Usually the space between floors In a residential house is like 12" minimum. Not sure about highrises and large apartments though.

I just find regular clothes so uncomfortable in a relaxing setting like lying on the couch and watching tv.

Perfectly fine with them If I’m at work or going about my day outside but pajamas and loose clothing are just so much nicer to me than jeans or collared shirts at home

Actually I absolutely agree with your friend and I don’t even stop at jeans.

If I get home after work and I have zero plans to leave the house again or have anyone over I am in my Pajamas as soon as I can get my pants off, even if it’s only 5pm lol

I mean, if you’re doing yard work or something understandable to leave your shoes on in your own home if you’re coming inside for a snack or to grab something etc I do that all the time.

But like, if I invite someone over to hang out for a few hours I expect them to take their shoes off tying the laces isn’t that complicated.

And if I am taking the day off and don’t really need to leave the house for any reason I won’t even touch my shoes I’m going to be barefoot or in slippers all God damn day.

Yeah that’s probably why it’s labelled as shoes on then I imagine and why Canada is labelled shoes off since any sort of foot covering is expected / not expected.

Quite possible

I grew up in the very tiny area of Canada which doesn’t get get snow so that actually didn’t even trigger in my mind lol

That there might probably the difference in the shoes on vs shoes off culture.

People who think it’s disrespectful to treat someone’s home as less important or people who think it’s disrespectful to treat the guest as less important.

To me someone’s home takes priority over the guest, as it’s just what I was raised by. A house is someone’s home and extremely important to them, whereas a guest is not required to be there it’s a privilege to be invited inside and not having shoes really isn’t a big deal to ask for us.

Canada is labelled as shoes off but we also have slippers.

Although not sure about Nigeria, are slippers and flip flops like expected to be worn or just available?

For me I have slippers which are worn often but it’s not expected that anyone inside wear them. Most people just wear socks if they come to visit. And myself I go barefoot unless my feet get cold then I grab the slippers.

How the hell did Canada become a shoes off country when it’s not only surrounded by shoes on but also both of its major contributing cultural influences (UK and France) are supposedly shoes on?

Where I live it is also unusual to be asked to take your shoes off because it’s just expected that you will since it’s disrespectful to just walk inside with your shoes on.

It’s more usual to be told to keep your shoes on if it’s something like a contractor coming inside to do some work.

I have no idea why anyone would want to wear shoes in the house.

It’s so constricting and unnecessary. Do y’all not clean your floors? Do you feel like your floors are gross and shouldn’t be touching your bare feet?

When you lay on the couch do you need to take your shoes off and then put them back on when you get up to go make a snack in the kitchen?

Makes zero sense to me

Looks like she is a Himalayan black bear which is a different species from the American black bear.

However there are a few white American black bears but they are typically only found on the western coast of British Columbia and maybe the Alaskan panhandle. Those ones are known as kermode bears or spirit bears and are a unique subspecies on the American black bears.

Eating the onion is when you believe satire is real, what is it called when you see real and believe it has to be satire?

Canada had an annual immigration rate of 1.4 million per year and the population is 40 million and that’s still with a limited non-open door policy, and it was way too much which Canada realized and started to restrict it, which would be the equivalent of America bringing in 14 million a year.

I absolutely wouldn’t be surprised if 100 mil wanted to immigrate to America over ten years if there was an open door policy.

Infrastructure isn’t tied directly to labour available.

There needs to be enough time to construct, enough money to invest, enough space to have proper city layouts etc.

You can’t just build a water treatment plant anywhere.

You also can only build housing and schools and hospitals so fast, an extra 100 million people in America in less than ten years would mean and extra 25% or everything needing to be built in less than ten years.

At the moment government doesn’t fund construction of housing, so that’s an entire system that needs to put in place before letting everyone in.

Plus a bunch of other issues that I can’t even think about I imagine.

Is there still a limit on how many people are accepted then?

I mean, I’m fairly liberal with immigration but I literally do not understand how it would even be possible to have completely open borders.

What happens when 100 million people try to immigrate in less than ten years? Where would they live? Where would their children go to school?

And then someone decides to name a random planet simply “Steve”

How much do you wanna bet Trump wouldn’t be so gung ho on Greenland if he saw this map? He probably thinks he is going to double the size of America.
