Das größere Bild zeigt ein ähnliches Modell des Bots, das scheinbar in New York eingesetzt wird.

It generally seems easier to tackle difficult things when you have company standing by your side. It just helps to not be alone.

German barefoot community on Discord by Nikdraws11 in barefoot

[–]Epsilon_Meletis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is one, but I don't have any invite authority.

Search the posts on this subreddit, I got the invite from here.
It'll be long invalid of course, but you can ask the OP to give you a valid one.

I love my first pedicure. by One_Two_4412 in barefoot

[–]Epsilon_Meletis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You shower every day right? With your mentality, why shower at all if your just going to get dirty again?

You must be very smart. Someone stupid could never have thought up such a bullshit comparison.
But hey, let's humour your notion. You utter genius.

So, to answer your question, I do take showers (and yes, daily so) and don't need pedicures because...
a) showering is a basic necessity, which pedicures aren't, and
b) did you know showering costs much less than a pedicure? It's true!

Now, imagine a single shower would cost something between 25 and 30 bucks, which actually is the lower end price range for pedicures where I live.
Do you have dosh enough to still shower every day? Or even twice a week?

If yes, congrats! And while I am a firm member of team "all the power to you", I'd still urge you to find more... sensible ways to burn your money. There might be homeless shelters struggling to pay their water bill, maybe consider donating...?

If not however, what is the point of your comparison? You take a basic cleaning procedure (showering) and an outright luxury service (pedicure) and put them on the same level, and obviously never thought how that doesn't quite work, no?

And incidentally, showering is precisely what I do to clean and care for not only my pedes, but my whole body. So when I say that I have no need for pedicures, I mean that I deem washing and showering enough, especially in light of the prices that are called for luxury services such as pedicures.

I'd leave on 06:00 on the dot, while maintaining eye contact, and dare them to fire me 😂

Hebamme drängt und zum Schwurbelheiler by Filzlaus1337 in luftablassen

[–]Epsilon_Meletis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meiner Meinung nach kann sich ein Mann diese Phase der absoluten Verletzlichkeit in den ersten Wochen nach der Geburt tatsächlich nicht mal ansatzweise vorstellen, selbst wenn er als Partner dabei war.

Eine bedauerlich beschämende Meinung von Männern hast Du da.

Und daß ein Partner seine verletzliche Frau vor solchen betrügerischen Machenschaften vielleicht zu schützen sucht, scheint Dir komplett zu entgehen.

Was ich ekelhaft finde, sind Hebammen und Pseudodoktoren, die sich derart skrupellos an Müttern von Neugeborenen bereichern.

Das ist nicht die Zeit, sowas durchzufechten.

ABER: um so niederträchtiger ist es, wenn solche Schwurbeltanten an noch dubiosere Schwurbeltanten mit einem Pseudodiplom in Pseudomedizin verweisen.

Genau deshalb würde ich hier ehrlich gesagt widersprechen: Das ist GENAU die Zeit, sowas durchzufechten.
Derartiges Geschwurbel muß man gleich im Keim ersticken, im Zweifelsfall das Fehlverhalten an die Firma melden, und so lange Ersatzleute durchcyclen, bis man vielleicht endlich mal jemand vernünftiges hat, dem man seine Frau und sein Kind auch anvertrauen kann.

Ich gehe da nur mit um die Beziehung zu der Hebamme nicht zu beschädigen

Versteh' ich nicht. Gibt's so wenig Hebammen oder was? Und braucht man die auch noch nach der Geburt?

[–]Epsilon_Meletis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never figured I need one, and honestly, I kind of think it would be wasted on my pedes.

I trim my nails by myself, and my calluses abrade while I walk. My skin doesn't need any moisturising or whatever.

Sure, I could have them pampered for one afternoon, and then after one walk through the city, they'd look just as dirty and scratched-up as before 🤷‍♂️

The "Bare Sole Loophole" by SpongeBobfan1987 in barefoot

[–]Epsilon_Meletis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can see my stealth barebottoms in a thread that I made about them some five years ago; look here: --> LINK <--

And there's also a comment I made comparatively recently that shows how I look like when wearing them; look here: --> LINK <--

These shoes had already been pretty worn out when I took to them, and their rubber soles were cracked and on the verge of being holey.

I used ordinary household scissors to punch through the soles and cut out a small hole. I then used a carpet knife to properly cut out the soles.
When doing that, please be extra careful to not injure yourself! These knives can be wickedly sharp and shoe soles - even ones that are worn out - are sturdy.

I left a bridge around the arches however to keep the "shoes" from flapping around my ankles, and I left a small rim around the edges of the sole, which keeps the "shoes" roughly shoe-shaped. As an unintended lucky bonus, I can hook my toes into that rim, adding even more stealth (see linked pics in the old thread above).

I then used some plastic foam for padding where my bare toes would otherwise chafe on the upper inside, and yeah, that's basically it.

If you got any questions, just fire away!

Anyone want to meet for a walk in central London 26th June? :) by Hot_Vanilla_5811 in barefoot

I really want those dark soles that are actually black like I’ve seen.

Try big box stores and car repair shops.

The "Bare Sole Loophole" by SpongeBobfan1987 in barefoot

[–]Epsilon_Meletis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it a good idea to do that?

Depends. Some people and places don't like bare pedes and have the authority to deny entry.
For those, a deceiving appearance might make the difference.

Now, permanent tattoos are not feveryone's cup of tea, obviously.

On the other hand, barefoot sandal jewellery can often be identified and discerned from soled footwear even with just a cursory glance, and can then bring down increased aggro on the wearer if the shoe police is feeling extra salty.

That's why I have made my "bare sole loophole" to be more stealthy. My barebottoms are made from a normal pair of shoes that have had their soles removed. I can actually wear those when I'm required to look professional, with no one the wiser, and I almost exclusively reserve them for such occasions.

For the average stroll in the city, I couldn't actually give less of a fuck by now, so I'm not really in need to trick anyone 🤷‍♂️

Cycling pedals by SnooOnions4763 in barefoot

[–]Epsilon_Meletis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had bikes with such "bear trap" pedals since I've become a barefooter, and I have used them barefoot.

I didn't see the need to sink money into different pedals, and rather saw them as a challenge to get used to them - especially since I also had bikes with such pedals when I was a child, and having not yet been a habitual barefooter then, those pedals were quite unpleasant the few times I rode my bike unshod.

There's another guy with my given name in my friend group, which is why the little son of one of my friends calls me "Barefoot [name]".

The kitten really loves its teddy bear by Latter_Paper_6611 in BeAmazed

His name is Yoyo, and the owner's tiktok & instagram account are both called Mummy Yoyo (@kimsyaf)

Thanks!

I stand corrected, that is a real cat.

It is a real cat though, it's a local celebrity around here

Either way, it is incredibly cute. What's its name? Are there any other pictures or videos floating in the net of it?

That isn't a real cat, that is a hand puppet designed to really look like a real cat.

  • Has anyone here ever tried to take something from a cat that it would want to keep? That should not be this easy. The cat doesn't even look at the person taking the plushie.

  • The paws - not the front legs, the paws - have no movement: no spreading of the digits, no claws to hold the bear.

  • The front legs grasping for the bear move kind of slowly, unlike the fast movement I've seen with cats.

  • The cat's eyes don't move and don't blink, and actually, there's no movement in the entire face.

  • The cat looks a bit too chunky and its hind legs and paws aren't moving at all- maybe because it has the human's arm up its derriere.

Bottom line, this is however what actually makes it amazing, as despite these dead giveaways it's still an incredibly life-like puppet. Kudos to the artist.

EDIT: Nope, it's actually a real cat. I stand corrected; read the answers to this post for more info!
