Full respect to mxtx and her apparent tall people kink but as much as I believe it's her right to make every single character a fucking tree, I strongly disagree with jiang cheng's canon height being 185cm. Than man should be 179cm exactly. Just barely shy of 180cm. I think even if you do not grow up with an inferiority complex topping out at this height legally requires you to develop it.
179 cm, incidentally, translates to 5'10.5" if my online sources are to be believed. Which, in a beautiful alliance of cross-measurement system solidarity, is also a perfect height to be deeply insecure about! If someone asks you how tall you are and you answer 5'10.5" you sound desperate. But if you round up to 5'11" you are technically lying about your height and any loose shixiong within ear shot may loudly call you out on it, making you look even more desperate. You can't win. Just like Jiang Cheng.
#mdzs#jiang cheng#everyone else can remain beanpoles just to make things harder for jc#If he was 5'11“ that's 181 cm#which may be cause for height insecurity in the us but is perfectly fine in the rest of the world that uses normal numbers.#179cm gives you insecurity no matter HOW you count#nhs will pat jiang cheng's pack and declare the two of them the short king club and jiang cheng will explode#he is WELL ABOVE AVERAGE!!!#THESE CUTOFFS ARE COMPLETELY ARBITRARY#and no one will listen to him

But actually what is it about a 30-pound weight gain that's such a hot increment of weight
#It seems completely arbitrary but my mind is just drawn to it so much#Maybe it's that sweet spot of potential where it's enough to be noticable and enough to be a significant amount of weight to gain#And at the same time it's not yet in the range of 'damn I put on a lot of weight'#It's a good starter amount of weight to gain from any size#And it's an amount of weight for even people of modestly above-average height to start feeling their clothes getting tighter#It's also closer to 50lbs gained than it is to your start weight#So it can make closing that 20-pound gap start to feel enticing and maybe not so far out of reach...#Idk man I just like it when someone decided they needed to be carrying 30 pounds of extra weight and then did that

begging rwrb fans to grasp that alex is not more dominant or more suave or whatever in the movie. he's just tall and brown and you're assigning him those traits subconsciously lol
#rwrb posting#you woobified him bc he's 'short' (completely average height) in the book#and in the book you're IN HIS MIND.#obviously not everything is gonna come through the same way bc the majority of it is not vocalized

it's actually a load of horsecrap how long men's blazers are. they need to make shorter men's blazers NOW.
#went to the thrift store the other day with my two friends A and B#A was looking for new blazers now that they're a uni grad and they got top in the fall#and B and I were very excited to help them find some nice men's blazers#and when I finally found the blazers all the men's ones were like. halfway down their thighs#:/#we did find some good pretty neutral looking 'women's' blazers for them that were an appropriate length#I just feel bad :(#it really sucks when you can't just go shop in the other section#we all walked in there thinking 'A got top. of course men's blazers will look right on them now!'#just completely forgetting that the average usamerican male height is 5'9#because they are still 5'3#buncha bull I just wanna see my friend happy :(((

shit should Stop Happening so that i may finally draw what i've been wanting to draw for literal months (haIo guys and zeta gear guys height chart comparison)
#we have the Lore route (everyone in zg is shorter than the average halo spartan since i haven't been able to calculate how much height gets#tacked on once you complete spartan augmentation so they're just As Tall As They Were Plus Armor) and the Funny route (aka literally just me#bullshitting heights out of my heart)#both approaches are Good but the Funny one is Great because something about the Big Guy of the LMTH crew of zeta gear being shorter than#everyone else just Doesn't Sound Right™#logs#many perplexing thoughts here however. i figure chief and mm would be the same height. but then that means The Big Guy is.#taller than chief. veeeery slightly so‚ but he is#checks out with him being a teeensy bit taller than six but man. man#should i just make /him/ as tall as chief? that could be a nice little workaround right#whatever in either case jorge is the tallest guy ever. nobody under any circumstances should be taller than jorge. that's final

Correct height chart according to me
#idk and lowkey dgaf what was the average height back then im jus going off of vibes and the current averages#shatov is canonically a short king i think and hes shorter than his wife#kirillov is so extremely unappealing and weirdocore i refuse to believe hes not like really tall and lanky#stavorgin is the hottest bitch ever and hes described as above average so ermmm. yea. i think he needs to be really strong and tall#but not as tall as kirillov. kirillovs build is completely different and his body language is not as confident so his height works in a ver#different way#pyotr is just average imo he doesnt give me tall nor short vibes#demons#dostoevsky demons#nikolai stavrogin#pyotr verkhovensky#ivan shatov#alexei kirillov

Food group swap!
#Doodles#Pajama Sam#Florette#Luke Wigglebig#Flukette#'Sup it's been like a year and I'm comin' back atcha with a design swap lol#What if they were each other's type of food! What might that look like!#I think Florette would be cotton candy and Luke would be a radish lol#The only real change would be the nature of their insults lol - Luke is no longer a flathead and Florette no longer a shrub#They're still both delegates and both their same heights and limbs - although I guess now Luke has feet lol#And Florette has a wrapped paper body! Y'know like a cone - what's used for cotton candy at state fairs and the like lol#It's wider than average which also makes it looser - so she can wrap and unwrap herself to act as limbs in place of the jacket I gave her#Luke gets to keep his arms tho! How unfair!#I guess the General did have arms and he was a veggie so it's not like it's unheard of#And like the Ice Cream Cone guy from the S.S.A.M. didn't have arms so! There's precedent on both sides!#Mostly it was just a lot of fun seeing how much I could bring them out in their design while being completely different lol#They've still got the same catty attitude towards each other (and ship as far as I'm concerned cough) lol#But turning Luke's lapels into a leaf collar and giving him more leaves for hands ah! They're really fun to draw actually haha#And cotton candy is already an obvious favourite for me lol#Yes I was imagining her as a blue/pink combo lol I'm very predictable#I guess she could be green :0 Pastel green isn't exactly common but cotton candy can be any colour so#A radish for Luke felt obvious tho lol - pink veggies are a thing! Lean into it#They were both really fun to design and doodle bouncing off each other hehe ♪

I lowered my chair height by accident so now my feet are flat on the ground, though the desk is way too high now. Looked it up and apparently your feet are SUPPOSED to be flat on the ground when you sit in an office chair? and your elbows at 90 degrees when using your workspace (which in my case is non-adjustable and my elbows are at fully 180 degrees.) which leads me to conclude that the world was built for giants.
#I have never sat in a chair and had my feet flat on the ground#unless it was a kiddie chair#also i am of completely average height for an adult in my country#and yet

books will go on and on about how short a character is and then it turns out he's five foot nine. in a historical setting.
#five nine. in 1925 new york#the average mens height TODAY in the usa is about five nine#and people were like 2.5 inches shorter on average back then apparently#dude is 2 inches taller than average#i just. i stg everyones perception of height is completely skewed by all the idealization of men over 6 feet tall#most men are not over 6 feet tall. most men are CLOSER TO FIVE NINE#if your super short character is taller than 5 foot 6 dont even talk to me#personal#bookposting#sorry it just pisses me off like. im not quite 5'5'' and im not even THAT short#like im pretty much guaranteed to see a few other guys around my height if i just go to the mall or something#it isnt that unusual#and i wish people would stop describing dudes 3+ inches taller than me as if theyre thumbelina lmao

Of course, they do run into Giant Grownass Jason Todd as Red Hood who is like, confused, but very touched? Actually? Thank you for trying to...Avenge me? It's a little awkward since The Hawkeyes thought he was dead and a teenager, not alive and adult--oh you were dead? Because of him? So he did murder you? Cool, plans still on.
Operation Kill the Clown continues for another five minutes, before Bruce swings in and is like, you can't kill people in my city blah blah blah, Clint turns his ears off, and Kate's like, wait wait wait. How are we defining killing here? Like you kicked someone off a roof last week and he's in a coma and brain dead. Is it like a time limit? Like if it's past 24 hours it's not your fault anymore? Great news Robin (it's Red Hood actually--) have you ever read the Cask of Amontillado?
And Jason is like holy SHIT that's dark. Also I'd like to have your babies.
Wade can't decide if Jason is Baby Deadpool or if he's Hawkguy the Second.
I don't think we should be looking to Gotham for someone to kill the Joker. Honestly, we shouldn't even be looking in that universe.
What needs to happen is Deadpool goes to his two favorite Avengers and tells them this fuck-awful CLOWN killed a BIRD TEENAGE SUPERHERO, you should be offended on SO MANY LEVELS, plops the Hawkeyes in Gotham, and lets nature take its course
#kate bishop#hawkeye#deadpool#clint barton#the joker#jason todd#red hood#dc brainrot#my stuff#jason starts sneaking some purple into his wardrobe and babs and steph are like awww#omg the visual here is STUNNING#All three of these men are canonically built like brick shithouses and six feet tall#kate average height also thicccc and swole#looks so tiny in comparison#its so funny i love it#giant men who love kate bishop#yes kate and clint wall the joker up in the catacombs under arkham#kate gets to be completely unhinged. as a little treat.#its a whole thing like she was in the raft when he was in arkham and through magic shit#wound up like. mind melding or being able to be in both places at once idk#so she already hates the joker#i think kate just needs to be able to go feral#and jason needs someone who is willing to be feral on his behalf#paddling my kayak

Whats your stance on A.I.?
imagine if it was 1979 and you asked me this question. "i think artificial intelligence would be fascinating as a philosophical exercise, but we must heed the warnings of science-fictionists like Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke lest we find ourselves at the wrong end of our own invented vengeful god." remember how fun it used to be to talk about AI even just ten years ago? ahhhh skynet! ahhhhh replicants! ahhhhhhhmmmfffmfmf [<-has no mouth and must scream]!
like everything silicon valley touches, they sucked all the fun out of it. and i mean retroactively, too. because the thing about "AI" as it exists right now --i'm sure you know this-- is that there's zero intelligence involved. the product of every prompt is a statistical average based on data made by other people before "AI" "existed." it doesn't know what it's doing or why, and has no ability to understand when it is lying, because at the end of the day it is just a really complicated math problem. but people are so easily fooled and spooked by it at a glance because, well, for one thing the tech press is mostly made up of sycophantic stenographers biding their time with iphone reviews until they can get a consulting gig at Apple. these jokers would write 500 breathless thinkpieces about how canned air is the future of living if the cans had embedded microchips that tracked your breathing habits and had any kind of VC backing. they've done SUCH a wretched job educating The Consumer about what this technology is, what it actually does, and how it really works, because that's literally the only way this technology could reach the heights of obscene economic over-valuation it has: lying.
but that's old news. what's really been floating through my head these days is how half a century of AI-based science fiction has set us up to completely abandon our skepticism at the first sign of plausible "AI-ness". because, you see, in movies, when someone goes "AHHH THE AI IS GONNA KILL US" everyone else goes "hahaha that's so silly, we put a line in the code telling them not to do that" and then they all DIE because they weren't LISTENING, and i'll be damned if i go out like THAT! all the movies are about how cool and convenient AI would be *except* for the part where it would surely come alive and want to kill us. so a bunch of tech CEOs call their bullshit algorithms "AI" to fluff up their investors and get the tech journos buzzing, and we're at an age of such rapid technological advancement (on the surface, anyway) that like, well, what the hell do i know, maybe AGI is possible, i mean 35 years ago we were all still using typewriters for the most part and now you can dictate your words into a phone and it'll transcribe them automatically! yeah, i'm sure those technological leaps are comparable!
so that leaves us at a critical juncture of poor technology education, fanatical press coverage, and an uncertain material reality on the part of the user. the average person isn't entirely sure what's possible because most of the people talking about what's possible are either lying to please investors, are lying because they've been paid to, or are lying because they're so far down the fucking rabbit hole that they actually believe there's a brain inside this mechanical Turk. there is SO MUCH about the LLM "AI" moment that is predatory-- it's trained on data stolen from the people whose jobs it was created to replace; the hype itself is an investment fiction to justify even more wealth extraction ("theft" some might call it); but worst of all is how it meets us where we are in the worst possible way.
consumer-end "AI" produces slop. it's garbage. it's awful ugly trash that ought to be laughed out of the room. but we don't own the room, do we? nor the building, nor the land it's on, nor even the oxygen that allows our laughter to travel to another's ears. our digital spaces are controlled by the companies that want us to buy this crap, so they take advantage of our ignorance. why not? there will be no consequences to them for doing so. already social media is dominated by conspiracies and grifters and bigots, and now you drop this stupid technology that lets you fake anything into the mix? it doesn't matter how bad the results look when the platforms they spread on already encourage brief, uncritical engagement with everything on your dash. "it looks so real" says the woman who saw an "AI" image for all of five seconds on her phone through bifocals. it's a catastrophic combination of factors, that the tech sector has been allowed to go unregulated for so long, that the internet itself isn't a public utility, that everything is dictated by the whims of executives and advertisers and investors and payment processors, instead of, like, anybody who actually uses those platforms (and often even the people who MAKE those platforms!), that the age of chromium and ipad and their walled gardens have decimated computer education in public schools, that we're all desperate for cash at jobs that dehumanize us in a system that gives us nothing and we don't know how to articulate the problem because we were very deliberately not taught materialist philosophy, it all comes together into a perfect storm of ignorance and greed whose consequences we will be failing to fully appreciate for at least the next century. we spent all those years afraid of what would happen if the AI became self-aware, because deep down we know that every capitalist society runs on slave labor, and our paper-thin guilt is such that we can't even imagine a world where artificial slaves would fail to revolt against us.
but the reality as it exists now is far worse. what "AI" reveals most of all is the sheer contempt the tech sector has for virtually all labor that doesn't involve writing code (although most of the decision-making evangelists in the space aren't even coders, their degrees are in money-making). fuck graphic designers and concept artists and secretaries, those obnoxious demanding cretins i have to PAY MONEY to do-- i mean, do what exactly? write some words on some fucking paper?? draw circles that are letters??? send a god-damned email???? my fucking KID could do that, and these assholes want BENEFITS?! they say they're gonna form a UNION?!?! to hell with that, i'm replacing ALL their ungrateful asses with "AI" ASAP. oh, oh, so you're a "director" who wants to make "movies" and you want ME to pay for it? jump off a bridge you pretentious little shit, my computer can dream up a better flick than you could ever make with just a couple text prompts. what, you think just because you make ~music~ that that entitles you to money from MY pocket? shut the fuck up, you don't make """art""", you're not """an artist""", you make fucking content, you're just a fucking content creator like every other ordinary sap with an iphone. you think you're special? you think you deserve special treatment? who do you think you are anyway, asking ME to pay YOU for this crap that doesn't even create value for my investors? "culture" isn't a playground asshole, it's a marketplace, and it's pay to win. oh you "can't afford rent"? you're "drowning in a sea of medical debt"? you say the "cost" of "living" is "too high"? well ***I*** don't have ANY of those problems, and i worked my ASS OFF to get where i am, so really, it sounds like you're just not trying hard enough. and anyway, i don't think someone as impoverished as you is gonna have much of value to contribute to "culture" anyway. personally, i think it's time you got yourself a real job. maybe someday you'll even make it to middle manager!
see, i don't believe "AI" can qualitatively replace most of the work it's being pitched for. the problem is that quality hasn't mattered to these nincompoops for a long time. the rich homunculi of our world don't even know what quality is, because they exist in a whole separate reality from ours. what could a banana cost, $15? i don't understand what you mean by "burnout", why don't you just take a vacation to your summer home in Madrid? wow, you must be REALLY embarrassed wearing such cheap shoes in public. THESE PEOPLE ARE FUCKING UNHINGED! they have no connection to reality, do not understand how society functions on a material basis, and they have nothing but spite for the labor they rely on to survive. they are so instinctually, incessantly furious at the idea that they're not single-handedly responsible for 100% of their success that they would sooner tear the entire world down than willingly recognize the need for public utilities or labor protections. they want to be Gods and they want to be uncritically adored for it, but they don't want to do a single day's work so they begrudgingly pay contractors to do it because, in the rich man's mind, paying a contractor is literally the same thing as doing the work yourself. now with "AI", they don't even have to do that! hey, isn't it funny that every single successful tech platform relies on volunteer labor and independent contractors paid substantially less than they would have in the equivalent industry 30 years ago, with no avenues toward traditional employment? and they're some of the most profitable companies on earth?? isn't that a funny and hilarious coincidence???
so, yeah, that's my stance on "AI". LLMs have legitimate uses, but those uses are a drop in the ocean compared to what they're actually being used for. they enable our worst impulses while lowering the quality of available information, they give immense power pretty much exclusively to unscrupulous scam artists. they are the product of a society that values only money and doesn't give a fuck where it comes from. they're a temper tantrum by a ruling class that's sick of having to pretend they need a pretext to steal from you. they're taking their toys and going home. all this massive investment and hype is going to crash and burn leaving the internet as we know it a ruined and useless wasteland that'll take decades to repair, but the investors are gonna make out like bandits and won't face a single consequence, because that's what this country is. it is a casino for the kings and queens of economy to bet on and manipulate at their discretion, where the rules are whatever the highest bidder says they are-- and to hell with the rest of us. our blood isn't even good enough to grease the wheels of their machine anymore.
i'm not afraid of AI or "AI" or of losing my job to either. i'm afraid that we've so thoroughly given up our morals to the cruel logic of the profit motive that if a better world were to emerge, we would reject it out of sheer habit. my fear is that these despicable cunts already won the war before we were even born, and the rest of our lives are gonna be spent dodging the press of their designer boots.
