If he didn't like them, he'd be using some other weapon. This is Fire Emblem after all, where just about every noble is a skilled warrior or mage of some kind.

I'unno S, some of that eugenics stuff from the series makes me think that statement might not be entirely accurate. Some critters get stuck with things because they had a famous ancestor, not necessarily because they liked it. For all we know the guy loathes swords, but was pre-determined by genetics to only be able to use them until he promoted.

Or was going up against an axe user in that picture. This is Fire Emblem, after all. Personal likes are sacrificed to placate the wrath of the RNG.

Someone missed a photoshop opportunity with that bird. Put it to a backdrop of an avalanche and you'd have the poster child for X-treme Owl Bathing.

I didn't buy it, but I'm not adverse to using what's on hand if someone else is going to insist on equipping the residence with the stuff.

Also not really aware of, like, room-level deodorant, and I can't imagine throwing personal deodorant into a pile of drying clothes achieving desirable results. Now that I think on it, though, there's got to be something equivalent to it. I just don't believe I've seen it before.

And wi-fi. The Amazing Social Gadget! Champion of idle teenagers and business people on the go.

No relation to the talking mouse.

Call and yell at talk to people? It might help, it might not. You might have already.

As for credit scores... folks that pay off quickly (as folks that disdain credit are often wont to do) are actually one of a lender's worst customers, only somewhat ahead of people that default. What they really want is folks that will just pay off interest and not really touch their premiums, so that the lender can rake in more interest moolah. Those are the ones who are best to give a loan to, from the perspective of the lender. Folks that will trip up a little and still pay off any nice fines or fees they accrue are arguably even better. A lender doesn't really want to be paid off, t'be honest...

... howzat work, anyway? Doesn't she have like, zero AD scaling anything except the AA?

A great many acts of thievery have no (personal) consequences, though, especially petty stuff. And yet many -- I'd wager most -- folks don't indulge, despite the opportunity. Because, y'know, there's non-personal consequences to thievery and if you get people to care about those, they're not particularly likely to steal. Considerably less likely than if they're aware of some punishment they'll probably avoid anyway. You socialize a person correctly, and they won't want to hurt other people in the majority of situations. They'll also probably want to show appreciation for the work of others, and so have a strong incentive to pay (or trade, I guess) for something than steal it. That doesn't take punishment to enforce. It just takes people giving a damn about it, and most people are inclined to.

Now, if you mean no consequences at all -- no social approbation, no loss on the part of the one being "stolen" from, etc. -- then... well, there'd actually be no thieves, because thievery wouldn't be something that could happen. No loss on the part of the one being stolen from means no thievery is occurring. No harm, no foul, as it's said.

Socks on a dirty, sticky floor? Dirty socks are even worse than new socks! They soak up filth and keep it right next to your foot!

Better next to your feet than on them >_<

Which, admittedly, I generally just wear sandals around the house, if anything.

...feet wear wise, anyway. I... other stuff I wear.

But yeah. Socks. Socks are fine. Shoes are a goddamn horrifying sticky sweaty nightmare without socks. One that shortly produces the foetid stench of foetid stenches. One could say, But Fie on Shoes! And I could go back a couple years year or so and drag up the Barefoot in Florida conversation ramble again.
