Dangerous plastic surgery trend: Height Surgery

"Jerome never questioned my commitment again. I took my mind off the pain by reminding myself that when I'd eventually did stand up, Id'be exactly two inches closer to the stars."

Gattaca is a great film where he does exactly this.

One of my favorite movies that was long before it's time.
- I agree. It was and is an amazing movie.
  
  I very intentionally bought it.
- I watched it at the movies and thought it was crap. Granted, I was much younger then. It's one of my favourite movies now.
It's one of my favorite movies of all time and has so many great quotes.

"I never saved anything for the swim back."

"I was never more certain of how far away I was from my goal than when I was standing right beside it."

The style of the movie feels timeless as well. I like how they didn't try to go crazy with fancy gadgets.

Also, it has a soft spot because I was a younger brother that always felt like he was the lesser and never belonged.

The only criticism I have is the romance piece, but the rest is just flawless to me.
- The name with ATGC is super cool too
- I haven't watched that movie in such a long time, but i still remember so much from it. Eo many good lines.
  
  Gerome, gerome the metronome.
  Was my favourite "quote" when i was little. I always thought: one day i can use that. Obviously i never did and never will
Cool trivia about that movies is that it includes a piece of piano music written specifically for a 12-fingered pianist.
- Was there a 12 fingered pianist or was it aspirational?
"You didn't beat me that day, I beat myself."

"Who're you trying to convince?"

"You want me to prove it to you? I'll prove it to you!"

"It's not important Anton, it's forgotten."

"Want me to prove it to you?!"

"...I do."

Guys, your height does nothing for your worth. Anyone that tells you otherwise isn't worth your time.

In an extremely literal sense, it does.

I'm not saying it's right, but there is a reason people seek plastic surgery.
- New conspiracy: short people are pushing for WFH because everyone looks the same height in video calls.
- Keep an eye out and you will notice “tall white man” syndrome. Symptoms: extreme sense of self importance. Apparent acclimation to getting their own way. Expectation that others will pay attention to them, get out of their way, and generally bend to their will.
  
  Some tall guys are nice of course but no one falls for their own egos like tall white guys. Being white and male is already a pretty potent combination in our culture but being tall just adds a cherry on top. You get to soar above even other white males. It really is the pinnacle of OP starting positions.
- That has to do more with confidence than with height.
False. My height multiples my worth (n * 0 = 0)
- Checkmate.
I already knew I wasn't worth my time tho.

Literally the plot to a south park episode lol

Kyle just wants to play basketball and Gerald...well Gerald wants to be the smartest mammal on Earth. That episode is hilarious.

Enjoy your uncomfortable trips on a airplane.

I feel pain just looking at the thumbnail.

I hate this so much.

I don't watch videos, so I'm not going to follow the argument but I will say there does not exist people who don't give informed consent to breaking their legs. I'm sure they're very aware of the risks.

Edit: to be clear, I'm sure dysphoria can be a factor, but if they're willing to have their legs broken I imagine other types of treatment will be ineffective at relieving that dysphoria. Similar to how people are willing to get the ends of their bones chopped off and replacements hammered in once they have enough knee pain to necessitate it.

Do with your own body what you will, I guess.

Stilts or parkour.

Slay the obstacles in your path!
