      I mean, yeah? From what I’ve seen of Mark he seems super nice to anyone and supports everyone. The vid of the kid (fan) that won’t let go of hugging him cracks me up, Mark just calmly interviewing all the while, unphased 😂.

        Whether people like his videos or not is irrelevant. He has done a lot for lots of causes and he genuinely appears to wish everyone the best. It isn’t a stunt. Over the years he’s put his actions where his words are to prove that he cares.

        I don’t watch him as much as I used to, but whenever I do or hear something about him, that much hasn’t changed.

    Holdup, is my 1.78m height (according to Google that’s his height) is considered short now?! (Starting from 2018…)

      Depending on your country. In the Netherlands it’s below average. Also he isn’t saying he is short, just not tall.

        😭

        Well, in my interpretation un-something means the opposite of that something. Like unfair or unhappy. If somebody is unhappy that doesn’t mean they are of average happiness, it means they are sad. Therefore, untall means short.

          Average happiness would still be happiness. Unhappy would be not happy, but not necessarily sad either. There’s lots of different ways to be unhappy other than being sad. Unfair just means something isn’t fair. But something being fair is often treated as a binary. Tall and short isn’t a binary, so simply not being tall doesn’t mean something is short. But in the context of a joke like this, I’d assume “not tall” would be used to be as a comedic understatement.

          Well there you go. He feels short in comparison. I’m the same height as you btw, and definitely not tall here. But maybe it is where you are.
