I’m trying to make Gumby costume for halloween but am lost on how to make the mask. I’m a beginner and have no idea about fabrics. I need something with structure so the head stands up but all i can think of is fleece or neoprene and those seem to thick and it would make it unbearably sweaty in there. Anyways, are there any suggestion for fabrics to make the costume head or something structural that I can line it with?

I know this happened a long time ago but even with years of people talking about it i don’t understand. The only thing i could find was that he made a comment about not liking “sterek” but I didn’t think it was homophobia at all. If you look up exactly what he said there’s nothing homophobic. I guess it could be taken as homophobia in the right context but he’s spoken so much about supporting lgbtq+ people so he’s obviously not meaning it in a homophobic way. My mind immediately went to the age gap or just the fact that stiles and derek obviously hate each other. I think people also get way too into these fictional relationships too which fueled the hatred when Posey showed distain for their beloved “sterek”. And as an lgbtq+ person his support and normalization of lgbtq+ has honestly made me so happy. To me it feels homophobic when people think you shouldn’t say anything negative about a homosexual relationship or queer person because that implies that there is something wierd/wrong about being lgbtq+ and it should be treated as a hush hush topic. You can have a bad gay relationship just like you can have a bad straight relationship. He’s not dissing “sterek” because it’s a gay relationship he’s dissing it because it’s a bad relationship for other reasons. I just want gay relationships to be treated just like straight relationships because there is no fundamental difference.

So i’m sure most of us have heard about the X-2 thing and if not, please go and look it up. I’ve been dreaming of riding X-2 for years but now, i don’t think so… I’ve heard increasing numbers of stories like this and in my own experience at Great America in Gurnee the rides have been getting so rough. Came off the Demon with a bump on the side of my head from the ride jerking and slamming my head into the ride of the car and also a pretty bad headache and neck pain. That ride has definitely given some people concussions and if i didn’t have such a thick skull it probably would’ve given me one. Same with X-flight, bad neck and back pain from how rough and jerky these rides are which is crazy because a few years ago x-flight was so smooth i could fall asleep on it. I don’t know if it’s just me getting older and crispier but i don’t think it is.

Her emotion is so genuine and I just can’t get over how believable her acting is. She also portrays a teenager so well compared to lots of other adults.

I’m very small and have a hard time finding gear that fits so i’ve been looking at kids gear and was wondering if this is protective enough for the road. I realize it’s not abrasion protection so i will wear something over it of course but i was wondering mainly if the back was okay for the road. I’m a beginner and am not planning on going very fast and am staying off the highway.

I’m 92lbs so very small and I’m also very lanky so it’s hard to find anything that fits. Adult life jackets just feel too big so I usually wear a kids 50-90lbs life jacket which works well for tubing and other boating things but people seem to be very particular about life jackets so I was wondering which is better, having a life jacket a bit too big or having a life jacket that I’m slightly too heavy for?

I’m a very good swimmer by the way and I’m not really worried but I was ma just wondering what experts opinions are.

They make pants that fit you, so why don’t you get the right size or at least wear underwear so you don’t leave butt prints on public seating.

Before you read I’d like you to keep in mind when reading this that my point is this could be a factor to considered when diagnosing EDS and I am not saying that this is a test that determines for sure whether you have EDS or not. A lot of people are mistaking this.

So we all know that the more hypermobile you are, the more muscle you use to keep yourself together. And when you use your muscles you produce ATP to fuel them and a most of the energy from ATP ends up as heat energy. Therefore, the more hypermobile you are, the hotter you are. So, maybe by assessing body heat when doing and exercise (for example, measuring your temperature after 500 steps in 70°) weeks can create another factor for estimating hypermobility severity and help diagnose hEDS. Of course there are other factors that would affect this and make it inaccurate to use this alone do diagnose EDS or measure hypermobility but this could possibly be used along side these beighton test as another factor to consider when diagnosing EDS. I know people with EDS tend to struggle with heat regulation so there’s already evidence that might be a factor to consider. I also thought that possibly our skin difference could affect sweat production since I don’t sweat that much and I highly struggle with heat but that’s more just speculation through correlation. I’m not a scientist or have any formal biological education but my my brain is always running at a million miles an hour and I happened to go on a learning rabbit hole on this and made this conjecture. So what are your thoughts?

I’m a long time skier with eds and i’ve never come across better inserts than the custom ones the ski boot fitter made. Better than my orthotics that were custom made by a doctor. The one i went to did custom superfeet inserts that were magical in my ski boots and in my shoes. Just bring the footbed from whatever shoes you will be wearing them in the most and i’m sure the people at the ski shop would be happy to make you some whether you are wearing them in your shoes or in your boots. They obviously won’t be covered by insurance but we paid less for them than custom orthotics that I got through a doctor (after insurance) and especially less after the many referrals i had to go through to get them. Anyways, boot fitters know their stuff and i highly recommend asking if they could do custom footbeds if yours aren’t working very well.

The list is fairly short right now as i have just started making it. I’m looking for cultural significant and popular “right of passage” movies. Here is my list so far:
◦ Scream
◦ Beetlejuice (the WHOLE thing)
◦ kill bill
◦ kill bill 2
◦ scooby doo (live action)
◦ scooby doo 2 (live action)
◦ heathers
◦ ET
◦ Riverdale season 2
◦ SLC Punk
◦ Claire | The Documentary (on youtube on Claire Wineland’s youtube channel)
◦ Alien
◦ Ghostbusters
◦ Ghostbusters 2
◦ The breakfast club
◦ Pulp Fiction
◦ Jurassic park
◦ The first season of Scooby Doo Where are you?

Claire Wineland’s documentary is kind of niche so if you haven’t seen it i highly recommend you doing so.

If god controls everything, why would innocent people suffer. Why would god drive children to suicide, give people lifelong disabilities/illnesses, let unfit parents have children, and the list goes on and on. I’ve heard that god has to give bad things to people so he gives them to the strongest people but that would mean there’s a power higher than that god. A god of god. And then we just have an exponential god of god scenario leading back to some asshole god.

And to the argument that god gave humans free will so it is humans’ fault: God created humans and how humans are so it is his responsibility. Sure, then it would just be god trying to do the right thing but it going wrong but then how come he doesn’t intervene and try to fix the bad things that were caused by humans getting free will. That’s just laziness and him being an asshole. And also, there are problems that aren’t caused by humans. The base level is “normal” so in the example of lifelong medical conditions which humans did not cause, god would have had to give that condition to this person before the person was even really a person yet. There is no way to justify that.
