I’m sure the more bespoke options can be made that way. I just checked the red wing site and it looks like their heritage collection come in at a max of size 14. That said, they generally run big (1-2 sizes) so it might be worth visiting a store and trying something on if you can.

Do you need sneakers, or would boots be an option? If so, that opens the door to Goodyear welted boots whose soles can be replaced when they’re worn out by a cobbler. They’re also generally comfortable (especially after being broken in). You can go from premade boots (e.g., redwing) to custom boots; costs escalate quickly the more bespoke they are, obviously.

There are some Goodyear welted sneakers, but boots are probably easier to find.

I know it’s probably not the most popular suggestion, but the goodyearwelt subreddit is a great place to look for recommendations and reviews and post questions.

Similarly, it’s a bit broken that you see the perception check failed notifications. Like, ok, I don’t know what is there, but I know something is there. In real life I’d have no idea and I’d go on about my day.

I don’t know, a lawn with just a small portion mowed and the rest standing tall? That shit would haunt me in my own afterlife.

It’s old.reddit.com or nothing for me.

I’m your huckleberry.

I honestly wonder if this has ever actually been the case.

Nope. Definitely just you.

Honestly I think this is better on the whole. Not if you were going to get your loans forgiven - I get that - but for today and tomorrow’s borrowers, this policy will be a positive thing and will still help current debt holders, too.

Wait, the name of the spacecraft was basically the Luna Lander? That’s amazing.

60 songs that explain the 90s.

Oh, but surely giving Russia that territory will ensure peace for our time! Now go home and get a nice, quiet sleep.

What issue would you rather have the article focus on? The fact that a 13 year old can’t get an abortion after being raped and now she has to deal with the repercussions of this act for. the. rest. of. her. life. is the natural outgrowth of these anti-abortion laws. Most people know rape is bad, and raping 13 year olds is really bad. Most people also probably don’t know or have exposure to 13-year-old moms whose children are the product of rape. Now, at least, we can read about them and maybe, just maybe, question whether this is really the path we want to go down (I say “we” but I can say for certain it’s not the path I want to go down).

Well, she was raped, so I don’t really know what her age has to do with it here (other than to make it maybe subjectively more bad than just regular old adult-on-adult rape, but I digress).

Cool, but you know who isn’t getting a free lunch now? Those millionaires who worked so hard for that money. What have those kids done to earn theirs?

/s, to be clear. I wish these cool places to live (e.g, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Michigan) weren’t so fucking cold. Why can’t there be a nice liberal southern state?

“Many organizations that attempted to force a return to the office have had to retract or change their plans because of employee pushback, and now, they don’t look strong,” says Kacher, the president of Career/Life Alliance Services. “A lot of executives have egg on their faces and they’re sad about that.”

Well, boo fucking hoo for them.

My kids would be fine - they hate mushrooms (and most vegetables) right now. Me, on the other hand? I’d be dead.

It’s like when some places in the US stopped testing for COVID - no tests = no positive results = no COVID. Flawless logic.

Surely this isn’t a serious question?
