    Wait, what? Am I understanding this correctly, they passed a law forbidding the sea to rise?

    defeating climate change by passing laws that state sea levels cannot rise.

    Oh, awesome! Designing your own patterns sounds really challenging. I made my mail carrier a scarf with Tunisian crochet for Christmas last year, and I want to make him matching gloves this year,...

    Don't we already do that with some of the AAA titles? For example, Battlefield titles usually run $60, and then you can buy a $20 or $30 'season pass' that let's you download all the DLC for free....

    Don't we already do that with some of the AAA titles? For example, Battlefield titles usually run $60, and then you can buy a $20 or $30 'season pass' that let's you download all the DLC for free. Basically the same thing, just in two different transactions. Which helps, by the way. People can save up sixty bucks for a game and then can decide when they have the extra money for the DLC, as opposed to being forced to pay it all at once.

    For the record, I don't like paying full price for games and I avoid it as much as possible.

    I'm curious about spinning yarn but I know I don't have time for it. I'll settle for supporting the people who do! Lol, thanks! We try to be pretty open about it. :) Good luck on your cowl scarf!

    Awww! What kind of critters/people do you make? I've been looking at amigurumi for a little bit and wondering if I would enjoy making them. I know I enjoy seeing the ones that others make!

    You're right, I forgot that autism is still classed as a disease. I was not referring to neurodivergent conditions in that category, as I don't consider them illnesses. I was referring more to things like depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, etc. And the reason why the word "better" was in quotation marks the first time was that some conditions, like BPD for example, can show improvement without necessarily being "cured". "Better" is a relative term, very subjective to whoever is using it, and I was using it quite literally to denote improvement rather than cure.

    Have you ever tried using a super lightweight yarn for a summertime project? I have some 4ply fingering weight that I'm about to use for a nice open shawl.

    It depends, honestly. People who have committed crimes because of "mental defect" can be forced into psychiatric facilities, where at the very least they can be made to stick to a medication regimen. And for some disorders (like bipolar or schizophrenia) the medication can allow a clarity that might result in the patient being more diligent in their therapy program. So there's a possibility.

    I don't think we have a drug yet that instills empathy, though.
