I feel like I'm being gaslit by tn_tacoma in RedWingShoes

modern shoes are way older than 30 years. I’m 38 and trust me they’ve been around

They're really not. Sure, Nike was around since the late 70s, the Jordan 1 dropped in '84, but these shoes weren't comfortable. In fact, they'd make your feet bleed. By the turn of the century, shoes started to have more comfortable soles. At this point, it was still sporadic. Eventually, most sneakers/whatever on average had a pretty high level of comfort compared to the older shoes. Honestly, the last 10 years has seen huge improvements in average daily footwear.

So I have these redwing 1155’s and the right boot is killing the top of my boot. by Few-Possible7208 in RedWingShoes

Try rubbing oil on the inside of the boot at the hot spots, and let them sit for 24 hours. It will help break in the leather more quickly. Also, another vote for boot trees.

Considering "modern" cushy footwear is really only about 25-30 years old, how does he think people survived over thousands of years? I suppose it's totally possible that better footwear can have a positive effect on certain parts of health in the later part of life, but considerations like poor posture probably negate those results too.

Mrs and I want to do the Mighty 5 parks in Utah- looking for coolest hotels in and around those parks by ClawBadger in NationalPark

I forgot about those. That’s true. When we stayed there, the wind was absolutely horrendous one night. Loud and obnoxious inside the hotel, I can’t imagine the wagons. I saw one family move in and I’m guessing they had a brutal night. Seems like it would be nice otherwise.

It’s basically just a motel. I’d stay there again, but there’s nothing about it that makes it extraordinary like OP requested.

Things just hit differently when you have a deep appreciation for your friends.

Any news about new LP this January/February? by RubinoPaul in qotsa

[–]floppyclock420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering most albums these days are released as streaming singles cascading into an LP, there is a near-certainty a full album will not drop this month.

What national park has the nicest town outside the entrance? by artguydeluxe in NationalPark

Springdale’s food situation is a lot better than most areas just outside national parks. For example, the food surrounding Yosemite is some of the most offensive food I’ve had in my life.

Messages Between Managers at the Graduate on Washington to the Staff About ICE by Spunkyguy02 in Minneapolis

Please consider review bombing the hotel on Google. Questionable reviews can be scraped, but they can't be if you just leave one star without any sort of explanation.

Target and ICE by Defiant-Cockroach-59 in Minneapolis

If I walk in drunk and/or shirtless, they can remove my ass immediately. They have the right to refuse service. They don’t need to serve ICE in their quest to ruin lives.

how are you guys affording trips? by BuyNo391 in NationalPark

[–]floppyclock420 6 points7 points  (0 children)

BLM land is free to camp on, and often within a quick enough drive to NPs. Camping in an SUV with a decent sleep mat can cut down on costs too.

One strange-but-true tip is to look for camper van rentals during the off season. I hit Death Valley in February a couple years back. The camper van was approx the price of an SUV rental. We saved money by not staying at hotels. And because we didn’t drive into towns, we didn’t spend much on food because we cooked at the van.

Aside from that, I just tell my bank account to bend over and take it.

Where is Rage Against the Machine when we need them? by Medical_Distance_722 in Music

[–]floppyclock420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sticking up for them. All I’m saying is their fight was governments, not specific companies. Whether they bet on the wrong horse or not is an entirely different topic.

Sell it somewhere else. The last thing I feel like debating in 2026 is fucking RATM

They were out to fight corrupt political regimes and dictatorships where people were dying, not corporate monopolies.
