[P] I've been randomly thinking about shoes and how odd they are. I know some of you are forced to wear certain kinds because lemming society demands so I cast no aspersions on you. I'm just talking about shoes from that lemming perspective of "fitting in." It doesn't quite fit in the category of ritual mutilation, but... I mean, it almost does? It's not as bad as some forms of it, but it's still societally expected mutilation.

[P] It's not in the same category as wholly unnecessary circumcision (which is a purely religious, unscientific thing and I'm glad it never happened to me) or the far, FAR worse thing they do to some poor women. But it IS still kinda ritual mutilation that all the lemmings who "fit in" agree with. I tend to wear sandals, flip-flops, or vibrams if I MUST wear shoes because I refuse to take part in it. It's just so unnecessary.

@wearywulf I’m grateful to wear shoes. Gravel parking lots, sawgrass and burning hot beaches are unpleasant barefoot. It’s a decent invention.
