sorry bro but if your girl is wearing her dirty shoes in your bed, you need to beat her until she learns some sense. violence is the only thing barn-raised simpletons understand.

Time stamped re: Yasuke question. Morgoth



tl;dw: retainer, probably treated like shit, seems to have escaped in the chaos when his lord was killed - disappeared, most people in Japan don't know anything about him and couldn't give a shit.

Apparently, there was almost a riot when he came to Japan because nobody believed anyone could be so black. To make him into a figure that walks around Japanese villages is an impossible historical concept, for most Japanese at the time, it would be like an alien just walking past your house.

It's only Americans who wear their street shoes in their homes, Europeans don't do this.
italian here. after going through a couple door mats (usually one belonging to the whole building, one to your door), we wear shoes everywhere. even on moquette. often on parquet too. because despite all your efforts, floor *is dirty*. people who ask to take your shoes off before coming in are usually those who wash their floor least often.
and that's not just the floor, every surface gets dirty. for this reason we use every kind of tablecloth, towel and napkin when we eat, even in the kitchen where everything gets cleaned multiple times every day.
it's also a matter of behaving: the rite of taking off shoes is very personal and intimate, reserved for the end of the day when you're tired and don't want to respect etiquette anymore, because feet stink and you're required to keep your stench for yourself. the moment you're not wearing shoes you're bringing *your* filth in my house.

But the reason your feet stinks is because you wear shoes all the time.

I never heard about this, I am having a mild cultural shock, kind of like when I heard that some arab countries wipe their ass with their hands.

Haven't you heard of slippers? Or flip-flops? Nobody is talking about walking barefoot.
Anyway how does this work? Let's say you took a shower, and what? You put on the shoes?
