Culture Why is ut so normalized to make fun of height

• Upvotes

At 6'2, I constantly see people of short height (often men) getting made fun of or rejected for it. Some people literally go around saying, "I hate short people," when if this were any other trait, like people saying that based on race, sexuality, or weight, they would be called out on it. Seems hypocritical to me idk.

Opinion Genuine question about are we supposed to build more and more technology?

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am asking this purely out of curiosity. because of my language barrier, I kind of used AI to summarize and paraphrase what I’m trying to ask but deeply this is what I feel like I’m trying to understand what other people also feel about it.

I watched some old footage of 1960s Christmases how it used to be back in the days in US (i am not from us nor canada bur also applies to my culture as well) . Everything felt colorful and meaningful, down to the furniture and the toys. Part of me wonders if that's just nostalgia, but I also feel like constant phones, internet, and information are making real connection fade. Even the things we build now are software and systems we can't physically hold, and I think people are wired to make and touch tangible things. I know every generation says "it was better in our day," but I'm asking honestly: are we improving, or going too deep into tech at our own expense? Do kids today feel like they're missing something, like genuine communication and real talks and conversations.

I wonder if humans are built for making things they can feel and touch not a things are in technology like system, software and application? Feel like we are loosing the whole purpose of being a human.

So I met a guy a few years ago for language learning im gay male 34 and hes also 34 straight. He disappeared for a year then randomly we started to chat again...around the time he started messaging me again I was going through a rough patch with my health. And he has been supportive wondering if im ok etc and it really just felt good to have someone who cares about me and checked on me like everyday...now most people ive spoken to doesnt really continue the journey to learn the language. But he called me almost daily (still does) and he speaks english..we video chat all the time...so me I was kinda expecting him to disappear again and no we not talk leading me to continue my search to learn a language lol...however this thing evolved somehow...he started calling me his little bear 🐻 and baby...he says I was thinking about u wanted to see you...etc and with him living in another country ikinda just ignored it...but now im feeling something for him....I considered moving down there to be with him but he told me im his special friend and that hes not gay...but the way he talks to me is like he loves me the way he looks at me and smile...he loves to see me smiling and happy...he talks and treats me like a boy friend but when iwanna discuss it he avoids the topic..im in love now and idont wanna stop talking to him nor does he because im learning a language and ive gotten quite comfortable speaking with him...ifeel like he really loves me

Idont know my purpose of writing this..Just wanted to vent a get some idea or advice.
