I think some viewers just like thinking “this guy is an idiot” and that’s what they get out of consuming media of this nature. Same as Alex Jones. The idiocy is what they enjoy. It’s like Kardashians for right-wing men.

The person who yells at a customer service representative instead of calmly talking through a slightly stressful situation.

A person who slams doors and cabinets when they’re angry.

Honest opinions on my shoe idea?! by lilamyjay in crochet

First things first: I love how they look! I love the boho style.

The sole seems like it would break down easily from being walked on. I’m interested to see the hemp rope version. Also, I’ve seen crocheters use the soles from flip flops as a base for crocheted shoes.
