RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Oh, hon. It's too cold for that.
California. It's about 70°F (21°C) outdoors.
It's hot in LA, from what I hear.
I'm barefoot.
Ditto - it's 18°C here. That weird gap that I'm still shirtless, barefoot, but my cat is already looking for her blanket.
Im in Winnie the Pooh mode right now… just a shirt.
pics or it didn't happen
Trust me, my friend nobody wants that
I'm wearing house slippers. The floors are cold so plain socks are not comfortable enough for me.
Socks and flip-flops
I'm calling the cops
None! I'm barefoot in pajamas right now!
I hope you are in a warm climate.
Moccasins.
Are you Cherokee?
No - I have worn moccasins around the house, at least in the winter, since I was a kid and make-them-yourself kits were in fashion back in the '70s. No idea how many pairs I have had since then.
Went on a hike today, didn't get home between then and work. Now on the way home from work and looking forward to taking them off!
They are! Great for walking. For sitting around, I prefer something more loose though. I wouldn't normally wear them to work (even though that's more standing and only some sitting).
Converse All Star Hi Tops, red.
Loved mine, but hated that they broke after 2 years of daily use
Crocs and socks.
A pair of Lems Chillum shoes. They have a wide toe box and zero drop but still look and act like a real shoe compared to something more “barefoot”. My current daily driver.

I wear Sanuk Cozy Mats around the house. They’ve got that awesome heel that folds down so you can slip into them and wear them like slippers or pop them up and wear them like shoes. Probably the most comfortable footwear I’ve ever owned. Bought two pairs just in case they stop making them.
Sanuks are SO COMFY! I've definitely gone to the store, looked down, and realized I'm still wearing my slippers. I get through a pair o dice each summer.
They really are, I’ve totally worn mine outside by accident more than once! I had an old pair of suede slippers of theirs for more than a decade before they finally wore out. The stitching and materials are top-notch, it’s clear they care about quality.
Currently not wearing any with my feet on my living room table.
..but normally I wear these. I picked them up on the company tab (cow not included) for use at work a coupleofyears ago, but they turned out to be so damn comfortable and high quality that I use them for everything.
Protective composite toe that don't set off airport metal detectors, and they're ESD safe.
An old pair of Adidas slides that I inherited when my youngest stepson left them with us when he moved to live with his dad. They’re really work down and I need to replace them soon.
That's a story right there
None!
On my right foot I have the left shoe of a pair of Nike SB Dunk Low (Freddy Krueger edition) sneakers.
On my left foot I have the left one of a pair of Red Christian Louboutin Boots.
On my other foot I have the right one of a pair of counterfeit Ugg boots bought off Vinted for £4.99
I feel special.
Wait a minute
My favorites! Frye fuzzy-inside boots on a snow day!
Wool shearling slippers
House shoes. Been out in the slush and salt a lot, so I can't just wear my boots like i prefer.
I think my mother would teleport go my home if she thought I was wearing shoes in bed.
They might protect my toes from a kitten though. Maybe I'll just start wearing very thick socks!
Manitobah Mucklucks, makawa boot
Amazing. I'm getting more.
Malakalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas day
Whatever these are that I got from Walmart for $5:
What are thoooooooooose?!?
Jet black sneakers. I'm not goth or emo but was feeling all black today (light black tanktop, black plaid shirt which is around my waist, black jeans, and black sneakers, with only a white temple garment bra/panties) because I had to help someone test some cinema technology in a dark environment.
light black tanktop
Odd way to say grey
It's like a burnt or charcoal grey, so just dark enough to wonder if it's considered black yet.
Some icebug brand I think. They're fantastic for wintery conditions.
I'm wearing Converse lugged.. I like these shoes for the $20 I paid. They are very versatile, I use them kinda as boots. I hope they are on sale next year as I plan to buy 2 more pairs.

A pair of black BeLenka minimalist boots with wool lining. They’re very flexible and comfy but still keep my feet warm.
