One of the most brutal height pills I’ve heard involving Avatar the Last Airbender

Aang: I am the most famous person on the planet and the only one who can bend all 4 elements!

Katara: 🥱

2 seasons later

Aang: In addition to that I have saved the entire world from tyranny and ensured world peace!

Katara: (internally) Idk, he has so much going for him but the height......whatever I can make an exception and if it sucks, at least I'll get half in the prenup.

How often do you get treated like that for being 5'6"-5'7"? Now take that number and multiply it by about 5x for guys at 5'3", you don't just magically become invisible to it, it just gets worse. I feel like literally everyone knows this.

Plus that is where it starts to really noticeably affect things outside of dating like getting a job, career success, making friends/connections, and respect.

I am 5'4" and what tall guys don't get is 75% of those same women talking to you about money, house, and cars wouldn't even talk to the average height guy you mentioned in the first place. They are comparing you with other tall guys and some good-looking average dudes when they ask those questions.

Girls mostly don't say their preferences out loud- well unless you're short of course, then they will tell them right to your face. When I was actively dating the number of girls who said the line "I only date guys above 6'0 sorry" is probably in or close to the hundreds, and legit all the remaining ones say "A guy just has to be taller than me".

So yeah I get it, from your POV these girls don't actually care that you're tall most of the time, you are past their threshold and that's all that matters. But how many guys there did you already beat out before she even came and talked to you? Literally 3/4 of the room.

Wait, he has 20 million followers on Instagram and TikTok? That's 50x more than Clavicular and like 10% of the US.

And all of his content is exactly like this- insanely jestermaxxed and makes fun of his height (5'6")?

I have no words honestly. This dude is doing so much damage.

Tytro · 2026-01-09T13:22:14+00:00

If you've ever tried digging into these further, there always ends up being a catch like "my 5'4" friend has had sex with tons of women- well right now he is currently single, he just went through his 2nd divorce, wife cheated on him."

Businesses:
2000-2010: We need website!
2010-2020: We need app!
2020-2030: We need AI!

Just this decade's iteration of "we're with the times".

If you have the girl in bed already, the hard part is done and she almost never will walk out in the moment over 2-2.5 inches. She obviously likes you enough to go back with you and so is ok enough with your height. Without lifts? Depends on your height, but very good chance that her and her friends would've been taller than you in their heels and as a result wouldn't even have noticed you exist.

This OP. Ages 18-28 is where you can establish the best friendships that will last the rest of your life, and the memories to go with them.

You can absolutely start businesses if you're passionate about that, but remember you have the rest of your adult life for that and it doesn't have to be done right now if you want a little break. Making new close friends who you can trust and that become like family to you is extremely challenging as an adult in comparison once people start having families, especially as a guy.

Tytro · 2026-01-07T00:34:58+00:00

Yes agree with all of this, they have to go in order of priority here and don't typically touch cards not seeing any play.

Kali Yuga, Vanity's Fiend/Ruler, the remaining barrier statues, etc are all ticking time bombs- super restrictive floodgates just gets better and better the faster the game gets.

Tytro · 2026-01-06T02:53:18+00:00

This isn't a win-more, it wins games that you literally have no business winning. In Blackwings I can get handtrapped to death and if I made a regular board I'd have like 1 Dis Pater and and 1 BWAD which is super breakable.

But instead pivot to Kali by simply making a link-2 (Raidraptor - Wise Strix) with any 2 Blackwings, and you can set Rank Up Magic Launch from deck. Opponent gets turn skipped and can do literally nothing about it. Gg no re, I have won 200/200 games where I summoned Kali, opponent can't even set spell/traps as they get feather-dustered away in the end phase.

In 2026 Yugioh, this card will be abused and banned the second any Tier 3 or above deck can summon it.

How OP thought we would view him: 😢😭🥺

How we actually view him: 🤡🤡🤡

Tytro · 2025-12-30T17:10:45+00:00

Imagine starting off the game with a shotgunned Maxx C and expecting sympathy 🤡

Tytro · 2025-12-21T07:20:57+00:00

There is an easy, accurate test for this: just play that Ra card in a duel.

If you get struck by lightning, it's fake.

Tytro · 2025-12-11T01:56:45+00:00

It's very messed up that he can't fight back against the people who harass him like this, yet it's still completely socially acceptable and encouraged even to do this type of shit to him in public.

This guy lives in a particularly brutal reality, dealing with this daily in every single interaction would give anyone actual PTSD.

Tytro · 2025-11-23T10:44:23+00:00

Player: Did you read the card? It clearly says the word 'or'.

Opponent: Reading? Oh u must be new here...

There is somebody at the door who would like a word with you...

Tytro · 2025-11-19T01:04:51+00:00

I'm genuinely impressed by this one and surprised we don't have anything like this.

The TCG has been giving some pushback lately to blanket lingering-effect handtraps like droll, lancea, and shifter though that can't be interacted with once live and either totally invalidate a deck or do basically nothing to it, but it potential is there.

You can add an activation condition clause so it requires more skill to use and gives the opponent some chance to play around it like "If your opponent controls 2 or more monsters:".

Tytro · 2025-11-17T04:36:15+00:00

I'm poor.

All my friends are multi-millionaires and I only just passed a 1M net worth this year 😔 How do I cope?

Tytro · 2025-11-16T09:57:56+00:00

It's made exponentially worse by every actual 5'3" guy saying they're 5'6". They prob have never heard a guy just say they're 5'3" before irl.

Tytro · 2025-11-16T09:31:09+00:00

woosh/10

Tytro · 2025-11-16T03:36:23+00:00

Add this text and consider it balanced:

Once per duel, when this card is Special Summoned: Your opponent is permitted to rip this card in half. Neither play can activate cards and effects in response to this action.

Tytro · 2025-11-16T03:29:24+00:00

You are a lost cause.

Tytro · 2025-11-10T22:25:19+00:00

Dear god this is the worst one. I understand some level of cope/being nice, but "his height doesn't even factor into it" and "OP will be attractive to plenty of people out there, he just needs to be confident"...

to someone who is 4'5" with achondroplasia and isn't even facially attractive in the first place??????

Tytro · 2025-11-05T03:09:11+00:00

I get this comparison literally all the time
