“the bro”
I’m pretty embarrassed by how long I paid any attention at all to either Bruenig or Matt the master fucking shiposter Yglesias. All just a troll game for these assholes it’s repugnant.

There are plenty of maladjusted toxic fragile male egos around. If you blend that with someone being short and you get people willing to break their own femurs to try to make themselves stop hating themselves.

Yea I don’t think the story here is about height. It should be a story about masculinity in the 21st century or something.
isn’t gaining height via surgery a minor subplot of GATTACA?
I don’t know where else to put this, but there’s a video of GOP governors describing their go-to snacks.

Most are whatever, but in a blistering nuclear take, Kristi Noem (SD) chooses Dots. Fucking Dots.
this mf said DOTS??? FOH.
Hot take: DOTS are fucking awesome.

Sometime’s it’s easy to forget what conditions billions of people live in across the world. I need to do a better job of keeping perspective of what others out there go through.
Conversely, I was “the tall kid” growing up, and it sucked. I was like a foot taller than everyone until high school and I hated being so different. Believe me, the ladies were not beating a path to my door because of my height, or anything else.
Being tall makes shopping for shoes inconvenient, and I feel bad when I sit down in front of people at the movies. that’s about it.
Buying shoes can also suck when you’re a wee dude like me. My feet are size 6, I have very limited selection. It’s easy to get dress shoes but everything else is a pain. All my sneakers are women’s shoes. OH NO MY FRAGILE MALE EGO!

I am a large-footed person and have no issues buying shoes. Maybe before the days of online shopping, but definitely not since.
Maybe it’s less of a thing in America but dating profiles almost always mention a minimum height in Europe, especially in Central/Eastern Europe. And they all want 6+ feet tall
no that is definitely a thing in the us
Shorter, smaller people use less resources and are better for the environment. People who are interested in procreating should search for shorter matches of they care about the planet.

I never have a big problem with shoes but clothes shopping gets difficult if you’re tall, planes suck unless you get an exit row or first class, fitting in cars can be problematic
Also hospital beds are not made for tall people. My 6’ 7" friend only got one that was because Larry Miller donated one to the hospital in case a Jazz player needed one.
Is this something I am supposed to care about?
