As someone who's 5'7", we do place a HUGE amount of masculinity on height and e DO often make things targeting only tall men.
Oh as a trans dude it’s incredibly apparent to me that we do that. Like, basically all I wear any more is sweat pants because I can’t find jeans that fit me even in the kids section.

Congrats! I don't particularly like VtR (just not my game) but I might have to pick up that one once it's odne
I was really burned out on it for a while, but I am really really liking the stuff in 2.0 Requiem. Definitely take a look. :D

If it helps at all for future movies, Ezra Miller's version of Barry Allen is explicitly Jewish, a rare instance of a canonically non-Jewish character becoming Jewish on the big screen.
wait he is jewish
that is awesome
i might watch when the dvd comes to my library just for that

That’s part of how I measured my Japanese: how many disney songs did I understand
Did you have songs from specific movies or just in general?
I think I might know Notre Dame better in French than English at this point because it just sounds cooler.
So, what are your plans for the High Holidays?
We have the standard - long hours of prayer, yearning for the Temple where once we might have been atoned for with some blood sprinkling...
I’m planning on apologizing to my teacher for the thirtieth time, but he’s withheld forgiveness for years. It may be time for me to move to Bavel and start my own academy.
My favorite thing to do, of course, is to debate whether or not chewing on an herb counts as eating on Yom haKippurim. Obviously it’s forbidden, but should someone be liable for the death penalty if they do? What if they really don’t like the taste?
I was also just talking with my study-partner the other day - is the daughter of a king required not to bathe like the rest of us? But if not, are not all daughters of Israel daughters of the King of Kings? And what if she’s a newlywed!
Truly, there is no better way to spend the season of atonement, though, then to measure imagine the smallest amounts of food possible and wonder if they really count as food. I have my favorite olive ready as a standard measurement!

Yes. Having a Christian seder is always antisemitic, even if there's no one Jewish around to know about it, nor even a potential convert.
I meant the lying to me and forcing me to be there bit. Not the seder bit. I know that is.
Like, if I spoke about my experiences with it, is it antisemitic?
@janothar u r incorrect this subject is out to get me
The word “testament” is derived from two Latin words, i.e. testes, or the male reproductive organ, and mens, meaning hand. The ancient peoples swore oaths on the reproductive organ of their father by placing their hand on it. When Jacob knew he was dying he asked his son Joseph to swear he would return his body to the land where he was born. The Torah tells us that Joseph placed his hand under the thigh of his father. Likewise, when Joseph died he had his son do the same. All ancient people did so because they knew nothing of reproduction and therefore swore by the reproductive organ so as to encourage the Deity to remember them and not let them starve.
Dr. Gerhard Falk, @janothar adds: If you trace it all the way back, it comes from Proto-Indo-European for 3, via a 3rd party witnessing an agreement, and in Latin it was Testis ("a witness") to testari (to witness/testify) and combined with "mentum" (a suffix) became testamentum. There's some theories that the PIE word also is the root for testes, but it's a bit weaker of a claim. https://www.etymonline.com/word/testament
