If your dad draws anthro artwork frequently, and has been for a while, then he probably already knows what furries are. He might not be one, but I'd bet he has at least an understanding if he's involved in any online art communities at all.

The furry fandom has definitely gone through a renaissance within the last decade, but it's been around since the 90s and earlier.

Sounds too political to me /s

Perhaps the gravity head should be a snail then

That's what I figured. If it was raining over the clear part of the river, I'd assume all the runoff from the land around it would make it muddy as well. The heavy storm is probably up river and washing all the muddy water down, until it gets blocked by the beaver dam.

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.

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!
