SCANDINAVIAN UPRISING

Listen up c**ks**kers,
Sandals w/ socks are a good thing. I don’t care if they look Scandinavian or not. They’re COMFORTABLE. They have a remarkable ability to regulate body temperature. If you get too hot, normally your feet will sweat first. Sweat evaporates, and thus achieves the natural goal of cooling the part that is evaporated from. If you get too cold, the socks are protecting against the cold.
It really is a better balance against hot & cold than is achieved with shoes, or sandals w/o socks. And let us face a painful reality here... Xela has varying temperatures, wetness, humidity, etc. Let us please acknowledge at least where we’re at, it’s a beautiful place for more reasons than the scenery, but its climate is wildly fluctuable.
Have you ever worn sandals w/o socks in a place like Tecun? Yup, it can get really cold. Shoes maintain the sweat within.
Furthermore, you’re all douchebags for following an idea that is not yours. Where did this idea come from? Can you answer that? Aesthetics is not an acceptable answer. If it was, you’d have brought up ankle socks with shorts beforehand. So why?
I’ll tell you why. You all follow fashions that are not your own. You wear uncomfortable clothes to a degree b/c they suit your fashions of fashion.
I do not (wear those uncomfortable clothings). I need no umbrellas for my own fashions.
Benjamin Adam Phillips

Oh, good lordy. The only thing sadder than a young man wearing socks with sandals would have to be him feeling the need to justify it. Be free, deary - wear what you like … just don’t expect us to be happy about it. - FP
