HIJK posted:so if I wear my shoes in the house then you or someone else will be enraged and/or some other version of piqued? usually I do it because it makes my racist grandparents enraged because I'm not keeping to the Proper Culture but if I can piss off people I don't even know that's an even bigger bonus You could more easily enrage people by making GBS threads on their floor, like an uncivilized animal, which is what you are if you don't remove your shoes inside

I find it hilariously in-character that a bunch of Europeans see somewhere do something differently from them, and their immediate instinct is to yell and gnash their teeth and talk about how uncivilized this place must be.

In my experience shoes off in the house is a class thing. Middle and upper in the UK? Shoes off, dedicated indoor shoes. Working class like my fam don't really care or have cash to splash on separate indoor footwear

I was born in and live in the United States Growing up we never removed shoes but Millenials grew up and realized that that wearing your shoes inside while you watch TV or whatever is some stupid boomer nonsense so now it's pretty common, in my experience, to remove your shoes when you get home.

Looks like taking off your shoes indoor is more a typical asian thing than european. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tradition_of_removing_shoes_in_home.svg

What the hell are “indoor shoes” in this context? Do you mean like slippers or something, or are there people who have actual pairs of sneakers or whatever that you wear around the house?Neito posted:I find it hilariously in-character that a bunch of Europeans see somewhere do something differently from them, and their immediate instinct is to yell and gnash their teeth and talk about how uncivilized this place must be. I can’t speak for everyone else, but I consider this to be merely another data point for the US being a savage wasteland.

I take my shoes off when I get home, but in the living room. People who make you take your shoes off at the door always seem rude to me (but I do it anyway because it's not worth making a scene over). Also I do it for comfort, not because I'm a germophobe. The idea that your feet are 'clean' after sweating and shedding skin into your socks all day is pretty funny. I'd honestly say I find dirt on the outside of my shoes more hygienic, not less.

extremely online posted:"We" are only okay with men having no empathy if you're defining "We" as "toxic-masculinity poisoned men and no one else." The rest of We have been trying to address this kind of behavior as the problem it is for a very long time, but it's hard to make any headway since guys like you literally think you're all of humanity. God bless you for working SO hard for SO very long, without making any headway because everyone else is out to get you and sabotage your work. It must be very hard.

I don't think that's what anyone is saying. The social expectation that men will show little to no emotion and not confide in their friends the same way it's acceptable for women to is a huge contributing factor to the higher suicide rate for men. It's literally killing men and that's very sad for everyone but it's not "manly" to talk about.

If you need to wear outdoor shoes inside because your feet will get cold, your bloodline is weak and you deserve to be taken by winter.

AITA for insisting that my wife make more specific grocery lists and in units actually sold in the store? posted:I have been doing the grocery shopping for the family lately (I almost never do. I come along on occasion but my job is usually just to keep our older kid entertained because she "needed" to come along rather than stay home with me). My wife just had our second child and it's a huge hassle for us all go to the store at once so she stays with the newborn and the 3 yr old and I go to the store. This one has me torn. She writes shopping lists annoyingly, but he seems to refuse to think. You can't figure out how to buy chocolate chips, dude? Also why is she apparently doing all the cooking when she has a newborn. Like what if... he planned the meals and wrote up a shopping list based on what he decided they needed to make those meals? Edit: lmao I am no longer torn reddit comment posted:OP literally posted a picture of HIS WIFE'S spaghetti in r/food. He's not the kind of person who's going to cook anything. poo poo was embarrassing, people asked for the recipe and he was like "dunno, the wife made it". Sad. extremely online fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Dec 2, 2019 |

Just count, dude! If she asks for 20 oz. of chocolate for a recipe, you buy bags of chocolate that equal 20 oz. or slightly more! If they're out of organic lettuce but she's fine with you buying non-organic lettuce normally, buy the drat lettuce! He sounds like one of those guys who pretends to be incompetent at stuff so they don't have to do it anymore.

whiteness and americanosity are interchangeable, both whiteocity and americanility are the result of colonial forces ripping an ethnicity's heritage and culture from them in exchange for hollow capitalist sentiments. this is also why the Han chinese are white while the Uighyr are not.
