i don't know. From a very young age it's drilled into us that we don't trust strange adults, and that on the internet there might be people who are older than they say they are who mean us harm. It's not an unreasonable thing to be afraid of.
i feel like, tumblr, it's a little like Facebook, right? On Facebook you don't just friend random teens you don't know, an adult who did that would be creepy. Except tumblr is also a blog host, and there has never been a rule that says only certain people are allowed to read blogs.
in meatspace i am continuously reminded that i am supposed to be an adult, and then i come on here every day and there's like a bunch of people who sound to me like they've lived longer, fuller, wiser lives than me and they're younger than me. i'll never be that age again.
i know this is weird stuff to say. if i'm creeping anyone out, tell me.
It seems rather arbitrary that "I identify as a woman even though I'm physically male" is something Tumblr users would accept but "I identify as 13 even though I'm physically an adult" would not get the same response

i suppose there not being a way to de-age a person, or a mind, to state the obvious
thing is if there were no such thing as sex-change operations i wouldn't think transgender was therefore meaningless since gender isn't a physical attribute
but then when it comes down to it, what is time? we see its effects all around us, but when we're talking about aging time affects different people at different rates

I feel like the "File Explorer" link in the Start menu is where the "All Apps" link should be.
At least, I keep clicking it thinking it's the "All Apps" link.
Also the insistence on abbreviating "Apps" instead of spelling out "Applications" is mildly annoying because there's plenty of room for the full word but they want to sound "hip"
This is going to sound dumb but i would imagine there's a lot of people for whom 'apps' is just the word and they wouldn't know 'applications' referred to the same thing.

...point. This is the operating system that called its new web browser "Edge" so people who look for a blue lowercase e to get to "The Internet" wouldn't be confused, so...

This sounds stupid, I guess, but I feel like I shouldn't dismiss it as impossible forver?
Because, like, wouldn't that rule out pretty much every otherkin thing? It's not currently possible to change your species or become a fictional character...

Pet peeves: App(lications) that don't have a "Quit" or "Exit" menu option, leaving the X in the corner as the only way to exit the app.
Like, it seems to equate "closing the app's last window" with "quitting the app" and maybe it's the years of Mac use but that bothers me on some level.

Sometimes I'm inclined to believe that nothing is really impossible and it's just a matter of nobody having figured out how to do it yet.

well . . . yeah
that isn't possible, and there's no obvious way for it to become possible
otherkin are just people who feel a particular way, that says nothing about what's physically possible

I feel weirdly unfulfilled now.
What am I doing with my life? Why do I even need to have a life, as such? I'd rather not.
I dunno I guess I can't really relate to a desire to be "fulfilled". I've always just sort of gone with the flow, usually whatever my mom pressures me into doing.
Which is, I suppose, indicative of a weak will and general inability to do anything by myself. But I don't even know what I'd want to do if I could.
I feel unsatisfied with my life but I think satisfaction is in the cards on account of my being reasonably intelligent and attractive and having the cutest boofrond in the universe

It feels like, I dunno...first of all, I resent that I only have a limited life span to work with, and even then I feel like I'm not really doing anything with it. The only thing I've done since Anonus left that actually made me feel happy was sitting around roleplaying a magic boarding school student with my friends, and I don't have anything to show for that except a few hours' worth of IRC logs.

On an unrelated note, I hate having the only functioning printer in the house.
Because if Dad asks me to print something for him, and I foolishly say yes, he won't just wait around for me to get to it on my own time, he'll literally stand over my shoulder until I plug in the printer and get whatever it is he wants.
At some point I'm going to move out and he's just going to have to get his own damn printer.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
What you're missing is that you can't turn back the clock. And if you could, a lot of people wouldn't trust you. Truth is arbitrary, feelings of safety are illusions, but these are illusions that matter a lot to people. We rely on these illusions to make sense of the world.
Honestly, whatever age you want to be is not my business. I didn't even know about it until today. What is my business is the other kids you might hurt in your spite and anger.

I fail to see how calling myself "a 13-year-old in a 25-year-old's body" or whatever silly description I'm coming up with will hurt kids
I am fairly certain Lin is talking about the "dick move" stuff mentioned yesterday? Unless I'm off.
Edit: As an aside, it feels me with a little bit more of my already sizable frustration every time I feel the need to, or like I should, preface/addend my comments with stuff like "Unless I'm off."

Alright.
For the record I don't actually do the spite-following thing. I was basically just venting about a practice that annoyed me.
A dreadful waste. Everybody knows you're supposed to take a thread when you're dungeoneering. Maybe even two. Leaving them on the floor, why, I've never seen something so despicable.

substitute whatever species-neutral term you prefer
it depends how you define 'person'

i'm pretty sure i only 'need to have a life' in the sense that my living is a necessary cause of my being, as opposed to there being a dead particle
