  • As a non participant who has never gotten it, people are more than welcome to do things I don’t get, but I’ve tried to get my head around it and I don’t think there’s really any specific criteria. If you call yourself a furry, you’re a furry and what that means varies quite widely from person to person. Some kind of association with anthropomorphic aminals seems to be the only criteria and even then I’m not sure how strict that is.








  • I’d say it’s one of those things where it’s gendered by implication. I’ve for sure heard in Jr High using the term ‘gossip’ instead of ‘talking shit’ was a means of emasculation. Men gossip for sure, but they never call it gossip, where women simply conversing with each other without men present has often been assumed to always be gossip and has been kind of an umbrella term for women speaking to one another casually whether it would otherwise count as gossip or not. There would never be a show called Gossip Guys.


  • Directions are a double edges blade for me. I either overthink the instructions because they’re usually written by kitchen workers in my case who are fucking awful at sentence structure or writing clearly. We have one recipe in the book where the measurements are in cups, liters, and grams on one recipe. You weigh out your ingredients while inventing a thing and then the next time you do it you convert those weight measurements into something that doesn’t need a scale for each ingredient so it can be done fast, when you do you try to stick to as consistent units as possible, at least don’t use measurements of volume and weight in the same recipe. I’m crazy strict about how recipes should be written down. On the other end I am Mr Eyeballs, I will pour liquid and count instead of measuring it out after getting a feel for a recipe and change stuff whenever I feel like it and not bother writing it down. I’m the only one at work who knows how to make 3 things cause I’ve changed the recipe so much. That being said, the arrogance is entirely earned cause it’s never led to things turning out wrong. For diy stuff I just kinda throw myself at it and figure it out myself, I find that more fun than doing research sometimes. I am a hilarious carpenter but I build fucking sturdy









  • I could probably help you out a bit with older fire emblems, haven’t played any since awakening. I just did an fe7 run where I absolutely stomped, there is a lot of really counter intuitive things that can help you out. One big one is that having a balanced team is for suckers. For the most part mounted units are just objectively better than anything else, focus on cavaliers and flyers, try to use your healer and dancer every turn for the exp even if you don’t need the effect, archers are completely useless. Also don’t wait until a unit is level 20 before promoting, I’d go closer to 15 for most units, if they’re a healer promote at 10 so they can use offensive magic and gain more exp than they would just healing at a lower class. It’s usually more of a baiting game, you get most of your kills on the enemy phase.
