Helpful life tip

'the ick' seems to just mean 'neurodivergent person did something neurodivergent' when i see it used colloquially tbh
- It's wild how often people get away with essentially saying "you disgust me and I find you very sexually unappealing" completely unprompted.
  
  Thank you for putting into words why I don't like the phrase.
- This is often the case sadly

Shoes in the house is so fucking nasty actually. And outside clothes on the couch/bed
- oh no i'm not falling for that one again, if you want me to change into a cute maid outfit before sitting on the couch you're going to have to ask nicely
- putting sheets and towels on the furniture when my filthy fucking friends visit and refuse to don a clean suit
  
  When was the last time you washed your couch cushions?
  Also
  NOOOOOOO YOURE NOT MY FRIEND IF YOU DONT LET ME PUT MY SWEATY HOT BODY AND CLOTHES ALL OVER YOUR EXTREMELY DIFFUCILT TO WASH UPHOLSTERY
- I'm actually glad my parents never really cared about this stuff although I do personally only rarely wear shoes indoors. Like if I'm doing work and in/out. And outdoor clothes I can only assume means like you were doing hard, sweat-causing labor or otherwise dirty labor. Not like driving to the store and coming home to change into pajamas before you sit on the couch (lol). Like yeah if I go for a jog of course I'm going to get a shower before I sit on my furniture or bed. But otherwise...
  But as a child of Yakub I am accustomed to living in my own filth
  
  The metric I use for the couch/cushions is like this:
  If I took off the clothes on my body right now, would I put them into the hamper or are they still clean enough to wear again? If they’d go in the hamper, I’m not sitting on the couch with them.
  The metric I use for the bed is much more strict:
  Unless they are clothes I just took out of the drawers/closet, they don’t go in/on the bed.
- And outside clothes on the couch/bed
  you're alone on this one whiteboy
  
  Weird to just be assuming that people are white lmao
  but anyway if im alone on that one, maybe I shouldn’t be. So be honest, when was the last time you washed your couch cushions and pillow cases? Grimy mf 💀
- I agree about outside clothes on, or especially IN, the bed. WOW. That is just so nasty.
- thinking back to the person who I know who (consensually) sprays guests' backs with alcohol before they're allowed to sit on any soft furnishings in their home
  
  Ok that’s a bit much, I just mean if you’re like out sweating or just did a whole shift etc I’d prefer you use a chair

I don't know anybodynwhobwears shoes in the house. I guess Mr. Rogers did, but he had specific shoes he only used in the house.
- He wasn't showing the carpet gripper for free. You had to hit his premium for that one.

Always relevant
- That was really really good.
  As a middle aged man, I almost wish the girls were a little less sexually drawn, as I think I'd enjoy the anime for just the comedy.
  
  To me the style always seemed less sexualized and more "the animators don't know how to a booby"
  
  I'm confused. The one in red is the teacher, and the one in blue, the student, has only her head and forearms exposed and isn't particularly chesty or curvy.
  
  Azumanga is NOT the show that comes to mind when I think of “sexualized characters” hahaha
  
  This scene isn't really a good example of that, Yukari-sensei is the teacher here. However some parts of the show are definitely weird that way, nowhere to the point of other shows fortunately.

When they wear shoes indoors, do amerikkkans put on their socks and shoes before they step out of bed?
- In my childhood, my white family took our shoes off and put them in the closet. We walked around in socks all day.
  Having enough Asian and neat flat mates got me in the habit of going barefoot or having special in-house slippers (for cold days).
  
  Not that I live in the S'Shah anyways, but whenever I've been there, I've always taken off my shoes just by the door, as does anyone else, and this goes for Norway as well. Putting them in a closet rather than under the coats and jackets and stuff sounds strange to me.
  What really gets me about Seppo houses is the doorknobs, though. And also the beds. And the asbestos.
  
  I was for sure “barefoot in home all day” camp growing up, but I’m in “socks” camp now that we have a bunch of cats hahaha
- when I was little I always imagined white pipo wearing their shoes in bed because tv shows would depict it
  I still do tbh, it's hard to scrub the image

Just confirm they are a Russian White (not to be confused with a White Russian, ick!) person.
My girlfriend is White but thanks to Russian culture she is house trained.

There's a woman in my city who's made wearing shoes indoors her whole identity (she even changed her Twitter username about it). Such a weird concept to me...
- President of white American culture
- it's white resistance
  like when they pretend that washing chicken under tap water is going to kill them. it's the principle of the thing
  or maybe they immune systems really that bad idk
  
  What is this about washing chicken under tap water? They think it'll make them sick or something?

- I don't wear shoes in the house but I don't think there's much validity around cleanliness
  uhhhh
  you definitely track in dirt and dust and whatever's on the ground outside (snow, broken glass, dog shit, road salt,), if you wear the same shoes outside and in.
  It doesn't necessarily make the person dirtier but it definitely makes the house dirtier IMO. Not by like, a ton, if you clean regularly its probably fine esp if you don't have carpet, but I still am not a huge fan. The "tracking in bits of broken glass" thing actually happened to me recently. Bunch of car break-ins on my street and a few days later I start finding pieces on the ground in my apartment.
- I don't wear shoes in the house but I don't think there's much validity around cleanliness unless you've got a shower by the front door and are doing a full wash and change (and even then, I'm not convinced this would make a positive difference in most scenarios)
  Mud and stones very easily get stuck to shoes, and tracking in water is a dick move too.

I am from Appalachia, and never did we ever wear our shoes inside. I often go around the house in socks, though.
- mountains make you nonwhite
  europe is a floodplain
  
  Switzerland?

I stopped wearing shoes in the house after going over to a Japanese professor of mine’s house who made us go shoeless (Japanese as in ethnically Japanese, not that they taught Japanese). I was like, oh this makes sense, and I’ve been doing it ever since.

Sorry America, this is just a you thing

I wear shoes in the house, but it's because I have terrible feet which torture me without my orthotics
- You are excused
- Same. I'd be completely hobbled without my house slippers.
  
  House slippers are completely fine. Wearing street shoes inside, that's the weird thing.

not tryna be the saviour of the white race here but no one in britain wears shoes inside
- It would quickly be a catastrophe anywhere where it snows in winter.
  
  yeah. I see people do it in the summer (and lightly judge them for it) but it just straight up doesn't work in winter
  I'm surprised more public facilities (schools, offices, etc) don't have facilities to change into more indoor appropriate footwear though. Nobody wants to clean salty slush off their floors every day at home by tracking that in but we do it every day in public and just let the janitors deal?
- I'm Australian, also generally the case here. I think it's an American and Canadian thing.
- Such strange behaviour. Shoes off or get the fuck out of my house.

If I take my shoes off my feet will get dirty from all the dirt I tracked in by wearing my shoes
Liberals destroyed with facts and logic once again.
- House shoes/slippers.

i'm white as fuck and even i only wear socks inside

i remember watching American Dad a couple years ago, and there was this was this episode about how francine's adoptive parents were Chinese. and one of the running jokes of the episode was the mom going around telling everyone to take their shoes off indoors? and this was supposed to be seen as weird?

I thank doG everyday for not being born an anglo :dancing-roach:

What if I don't wear shoes in the house but also don't wear shoes outside?
- as someone who has frequently done it out of laziness, I can tell you, it hurts as fuck

Has she never met a Canadian?

I'm white but Scandinavian so my shoes come off inside

WE DO its disgusting.. I swear sometimes I take my shoes off and find another pair of shoes under them.. and a bowl of unseasoned egg salad in my hand.. whiteness is a disease
