I'm assuming its a reference to m'lady internet assholes adopting the fedora as their hat of choice and making it impossible to see someone wearing one without thinking less of them

Here's more designs by the guy who made the tentacle shoes, along with a close up of those shoes:
All hats (thanks for ruining this, you peacocking rapist dipshits)
wait, what???
It's one of the hallmarks and major advice cornerstones of the pick up artist red pill 'movement'. Fedora especially, but classic styled men's hats in general, got adopted as a major calling card.
They were hard to pull off before, and it is 110% not worth it to me now.

holy crap, I knew about the fedora but for crying out loud
stop ruining one of the two accessories we have, shitlords
Polo shirts for me are for days when I'm not sure if I'll have to go visit a client, so I need slightly more professional than jeans and a tee but I'm too lazy for a buttonup.
Thanks! I like them too, but they are slightly narrower than I thought when I ordered them.
I gotta get used the the new script, I've had it since last summer but haven't gotten new glasses with it 'til just now also went with the blue light treatment and anti glare stuff so that's weird too.

Yeah getting new lenses, even if the prescription doesn't change, always takes a bit of an adjustment.
Flip-flops are my default footwear in the summer. Anything else is too hot (are you guys talking about being in air conditioned cars and offices for the summer? Because how on earth do you wear long sleeves, pants and shoes in 85+ degree heat?). Other "open" footwear doesn't stay on my foot or is ill-fitting. I can't wear flats, I can't wear heels, I can't wear sandals unless they have some kind of stretchy or hyper-adjustable straps. I have narrow feet and narrow heels. I'm a short person and wearing sneakers with shorts looks weird as hell on me.
Most bars/restaurants here don't care about your footwear. If I have plans to go out to a place that actually cares at all about what's on my feet, then my entire outfit is going to be different because this means that the place is relatively upper tier. Places that care about flip-flops and sandals around here generally are more expensive and are planned outings, anyway.
I don't wear flip-flops in the summer much since I moved up north to VA. When I was in college, though, I was in them from April to October, basically.
Living up here is making me soft. It was only 85 the other day and the thought that maybe I should have worn shorts crossed my mind.

Wear these when you are on the beach or backpacking or trekking somewhere hot where there aren't poisonous things to step on.
Or like to pool parties
I mean hell, wear them wherever you want, you do you.
But you won't be able to come into some bars and restaurants and that's a bummer.
Okay but I care way more about being comfortable than I do about dumb arbitrary rules so if I'm not allowed to go somewhere because of how I'm dressed, that's their loss, not mine. I'll just go to a bar that doesn't suck.
I understand the sentiment here, and that's all well and good when you're going out alone. But what happens a lot to me, especially in cities where there are upscale places with dresscodes, is this:
We all plan to go in a group to a known, upscale establishment.
Everyone arrives at the establishment.
One person rolls up in flip flops.
So what do you do at that point? It's rude to expect the entire party to rearrange their planned evening because you couldn't bring yourself to wear loafers.
I'm not digging in to the classist or exclusionary angles of argument here, although those do exist. The fact is, these aren't bars that suck, they're really good bars or restaurants that happen to have a dresscode (whether you're fine with that or not). It's not so uncommon in downtown areas of major cities that it couldn't be predicted, and one person refusing to snazzy up a bit is really frustrating for the rest of the party.

Personally I'd leave the individual behind and encourage the group to stick with the venue.
I'm all about thongs/flipflops/jandals/scuffs/sandals year round, unless I'm specifically going out to somewhere that might have a dress code. If I don't know the dress code, I default to dressing up and looking nice(ish) rather than risking being that guy.

This seems like it's not a shoe-wear issue at all.
It's a "this person decided to be an idiot" issue.
personally I think establishments should be more welcoming of my showing off my v good looking feet, i mean i hear some people will pay for the privilege
but if there's plans for a dress code place and you're made aware of it then showing up without dressing to meet that code means you're a goose

The hoof shoes are a little much.

Don't listen to these naysayers. That said be prepared for this to happen if you wear them a lot (spoiled for GG's delicate sensibilities)
That ended my attempts to look like Cary Grant.
I know I need to shave.
Those are nice frames.
Where do I find long sleeve button down shirts that are meant to be worn untucked?
I gotta get used the the new script, I've had it since last summer but haven't gotten new glasses with it 'til just now also went with the blue light treatment and anti glare stuff so that's weird too.

sandals/birkenstocks are okay though
But yeah I'm in an AC most of the day so pants/long sleeve are preferable
Step 1. Put on socks and sneakers when your environment is very warm.
I dunno I've been out in socks and sneakers on days that are 90 plus degrees and 100% humidity.
Never felt like my feet were too hot.

But then my feet are a gnarled calloused nightmare and I rarely take off my socks...

Ever.
food tasted just as good in the corner though
I stayed at the Thompson in downtown Chicago last Halloween and I am certain I'd rather stay at a much cheaper hotel next time I travel. Barf.
But yeah it's always for a planned outing.
