Recently, I suffered a massive injustice at the hands of @ToeBeans, and I wish to talk about it because it concerns a lot of important societal topics. Recently, @ToeBeans made a lighthearted thread asking people why they were still up. The humor is obvious - as a global website, there are obviously many users for whom it is not night, but @ToeBeans is acting like it is bedtime for everybody. It is also a relatable thread, as we have all had the experience of suffering from insomnia and finding ourselves browsing this godforsaken site.

https://rdrama.net/post/334265/why-are-you-up-so-late

I was one of the first people to respond to the thread, and I think I gave a worthwhile answer.

I left the thread and tended to other matters. When I returned, to my surprise, the thread had blown up and there were over a hundred replies. I jumped back into the thread to consume the new content but I soon found myself crestfallen. @ToeBeans had responded to everybody except for me. It felt like a knife to the gut, like having acid thrown on your face. Sadly, it wasn't an unfamiliar feeling, however, and the sadness that fell over me was something like an old friend. This is a situation I've dealt with plenty of times in my life - being ignored, overlooked, ostracized - and it comes down to heightism.

What Is Heightism?

Heightism is the discrimination of others based on their height. This is a harsh form of discrimination because one cannot change their height. It is a form of discrimination that mainly affects men, and it permeates all spheres of life. Height is used to judge one's fitness, attractiveness, and worth.

This is apparent when we look at the world of economics. What the studies show is absolutely darning.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_discrimination

Summing up the Wikipedia article:

1. Your height at 16 determines your whole life's earning power

• They also found that men's wages as adults could be linked to their height at age 16

• The researchers found that on an average an increase in height by one inch at age 16 increased male adult wages by 2.6 percent. This is equal to increase of approximately $850 in 1996 annual earnings. In other words, the height and corresponding social experiences of taller male adolescent at age 16 would likely translate to higher wage in later adulthood as compared to shorter male adolescent.

2. Your height determines what jobs you can have, even if height has nothing to do with your duties

• Studies have shown that short people are paid less than taller people, with disparities similar in magnitude to the race and gender gaps

3. Your height determines whether you will hold any leadership positions. If you're below 5 foot 7, you have almost NO chance of ever holding a leadership position

• Surveys have uncovered that less than 3% of CEOs were below 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in) in height. 90% of CEOs are of above average height

Heightism isn't limited to the world of money. It also extends into the romantic realm. Here, things get brutal for short men.

1. Women prefer taller men

• in a 2019 survey performed by Ipsos in Hungary with over 500 respondents, the perfect height for men for 53% of participants was between 1.78 m (5 ft 10 in) to 1.85 m (6 ft 1 in)

What Are the Effects of Heightism?

By now it should be obvious that heightism is not benign, nor is it a laughing matter. As a 156cm man, I have felt the harsh effects of heightism and it has permanently scarred my psyche and moulded me into who I am today, for better and for worse. There are no organisations or groups to come to my aid, and if I complain about the obvious discrimination I face, I am ridiculed. Heightism is suffered in private, and you are led to believe it is non-existent. Nobody has sympathy for you when you're short. You're always overlooked, never seen as a leader, you're always just "less than".

As you would imagine, research has shown that going through life as a short man has deleterious effects on the psyche.

• A study produced by the Universities of Groningen and Valencia, found that the taller a man was, the less anxious he felt about attractive, physically dominant, and socially powerful rivals

• it was found that a 5-cm (2-inch) increase in height was associated with a 9% decrease in suicide risk

Conclusion

When @ToeBeans ignored me, I felt that pain of being a manlet. That familiar feeling of being unseen and rejected for factors outside of my control. I put my best foot forward and I got overlooked. What's sad is that I've always tried to be nice to @ToeBeans so I don't know what I did to deserve this treatment.

But all that doesn't matter. I don't matter. I'm just a worthless manlet so nothing I do matters. I feel like cutting myself but I'm not going to do it. I'm dedicated to having a benzo and cutting free 2025. Nobody will take me off my path to self-improvement. I can't control what others think of me but I can control myself.

This is a silly post lol I love living in Japan, but it was not easy to get here. You cannot just move to Japan because you want too. You also underestimate how soul crushing those teaching jobs actually are. People on those salaries are just barely getting by. Gay marriage is not even legal here and Japan is a much more conservative country than most people think

I checked rdrama to see if someone had posted something about it, and low and behold Carp had posted it in Chud drama. And then he didn't post any seethe!? And no one else did!? Chuds are r-slurred man. Nonetheless, enjoy the seethe from people who have gone from to right side of history to the dustbin of history.

It is funny how if you don't want trans people in your movies, you're a genocidal dictator that wants to kill ethnic minorities and many more in a war.

2016 is back...

There are a few people using this as a chance to shill, but I included this guy because look at it. I was gonna ignore it, but he's fricking 22. my art is much worse but i'm not posting it publicly

Someone posted an animatic of this plotline, so I'll post some cope now

Finally, some words of wisdom to reflect on.

All for him being arrested...but a fricking holocaust memorial ceremony is neither the time nor place to do it.

This isn't about Israel vs Palestine or whatever grievances anyone has with Netanyahu or Israel. This is about remembrance for all those killed in the Holocaust.

Yeah totally makes sense let's give him a pass on bombing kids because remembering wars crimes is more important than stopping them.

This started a VERY long argument

Poland being classy and not wanting to turn a deeply personal event for many into a debacle that would take away from its meaning? Nice. Looks like people here are big mad though.

Inviting a war criminal to celebrate ending the holocaust smells like hypocrisy, doesn't it?

Imagine thinking that classy and any eastern european country go together in any sentence. Or that any country here cares about war crimes

ICC is a fricking joke and now so is Poland.

You either stick to your guns regardless of the consequences or admit that you won't arrest him from the start, anything else is embarrassing

Kitties. Just disband the ICC if no one is going to obey it

All these useless organisations are huge drama mines

What if Poland is playing 3d chess? Netanyahu would've never attended if Poland confirmed he'd be arrested.

Please Poland, do a bait and switch!

America will bend them over if they pull a stunt like that. I hope they do it

Mongolia set precedent (with good reason) by not arresting Putin. Now, Poland follow suit.

Should Mongolia have just been invaded for that? Can you elaborate how they'd get Putin out of the country?

Cause the West clearly won't do shit whenever Russia invades someone.

We can always blame Putin for this

Is a citizen's arrest legal in Poland?

Edit: I didnt make any statement to disagree with, but thanks for the downmarseys. I just thought Its worth asking. Apparently I made a huge mistake. Please forgive me Reddit Police.

Imagine the shitstorm if it happened, lol.

Antisemitism, Poland at it again, blah blah.

Yeah, I was thinking about all the consequences and thought this is worth asking if its a possible scenario.

I hope someone is stupid enough to try this

Cowards

pathetic

All bark, no bite smh

Setting a example for putin you fools

Mongolia and South Africa already set that example with Putin.

It only counts when mayos do it

What a bunch of traitors.

I wasn't much in loop but from what I know only PIS was against that arrest at the beginning (President sent request to government to protect Natanyahu). Most pro current government voters were in favor of arresting Natanyahu.

Idk what truly influenced this decision but it may have to do with Trump. 95% of Poles love USA and Polish government is super pro USA. So fearing Trump's reaction to arrest, international affair, internal chaos, the government capitulated despite voters wanting otherwise.

Why would it be about Trump and not the US's dogged support for Israel since 1948? Poland is bowing to US hegemony, not Trump.

Why the frick did Poland even promised to arrest Bibi in the first place? They even did this after Trump was elected, it's not like they didn't know who would become president and what his stances on Israel were. Slavs

The ICC warrant is nothing but a piece of paper and hold no real weight. It's nice of Poland to allow a war criminal to visit where a far worse war criminal did some of his dirty work I guess.

Ugh, like who cares?

Why the abrupt change of heart, though? Most EU countries, including Poland, were adamant they would arrest Netanyahu should he decide to visit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Criminal_Court_arrest_warrants_for_Israeli_leaders#:~:text=%5B49%5D-,International,-European%20Union%3A%20Foreign

It looks like Poland got a good telling off from Uncle Sam and mended their ways.... Also, Israel may be a US ally, but it's been terribly unfair towards Poland over the years and it's not Poland's ally, it's anything but.

Maybe Netanyahu told Poland he would be attending, effectively calling Polands bluff, I guess it looks better on Poland to admit they won't arrest him before he arrives rather than swear they will and then not doing it

Fricking based if true

If countries like South Africa won't arrest Putin but instead roll the red carpet. Why should the West be holier than the Pope and arrest our allies? There is an existential war going on between the democracies and dictatorships and we never should bow for the dictators.

You're fundamentally misunderstanding the nature of the conflict. It's not say "democracy in Europe/America versus non-western dictatorship". It's a conflict of ideas between liberal-democracy and autocracy/authoritarianism and this is happening inter-state and intra-state. Donald Trump is in many ways aligned with the values of Putin more than he is with the values of liberal democracy. Likewise Orban in Hungary or Netanyahu in Israel despite their countries being liberal-democracies and historical allies.

Putin doesn't hate the UK or USA, he's at war with liberalism. So he's at war with us and the only way he won't be is if we are no longer a liberal-democracy (which is the direction of travel under Trump).

It's obviously messy as you can have players blurring the lines depending on the context and their own self interests.

Letting Netanyahu get away with war crimes is a victory not for democracies but for the autocratic/authoritarian World view that values naked self interest and might-makes-right politics. The reason that is a bad thing is because the liberal-democratic model has ushered in the single greatest period of peace in World history and was built on the lessons of the horrors of the great wars and other massacres.

Someone replied to this with another and more people reacted but I didn't read any comment here so I'm not sure what they're debating Probably some soy shit

Smart move. Committing an act of war against a nation with nuclear weapons by arresting their head of state is probably not a great idea.

Horrible move, imagine all the cool videos we would have gotten if Israel nuked Poland

The frickin irony of this guy visiting a concentration camp while running one

Too many r-slurs on the internet don't seem to know what a concentration camp or a holocaust is. Just killing lots of people wasn't the shocking part of Nazi Germany

Like what's the point of the ICC now

Comic relief

https://old.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/1gkx9ri/comment/lvp6brv/?context=8

You aren't alone. A lot of us feel this way. I've settled for dry heaving every few minutes between ugly sobbing and vowing never to voluntarily associate with anyone who voted for a republican ever again. The betrayal is so deep and complete. As the Italians say, they are dead to me. They don't care if I die, so I don't need them in my life. They are a direct threat to my safety

2. REMOVE ALL MEN FROM YOUR LIFE

https://old.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/1gku9v8/comment/lvp08tt/?context=8

Cut those people out of your life, yesterday. No mercy. If they can't understand you by now, they just don't care. And people who don't care about your mortality are no friends. I'm serious. Please protect yourself. They aren't being progressive when it really counts, which would mean standing up for us, even though we lost

3. SHE IS IN ABSOLUTE BATTLE MODE, SKIN OF STEEL

https://old.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/1gkwcmm/comment/lvoznn9/?context=8

I woke up this morning with skin of steel. I'm so enraged. My words will be swift and cutting and dripping with venom. I'm in absolute battle mode. There's no stopping me because I simply won't be able to keep my mouth shut. These people need to be publicly shamed. Shut that shit down. Swing the spotlight right over their stupid, depraved, bigoted, bullshit behavior. I want them to feel the burning flames of shame for being such disappointments to the human race. I'm so sorry y'all I've just lost my compassion for anyone who claims ignorance. There is no talking sense into people but you can force their beliefs to affect them in the immediate sense by letting them and everyone around know what a frick up individual they are. A-fricking-mazingly, this will be news to a lot of them.

So peep this. I wake up one day with a smile on my face. I ready to GOON hard and hustle COOMpacks to my homies off the street. Gay, straight, all genders and nationalities, I don't discriminate when it comes to selling legal and illegal COOM to those in need.

I was try to watch a LIVE CAMGIRL SQUIRTING HARD PULSATING CLITORIS and the stream went off! Shit sucks yo, but I was EDGING like mofo and I held in my COOM. I tried to browse pornhub and all my favourite videos were GONE! I researched and found out that FEDs are trying to shut this shit down.

Nah fam PornHub don't die that's Town Square for gooners. We use VPNs round here AND we got our shit downloaded fam.

I dug deeper into this shit and I discovered that the Latter Day Gooner Cult is behind some of this shit. They claim to be about that GOON life but it's clear they're trying to restrict GOONING talmbout "holy GOON sacraments". Nah I GOON when I want. Which set you rep?

Sheeit, I was reading up and it turns out this schism in the GOONING community has been going on for eons. All throughout the years, there has been tension between the younger GOONERS who are trying to GOON fast and hard, and the older gooners striving for a subtler, but longer-lasting goon experience. Me? I stay with them young bucks. I goon too wild to be shackled by coom calendars and shit. I believe my set GOONs the hardest.

So yeah, the gang war has begun and we goon on cultists all day every day on site. A lot of GOONERS are gonna CATCH CASES, SSDs CONFISCATED, and INTERNET ACCESS RESTRICTED by FEDs while on probation.

Here is the thing. I test hypnosis on and off here and there, and over time I sometimes get messages from the dream state. Usually the messages were some simple things like "here is a story idea" or "Here is another cool story idea" or "whoops sleep paralysis." little signals like the last few moments of a dream where something interesting happens and still feels profound when you wake up.

What happened over time however, is that those last moments of dreams became less abstract and more like direct recommendations. Like you know the bicameral brain theory? Where one side of your brain is giving instructions and the other side of your brain is perceiving it as an outside voice from beyond yourself? Something like that but more with my subconscious directly telling me that I am wrong about something or not, and me waking up and going over what I am told I was wrong about, and realizing the dream advisor voice is correct.

Here is where things took a turn though. In my most recent self hypnosis/ nap session, I appear to have gone through a hypnotic regression ( simple explanation for hypnotic regression - going through locked memories in a hypnotic state, memories you cannot normally access ) rather than just a random dream advice message ( I was trying for hypnotic transcendent experience), and that regression state told me a story that does not match up with what I remember of my past but would match up with the theoretical timeline of my life and all that happened.

So I come from a third world nation. We have had A lot, and I mean ALOT, of change in our values and how we treat the people around us. From a 1st world point of view, the third world may still be very backwards, but from a third world perspective, every generation the third world has been busy stuffing in a single generation time frame about 100 years of western cultural and social change at once, to catch up on the western ideas that work. For example - In the west you might have stories of your grandfather beating your dad half dead or your great grandfather beating your grandfather half dead on a whim, but by your time you are trying to give your kid a time out to sit in their room as a lesson to take your car without permission and get caught by the cops for speeding.

Well, you take that level of cultural change and you fit it within a single generation, two at the very longest timescale, and you have got the rate at which culture is changing in the 3rd world. So the very same parent who might have been using you like a gym punching bag while you were 8-9 would be trying to learn to not raise his voice at you just because they are frustrated by the time you are in your 20s.

Now that the background information is filled in, here is my dream hypnosis regression comes in. In it was a message for me, and the message was that one of my parents is supposed to have been a crazy psycho on a whole other level than the worst that I remember about them. That they were a crazy psycho to the point that there is a clear gap between how different and fricked up my life was before I was 8 years old and after I was 8 years old, even though I remember almost nothing from before 8 years old.

Here is the problem with that dream though. It felt like it was the truth, but I don't remember the level of psycho that the dream was telling me one of my parents were in the very beginning, but, and this is an important but, I have enough memories of my parents to know that they became less violent and shittier in their anger every single year over time and the process of becoming less aggressive is still going on till today, and if I looked at the theoretical model of their behavior getting worse with every single year even beyond the earliest point where I can remember a bad memory, it suggests an 8 year time span where I would have absolutely ended up living with pure demons for a few days to weeks every year. In theory that pattern perfectly holds based on the pattern from 9 year old to the 20s that I do remember. Taking that pattern back I would in theory absolutely be living with psychopaths where it is a miracle that half my skull isn't crushed in and I can still speak.

But, here is the second part of the problem. My skull isn't half crushed in, and I can still speak, and the only evidence I have that "it never even began" is a theoretical model that fits, along with a dream telling me things were a lot worse than I will ever even be able to remember. It is like a case of profiling where the profile fits, but I have no 1st hand evidence to support the accusation.

For all I know the hpyno dream could just be completely made up, and actually just a dream filling in random blanks based on my subconscious storytelling mind. Creating a random tragedy possibly where none exists. To make matters worse, I come from a save face culture, which means that even if I asked people in my family about it, they would either label it as not half as bad as whatever I have in mind, or deny the existence of any suffering completely.

At the end of the day, now I am stuck with a revealed truth about my past that may not even be a truth, that has a profound impact on how I view my existence, creating change, and yet for all I know that message about a deep dark past from the subconscious mind is a complete made up fabrication.

Conclusion:

Hypnotic regression may or may not be real, may or may not be filling your mind with made up nonsense, but the experience certainly will feel like the truth.

Wouldn't recommend unless you can handle that uncertainty and an alternate truth to your existence that doesn't match up with how you have lived your life so far.

@Redactor0 from what I remember you like Spooky adjacent content.

So rdrama what do you think?

>FAIRHOPE, AL—Exploiting the popular online game platform for his own perverse ends, local Roblox user Rodney McKinney, 68, was accused of grooming 56-year-old Roblox user Walter Rhodes, sources confirmed Wednesday. "For the past several months, Mr. McKinney, a 68-year-old Roblox user, used the game as a means to foster an inappropriate relationship with an impressionable young 56-year-old that was sexual in nature," said officer Mike Cavazos, noting several obscene messages in which the baby boomer offered the much younger Gen X user Robux in exchange for lewd images of Rhodes' flabby, mature body. "It was clear from their correspondence that Mr. McKinney knew the victim was 56, as he stated in chats that he was 'old enough to be [Rhodes'] supervising manager.' And though he claimed that messages inviting the victim to move off Roblox to a more private LinkedIn chat were innocent, we believe otherwise." At press time, authorities claimed McKinney attempted to conceal his indiscretions by warning Rhodes not to "tell your mom, if she's still alive."
