John Lee posted:My SO insisted repeatedly that I was no more than 5'9". I had to pull out TWO driver's licenses, one of them expired, one saying six foot one saying six foot one, before she'd drop it. So you showed her 2 incorrect forms of ID instead of getting out a measuring tape? OK shorty we all definitely believe you're 6ft.

I live on the third floor so I think I'm still safe, but if I lived in a ground level place I would definitely buy an AR 15 and a bumpstock. If I had kids I'd buy 2.

I'm convinced the current height exaggeration is because of Tinder/Hinge/whatever, where there's a real or perceived height bias, but since hardly anyone actually cares about absolute height it never gets challenged. The people who do care about height mostly just want to be shorter/taller than their partner. It's pretty bonkers how widespread it's become.

Fantastic. Now I’m wandering around the house muttering “pigloos” Also if you actually weirdly talk, be prepared for strangers to ask you your height constantly and then compare you to “someone they know who is taller” like it’s some sort of weird heirarchy.

Some apps ask you to list height. The topic isn't avoidable. Height factors into physical attraction, so people lie, just like they do about weight. I'm short and I know it limits my dating pool. It is a bummer, but I swipe left on women I'm not attracted to all the time. We're dumb, horny animals. Roll with it.

as a 6'3" trans woman, i would like to put a foot of height on offer to anyone who wants it so i can be smolTrapick posted:Oh for sure, I just think it's getting more widespread. This is just anecdotal but I hear way more about height preferences and people lying about height than 15 years ago, when online dating was a thing but not nearly as ubiquitous. not only is it anecdotal, it's also likely confirmation bias. data that isn't empirically verified is always worthless because humans have flawed brains and we gently caress poo poo up.

Of course there are some women out there who are way into tall guys, but the perception that most of them have hard and fast minimum height requirements probably come from incels forums. It's like when they started hyper fixating on how thin their wrists are. TBH I didn't really hear about it until about 4 or 5 years ago. I've never really considered it a factor in my dating life.

But even outside of dysphoria poo poo being above average height sucks. I'm only 6'1" and I've never had an apartment where the countertops are tall enough. I'm sure my posture would be poo poo regardless, but having to slouch to cook dinner certainly doesn't help.

After not going to the doctor in over a decade because of no health insurance I went a couple of years ago and they told me I was 6ft. I thought that was weird and wrong because I had always been 6'2. My wife said I probably was just always wrong or had the initial measurement done wrong after I stopped growing. I was insistent that I used to be 6'2. Cue me looking like the Charlie jpg from It's Always Sunny as I poured over old stuff for evidence. I was able to confirm that I was actually 6'2 using a combination of old medical records and numerous photos where I was standing next to something I knew the height of. Turns out over a decade of desk jobs with terrible posture and some other medical stuff meant I lost two inches of height.

Buddy, if you really want to cook your noodle, have someone measure your height when you first wake up in the morning then again before you go to bed. You won't get the same numbers.

I genuinely don't know if that's true, or whether it's basically numerology, but I do know that part of the "fun" for these terminally-online alt-right shitstains is making people think they're seeing secret Hitler codes to "trigger the normies" or whatever, as well as actually sharing things with 1488 etc in. Like how the OK sign started as a "lol let's pretend this is is a thing" and then became...a thing. Like I say, it could just be a coincidence, but it just makes me a bit cagey.

One of my friends has 88h as an ID tag for their work. I know for a fact that it's an automatically assigned string, but it still makes me raise an eyebrow when I see it.

Reply All did a story about the feral hogs tweet, they found the guy and he is actually super chill. there is a legitimate feral hog problem in a lot of rural areas though. Like tens of thousands of animals that weigh hundreds of pounds who will absolutely gently caress you up if they feel trapped and threatened. They destroy crops and cause erosion and multiply exceptionally fast and are just insanely invasive animals. In the podcast they interviewed several serious smart sounding scientists and ecologists all saying that you couldn’t eradicate them if you tried. It’s actually a problem.
