What's weird to me is that Riker isn't really my type, but almost every one of these could get it

Okay, cool! I thought you meant those toe shoes at first. What makes them "barefoot" shoes? Is it just the wide toe box?

For me, I actually go up a full shoe size when I stand vs when sitting. I got my feet sized all through childhood and my 20s and always had horrible pain in shoes, and ended up learning this when I went to a podiatrist. My feet squish out like playdoh when I stand up. Lol. I've been treating my podiatrist shoes with kid gloves for years now because I lost the food insurance lol

Link to the shoes?

Shoes are fucking horrible. There is no reason we should be shaping our feet to match our shoes. It's like a way less extreme version of Chinese foot binding, but it's so common it's insane. Bunions and foot pain aren't normal, they're normalized. Wide toe boxes! We need wide toe boxes!

Thank you for attending my Toe Talk

I can't find it right now, can't remember the name. But she looks exactly like this asshole YouTuber a family member watches.

As a dachshund dad, I would wear this daily.

Firstly, that would be awesome, but imagine the spam.

Secondly, I'm a proponent of thorn, I get it. But ð was almost exclusively used medially and terminally in English. In addition it didn't last nearly as long, and is much less recognizable as a letter in English. Þ was used initially, and is far more commonly seen in English. I get that you're using them for voiced and unvoiced like in Icelandic, but that wasn't so much the convention in English. I'm not against it, I'm asking to be sold on it. Lol. Sell me on why I need eth instead of just using thorn for both voiced and unvoiced, please? I'm willing to be converted.

And third, I'm having trouble finding it, was eth on it's own ever used as a single letter spelling of the, or is that your own addition? I like it. When writing (by hand) notes or things only I'll be reading, I use the þe shorthand that looks like an e cradled in the crook of a y, like was common in colonial America.

I can imagine a world where only teen girls are in power. A teen girlocracy. It would either be amazing, and there would be no hunger or homelessness, or absolutely horrific. It depends on which clique got elected first, I think.

friendtopia could be truly horrifying

Fucking love seagulls. Grew up at the beach, gulls everywhere. They used to dig in our trash cans and we had to put heavy weights on the lids. Still fucking love em. They're awesome, amazing trash birds who give zero fucks. I have seen gulls fully steal food from people's mouths. I've seen them sit on windshields and refuse to move so you can drive, including just allowing the wipers to fwap into them repeatedly.

Seagulls aren't cunts. Seagulls serve cunt, and I love them for it.

I've had a few of those life-time dreams, and they fucked me up real good. Several times I've fallen in love with the man of my dreams (literally) and been depressed for days afterwards when I realize I don't have that anymore. It feels like genuine loss.

And one time I was married to an agoraphobic whoopie Goldberg for 40 years, and woke up just as her sister and I convinced her to leave the fake house we lived in for 4 decades, that was 23 years ago and I still wonder if she would have been able to do it or not.

It's been pretty helpful in writing fantasy, but most of what it spits out is sort of... Surface level kids stuff, to be honest. But it has helped come up with a few interesting twists when I'm stuck. It's not something they could write a story for you, but it has helped when I need, like, "I have scene A, in which X happens, and even C, in which y happens, help me bridge them by writing scene B." It'll give me some sort of like bedtime story level writing, and then I go in and completely redo it, but it gets me unstuck. The paid ones may be better, but I'm not spending money on them, I just use the free ones.
