Reply to LPT Request: How can I actually grow taller? by korggyy
It’s mostly genetic. However there are some exceptions now and again. I’ve known a few people who were short and then grew 6 inches in a summer. In my wife’s family people are either really short or really tall. She’s 5”8’ and her sister is 5 feet tall. She’s taller than brother her parents as well. Half her cousins are quite short and the other half are pretty tall. Genetics are weird. Just ride it out

Electric doesn’t need to shift gears so your saving shift time too

Reply to ELI5: Why did poor white’s in the South before and after the American Civil War have such a visceral hatred of African-Americans? by ScriptGenius12
I have heard that they were afraid they themselves would be made slaves. Also a lot of rich southerners lost all their free labor and if you get between somebody and their money they will do and say terrible things to keep it
