I'm years ahead of myself, trying to catch up.

This blog is occasionally NSFW and contains: Pretty much anything that I found remotely funny or held my attention for over five seconds.

Gather round kids while I explain this manipulation tactic that men perpetually try to use and why it’s bullshit.

If someone is openly showing interest in you by making disparaging or disappointed comments about your age, they’re trying to put you on the defensive. This guy wants me to try to quell his discomfort, to bring up that I’m only a month shy of 20, etc. - he wants me to try to prove myself to him, that I’m mature and adult enough for a man like him.

His goal is to establish a power imbalance right off the bat. If we were to date, I would constantly be on the defensive, constantly striving to be an equal, constantly trying to prove my “adult” credentials. Anything he says or does or wants from this point on that I object to would just be seen as a strike against my age, proof that he was right and that I’m not mature enough for him. This is how SO MANY men pressure younger individuals (primarily women and girls) into situations and relationships they aren’t comfortable with. If he truly thought I was too young for him, he wouldn’t have messaged me. This is a very calculated move, and it’s fucking gross.

Adult relationships with age gaps are completely fine, but only if all parties view each other as equals. If someone is trying to set you up in a way that ensures that’s never a possibility, run far away.

Reblogged for the commentary.

[fuckyeahsexeducation]

This is really important because I think that educating about power imbalances and how to spot that manipulation is a lot better than saying “young people don’t date older people”. I had people use this kind of tactic on me when I was 18/19 as well and it is really damaging.

It’s grooming and it’s disgusting. Stay safe out there babes and don’t fall for the bullshit.

“You’ve been acting more autistic”

I find that many autistic kids diagnosed in their late teens and early twenties go through this same experience with their parents so I have come up with a counter-argument. 

Parent: “You’ve been acting more autistic since you started researching it.” 

Autistic kid: “It may seem like that to you, but for me, it has been easier. You see many kids and adults on the spectrum undergo a mentally harmful and painful experience known as masking. It involves hiding your autistic traits and acting more neurotypical to avoid ostracisation and bullying.”

Parents: “Uhm, then why is it bad.”

Autistic kid: “Now you’re asking the real questions. The reason it’s bad is that the side effects of masking include, autistic burnout - which may really make me act more autistic because symptoms include lack of energy, decrease in social skills and even result in me going non-verbal -, a feeling of being fake, increased risk of depression. It can make us question whether our friends are friends with us for the real us or the masked us. Parents: “Well why did you start masking”  Me: “Because I was being bullied, because I didn’t know what is wrong with me so I started forcing myself to learn to act normal”

Parents: “ Then why are you only stopping now”

Me: “ As I’ve learned about autism, about me, I’ve started to realise that I am not as broken, as messed up as I was before. I’ve started trying to stop masking. And slowly but surely I’ve been allowing myself to act how I truly am and have found friends who have cared for me rather than some cover I have set up.

Parents: “Oh ok then. Thanks for explaining it to us.”

Thank you for coming to this episode of conversations that only happen in my head because my parents, whenever I bring this up, get angry with me and say that I just want to make things seem worse for myself and that if I was living in a township I would see how lucky I actually am. I hope this is helpful to you.

ah yes i was looking for a soap dispenser labeled “ketchup” with a picture of grapes

[artenega]

I really want this bottle in my bathroom. I’d place it next to matching decorative soaps and towels as if it seems like it fits, but I’ll actually fill the thing up with ketchup. So when I have guests over and they decide to use the bathroom, they will see this bottle and have a moment of cognitive dissonance, “This [Soap Bottle] in the [Bathroom] is labelled [Ketchup], so surely it must dispense [Soap] instead of [Ketchup] despite the label saying [Ketchup] right?” and then let them have a moment of realization followed by abject horror as they pump viscous ketchup all over their hands instead of soap

I BURST OUT FUCKING LAUGHING OMG

[tokupedia]

This whole bankruptcy thing was a money making scam by the suits who bought out the company back in the 2000s and ran it into the ground. 

Not only is the toy store brand not dead, but 30,000 people are now angry as this scheme blocked them out of severance pay and they are now unemployed and unable to return to work when they start up again.

Many toy companies including Hasbro are raising eyebrows at this, as the initial bankruptcy cost them millions of dollars in sales revenue and their stocks took a nasty hit (Mattel being the worst off from it, as Toys R Us closing compounded with steadily falling sales of their products). Advocates are calling this a “bad PR stunt” since the suits want the company to make sales for the holidays. 

Hopefully, this will cause enough of a stink to kill it off for good. I’d rather say goodbye Geoffrey as I knew him than have him come back as a reanimated corpse controlled by greedy hucksters who put thousands of people out of work for no other reason than to line thier own pockets and escape the consequences of their own failings.

This one of the most disgusting things I’ve seen done by any company in years 

[mrevergood]

Seriously. Share this. Impact sales. I wanna see Toy’s R Us driven in the ground for this shit-fucking hard. No mercy, just good old fashioned, cutthroat capitalism where the market says “FUCK YOU” in bright neon letters…just like the greedy fucks who orchestrated this whole thing like-except they won’t like it when the “FUCK YOU” sign is for them.

reblogging because I think there needs to be more notes and more people comfortable with the idea that adulthood is a lie.
