7 levels and 6 of them are negative/helpless. And the one positive is just "maintaining."

Breetai posted:Being short is like balding: 90% of the time the people who complain about it are getting poo poo on because of the massive chip on their shoulder rather than the condition itself. As someone who's been going grey since like fifteen and started going bald recently, sometimes it's hard not to get a chip on your shoulder about it when every other person you meet feels the need to go "Hey, did you know you've got a few grey hairs?" "Looks like you're losing your hair hur hur hur" every few conversations.  Then again I'm more annoyed by the repetition than anything, if someone came up to me every day "That's a blue shirt you're wearing!" I'd probably start getting cranky at that, too.

Your Computer posted:I thought the whole "manlet" and "discrimination against short guys" thing was just a thing 4chan made up to make themselves feel better about mocking fat girls. Like, the tweets and stuff I've seen talking about how disgusting short guys are have pretty clearly been trolls, but they proceed to use it as evidence that they're actually the ones being looked down on. When I did the whole internet dating thing many years ago, a lot of my chats literally started with the girl asking how tall I was and saying "no thanks" after I told them I was 5'8". Though that probably says more about internet dating than it does about anything else. But if nerds aren't interacting with women outside of internet dating, then uh....

RFC2324 posted:Would this surprise you? My friend used to be quite the charmer. Then he got into online dating and I think it has broken him. He now has issues with meeting girls in the actual physical world, which he never used to, and he has an even harder time in actually finding girls that he is interested in. At this point I think the whole online dating thing is more of an addiction for him than anything else.

Lottery of Babylon posted:I see many people saying "turkey day" This bothers me too. I guess this belongs in the pet peeve thread, but turkey day is just kinda gross to me, probably because I'm a recently-returning vegetarian. We're at the point where even Halloween is being crushed by Christmas, and Thanksgiving or "turkey day" is just the official point of permission to the assholes who've been talking about Christmas since August to feel justified.* Putting the whole thing on a dead bird kind of kills the spirit of the holiday. *I really don't hate Christmas, I think it's a very nice time of year and I love seeing trees and buildings all lit up. But the more and earlier people talk about it, the more over it I am. Also, I really can't be the only one who loves to get down with a shorty, right? I'm 5'6" and 5'8" is a perfect height for me. 6'0" and I start to feel a little dwarfed. Don't want those shorties? Send 'em to me. I'm definitely not alone--I know several men who are even shorter than me dating lovely tall girls because they are handsome, kind, and fun to be around. Basically, if you're cool and don't get all hissy over a girl wearing heels or being taller than you (I've known guys who do this), it won't matter how tall you are to most people.

The source of all your problems  See, I agree with a lot of those. For example, #10(Fear) is basically American politics in a nutshell. However, we suddenly cross into #8 with eyes on walls and I would definitely worry if I saw a room filled with pictures of eyes. Unless they meant pictures WITH eyes, like some image of an angel

It's pretty easy to get a design or objects that looks like an eye and use it to mess with people.

Also, angels is a bad example choice. I imagine a stern portrait, similar to the one in ghostbusters, would have the "eyes" and encourage that "ethical behavior" that comes with the presence of authority.

I'd say they ones that are total bullshit are marginally better since with ones like these, the people who buy into them can just go "These are proven facts, are you saying the scientists are wrong?

CommonShore posted:I know of a graduate thesis project that is arguing that the whole discourse of depression is just ~capitalism~ making people feel bad for not being "productive." This person has never actually interacted with someone with clinical depression, have they? At my low point I once went an entire weekend without eating, and during that period I only got out of bed I think twice to go to the bathroom and spent multiple hours long stretches doing nothing but staring at the wall. During episodes, you don't feel "bad", you essentially temporarily lack any capacity to feel emotions at all. Like, that is such a facile understanding of depression I don't know how they didn't just get laughed out of their graduate advisor's office.

I have actually known a lot of women who, when talking about dudes with me (because as Gay Best Friend talking about boys is requisite), have been weirdly adamant about needing to date a guy taller than them. I don't get it personally, I've dated guys from 5'7" to 6'5" and just do not really give a gently caress whether he's taller than me or not, so it might be a gender thing?

I think the answer is "heels" The stereotype explanation I've heard, whether true or not, is that she still wants to be feminine(i.e. not look like big bird) while wearing heels, so that requires the guy to be at least a certain amount taller than she.

As a girl I think it's just a dumb social thing. Girls are"supposed" to be shorter because of heels or some dumb poo poo. I'm 5'7 or '8ish and my husband is 5'9. Heels do not loving matter.
