If you walked through shit and dirt in your socks, sure.
But other than that? Do you really believe there is such a big difference between putting your feet wrapped in cloth on a seat and your ass wrapped in cloth? Do you think someone first puked on their feet, then put them on the seat and that’s how it got there? Do you really think the cushion is deep cleaned all day every day after the shift? Man, I got bad news for you.

It’s interesting to me that so many people assume by default that others have smelly feet. I guess we have all met the stereotypical sweaty guy at the local nerd convention. But in general, if your body produces a notable bad smell when you are not exercising and despite basic hygiene, there is probably something wrong.

And neither can it be improved by kneecaps being overly twisted and pressed against the front seat all the time. Shifting position to avoid one-sided stress on the joints is the key.

Mein Führer …
… the Zugführer has not kicked the dude off the train.
Also, I hope you keep your well aged salami and cheese sandwich in your Tupperware. And don’t you dare sit next to me with your cloth smelling like an ashtray because you “had to” smoke one more before the arrives.

Yeah, I should probably just cut my legs by like 20 centimetres, so I fit the body model the designers used. Shave off some width on the shoulders to so I can have more arm space as well.

TBF, I keep the socks on, but other than that: If no one else needs the space or sits next to me? Why not?
I’m a big guy, so anytime I use public transport either my back hurts because the top edge of the back rest pushes into my lower back, my knees hurt because the space between seat rows are too small or both at the same time. So let me at least stretch my legs when it doesn’t inconvenience anyone. Shoes off, socks on.
To anyone saying “Booooh! Unhygienic!”: I dare you to tap hard on the cushions a couple of times. For even more shock effect, do it when you are the first passenger of the day.
- Comment on If landlords didn’t exist anymore, how would shared flats work? 1 week ago:
One solution is community housing where the local government is the landlord and by extend the people in the area.
Another is housing cooperatives, which are groups of people pooling their money to build and operate housing.

- Comment on Why did Yoon lift martial law if he had the support of the military high command? 2 weeks ago:
Imho no. Apparently (I have not dealt with South Korean politics before this) he was quite unpopular to beginn with. Blatantly disregarding the elected parlament would have destroyed any resemblance of a “lawful” takeover and might have provoked protest from all parts of society.
Also afaik saying he lifted martial law after the assembly vote is wrong in the sense that martial law was lifted by the assembly already. Pressing on would have put him in breach of the constitution. Of course he probably couldn’t care less but keeping the appearance of still being a democracy is import. Most autocracy’s nowadays work this way. People get to choose but the guy on top gets to pick the options.

There is an ever so slight difference between the appeal of jumping off a building, slitting your wrists, overdosing on some self-made drug cocktail, … and having a professional inject you a syringe of carefully dosed substances which will make you comfortable drift off into the eternal void. Not just for the patient, but also everyone around them. In the past, I had to comfort a friend who was severely traumatised after a patient of hers jumped out of the hospital’s window after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis.

That’s not what was written:
- People might feel pressured to kill themselves.
- And what is wrong with that?
That is exactly the opposite of giving people the option to choose. It’s pushing them into a given direction.
And just for the record: I watched my Great grandma wither away in a senior home while asking to be let go. I would have gladly given her peace. But it has to be the person’s own choice. Free from others influence and pressure.

You shouldn’t draw conclusions about others from yourself.
Some people might still value what they have. And who are you to tell another what others should do with their live?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Overall yes, but that pressure might be magnitudes greater when there is “an easy way out”.

The sick and elderly may feel pressure to not be a burden to others.

- Comment on are my eating habits preparing to work out stupid? 4 weeks ago:
Dieting doesn’t necessarily mean feeling hungry all the time. Yes, for some it might feel that way, because they are used to eating large quantities unnecessarily. But in general, dieting for most people means eating better: Less processed, sugary foods and more vegetables and wholegrain products. These tend to have fewer calories but more volume, so eating the same amount in terms of volume helps lose weight already.
Sometimes, after a long hard workday I feel so hungry I eat a lot for dinner
Binge-eating tends to be a lot more problematic. I’m not a nutritionist, so I can’t help you at this point, but you should put some research into preparing a meal plan that provides your body everything it needs.
Do you have a small breakfast before starting your work out in the morning before going to work?
That entirely depends on you. Some people prefer some light breakfast in the morning, others don’t eat anything at all. For myself, I can hardly get going without eating something in the morning. At the same time, I notice my energy level highly depends on what it is that I eat. I.e. toast with some sugary spread on top, sometimes even upsets my stomach. My regular oatmeal with nuts and fresh fruits takes some time to prepare, but it is a lot healthier.

That’s alright as long as I can use the Cyclops instead.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 - Teaser Trailer 1 month ago:
I really hope it’s going to be closer to the original than Below Zero.
I liked Below Zero but it wasn’t able to instill the same feeling of dread and anxiety that Subnautica could. Below Zero felt a lot more “child-friendly”.
And for the love of god: Get that Sea Truck out of my sights. I want my Cyclops back!
- Comment on (EVE Online, OC) If you understand even 1% of this video, it may be time to touch some grass 2 months ago:
Tbf, it really started to go downhill, when they got bought up.
I am generally in favor of a subscription model as opposed to the whole loot box crap, cause you know beforehand what you get and what it costs. Yes, it creates some FOMO, but this was partly balanced out by the passive skill training system.
Its just too expel sive to be fun.
I have a reoccurring “nightmare” in which I try to get back into EVE, log in, notice I logged out in a high value ship in the middle of null sec and struggle with the overview. Had a lot of fun playing for a couple of years, though.

Now hold my beer for a second, English is just my second language, but “built” is past tense for “build”, isn’t it?
- They build a trailer filled with AI → Present tense, i.e. they are doing it right now
- They built a trailer filled with AI → Past tense, i.e. the trailer is finished.
