  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

First off it's not a fucking game.

Second, all she's done is alienate a bunch of short dudes, a demo she's probably not doing great with in the first place, and remind us that people will always see us that way regardless of anything else we do. No one cares about his height either and he's not even that short if they did.

I'm short too, but somehow didn't wind up inadequate like you.

Everything is a game. An argument with your father is a game. You balancing a delicious, spicy curry against the ulcer you might have in 5 years is a game. Being popular is absolutely a game.

This is the bone I have to pick with you. You care more about maintaining your perfect little bubble than you do about winning.

I'm not going to argue with you about your specific insecurities. I'm asking what political strategy would energize people?

I don't believe you have any ideas because you've never thought about crowdwork once.
