners against the hippie movement.

so basically, the US’s negative attitudes against bare feet have their roots in racism and reactionary anti-counterculture sentiments.

here’s an article about this history i found, if you wanna read more.

i’ve been accosted and kicked out of places so many times for being barefoot: grocery stores, restaurants, a bar, book shops, even a shoe store. i’ve basically been bullied by society at this point into wearing shoes whenever i go out, despite my own preferences. it’s not illegal, basically anywhere, but you’ve been quite lucky to not have gotten any shit anyways.

well that’s a relief.

except, the ground is outside in the freezing london winter, during an age with draconian ‘move along’ laws that mean you’d be hassled by cops all night. ground would be more comfortable, that’s why the coffin costs 4 pennies.

ya’ll ever hear about “Mike the Headless Chicken”? survived 18 months after a botched beheading left him his brain stem.

that is probably because for some reason, in america, people think of DD as being enormous, when in reality american bra sizing just sucks and places seldom stock larger than that.

i mean, what did you want them to do? slice your head open and dig around manually until they find the Bad Thoughts?

i’ve read that lobsters are sorta immortal. the problem is they keep growing, and eventually they can’t get themselves out of their shells when they molt, and they also have trouble getting enough food and avoiding predators when they get too big. if they had society, i bet lobster kings would be enormous and ancient.

i had never heard that definition of factoid before this thread, personally, so i figured folks might appreciate a source. *shrugs*

it’s fun, but alas, false.

same for the others honestly. ‘i was just following orders’ is just what one says when you get called out for doing heinous shit so you can pass the buck to someone else in your organization.

allow me to introduce you to misotheism. my favourite take is that of famed mathematician Paul Erdös, who referred to god as the ‘SF’, which stood for ‘supreme fascist’, who he said horded all the best mathematical proofs for himself.

i’m in my mid 30s, live in the US, and get one or two points. i am pretty sure i’ve never recorded music off the radio onto a tape. i am not sure if i’ve ever sent or received a fax. i did record songs off of the radio directly onto my first mp3 player though.

i’m actually curious what they think the third color is, cause, at least where i am, grocery stores almost always have green, red, yellow, and orange.
