Need new shoes, gentle, comfy, cushioned shoes/slippers! It's gotten bad- for over a year we've been living in a unit that has polished concrete floors- rugs and mats everywhere. But, can't endure any more, I wake up in the mornings with throbbing feet, I've tried a lot to make it manageable but I obviously just need a new pair shoes/slippers to wear around the house during mornings and nights, something with good cushioning- in an ideal world slip on shoes- but idc, just want out of pain, maybe you think inserts are the answer?? Offer anything that's worked for you and yours- I'll be so grateful! As always, thanks comrades!

Edit: Thank you everyone soooo much! My first move is buying a pair of crocks for around the house, I found a drug store nearby that has the dr.scolls insole machine. And long term will think about a pair of Altra's and look for sales(they are not cheap). Thank you hexbears!!

Hello Comrades, I am overwhelmed! have to get a new laptop for work stuff. And everything is horribly riddled with AI and unwanted features and planned obsolescence, etc. I am feeling so old and lost; and stuck with paralysis! Can someone help me with just a simple recommendation on a laptop or laptop series or something? Need: video calling, decent battery life. Wants: could play ~~RDR2~~ (I realize now this ask is too much- the purchase will be a write off so, I was being greedy and trying to treat myself)or some equivalent. This felt so simple 10 years ago! Stupid Crapitalism grumbling old man noises

Edit: Wow, thanks so much, this is so helpful! ~~Guess, I'm realizing I'm gonna need to start on windows and hopefully switch over to Linux next year(going make time to start a 30 day intro mid Jan). And, looking at Thinkpad T series. All the new ones have MD ryzen ai pro processors- does anyone have thoughts on these??? (I'm really wary of ai on the computer because I work with HIPPA compliant stuff, so I just generally want to avoid it because if it isn't managed right its a potential violation.)~~

Update 11 days later: I went with a ThinkPad T14 Gen 6 Intel with Ubuntu preinstalled, a ThinkVision monitor and a Thunderbolt docking station. I am beyond pleased, the laptop is realistically the most impressive piece of hardware I've personally owned. The docking station and monitor turn it into an all in one super versatile set up. Very lightweight compact powerful laptop. Easy to connect comfortable desktop, and can link with other equipment. Getting away from the alphabet- microsoft/google/apple has always been interesting but now feels like both a moral and practical imperative, so thanks to your encouragement I made the jump! Thinkpad models coming with linux options pre installed- making it easy. With Ubuntu, its familiar to navigate the device while I learn, and it also naturally encourages me to learn cause its different. Thank you everyone so much!! Hope this helps someone else jump to linux!

Evey where online seems to be astroturfed, just companies pumping themselves up, all the review sites I've found so far, if i dig deep, are also bought and sold. And, it seems like the industry has grown into further and further ways of obfuscating how terrible they are making their products now- eg. cutting down on the literal stitches in the side walls, so it doesn't last 5 years.

JFC! I just need a bed! I want to get it offline, cause in person(my town is small and dont even think we have a sales center) but they are all commission based, just used car salesman trying to take as much money as possible. Does anyone have any recommendations? My partner and I aren't rich but we are moving in together for first time(gleeful noises!), and both our beds already suck. Leaning toward a spring and foam situation, probably cant spend more that 1k, and are hoping for a king so theres plenty of wiggle room for both of us, and we dont end up having sleep problems with each other. Any help would be greatly appreciated- God I hate capitalism, literally ruins the entire earth and now wont even let me sleep. Thanks comrades,

As per title, looking for a online copy of 'A fighting dream: the political writings of Claudia Jones'. If any comrades have one available, would greatly appreciate!

My go to site got shut down recently(tragic), anyone have any suggestions for TV/movie streaming? Thanks in advance, comrades!! p.s. love my trans comrades!

As title says, looking to read this bad boy, having trouble finding any pdf's or free copies at normal sites I would look. Any help, would be greatly appreciated!

As title says, past two years I didn't submit my taxes- Was very emotionally overwhelmed, essentially had a sibling who was dying, it was incredibly stressful and I was in a grad program...managed to complete the grad program and be there for family, but just could handle getting it done for some reason(not knowing what i was supposed to do with grad loans and stuff probably was a piece). Now, I'm trying to get it together especially before this next years are due. Any advice, anyone been in a situation like this before? Am I totally fucked? I also pulled money out of a retirement account to pay bills, and think I ended up paying taxes 2x on it- again, any advice? Anyone know how to go about trying to recover from a screw up like this?
