When i bought more expensive shoes, I felt like it was just a fancier store markup for basically the same shoe. That's why it's useful to know good brands, thank you! It's not at all worth it to buy something that's more expensive just assuming it'll be better.

$40-80 is what I usually pay. Over that has given me the same experience as this range, but I really don't know brands.

 

My local discount store doesn't have my size in work shoes right now (US 7.5 women's, 5.5 men's) and I was wondering where people buy them online.

The discount ones usually last me 2-3 years, and the mid range ones were the same. Super expensive and high quality might last longer, but I can't really afford them tbh. The absolute cheapest I got had the soles fall off while walking on a hot roof, so some known quality would be nice.

I'd prefer steel over composite, because the composite is the failure point this time. With steel it was always something else.

I'll probably end up picking up a new pair when I have more reasons to travel to a different store, but it doesn't hurt to hear people's suggestions. They can be boots or sneakers. I just want the right size.

I like the idea of low cost ways to prevent heat from getting in, but...

The problem is that moderators here and on reddit (i believe?) are volunteers, so they are going to have personal limits on what they'll accept. And if they can't have those, they won't do it. Someone else will have to volunteer for an unpaid position that can take up lots of their precious time on this earth.

Start a mod fund and pay people, is my suggestion. The only rewards at the moment for moderating are, like, a smoothly running community. Tiny, mostly irrelevant power. Being a big fish in a small pond. Personal satisfaction? You can get that being treasurer at your local beading club, but there you get to mess around with beads. I dunno.

As for making different platforms, there also has to be someone willing to do that work. Mostly thankless, and you'll always get it wrong somehow. I'm amazed anyone bothers.

I'm not really confused by them commissioning music. I've seen like, murals and so on in airports. I also like the idea of using recordings of background noise to make a track. It's the idea of playing ambient airport noises in an airport that confuses me. But that's art, I suppose. Something to think about. I don't think me being confused by the thought process here - knowing very little about the theory being ambient music - is a sign of the death of an empire. There's plenty of those around.

All items are clothes if you're imaginative enough?

 

28% of Americans are now religiously unaffiliated. A new study from Pew Research looks at how atheists, agnostics and those whose religion is "nothing in particular" view God, religion and morality.

Not a new article, but I find it reassuring sometimes knowing how many people identity as not having a religion.

A (non) rom-com about two aromantic-asexual coworkers who, after an accidental meet-cute outside of work, mistakenly believe the other is in love with them. Updates on Fridays!

A very adorable comic about two people uninterested in romance who would be great friends if they realized the other party is also uninterested in romance. It's currently on hiatus, but there's enough there that I enjoyed the read.

Chief Kachindamoto has broken up 850 child marriages in three years, and banned the sexual initiations of young girls.

Old article, but a very cool lady I admire and want to highlight.
