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.
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.
Yeah, I've also encountered some weird snobs who said they loved it, almost certainly because they thought they were supposed to. You probably understand better what's special about it than those who pretend to just find it enjoyable from a modern point of view. To summarize what I think: it's a stellar, incredible picture, it's just not all that entertaining because its inventions have since been further developed and we have more enjoyable stuff now.
Citizen Kane is so celebrated because of how revolutionary it was and how much it influenced pretty much every movie made after, with then-novel techniques in things like cinematography and non linear story telling. Just tons of stuff that had never been done before. Of course if you compare it to later films it won't be all that remarkable. Everything it did first is now everywhere and we kinda take it for granted.
You argued that a question I didn't even asked is a fallacious line of reasoning. I said that that isn't what the question is. This is a textbook example of the strawman fallacy.
Both vegans who don't support leftism and leftists who don't support veganism where possible are a bit of a head scratcher to me. Youre pro equality and against suffering, but only if the suffering party thinks, communicates and/or looks a certain way? I don't get it.
How often do you really need the support, though? I don't think I've ever needed it in >10 years of owning smart phones. I personally couldn't be happier with the fairphone.
How people can look at (mostly) state owned rail vs private airlines and still think the free market benefits the average person is one of life's big mysteries to me.
Traveling [place] implies you're seeing a large enough portion of it to be representative to all of [place]. That's what this is making fun of. Nobody says 'im travelling the US' when theyre just going to NYC and Florida. At most they'd say they're going TO the US. That's just what those respective phrasings imply. The meme isn't ripping on not travelling or not travelling everywhere.
To clarify: the right is the curls you create with heat, the left is after you carefully brush them out a bit so they appear more natural. So it's a before (well, mid way) and after, left to right. Most people prefer the natural looking styling.
I threw a like 2x2x2 cm chunk of lithium in water once and the reaction is much weaker than a mint on some cola. So if anything, it'll be the electric shorting that causes a reaction, the lithium won't be all that interesting.
Even just some lime juice, black pepper, maybe olive oil would probably be great! I might try that with tofu.
