The defining aspect of Therian or Otherkin was that (when I paid attention to the hilarious arguments), like transgender individuals, they believe they are genuinely the 'other' that they are transitioning to and are stuck in human bodies, while furries just want to be that 'other,' whatever it is.

As a treat for being against them commies?

They just wanted to make sure you know they are running together and exercising appropriately as good examples for America!

Ole Sharkey never did get them damn Gamgees.

Why not just do the prosleeper thing, and use the fitted sheet like a sleeping bag? Let the elastic bits cocoon you snugly by pulling the left and right sides over each other. You could put the pillow outside of the cocoon, and have the elastic bit on your neck if you like a little scratch on it at night, but I prefer the pillow to be pulled lightly into the back of my head for ultimate sheet snuggles.

That IS the ultimate goal. I've talked to these sorts of people (the maga, love trump crowd) for years in areas where they feel comfortable being 'open' about what they want. They really do want an entirely homogeneous, thinks exactly like them country of people.

The others already gave the reasons, but let me put some numbers to those answers. When I jump out of a plane, I get about a minute of freefall. That's because terminal velocity for skydivers usually is ~115-135mph, or 200ft/s. That speed comes when you're flying on your belly, putting about as much drag as possible in the wind. If you're in other positions, like head down or feet down, you can get going much faster (record for head down is over 300mph).

At ~120mph, the jolt from pulling a parachute is pretty good. We use specially designed rigs to actually slow the parachute's opening, so the jolt isn't terrible. When the designs don't work, it can cause injury or even death. That head down record I mentioned earlier? If you pulled at that speed, you are almost guaranteed to suffer major injury. It's why we recommend that skydivers DO NOT learn to do so until they are pretty experienced. There are even more specialized rigs to fly in those positions that ensure accidental deployments of the parachute are next to impossible while at those speeds.

Now, to have a stable orbit in space, relative velocity is vastly larger than even in freefall. If I remember, it's closer to 20,000mph (I think the ISS crew experience a 'sunrise' every 75 minutes). In order to get anywhere close to the safe parachute-pulling speed of ~120mph, you'll need to slow down a lot. Unfortunately, doing so is going to create (transfer if we're being physics specific) a great deal of energy in the form of heat, which will far exceed what they can safely handle. Don't forget that 2003's shuttle accident was because of damage to the heat shield of the shuttle, compromising its ability to keep heat from the crew compartment.

Learning to swim in a pool with a shallow end isn't too difficult for an adult. Just don't pay attention to assholes or give up because it doesn't come naturally.

Watch a video or two to learn the motions (breast stroke is easiest, but freestyle or side crawls are also good to start with), then just get in the pool (shallow end, please). Start by crouching down to the level of your mouth, and breathing through your nose. Become comfortable with water near your mouth.

Then dip your nose into the water and blow out through it at the same time (blowing bubbles). You'll quickly get the hang of holding pressure in your airways so that water doesn't enter when you dive below the surface. Once you get to that point, start laying face down in the water. You don't even have to be stiff, or try to swim, just get used to having your back towards the sky. Finally, after the 20 minutes this will probably take you, start trying to mimic the motions on the videos you watched. Again, ignore the feeling that you suck at this, because everyone sucks at it when starting. You're just an adult, so you realize how bad you are at the beginning, just like when learning a new instrument. With an hour or so of attempts, you'll have a pretty good idea of how to move around the pool.

I'm just positing here, but maaaaaybe she doesn't want to open the can of worms with spells targeting external hair.

Didn't they add the option to make games private because people made this complaint? The issue now is on family accounts and not seeing it, because there you still can. I don't need to know what my family is into, thank you very much.
