For sure it's likely either a learned helplessness or a passive indifference. People like to give up before they even try.

Until it is mentioned (often afterwards), how would one know the person is neurodivergent? Is it fine to correct someone making those mistakes who are neurotypical?

I think how the correction is made is the differing factor, because you can never have complete information about the people you reply to on a platform like this.

On the other side, there is definitely a time and place to correct people for simple mistakes, especially if you still understand what they mean. Replying to someone asking for help in a matter is probably not one of those times. Replying to someone pointing out other mistakes or lack of knowledge, I think, is a fine place to make corrections (respectfully).

Especially if no one is called out by name and insults aren't being used.

You would be surprised how many people are unable to do that, who are physically capable of doing it.

"Don't you know who I am?!"

"Yeah, the guy who was going to be my boss starting next week. Goodbye, don't call back."

Usually convenience if you're on a computer and already have a browser open.

But even then half the time I pull my phone out to use the calculator app instead. And I don't think I've ever used a browser as a calculator while on my phone.

I got divorced from a 10+ year relationship in my late 20s, and then had a nasty, bad breakup from my first relationship after at 30. I had a small group of friends that stuck around, but lost many in the process of each breakup.

I never really kept in touch with people from highschool and earlier, though, so I can't comment on them

Things do get better. At 35 I'm now in a better relationship than I ever had before. I have new friends and new circles. A new chapter in my life was started, and things are better than they ever have been before.

I don't know if this will work for you, maybe it doesn't work out sometimes. But guys can, and do, recover from it.

It is how vets work. Just call a different vet and ask them if it sounds extreme. They might not have a definitive answer without having seen your cat in person, but will still know better than a bunch of randos on the internet!

Ventrilo would like a word as well

I absolutely hate this, but can't deny that it's accurate

If you were a non-steam gamer you'd have a little extra work cut out for you, but steam literally runs natively

 

Hello, everyone!

Recently I've watched a few tutorials on how to make a fursuit head, and have decided that's it's a project I want to take on myself! I've never owned a fursuit before, not have I worked on anything this detailed of a craft in the past. Some simple cosplays that took minimal alterations from base materials, basic sewing and clothing repair, that sort of thing. But I took up painting miniatures several years ago and made good progress by taking my time and being patient with myself; I figured I could do the same here!

Does anyone have any tips for someone working with shaping foam for the base, or tricks for working with the faux fur once I get to that point? I'd love to hear of other people's journeys, as well! I plan to share pictures of my progress as the head starts taking shape.
