Leftists decided punishing Democrats was more important than the rights of marginalized people living in the US, so now we have Trump. Thanks leftists. You’re the reason we will have concentration camps again.

    I think it’s the phrasing that comes off out of touch.

    Like expecting that we should be super grateful to the management that they are “giving us back” 4 minutes of “our time” (that we will likely have to spend doing work for the company anyway) even though there is literally nothing else to discuss.

    4 minutes may not even be enough time for a bathroom break.

    I edited my post to include metric units for those numbers.

    And sure, it’s fine to say that is short from your own personal perspective but yes statistically the average height was less back then. Even so the average height today is only about 10 cm more.

    You may just be taller than average if you are that incredulous about his height. I don’t consider 5’5" (1.68 m) to be that far off from the average height of men in most countries today. If he were under say 5’ (1.52 m) I would say that is significantly shorter.

    1.68m is 5’5" which is yeah short but not too far from the (self-reported) average male height in France today which is 5’9" (1.75m) (Bayesian estimates actually say 5’7" (1.70m)). During Bonaparte’s time average male height in France was 5’4" (1.62m) so he was actually taller than average by a tiny bit.
