  • 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.




  • 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.




  • 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.

    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.

    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?
