i'm a cracker ass honkey and I would never put my shoes on a bed

Good. Titles indicating societal position or gender are bourgeoisie and should be eliminated
I call my dad by his first name because I couldn’t get comfortable with calling him “dad” when I was too old to call him “daddy” and started just using his name ironically lmao
this is fucking stupid. they show the special relationship you have with the people who made the choice that you should exist, and spent years of their life and great amounts of money and effort to bring you to adulthood. Your mom is your mom to you, you cannot have the same relationship with her that would with any other person in your life. Your parents shape you into the person you are, whether for better or for worse. Although it would be good to have less gendered options to refer to parents as while maintaining the affection, it is in fact good to call your parents by names which the reflect the unique relationship you have to them. Except for siblings, no one on earth has a comparable relationship to your parents.
But we’re talking about other people’s parents. Why would I call my friend’s mom anything but her name?
:mao-wtf: mama and papa are basically the first things you can say. These words, or similar derivative words like mom, mum, mutter, mater, mami, mother, ma and so on are common to most languages even when there is no linguistic relationship, and get traded as loan words rapidly due to how easy they are to say for babies. So no, parental and other familial names are a key part of human culture, going back to the origins of language.
Sure but we’re talking about other people’s parents. I have no cultural connection to your mom.
Shoes are only for surfaces You wouldn’t walk bare foot.
Shoes off at home.
Shoes are only for surfaces You wouldn’t walk bare foot.
You get older. You have kids. The kids get into legos. You start wearing shoes in the house.
bro I’ll walk barefoot outside this doesn’t narrow anything down
This movie is a 10/10, and I will fight anybody that tries to say a bad thing about it
I’d give it a 9/10 because
spoiler
It’s just a part one right now.
I fully expect the 5 hour version to be a 10/10.
Movies usually have endings. I'd rate it a 4/10 because my dad fell asleep during it and was snoring very loudly before I woke him up.
This is like that tiktok of the lady who rated the movie a 3/5 because she saw it in 4DX and it was too much.
You gotta knock at least one point off for all the copaganda
Fair point. Very sad, it was so colorful and heartfelt otherwise
spoiler
I think it actually gives an ACAB message, perhaps unintentionally.
For Gwen’s dad, “catching Spider-Woman” was the only thing he was focusing, to the detriment of their own relationship and of course the good Spider-Woman did to the city. He couldn’t see how much he was hurting her because he was too focused on being a cop. And this came to a head beautifully during the confrontation.
When it turned out it was his own daughter, his cop brain made him turn against her. In that scene he literally shoots a bullet after she says she has no weapons.
And in the end, the only way for him to not arrest her was to quit being a cop. That was the only way he could be a father.
It’s the definition of ACAB, even if the movie doesn’t mean for it to be that way.
I dunno. While there is some copaganda, you can also analyse it, especially in Spider-Man’s case, another way.
Spider-Man is objectively a good guy who does good shit but is constantly harassed by the police who only want things to be done “their way”, which is often shown to be ineffective when it comes to catching the real bad guys.
It’s always just one good cop who begrudgingly accepts/respects him, thereby showing just how irredeemable the whole institution otherwise is.
And specifically for the movie:

For Gwen it was the opposite. “Catching” Spider-Woman was the only thing her dad was focusing, to the detriment of their own relationship and of course the good Spider-Woman did to the city.
And then when it turned out it was his own daughter, his cop brain made him turn against her. In that scene he literally shoots a bullet after she says she has no weapons.
And later on in the movie, the only way for him to not arrest her was to quit being a cop. That was the only way he could be a father.
It’s the definition of ACAB, even if the movie doesn’t mean for it to be that way.
This feels like grasping. She literally tells her dad that he's a good cop and that if he didn't have the badge, someone not as good might take his place. It's the bad apple discourse that won't die. Miles' dad is also a "good" cop in the film whose death, acc to every character and the whole story arc, would be a tragedy.
Not to mention super heros in general are just cops. Miles always busts small time petty thieves, like the Spot, who initially was just gonna rob an ATM and said "this is insured, it hurts banks, not the small business owner" or whatever. And he was right!
I love superhero media, it's junk food to me, but I'm not gonna pretend they're not cops or that the corporations selling superhero media aren't pro cop. Spider-man doesn't go after landlords and business owners. He goes after ppl who steal to survive and cartoon villains.
Yeah, I don’t disagree with any of this.
My point is that there is enough material in the movie to make some agitprop out of it, especially when you compare it to most other media like the MCU or Transformers.
Also, there’s Hobie.
Nice try, obvious troll. Go see it and then come back :no-copyright:
sometimes it's static from them, and style over function for something that doesn't work IRL anyway.
There was an opinion piece written about defending not removing shoes going to someone house
Ofc it is written by a wh*te
i don't wear shoes in my house. i think i remember doing it as a young child, but i remember at a certain point being a young adult i stopped and became a shoes off in the house guy. my family started doing it after i did, because it was noticed that places i lived were tidier than the family home and i'm not particularly energetic about cleaning... basically, it's easier to keep the house clean. my shoes are either right inside or outside the door with a little rack or small rug. i don't really notice when guests come over if they leave them on. i don't think about it or ask them to remove their shoes. i'm not sure i care exactly, because i don't have carpet so floors can be cleaned easily and i would prefer people just make themselves comfortable.
but i've had multiple people come over for the first time, people who know me, and they see that i kick off my shoes immediately and say, "oh, of course you don't wear your shoes inside." like there's something about my personality or identity that makes me one of "those people". i don't know what that means and have never been able to get a straight answer.

:stalin-gun-1::stalin-gun-2: awful
Typical french behaviour to wear shoes inside.
Al-Andalus shouldn’t stop at the french border
Ofc it is written by a wh*te
that's not really an own. It would be really weird if someone who didn't do it wrote about it. Like, I'm not going to write a paper defending swedes not feeding guests. Even if i supported that, which I don't, it's their fight not mine.
How anyone can wear shoes any longer than absolutely necessary is beyond me. Unless it's a public space or there are a ton of snakes or like, big shitting animals, I'm going to go barefoot.
She also calls his parents by their first names.
Like I didn't even know what most of my friends in high schools last names were, not gonna call someone Mr. or Mrs. Mayo.
Some of them? It just never really came up and then once you know someone for a year or two it gets awkward to ask. There used to be a lot of people who knew who I was but not vice versa, so a lot them were just "Dude".
That's funny, I had the opposite problem. I had friends whose parents asked me to call them by their first names, but I could never remember what those names were. I knew my friends' last names though, so I always just ended up calling the parents Mr or Mrs _______ instead.
I mostly just tried to avoid addressing my friends parents directly at all
When I was little I thought all wypipo wore their shoes on their bed
Now that I'm an adult I know better that it's only like 60% of wypipo
I'm so white I burn under moonlight and I've literally never seen anyone do this
beds, chairs, and any surface you'd probably eat off of I and the white people I know don't where shoes on, but everything else is up for grabs. I know a lot of white people that are very specific about not wearing shoes inside though.
Yeah...it is depressingly common. Seems to be more anglos than celts or continentals. In Europe taking your shoes off inside is common. Same in NZ as a diffusion from Maori culture into Pakeha.
Heck in rural aus/nz it is reare to even put shoes on as a kid unless it's too hot to go barefoot.
The more rural areas I’ve lived, the more common I’ve seen shoes on in the house. Same with the size of the house, if really big, common shoes on. City house on the smaller side have most commonly been shoes off. Although I’m a shoes off regardless kind of guy
As a someone who lives in a rural area myself, this is accurate. In fact, I've been poked fun of by family and friends for NOT wearing shoes around the house occasionally. Of course, I do now now wear shoes around the house, but mainly out of necessity than want.
Sometimes the landlord lets a batch of live scorpions loose in your apartment, it happens
Dirty floors, running in to grab something, puddle from something leaking, doing any electrical work, etc.
My family has 2 dogs and 3 cats. As it turns out, if I walk bare foot in the house long enough the dogs' hair will inevitably dig into my soles, like splinters. This happened once, and the painful extraction of those hairs is reason enough to keep my shoes on.
I've literally never thought about this but it tracks 100% with my experience damn
I remember being a kid and entering a friend's house, and asking their mom if I should take my shoes off (I lived in a shoes off house). She looked offended and said "we're not Muslims." Nice, loving, totally-not-racist, Christian household.
My feet get cold, so I wear shoes inside. If I go over to someone's place and they expect me to take my shoes off, I will, but I also am not gonna be trying to visit again after that, because I will literally be miserable and just waiting until I can politely leave the entire time, unless the floor is super warm (and it never is).
That said, I also would never put my shoes up on someone's bed, because that's fucking gross. You keep your shoes on the floor.
wool socks
not like big fuzzy ones that are mostly padding and only 25% wool, but actual wool socks
My feet get like 90% less blisters, they're warm when they need to be but wick sweat fine when they're hot, they don't wear out after like a year, etc. They are amazing.
I don't call people out for wearing their shoes into my place usually but they objectively make my place dirtier and I don't love that. I do come from a part of the world where shoes have to be taken off when you come in for much of the year though because melting snow and road salt is really not something you want all over your floors
I wear wool socks; it doesn't fix the problem, unfortunately. My indoor thermometer says it's 76 degrees Fahrenheit in here, but my hands and feet are cold, and I'm wearing socks and sneakers (I did eat some cold cereal not too long ago, but they've been pretty cold all day). I'm familiar with snow and road salt, but I usually just swap shoes when I get inside to deal with that.
I’m familiar with snow and road salt, but I usually just swap shoes when I get inside to deal with that.
But I'm assuming you don't bring clean house shoes with you to other people's places? That's the issue
There wasn't an issue; I took my shoes off as requested (and I'm pretty sure it wasn't snowy out either of the two times I can remember this happening to me, though it's been years so idk for sure). But I haven't been back to either person's place.
yeah sorry, not trying to be callout-y I was just thinking in my life that would be a big issue because I go over to other people's places pretty often and the snow and road salt is pervasive like 5+ months of the year, and I would not go into anyone's house with snowy shoes, it just makes such a shitty mess to clean up. But if it works for you :vivian-shrug:
