potd: you americans and your shoes

[Kalahari Inkantation]

Sometimes I think Tec will evolve to destroy humanity if the actions of the masses continue to defy logic and are instead based on feelings

destroying humanity for such reasons would be illogical and emotional on my part

because humans are, on average, more useful than not, strange a species as they may be

suppressing reason-defying emotional thinking and behavior would, however, almost unquestionably lift mankind upward, and make humans far, far more useful and efficient and productive than they already are

that's what i want

also i'd consider foot sweat equally as fuckin nasty as whatever you're picking up on your shoes outside, so if you aint bathing your feet at the door smash that mother fuckin' yes yall

1. socks

2. bathing

3. I actually have a door mat in front of my bedroom door.

no filth gets dragged into this room by me, otherwise my nice white carpet would have browned long ago

1. socks aren't a magical bacteria shield so that's irrlevant. they're porous to boot.

2. that's what i'm saying, do you bathe at the door?

3. ah, so you can spread the feet germs around a little more and pick up some germs from the last time you wiped there, gotcha

well sure, for proficiency and usefulness that's why we have machines

There are many logical reasons for the destruction of humanity especially if you value rationality above all else. The elimination of agents of chaos would certainly help. The only reasons not to include fear of incarceration and sentimentality for them. What's upward for humanity is entirely subjective anyway!

the thing is, literally everyone who wears shoes indoors regularly could vote 'sometimes' and be technically correct because they presumably don't wear them to bed or to shower, at the very least (one would hope)

lol, i'm voting no then

[Kalahari Inkantation]

okay, how about this: far, far less filth gets dragged into my room than if i or any other family member were to wear shoes indoors

also the doormat can and does get regularly cleaned


also my bedroom is literally right next door to my bathroom lol

Too late Cmong you're going to have to have a patch designed like a shoe sewn into all your clothes

i think you're missing the point

the point is that even the most avid wearer of shoes indoors could still vote "sometimes" and be ~technically~ correct, as there are probably very few people who wear shoes 100% of the time

i wholeheartedlymindedly and vehemently disagree with every word of this, but perhaps that's a topic for another thread lol

Probably 

There's not really such thing as an objective utopia though

There's not really such thing as an objective utopia though

well i never once indicated that there is or possibly could be lol

but certainly you'd agree that humanity could do better, and that there's no good reason (aside from inefficient use of emotion) that it couldn't be doing better

of course perfection is beyond the realm of possibility

but a greater average is absolutely not necessarily unachievable

okay well duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

nobody wears clothes 100% of the time
nobody breathes air for 100% of the time either for that matter

this is a pointless matter of fact lol

to me "no" would mean "i absolutely prefer to never wear shoes indoors". yes means "i absolutely prefer to wear shoes indoors". if those are the only two options, then yeah, I guess I'm in the no camp. "sometimes' would open up the option to "i don't really care about it too much and i do whatever makes me feel comfortable for the moment". that's where i would stand had I the option, but since i don't i fall into the no camp

capiche?

You said you disagreed with every word of this so clearly you did indicate so

Sure i could agree humanity could be doing better but which direction to move it in is the issue that would be disagreed upon.

you have made me realize that the poll would have been more effective had i euphemized the "yes" option as "sometimes", and then personally interpreted all "sometimes" votes as "yes" votes

so i'm going to modify the options to read "no" and "sometimes"

[C.Mongler]

thank you, i am pleased we were able to compromise, i shall re-vote accordingly

omg these are the most kawaii things i have ever seen 

they're only 1500 yen

only downside is that they're pretty small so i think if your shoe size is bigger than like size 7 women's, they'd be too small
