  • I got corrective eye surgery cause glasses were an annoyance on everyday life. Can’t see from some peripherals, weight on your nose and ears, annoying when you lay down, cuddle etc. They bump about, and fall off if you’re active (such as parkour and flipping). Also forgetting or relying on them to see was always irritating, they fog up, smudge, etc. Just generally a hassle I did not want to deal with any longer. They also break, are expensive, and potentially need multiple pairs if sensitive to sunlight, have different prescriptions, or need safety glasses.

    I’m sure they’re fine for most people but they suuuuuucked in my case.



  • I just wanted to add, that the heat pump effectiveness is true but a big part of the loss on tiny fridges is the insulation. Many manufacturers cheap out on that front for mini-fridges. You run at a greater energy consumption to compensate for the lack of proper insulation.

    Get a good, well insulated mini-frige (using a proper compressor/heat pump) and you’re all set. Buy once, cry once, and do your homework folks!


  • It’s just a feature I think a of of people find attractive, big or small. For most people I think it’s not necessarily a deal breaker but a small +/- towards attraction. I can’t tell you exactly why I like certain features like the nape of the neck, just that I do. I’m not going to dismiss someone as a partner for it either but it’s a small +/-. Height is just the mainstream version of that cause a bunch of people relate. Some people like to be made to feel big or small by their partner, height differences can do that.

    There will always be the shallow people who dismiss someone entirely based on something like that though, probably best to avoid those people.


  • I don’t go to fast food often, I walked into a McDonalds for the first time in maybe 1yr +? They had the kiosks for self ordering, I looked at the prices and “deals” and decided that the cost/experience ratio was just not worth and just left. I can go to a restaurant or cook myself for those prices (and I did, cooked enchiladas).

    It doesn’t seem affordable/worth it even for a one-off now





  • I once consulted my aunt (PHD English professor) for a small stakes bet ($5) because a friend and I were discussing whether or not letters have any fundamental rules on how they are written.

    Turns out, no, they don’t. I.E. if I write: Hello there, ¥¶®×°∆| Kenobi. As long as ¶®×°∆|" is understood as “General” than according to (american) English it is written “correctly”. There’s no edict that states a " T" must be written in that shape, therefore, any symbol that’s understood intent wise is correct.

    I lost that bet, cause WTF, how is that acceptable??



  • Yeah, I’m in the 11-25 range too, which is actually surprising to me. I’ve two friends who probably are the tier above that and the vast majority of the people I know are below that.

    The only person I can think of that may have been even a tier above that did some work in that area, was an attractive girl, and high libido. Definitely an outlier.

    TBH though I would’ve thought the average would’ve been higher



  • This is the problem I’ve encountered. Anime is fine, it’s like any other show/entertainment but it really can attract the wrong type of people. It’s why I don’t put it in my profile. The person I’m seeing has plenty of “horror” stories like yours too and said they avoid people with that in their profile now even though they like it cause of how weird or obsessive people can get about it.

    Kinda sucks cause IMO one of the best parts about it is the ability to create other worlds/universes that live action struggles to do. (Think ATLA anime vs Live action)



  • I recall one moment with an ex GF, we were the same height, never bothered me, it was what it was. I still recall we went to some even though, she put on some heels and turned around and gave me just the most heart breaking pity look and took off her heels. Man, it never occurred to me it was or would be a problem, but I could see it was to her.

    That didn’t ruin the relationship or anything, we continued for quite a bit after, but I still recall that vividly.
