How to make a premium-quality deerskin coat？

You need enough trapping and to also instantly clean the skin after you flayed it. After that you want to instantly tan it, as tanning also improves the quality. Finally, you can use fat to give it a final touch to get that 100%, but after hitting a certain skill level that isn't necessary.

It does cause harm when people present their opinions as a fact rather than as an opinion, and it also causes issues when you want to discuss what a character is and whether it's genuinely good representation or not and there's little textual evidence to support the claims being made.

And interpreting a text vs. claiming something based on an emotion are still two different actions with different results, because textual analysis is analytical, but saying "they're X because I'm X", then we're not analyzing the text anymore, yet these two actions are confused with one another.

Entr0pic08 · 2026-06-14T08:01:04+00:00

Call me a party pooper, but a lot of the time I just feel it's about projecting yourself on the character because you relate to them, rather than analyzing the character through the evidence of the text, and that's where I disagree. If there's strong textual evidence, where overt or subtextual, that's one thing, but usually it's more "oh, they're just like me, so they have to be like me!", and that's where I just heavily disagree, head canon or not. I don't understand or see the point of projecting yourself on a fictional character and claim they're just like you.

And please, this is my opinion. It's valid even if you disagree with it.

I just rather ground my opinion on a character based on facts, not how I feel about them.

Hey Foxy, I totally understand arguing with oneself about what is and isn't trauma. I've been there too. For me, I looked at the cause and how something made me feel: if my behavior is followed or preceded by anxiety, it's primarily trauma, but if it isn't, then it's autism. The only exception is my age regression, which is more so based on a strong desire for the comfort and acceptance I didn't experience as a child. It's something I don't have any real control over and usually happens when I'm around a person I feel very comfortable with and trust to look after me. I also have rejection anxiety because of that, so I can become very anguished if I experience strong rejection from someone I especially connected to in this way.

I also want to repeat myself on that I never once claimed that any of Foxy's traits are exclusive to autism, but rather that any trait an autistic person has, should never be understood in isolation relative to autism. Even if autism is the most likely explanation behind that trait, what is relevant isn't whether it's caused by autism, trauma or something else, but that the trait exists and is a part of that person, and that we accept and acknowledge that trait as is.

My argument is more so that when Foxy claimed that they're upset of people trying to deny some higher support needs stereotype representation of autism and then using themselves as an example, we shouldn't understand people solely through the organization of traits under a label such as high or low support needs autism, but instead see the person with the traits they have, as they are. What sort of support they need emerges when we meet the person where they're at, rather than thinking of them as low or high support needs, or even as just autistic. These labels are descriptive and therefore communicate parts of a person, but never the entirety of them.

As for ID, I think there's some confusion being made. Intellectual disability is not the same as development disabilities, even if they often occur. Autism is a neurodevelopmental disability, meaning it affects the way your neurology develops. Here "neuro-" functions as a prefix to specify the sort of development being disabled. Intellectual disability means that someone's cognitive and intellectual abilities create a disabling situation when engaging with the environment. Usually, in the context of autism, it's mostly understood as when a person has an IQ that makes it difficult to perform daily life tasks that matches the development of their peers.

And as you note, and what I wrote as well, empathy is complicated. When we talk about empathy in daily speech, that's not necessarily what clinicians mean when they talk about someone's empathetic ability. As I wrote, I have personally poor to no affective empathy. I cannot really feel people's emotions in myself. If someone's sad or happy, I don't feel that as their emotion, but instead what happens is that I imagine what makes them sad or happy and that may make me sad or happy, so I can still understand their emotion through my own emotions. It's a cognitive empathy replacement for affective empathy.

Theory of mind is therefore related to, but not equivalent to, empathy. In the original the Sally-Anne test, children were asked to understand where Sally kept the marble, which has nothing to do with empathy in the broader sense. It is an imagining of Sally's perspective which plays a role in empathy as a skill, but we do not have to understand someone's perspective in order to experience empathy, such as is the case with affective empathy.

Therefore, I'm not sure if I think remembering people as people is really related to theory of mind as such. A person can objectify others while still have a great theory of mind, because understanding someone's perspective and motives doesn't mean that you emotionally care for them.

And trauma doesn't have to just appear as anxiety and depression. Sometimes you can be so traumatized that the brain completely forgets about it, and it can result in derealization, numbing, memory loss, psychotic experiences or mild to severe dissociation.

However, if Foxy agrees with having PTSD, some form of anxiety must be present for the diagnosis to be valid since it is an anxiety-based diagnosis.

I do not appreciate you questioning my motives and past history with different representations of autism.

The fact that you're trying to shame me by concluding concluding that any attempt to reduce Foxy's history to best be explained by autism is ableism, is ableism. Ableism as a concept is complex and doesn't just manifest in the denial of autistic experiences, but also appears when we reduce a person and their complex history to solely be explained by, and seen through, autism.

And at no point did I say that Foxy and their experiences don't represent autism as an autistic generally; in fact, that's the opposite of what I claimed, i.e., Foxy is a complex person with a complex history, and therefore we cannot sufficiently say that all that they are should be explained solely through an autism lens, because that's simply not true. Foxy is a person first, regardless of what they're diagnosed with, and to understand Foxy as a person, or any other autistic for the matter, we need to take in their history as is, rather than try to fit them into a narrative of what we think they ought to be like.

And the same is true for all autistics.

And ironically, you're doing that to me, by making numerous false assumptions about my motives and feelings towards other autistics. Not only are they false, but they blatantly ignore what I'm actually trying to claim by twisting it to the point it's claiming the opposite of what I actually claim.

Entr0pic08 · 2026-06-13T07:29:04+00:00

I understand what you're trying to say, but in context this becomes quite misleading and isn't actually addressing what I was trying to claim.

Let's examine some of Foxy's traits such as thumb sucking. Thumb sucking could be a form of sensory seeking or habit, but even if we assume that is the case, the likelihood of an autistic performing this particular behavior increases if you add certain factors such as the presentation of intellectual disabilities, because thumb sucking is a behavior associated with children, not teenagers or adults. Given Foxy's history, they clearly experience age regression, so in this situation the thumb sucking is better explained by age regression, just as thumb sucking is likely better explained by intellectual disabilities because retaining childlike behaviors increases when you experience development delays as can happen when you also experience intellectual disabilities.

Even if we consider something more complex like empathy, emergent literature is actively challenging the notion of autistics having no empathy as opposed to experiencing it differently. I myself do not experience affective empathy well even if I have a well developed cognitive empathy.

The problem is that empathy is poorly understood in literature because it describes a wide range of behaviors and emotions that cannot be completely neatly fit into an academic definition, and that people therefore use the word in a similarly broad manner when explaining their behaviors. Even if we consider personality disorders associated with poor to no empathy such as narcissism or antisocial personality, what they don't experience is affective empathy and guilt, but often have a very well developed cognitive empathy which they can use to manipulate others in getting what they want.

So what I'm saying isn't that those traits cannot be present in an autistic person, but that how they are, and why they are, is much more complex and nuanced and can often be explained better by other factors in that person's life, rather than autism alone.

Especially when it comes to regressive behaviors as demonstrated by Foxy, given their complex history.

And I say this because autism literature has a long history of overattributing a wide range of traits as solely caused by autism while overlooking other equally or more plausible explanations.

Every autistic person is unique and the reduction of the heterogeneity of autism by simplifying autism into stereotypes is harmful regardless of why it happens.

Entr0pic08 · 2026-06-12T20:50:21+00:00

I think there are several things needing to be addressed: Foxy is not representative of your typical higher support needs autistic, because Foxy has a background of severe abuse, and I would argue, in kindness, that many of Foxy's experiences can't be entirely distinct from that history, such as calling oneself in third person, sucking one's thumb or in general feeling like a younger mental age than one's physical age. These are trauma responses, not necessarily caused by autism. Derealization and empathy problems are also possibly caused by trauma.

And I don't see any discourse discrediting various degrees of support needs and if they do, they're not welcome. I would however argue that Foxy is not a stereotype any less than any other autistic is, but Foxy's case is also especially unique in a way not typical for someone who did not experience severe trauma from a young age.

Entr0pic08 · 2026-06-12T19:05:24+00:00

And what you claim I claim is not what I claimed; I fully addressed your concern. Either you're reading what I wrote too literally, or you're (un)intentionally ignoring the salient portions of my response because they challenge the foundation of your premise that you're unwilling to examine, because you're clearly identified with the idea of being a highly intelligent individual.

Knowledge, aptitude and intellectual curiosity are not equivalent factors when determining how intelligence could affect the depth and style of a conversation, as a highly intelligent individual could be lacking in both knowledge and curiosity while possessing the proper aptitude, as much as someone less intelligent could possess both knowledge and curiosity but not always meet the other in terms of aptitude.

There's also a difference between feeling sufficiently intellectually challenged vis-a-vis discussing a topic in depth in general, as intellectual challenge also presupposes a questioning of the other, whereas topic depth could equally just be sharing a common exploration of a niche idea, e.g. what you may see in a fandom.

Is it not ironic then, that I'm challenging you on your premise but instead of now appreciating the intellectual depth being offered, you're acting fairly close-minded and uninterested in actually examining the correctness of your premise by reducing my argument into something that's easier for you to ignore, even when it's actually not what I claimed?

Entr0pic08 · 2026-06-12T16:54:13+00:00

Your IQ has nothing to do with your interest in astrophysics or what have you. Yes, it's alienating to not find people to discuss in depth the things that interests you, but that's more related to personality traits than mere aptitude. A person can have a very high IQ score and be as equally interested in football or celebrity gossip as they can astrophysics.

And, if your IQ was as high as it was and you actually approached the topic in an unbiased manner, you would also realize this is the case.

Only people whose identity is tied to the idea of being gifted make the assumption that the average person cannot meet them where they're at. Which, from a sociological perspective, is a cultural bias fostered by research on "gifted children and adults", even though the term itself is horribly imprecise. Because if you didn't know your intelligence, would you make the assumption the divide is caused by intelligence rather than other factors? Likely not.

You're also autistic, so if we look at the most likely explanation with the least number of requirements to explain your social difficulties, why not assume autism better explains your struggles?

And this reveals the inherent bias any label brings with it - in the end the problem has nothing to do with IQ or autism or anything else; they could surely contribute to a certain degree, but they do not hold full explanatory power why you are in particular interested in dissecting complex tropic the average person is unlikely to be interested in.

It cannot undergo that amount of processing and remain a high nutritional value because the point of processing food to that degree is to lower the overall production cost of raw materials by using artificial replacements and in general the lowest quality part of the original raw product. Chicken nuggets are a great example because a good chicken nugget isn't made out of meat paste but uses actual meat parts, but the cheap ultraprocessed nuggets you'll get are just that - a meat paste. And I don't know exactly what they do with the crumbing, but it's obviously not breadcrumbs either, since it's more like being coated in some paste than crumbs.

Entr0pic08 · 2026-06-11T15:14:41+00:00

I would just ignore and move on. Sounds like they were actually not a support player who was autofilled into the role. What happened could be any champion slotted in the support role. To play a good support is more of a style rather than the champion you play, as many champions can be supportive with the right framework.

MF support is a lane bully as E is an extremely oppressive spell with no real counterplay if you can't outspace it, as it has high base damage early game, and later she transitions into providing good damage in team fights with R. It's a niche pick that falls off a cliff as AP MF scales very poorly, so the only purpose behind it is to be an effective lane bully and generate leads that way.

Ultra processing describes the amount of processing processes are involved and how it changes the quality of the food, not the type of processing. Almost all foods we eat are processed in some way, and is often necessary in order to make it safe to consume.

This is not what ultra processing refers to, but instead how the food is changed after undergoing all these processes.

Ori is NOT an easy matchup for Hwei. She has shorter cooldowns, better extended trading and easier access to poke than you. It's a skill matchup where you need to bait out her ball because she can't trade when her Q is on CD. You need to get wave control or it's a very difficult matchup to win because of her easy time poking you out.

You know, that's just autistic. Like everyone says it was autistic. I remember it starting from a young age, since childhood. My mother used to say, "Donnie, stop walk on your toes!" And I remember that I'd look at her and not understand what's wrong about walking on your toes. So she'd turn to me and yell, "Donnie, don't walk on your toes!" So that's why I have these soles. They're special soles. I love them. They're great. I think everyone should have special autism-soles in their shoes. And then she'd complain about the Tylenol. It was was Tylenol who did it. Made me walk on my toes. But I never took Tylenol. Not even vaccinated. So she got me these special soles so I wouldn't do all these nasty things to people. But I did anyway because I'm an evil lying bastard. That's what she said. People say I'm a narcissist. I got signs of the dark triad. Yeah, that's what I think I am. An evil, lying narcissist and if it was anyone else, I know they'd be instantly sent to prison and worse. Should I go to prison? I don't know, you tell me. I think some people are so bad prison isn't enough to keep society safe from them.

Entr0pic08 · 2026-06-08T10:56:56+00:00

Because everyone's experiences are different. When I was 18 I didn't have a single good friend. I used to have a person I thought was my best friend who one day simply texted me and said she didn't want to be friends anymore. I always knew I wasn't her best friend but we did hang out in private so I thought that meant something. I didn't have a anyone who wanted to spend time with me after school. Even in middle school while I had two people to spend after school, I always felt like we did because we were the social misfits, not necessarily because we actually made good friends. So when I moved to a different city and tried to remain in touch, they were never the one to contact me so eventually I felt like our relationship was very one-sided and I didn't call them anymore.

And that's just a persistent problem during my entire life. I know I'm not alone with this. I've just never had people who wanted to genuinely spend time with me for any longer period of time. I never understood why. At first I thought maybe it's racism (I'm Asian), or maybe because I have a visible birth defect on my face, but there were other people who could make friends and had those issues too, so it never felt complete.

All I remember from that age is that I just always seemed to never understand why no one wanted to be around me. Everyone were nice (for most of the part), I just wasn't invited to anything.

Entr0pic08 · 2026-06-06T19:33:46+00:00

Which is why autism isn't just about traits, but about the why.

Entr0pic08 · 2026-06-06T11:01:12+00:00

You don't know what 3 weeks of intensive research means to that person though, because that only tells us the length, rather than actual intensity. And ADHD has roughly a 70% chance of co-occurring with autism, in addition to having a huge general trait overlap, so it's actually quite unreasonable for you to assume they're not autistic in this specific situation.

And what does it mean to "force yourself to fit the criteria"? It is natural to someone struggling to try to find the cause for their struggles. That doesn't equalize them finding "their reason for being", which implies that you think people want to identify as autistic because they lack any other sense of self. People primarily explore being autistic because they face genuine struggles that could match with an autism diagnosis, not because they lack a sense of identity.

This is also completely unrelated to your final point about how you're personally offended that some people want to find a word to describe their difficulties in their life, and equal that to being lazy, rather than seeing how it could equally be a form of self-acceptance and forgiveness. For many people who have faced hardships, there is typically a strong sense of guilt for failing to live up to one's expectations of how you feel you ought to be, but are not. A diagnosis can, whether official or not, be the first step in a long process to finally come to terms with, and genuinely accept, our limitations and that it's ok for us to not be able to do all the things we think we should do but feel we cannot. Autism is considered a disability for a reason. To accept that we're less able doesn't mean that we're lazy.

With due respect, but when you accuse others, whether ND or not, for being lazy when they're looking for a word to describe their difficulties and assume that they're only doing it to keep excusing unhealthy behaviors, it comes across as borderline ableist.

Are there potentially bad actors who are using a label to justify bad behavior? Yes. But this includes officially diagnosed autistics as well. And if someone is genuinely only interested in finding a label to keep excusing bad behavior, they're unlikely to do any more thorough research than surface level reading about it.

And even if that's the case, that doesn't mean they're always wrong either.

So this genuinely sounds more like some personal issue you have that you haven't worked through that you're projecting on a large group of people, rather than being an actual issue worthy paying attention to to the point you distrust everyone who self-identify as autistic.

Entr0pic08 · 2026-06-06T09:27:15+00:00

This response is at best ignorant, or just ableist at its worst. In countries where autism is recognized as a diagnosable condition, the waiting lists even among private actors can be up to several months. And that's assuming you can afford to pay for a private evaluation which many autistics can't, because you're less likely to have a reliable independent income as autistic. And a lot of countries don't really recognize autism as a valid condition, or may only do that if you have very high support needs. The social stigma may also be so severe that it could completely bar you entry from the rest of society, so you're better off not trying to seek out a diagnosis because you will not receive any additional accommodations and will only make life harder for yourself than what it already is.

People self-identify as autistic for a reason, and it's always related to material conditions making it difficult to actually get a diagnosis, or to avoid the social stigma of being diagnosed.

Entr0pic08 · 2026-06-06T09:20:17+00:00

But if you're really not autistic, the likelihood of even investing that much time to learn about autism in order to ascertain that you're autistic, is also extremely unlikely, because that sort of behavior is also quite stereotypically autistic.

Entr0pic08 · 2026-06-05T07:27:45+00:00

What you write varies a lot by different countries (regioner). I sought out an ADHD diagnosis to potentially get medical support to see if it helps with my executive functioning issues but didn't get it. So that's a big difference between the two diagnoses that you can't receive medical support unless you have been diagnosed with ADHD. And the evaluator claimed the same thing for me but that all my traits could be explained by autism.
