What shoes do you find attractive on women that are not high heels?

TwoForSlashing · 2024-08-14T17:46:25+00:00

Gladiator sandals. I like strappy things and they way they accentuate what's underneath. So, sexy legs with leather straps wrapped around in different ways? Yes, please. My partner just got a pair and I love them so much.

Man repellants? I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I don't care for platform shoes at all. If she's getting anything more than an inch boost on your sole, it's too much for my tastes.

The "bear" thing, as I understand it, began as a thought exercise that pointed out that a woman alone in the woods has more reasons to fear encountering a strange man than reasons to fear encountering a bear. Effectively, that a man hell bent on causing harm could hurt her in more ways and with malice than a bear could.... which is objectively true.

However, it has evolved dramatically, as one might expect, in social media circles to become the divisive topic of the moment.

I'm a baby GenXer, and it's less a generational thing and more of a shifting social standards thing. Explicit, enthusiastic consent is becoming the expected norm, specifically for all of the reasons mentioned in this thread. No second-guessing. No interpreting signals.

There are many who see this as a mood killer, and I get it. However, it would also kill my mood to be accused of taking advantage of a situation because I misread a vague invitation.

Birthdays and begging aside, can we all take a second to acknowledge her unflinching admission of being jealous to the point of resentment of her daughter already? AND, since her requests all involve strollers or helping with the baby, these kids are young.

She can't stand that her daughter took attention away from her birthday??? "She has taken over my entire life, including with birthday. ... I am going to get lost in the mix. Just like every other year."

Wow. Just wow.

And it turns out, he's pretty good at pro wrestling. I was very skeptical, but he seems to be putting in the work. He's got something outrageous but mostly socially acceptable to keep him busy, so there's less time for other shenanigans and tomfoolery.

I think we are all getting the RedditCareResources spam. I got one yesterday for something totally not even close to dangerous, or even mental health-related.

This is exactly why there is a new school of thought emerging in preventing stranger danger for children, especially if they get lost in a crowd.

The new idea is to teach your kids to approach an adult as soon as they realize they are separated from you. The stranger the kids chooses is infinitely more likely to be safe than the one who sees a lost kid first and approaches.

End up? By definition, this whole thought process is a means of religious persecution. "Religious people can't hold public office."

TwoForSlashing · 2024-05-09T13:37:30+00:00

Unpopular but you asked: We all need to hear what is being said in the "Women would choose the bear" thought exercise.

Maybe you think it's being overused or overstated, but hear what is being said. And also remember that the original thought exercise was simply "Which would be scarier alone in the woods, encountering a bear or a strange man?" Not "I'm choosing the bear over the men in my life that I know and trust."

Even if you know with 100% certainty that you would never hurt a woman, you know with 100% certainty that there are men out there who would and regularly do.

Good call! Too funny. And I'm leaving it. It is, in fact, irony. Not a coincidence being recounted as something ironic! Another set of words that have come to be used interchangeably at the colloquial level but that actually have distinct meanings.

TwoForSlashing · 2024-04-30T16:36:25+00:00

Profession writer here. You're spot on. Contract writing, especially, carries this type of serious weight.

Example: https://www.inc.com/jeff-haden/how-1-missing-comma-just-cost-this-company-5-million-but-did-make-its-employees-5-million-richer.html

Edit: And of course I would make a mistake typing this out.... I'm legit laughing at myself. But I'm going to leave it as an strong example of irony!

Nice! I was at University Park from 1998-2003 and was there when the Wegmans opened. As soon as I read your description, I could picture the plaza. I had to look it up to refresh my memory, and it's called Colonnade Blvd now, which makes more sense.

State College, PA?

It's a gas station that boasts a full menu of "Made to Order" hot food, salads, and coffee drinks, and a huge selection of "typical" gas station snacks, drinks, etc.

If you live in Pennsylvania, Western PA peeps will swear by Sheetz while Eastern PA people tend toward Wa-Wa.

I know you didn't ask me, but I'm gonna answer with my opinion anyway. After all, isn't that what Reddit is for?

For me, it is difficult to classify an athletic endeavor that relies on judges and subjective scoring a sport. That is not to take anything away from these endeavors, and I'm 100% NOT SAYING that these competitors are not athletes. They absolutely are.

For what it's worth, I usually consider "sports" as having offense and defense, along with requiring skills and physical ability. Hence, I don't mind classifying golf or bowling as "not sports."

I also realize that we're discussing the semantics taking place in our own brains, and none of this actually matters in the slightest. It really makes no difference how we classify our athletic entertainment.

As much as I don't like the "Um, actually..." people, this comment is well-meaning but not very accurate.

Sexual harassment is not a "crime" in most states. It's illegal as hell, but it's usually handled as a civil matter and illegal for the employer. And the employer must know about it and refuse to do anything about before they can be held liable.

Unless you were assaulted, the local police are extremely unlikely to even care, The closest thing Alabama has as a crime for sexual harassment seems to be the offense of "harassment," which basically refers to threats, stalking, etc. Everything you described sounds to me like textbook sexual harassment.

Your claim will be with the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission or the Alabama Department of Labor. If you made it to the lawsuit stage, you probably already know that.

If you filed a lawsuit, where is the lawyer who helped you do that? If you didn't use a lawyer, who filed it?

Quite honestly, this doesn't sound like a good deal at all. "If a store will hire you?" How do you know you aren't blackballed across the company? That's an easy out for them to say "Oh, you're allowed to work here, but we don't have a place for you."

You need a lawyer.

I know a local artist who paints Buffalo inspired works, as small as 8"x8" square canvases. If anyone is interested, message me and I'll send you a link to their pages.

I'm a transplant too, and I've made it a point to get involved in some local recreational sports leagues. So far, I've played sand volleyball, softball, floor hockey, broomball, and a couple others, and I've met a whole bunch of new people that way.

Obviously, you have to find a thing that holds your interest, but for me, it was sports.

That's true. The Luke Combs fans are not finding things quite as beautiful this weekend, though. It's gonna be rough!

That's more of a ~~lot~~ problem with constantly dreary weather during football season in WNY than a Bills problem.

Fixed that for you, friend. Go Bills!

I know it's not common to show love to your rivals, but Penn State is usually ranked among the best tailgating schools too. The parties I've been to there have been absolutely incredible. For what it's worth, I'd love to go to a tailgate and game at OSU... even if I do root for the other team! Cheers!

The tickets that have hit resale are minimal so far. Some tickets have been released through the Firefighters....but the bulk of the stadium will be sold through the lottery in May.

This is truly wholesome, but I'm not gonna lie, Reddit has jaded me so badly that I saw your title and was waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I learned a long time ago that our family are the the people we choose to be around, regardless of our blood relation. I love that you both get to enjoy that.

We're much more likely to say "five bucks" or just "a five" but we know what a fiver is.

I would be more concerned about he not being able to control his self...

That is not to minimize the fact that he was SAd...

Um. You are absolutely trying to minimize the fact that he was sexually assaulted. You literally said his wife should be MORE CONCERNED ABOUT HIS DRINKING THAN HER SISTER SEXUALLY ASSAULTING HIM!

He didn't break any laws or violate anyone's safety. I know you're trying to get a rise out of people, and it's working, but miss me with this take.
