        When you hit 40, you’ll definitely understand how young 22 still is.

        I’m in my mid 30’s. Fuck off with all your smug “you’ll understand when you’re older” bullshit.

          Yo hold on, let’s be respectful to each other, this isn’t Reddit. Let’s have a nicer community here. That’s why we all came here in the first place.

        When you hit 40 you should goddamned know calling an adult ‘little’ is fucking disrespectful regardless of how old you happen to be or your outlook on how infantile younger people are.

            There will always be bigger issues, the world is imperfect. This doesn’t mean any other smaller issue is somehow not valid or disqualified. Multiple issues exist and can be addressed at the same time.

          She’s 4’10½"… She’s very small. Little is an adjective used to describe someone who is small. And it’s contextual here because you don’t really need to drag someone so little (…) off by their hair. You can just pretty much pick her up.
