We’ve turned into a Hive, things are getting serious.

Try orthopedic insoles or something. I used to put them in my sneakers; my feet hurt terribly, but then it got better, and I got used to them.

Nah, man, I gave up on that too. I had those insoles, and they rubbed my foot so badly that I could barely walk afterward. No, thanks, I'd rather be a little shorter, but at least my feet are comfortable.

And in general, Lock, I realized something here. Height, weight, and all that – it's something transcendental. It hardly depends on anything at all. You can really want to grow taller, eat well, exercise, and still not grow. That's it. And some people smoke, drink, and eat poorly, and they still grow tall. I've read a ton of literature, a bunch of advice – it's all nonsense. It might help, or it might not. Science hasn't even gotten to that point yet because no one even knows how the brain works properly.

For example, Lock. Volleyball player Musersky. He grew to be 219 centimeters tall. I read that he started playing volleyball at 8 years old. It seems understandable. But on the other hand, gymnasts also jump incredibly high, but they are almost all short. There. How do you explain that?

Or, take billionaires. There are so many examples. Bill Gates, Zuckerberg – they are all short, let's say. But they have so much money that I can't even imagine it. And yet they are short. And there are so many smart people who are also short. And there are also tall smart people.

Or, I read about Napoleon. He wasn't that short for his time, but he was completely crazy. Or Peter the Great. He was quite tall, but he was also kind of crazy.

There are so many things that are unclear. For example, everyone is obsessed with Shaq. Shaq, shaq, shaq, shaq. But, by the way, he's not the only one with that height and weight; I saw someone almost the same in a magazine, but he looked like a homeless person. It's also unclear. I had a friend who was 198 centimeters tall. He played basketball, but now he's in a mental hospital. That's the whole story.

Damn, the magazine was closed on Steam, can you imagine? What a mess.
