I often talk about reality checking and going along with it when helping someone deal with delusions, but I felt as if I didn’t really make it clear to what I meant when I said it.

Recently I saw a post similar to “how to sneakily give your delusional friend a reality check when they told you not to” and honestly, that’ll just make us lose trust for you. Because we can tell when you do that.

Willy Wonka could run Aperture Science and GLaDOS could run the Chocolate Factory. And both would get an adequate amount of sadistic glee from it as their usual roles would give.

The James Webb Space Telescope spotted a chain of 20 galaxies, dubbed the Cosmic Vine, which stretches 13 million light-years across and dates back to just 3 billion years after the Big Bang.

You have to play portal if you haven’t played it yet thats NOT okay portal 1 is like 4 hours and portal 2 is like 7. How much time do you spend every week scrolling social media. Ok now replace that with thinking with portals. Guess what you just played two 10/10 games and it’s not even Sunday

If we were bugs, a lot of you would be bees. The kind of bees that keep bonking into the same person over and over again because you just can't wrap your head around the concept that this mammal is not a flower. Extremely confused about things I would have assumed would be obvious to someone whose entire survival depends on being able to correctly identify a flower, or at least tell a plant and mammal apart, but somehow it's apparently not that simple and somehow you still continue to survive.

Somewhere out there is an American couple unwittingly deciding to have the most problematic and unintentionally uncomfortable costly wedding full of the groom's friends making jokes about how the poor man is being forced into this and boomer level 'ol' ball and chain' jokes about the bride, with one of those wedding cake toppers of her forcibly dragging him or something, while the bride's mother is going apeshit with being determined to arrange the most aesthetic scenic wedding with a gilded Antebellum South theme, held at a rented historically significant former plantation, entirely neglecting to remember that the groom is black.

Randomly remembered childhood pet peeve: when adults would just decide that something you said as a joke or didn't mean as a serious thing was actually something else. And then won't let you tell them that it was a joke.

Like the fuck do you mean, "no it wasn't"? You don't get to decide what someone else's intentions were or what they meant with what they said. Oh fucking excuuuuse me that you decided that something lighthearted that I only meant as something silly and goofy to say was actually a mean-spirited snide remark about your rampant alcoholism. That I would somewhy decide to bring up randomly out of the blue to slam dunk the mood in the whole house into the ground just when everything was chill for once. Why the fuck would I even bring it up like that, I'm eight years old.

A little thing I've noticed about very specific certain multiplayer games where the players are supposed to inhabit a "blank slate" player character to act as their vehicle of interaction it usually comes in one of 3 flavors.

1) completely generic white guy.

2) a person fully garbed head to toe showing absolutely no skin and they tell you isn't gendered but is still given a fully masculine body with no option to alter its shape

3) something not even really recognizable as a human. More of a approximation of something with two arms, two legs, a head and (maybe) a face.

All of them will generally share the trait that differentiated your blank slate from other players is done via dressing them up with clothes colors or accessories.

Generally this doesn't get remarked upon at all by people playing the game.

And then there's Satisfactory where there are numerous people on the community page saying that they loved the gameplay but are bothered by the fact that unlike other games the devs of this one made their "blank slate" player-character models all explicitly women but also not super femininely rail-thin.

And a bunch of guys don't know how to cope with being not only "forced" to play as a girl but also one that isn't really designed to be sexy.

I dunno, I just think it's neat.

while I don’t agree with that referring to men in their 30s-early 40s as “old man yaoi”, I UNDERSTAND why many people who primarily consume honest-to-goodness BL manga are quicker to call it that, because there is just such poor representation for men that aren’t hairless dehydrated 20-something twunks. They’re wrong, but I get why it happens.

I also understand that “middle-aged yaoi” isn’t as fun to say as “old man yaoi”, even when it’s more technically accurate.

So I would like to propose new vocabulary: Grown Ass Yaoi. yaoi that’s grown ass men. they’re not old but they’re not young adults either. you get me? Grown Ass Yaoi
