I hate the whole publicly traded model of sock exchanges. I hate capitalism. But have to engage in trading socks (I mostly do crew cuts and a small quantity of direct socks) so that my fabric doesn't lose elasticity by sitting in a drawer or hamper.
Same thing with t-shirts, don't like exchanging shirts and getting marked on a centralised list for that but it's a safer option than using your own.
Fortunately I don't do laundry so that's a plus.
Saying "I wish cold feet didn't exist" isn't praxis.
We've got to work with the world as she exists.
Well, you can shirt the sock or you can take a really deep breath of ("lung") the sock.
There is a really fun episode of the askhistorians podcast that talks about foot wraps, created with fabric no longer suitable to its original use. Used prior to the invention of certain loom technologies which enabled mass production of knitted tubes. And until relatively recently by the Soviet/russian military. The guest is a very strange kind of nerd.
