I grew up in the northeastern US, then lived all over the world for 20 years before settling in the midwest, and outside of asians, I've only ever met one other person (an american with a european immigrant wife) who insisted I remove my shoes before entering his home. He did have some beautiful hardwood floors so maybe he just didn't want them to get scuffed. So what's the deal? Is it some kind of hygiene thing (tracking in germs)? I'm curious. Just so you know, I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't like walking around without shoes unless I'm at the beach.

Turdsdown Tom posted:I'm not sure how often you walk through mud and poo poo to get the impression that wearing shoes outdoors immediately makes them dirty, but you might be shocked to hear that shoes don't actually track in dirt like 95% of the time. That's what welcome mats are for. Yeah, I mean of course I'm going to take off my shoes if they're muddy, dirty, I stepped in something nasty, etc. I live in the suburbs and work in an office so it's not like I'm trudging through cow poo poo all day.

Namarrgon posted:In the light of the (obviously false) voter fraud claims; is their any measure that ensures you can only vote once? We get mailed a physical voter card about a month in advance with your name, which has to correspond with your id when you show up, and you don't get the card back. I live in Ohio. The only time we get mailed anything is when our polling place changes (which in my precinct, has happened about 3 times in about 10 years). We have to show ID at the polling place, and sign a book. Voting is done on a touch-screen machine. The only time I ever had to wait more than two minutes was in this past election. I showed up at 6:30 (when the polls opened) and waited in line for 40 minutes.
