  • you’re done with your research before there’s any official ruling

    This really isn’t how science works at all. Results that aren’t reproducible and can’t be retested under varying conditions are almost completely meaningless. And no way to find out if it’s (justly or not doesn’t even matter) decided that you can’t do that kind of experiment shortly after your single one experiment is over.











  • Also 172/5’8 and same, several times! Even from me who were still taller than me! Also dated someone who didn’t care and was 175/5’9 and when we went out together and my shoes made me taller than him, we’d get an average of like 10 comments, all from men, about it. Lots of friends have told me their only slightly taller ex bf wouldn’t ‘let’ them wear heels.

    Also, on a dating app, I’d get about 50/50 matches from masc and fem people when I didn’t list my height. When I did list it, I’d get mostly fem ones, and all the masc ones were tall. And fewer matches overall.


  • I’d settle for ONE week where I don’t have uni or work, or prep work for either (half my job is prep from home), zero medical appointments (I average 2-3 rn), zero chores and errands (cooking would be fine), and zero messages to answer. AND none of those to catch up on after. Can’t fathom how much that would heal me.


  • Im 27, very first birth year for gen z. And I’m a teacher and this is a multiple times a day occurrence. Also, them laughing at my slang terms that I don’t even realise are slang as I’m using them. And the scary bit is, some of them are 18-20, so still firmly gen z too.


  • Some older people have somewhat similar smartphone behavior as teenagers. Those of us born in the ~80s/90s kinda grew up along with technology. A lot of older people adopted it when they were already adults, so they didn’t slowly grow used to it the way we did. And younger people started using tech when it was already this super intransparent easy to use thing that it is now. So those groups behave somewhat similarly around it: mobile games, a lot of social media use, and, for some reason, also heavy emoji use. I guess it might be because it’s new and cool to them and they never used :-) etc?

    Mind you, this is far from universal. Just a bit of a pattern I’m noticing. Also, I don’t really view you, a gen x person, as older, so idk.
