Go frolic in the woods then. We live in a society, you're freedom and happiness cannot infringe on mine.

I have read the other comments now and I will admit at second glance those feet look pretty clean and I don't see any fungus or anything to be concerned about.

However my view hasn't changed. As a society we have to have a line that is fair, simple, definable, and defendable.

That line is "keep your shoes on in public". Once we start saying "her feet are probably cleaner than her shoes... And the bus seat is probably more dirty than her feet already" ... I do understand that point and I would agree if there were nothing else to consider.

It makes the line ambiguous. It jeopardizes the simplicity and enforceability of a rule we as a society put in place for a real reason to solve an actual problem that has a real benefit for all of us.

Those feet look clean, I agree. So when are feet not clean enough? Is there a chart, honer system, or complaint regulated? My feet are clean but I have thick yellow callouses because of my unnatural gait caused by my foot pain. It's not contagious but might look like a fungus... Can I put my bare feet on a park picnic table? I mean people eat off Park tables but they are outdoors and exposed to alot worse, people should be using plastic table cloth anyway... I am I allowed to put my bare feet on a park table?

If some with Hep C is barefoot in a flea market that has a sign saying shoes are required, with very clean feet... But someone broke a novelty glass bong shaped like frog and didn't report it because they were worried they'd have to pay for it. The broken bong got cleaned up but not before a shard got accidentally kicked into the exit near the food truck parking. The barefoot customer with hep c cuts their foot and naturally lift it to put pressure on the wound and a drop of blood gets on a childs hotdog. The child doesn't notice that because their braces have been irritating their lips and they were more concerned about that. The child contracts hep C.

Who's responsible? The barefoot customer? The clumsy customer? The bong vendor? The owner of the flea market? The food truck? The distracted child? The dentist who didn't provide wax for irritation?

Yes I know I'm overthinking it but that's exactly my point. As a society we need to have clear, simple, defined, enforceable rules. Once you start adding "well her feet are clean" you obscure that line.

Keep your shoes on in public. That's the very simple line we've all agreed apon.

That's what bothers me. The government is like 'the memes about him aren't true, he's nothing special. It's just murder'

Then they turn around and prosecute saying 'this isn't just murder! Look at all the memes! This needs to be enforced like the special event it is'

You can't have your cake and eat it too. The judicial branch has been downplaying it as a simple murder. One man mad at another man. Nothing more. Cool. Then prosecute it as such.

The inconsistent words jeopardize the faith in the system. Neo Nazi lynches a man to prove a point to an entire race that they are not safe... Murder, not terrorism.

Guy kills a CEO over his personal issues with treatment with no master plan or manifesto? That's a terrorist?

The public needs consistency or we lose trust in the system.

I've never understood this. I have a condition with my feet that means i pretty much walk on bruises everday of my life. In medieval days they flogged people's feet to torture them with a condition I deal with every day.

There are days I take off my shoes and sob.

I would never do that. I keep my shoes on in public.

The bottom of this person's feet are not purple like mine are. What's their excuse? Put your shoes back on.

That is probably correct to the phrasing of the question but I don't think it's correct to the spirit of the question .

If I have a billion dollars and everyone else has one dollar, I am powerful.

Time moves forward, inflation, whatever.

I have 2 billion dollars now and everyone else has 2 dollars.

Nothing has substantially changed in that scenario.

But even if we only allow me to grow:

Again I have 2 billion dollars now and everyone else still has 1 dollar.

Nothing has substantially changed.

That's my disagreement. There is a limit. Diminished returns.

The difference between a one bathroom house and a 2 bathroom house is huge. The difference between a 20 bathroom house and a 21 bathroom house is basically meaningless.

You can only be "so" rich and people can only get "so" poor. At a certain point the change isn't meaningful, but once you pass a a certain threshold it's worse than meaningless. It becomes worthless

If you have all the money in the entire world and no one else has any money... The money no longer has any value at all. It then becomes pointless and valueless.

I'm not smart enough to point out the exact line. There is a line where the rich can't be richer in a significant way. Elon musk i think is at the point. He could lose 50 billion dollars or gain 50 billion dollar tomorrow. It wouldn't impact his life or our life.

Likewise people can only get so poor before the concept of currency breaks down completely. We kind of see a glimpse of that with credit scores. I have bad credit. I don't care that I have bad credit. I'm not going to own a home anyway. I don't care if a credit card company sues me because I have no liquidatable property or items. Even my wages can't be garnished because my child support maxes that out alrwady. My debt and credit score are meaningless. Money itself can get that low as well. If the imbalance gets too far the money becomes worthless.

There is absolutely a limit. There is a line.

(this is a joke) To be fair I can make the exact same claim. I could murder someone and the number of votes I receive yearly will not be impacted.

Probably not the best time to push for that if you plan to live a long life. We are eating the rich now.

I've had that thought about animals.

Wild animals always run away when I'm walking thru the woods which is kind of a bummer.

However I remember that every deer that approached a human in the past was killed and eaten. Every animal that didn't run away was eaten or domesticated.

The ones that ran away survived and had more offspring

And I think the onion could sue for copyright infringement or something to at least close the accounts.

What nonsense are you going on about? I pay my taxes. I contribute to society.

Btw the local wildlife population CANT support all of us. Animals and fish will go extinct and people will starve to death and die you absolute goofball.

Oh and hunting and fishing on land our laws keep the wildlife population stable in WOULD be living off society while contributing nothing. Societies hunting and licensing laws are the only reason there's anything left to hunt or fish at all.

Enjoy jerking yourself off all day.

Edit: even native Americans nearly hunted all animals to extinction until European disease devastated their population. Native Americans had much smaller population and were far far less greedy with their hunting than your average billybob12-gauge. It's not a sustainable way to live.

See the problem isn't that robots might replace my job, it's that we live in a system where I need to work to eat.

We made belts and bracelets. And we sold all kinds of wallets and bags that we didn't make.

Read rhymes with lead, and read rhymes with lead, but lead doesn't rhyme with read and lead doesn't rhyme with read.

I used to work at a leather shop. I can say alot of women find that pretty attractive. Too bad I'm asexual.

I know it's like the people who get mad at me when they get hit with my chainsaw and it's like "look wrong or right I've been out here swinging these chainsaws while wearing a blindfold for 24 years you need to get used to it"

For breast cancer color - did you know pink used to be a boys color and blue girls? I see no reason the color couldn’t stay pink

I did know that interesting fact. Funny story that's loosely related is my family talked me out of naming my son Ashley. Ashley is originally a boys name.

Another fascinating thing is that pink wasn't the original color for breast cancer charity or spreading information at all. I can't remember the original color but companies didn't want to pay to actually help anything at all, they also didn't want to actually put effort in to explaining anything or educating anyone... so they switched to "awareness" and picked pink because it wasn't trademarked or owned

Basically they wanted to look like they cared but wanted to do absolutely nothing. So... Pink ribbon with the tag of "aware" We helped make you aware that this is a thing that happens. That's free and easy.

Losing what?

I can tell you for a fact if men had boobs our bras would have pockets.

Edit: oh God... I just realized... If men had boobs "dapper Daniel" would use a French cuff bra instead of normal hook kind. It would be secured with a solid gold and pearl bra-cufflink that no one would even notice except he brings it up constantly and scoffs that I'm not taking enough pride in my appearance because I use the hook kind.

God damnit Daniel, no one cares but you. I've never had a date walk away because of my clasp. They walk away from you all the time because when you say "the square alabaster shows loyalty, the round topaz shows I'm driven" all they hear is that you need to control every micro aspect of life and they won't be allowed to where heals anymore because they might be a 1/17th of an inch taller than you. So keep your opinions to yourself you greasy haired little weasel.

Lol yeah I know a few people like that. I'm asexual so I almost never want to discuss boobs. Unless maybe conversations about the concept or idea of boobs. For example:

If men also grew full on boobs instead of just nipples.... Would women be attracted to them? Would look for men with larger boobs? Would they want to motor boat them?

I know what your first thought is... "Well if you've had any lesbian friends"

I have, but that doesn't give a meaningful answer. Lesbians like women, boobs are on the physical characteristics of a woman that are different than men's bodies. What lesbians do or do not find attractive is irrelevant for this hypothetical.

If both men and women had boobs, how would that affect how sexy the boobs would be? How would that affect society? Would women walking around shirtless be more normal? Would breast cancer ribbons still be pink?

These are the questions I don't want to bother my friends and family with at 2 am lol.

I'll try that one too. Thank you.

Ive been out of the loop with AI stuff, I never thought much about them until I saw the AI girlfriend ads on you tube. Then I started thinking that might be perfect for thinking out loud and figuring stuff out.

It very quickly became clear the girlfriend aps are programmed exclusively (and lazily ) for lonely horny people. I probably should have expected that from the ads but I figured if it's AI it could learn commands like "stop trying to change the subject to boobs"... Nope...
