Only if I've recently come in and plan to go back out again

In the Czech Republic they told us it was considered rude to wear shoes inside someone's home so I've kind of just kept that going

Post by: Kalahari Inkantation on June 22, 2017, 12:30:28 AM
czechia is correct, of course

actually i'm pretty sure the us is the only country in the world in which wearing shoes in living spaces is common and even expected

shoes are naturally going to be much dirtier than a fresh pair of socks no matter what

yeah i have socks. no slippies, though tis a fair point, i've been meaning to get a pair. but then there's really no difference between wearing slippers and wearing shoes lol it's not like i'm trudging through mud all day and it's not like my floors are some magical disinfected surface

regardless the floor is the floor and i really couldn't care less how much bacteria is down there because it's the floor lol i eat on the table for a reason

if you limit the use of that particular pair of slippers to indoors-only, then no matter what, it would naturally be cleaner than a pair of shoes worn outdoors

but wouldn't it be nice to be able to eat that random french fry (or w/e it might be that you accidentally dropped) off the floor rather than be forced to throw it out

because i could eat it, safely, because nobody in my house ever wears shoes indoors hocuspocus;

i like how all the respondees who indicated 'yes' are apparently too ashamed to vote 'yes' in the poll lol girl;
Title: Re: potd: you americans and your shoes
Post by: C.Mongler on June 22, 2017, 07:46:48 AM
i'm just too lazy to vote for anything


and my answer isn't yes its "like maybe 1% of the time if i'm feeling lazy"


what are these binary options quit oppressing me
Title: Re: potd: you americans and your shoes
Post by: Kalahari Inkantation on June 22, 2017, 08:04:10 AM
well there really are only two responses to this particular question lol

'sometimes' is equivalent to 'yes' here

'sometimes' is certainly not a 'no'

if i had offered 'sometimes' as an option in the poll, everyone who wears shoes indoors would have voted 'sometimes' and not 'yes' in order to feel better about themselves
Title: Re: potd: you americans and your shoes
Post by: C.Mongler on June 22, 2017, 08:10:47 AM
it's like there's a difference between "sometimes" and "yes" or something, weird doodhuh;

like i've probably spent less than an hour or two collectively wearing my shoes in the thousands of hours i've spent in my domicile, but that's a flat "yes"? how does that make any sense lol

oops i forgot to grab my glasses from my desk as I was leaving and walked back over there with my shoes on, i guess i wear them literally all the time inside now
Title: Re: potd: you americans and your shoes
Post by: C.Mongler on June 22, 2017, 08:11:48 AM
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

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)

it's a yes or no question: do you wear shoes at home

yes and no have objective definitions

"sometimes" is subjective

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

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!

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

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

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"
