More or less, yeah.

Fabrics and polyurethane foam used to be the only options for fursuits, but this started shifting over the last 10 years or so. Some enterprising furries started molding components like teeth, claws, and noses from soft rubber materials, which experienced a brief renaissance before hard plastic 3d-printed parts started supplanting the more labor-intensive custom molded pieces.

At the time when this was posted, hard plastic parts had become common for new fursuits, but now that 3d printers can use TPU and other flexible materials, they've become the new standard. Many fursuit makers actually use this technique to print the whole frame of the fursuit head, making them more durable while also improving airflow over the old-style carved polyurethane foam head bases;

Our planet is scifi as hell. We've got natural magnetic shielding to protect our UV-blocking ozone layer from solar winds. This planet is so damn cozy<3

Any real utility they might have had is wholly overshadowed by the massive capital overinvestment and shoehorning it into everything by folks grifting on that overpromise.

"Perfect"

The left is waiting for an actual left candidate and the Democrats keep running moderate right-wingers who wouldn't have been out of place on the Republican ticket 25 years ago.

Conservatives are immune to all forms of shame except the deep-rooted sexual kind.

They'd have to catch him in bed with the basketball team before he'd quit.

It's only a matter of time 'til the "AI" bubble really pops and all those tech companies that fired too much of their workforce have to start hiring back like crazy.

Software companies don't want you to know this, but the open-source licenses on the internet are free. You can just take them home. I have 458 apps.
