And it can also be like, if they are aware you're gay, then they're thinking. well of course he doesn't care, he's gay. But it's like. No my sexuality is not the problem. I would be equally uncomfortable if I was a straight dude or if you were a 15 year old boy instead of a girl. The problem is that you are a child and adult men (no matter how young, even if they've only been an adult for a few months) should not be interested in you!

I think probably one of the most uncomfortable things in the world is if you're a guy and your little sister has friends that are a few years younger or your friends have little sisters that are a few years younger you can pretty much guarantee at least one has a crush on you, or at least they distribute most of the guys in your friend group between themselves, and it's like, no matter how uncool and weird and ugly and gross you are it happens anyway.

Like maybe you are older and a bit taller and more mature or calm than guys their age but that is literally IT so I'm not sure where it comes from. And it is like, they are so blatant, but you cannot acknowledge it in ANY way even to tell them to stop or you're a creep who's seeing it because you WANT it to be there when it's like no I'm literally gay I'm just not comfortable with this 15 year old girl texting me just to say hi.

Like really the only thing you can do is be kind of distant but polite and hope that you're modelling appropriate behaviour so when they're a little older and know a little more they can tell when older men are taking advantage of them because it's NOT how a safe person acts, but you also can't really be a safe person or give advice on the topic because they will probably get super upset and embarrassed and lash out. + do your best to NEVER EVER be alone with them + NEVER come out of your room after 8 pm when they're having sleepovers with your sister.

And it is like, I know the reason teenage girls get crushes on older guys is because they need a safe way to work out feeling stuff like that in a safer situation where they subconsciously know he's unavailable and it's never going to be reciprocated so they're safe from him. But THEY don't know that. And it's normal development and doesn't actually mean shit about you except for that you're around and out of bounds in some way. (also they'll probably look back in 5 years and be like ew what the hell was I thinking?) but for now it's just like aieeee can you be a little more self-aware please? But they can't because they are young. Agh

Unloading a dishwasher someone else loaded is a good way to make you question if everyone else in your house is an idiot

The dumbest things totally break immersion for me. I was reading an online sci fi story thing where a human gets a job on an alien spaceship and they tell him that they run in 36 hour shifts — 12 hour nights and have one day off per [space] week and this man was horrified. Like humans can't do that and we can only work for 8 hour shifts and also we need 2 days off a week. This character is supposed to be a doctor. It was instantly like

Fucked up how humanity discovered electricity and radiation and made machines and learned to make airplanes and cured diseases and our takeaway isnt that "Some Magic Is Real And Here's Why", but that magic is fake this is big boy science and it's totally not magical

kinda sick of all those posts that are like "my ancestors were surviving starvation and the plague meanwhile i get nervous ordering food at restaurants". as if jauffrey the woodworker didn't fumble his conversation with the fine maiden running the fruit stand and then tripped on a pebble as he left in a hurry

I love when fiction makes the audience feel guilty about their role as the audience. When something fucked up is treated as a joke but later it's recognised how fucked up it was and the audience feels guilty for finding it funny. When a character breaks the fourth wall to plead for help, and you can't do anything so you just watch. And you know that the characters pain isn't real, but they're begging for help and you're not helping because their suffering is entertainment for you
