I was a Field Election Deputy (FED) for my county’s election system for that election. For many elections before that I was a election worker inside the polling station. That meant that we had absolutely no clue what was going on in terms of the election itself. We are non-partisan when working at the polls.

I’m not even American, nor do I live in the USA, but I didn’t get any sleep either the night that maniac got elected.

I couldn’t sleep on the night he was elected. It was one of the worst night’s sleeps I’ve ever gotten.

I remember going to sleep that night that thinking, “Tomorrow morning I’m going to wake up and for maybe 1 to 2 seconds I’m not going to remember what happened, and that that will be the last time for a long time I won’t know how awful this is.” Treasuring that last split second of ignorance helped me fall asleep.

Fun fact.. in 2019 there is a dating app that verified a guys height before he can submit his height.. and I just went to verify this by finding the app, and alas just learned I was gotten by a Tinder April fools joke.. 

Reading this, I felt not schadenfreude, not anger, but... sadness. Not for Trump, of course—no, fuck him and his minions with a hydraulic press, and then fire the pulpy leftovers into the sun—but for the country. There are so many profoundly stupid people in this country who have blindly followed him up to now and…

they suspect the host, Seth Dunlap, of accessing the station’s Twitter account and tweeting the slur at himself.

As someone who is 6'0" tall and was on OkCupid, I’d receive a fair amount of messages asking if I was actually 6'0" because so many men shorter than 6'0" had lied to these ladies.  It was impressive and depressing.  

Oy. Is that the truth. I’m a tall, thinner women who used to be a tall, fat woman. I almost miss being fat. When I was fat, the quantity of men approaching me was lower, but the average quality was better. 

In fairness to my friend, he was in decent (not fantastic, but decent) shape and generally took care of his appearance, and he wasn’t quite that extreme with his standards for women. He wasn’t a troll bitter that models weren’t interested; he was a guy-next-door bitter that girls-next-door weren’t interested (though…

This seems like such a specific comment, but it’s exactly me. I did have a nice life insurance lady very generously record me at 6'1" so I have that going for me!

i met my wife on ok-cupid. i’m 6'4", she is 6'0" — on our first date she actually said that i was the first person she met on a dating site who was actually the height they said they were.

I had a former (male) roommate who is, like, 5'5”, and we had to stage what was essentially an intervention to prevent him from going full redpill over his height-based insecurities. We were all sympathetic—there is absolutely a weird social stigma about height (in much the same way as there is about penis size, which…

So basically its like people on Tinder who claim theyre looking for long term relationship.

I remember OKTrends (I think that’s what it was called). Y’all came to the conclusion that the average man overstated their height by 2 inches. Which, when I used the site, gave me a dilemma. Do I list my actual height (a bit under 6') and let everyone assume I was 5'6", or “lie” to better slot myself into my relative…

I recall looking at a woman’s photos on the site and she insisted on only dating guys above 6' because she was 5'11 and liked to wear heels. She shamed some guy in her pictures by having their photo taken together on their one date. He claimed he was 6'2 but was probably closer to 5'4 or 5'6. She TOWERED over him. It…

No, down. A 5'11.5 person isn’t 6 foot. 

Gotta agree, as a person standing 5'11", that it IS the worst.

My parents are from overseas, so generally when one of us got married a few people would come from the homeland, but then we would do a second reception there for the locals. Works out well because my mother is one of seven children (who all went on to have an average of 3 children), so the total family back there is…

Fight Club pretty much did end on a “fuck all that shit” beat. It’s not the movie’s fault that some people didn’t understand/willfully misunderstood what it was saying and decided it was about “WHOA MANLY BROS BEING BROS SO COOL” instead of taking the movie as intended (ie. “Toxic Masculinity: The Movie”).
