I thought it was more about her facial expression being happy and cute, with the implied joke we're subverting being that girls take notifications of medical obesity well (happy) but notifications of something less bad for their health much worse (skull). I did not see the meme as trying to say that specific anime girl is medically obese.

I get where you are coming from too, though.

I kind of like this artstyle, especially for the guy in bed.

Both. I want to exploit "underreact to things you are expected to have a big reaction to" and briefly considered becoming a 911 dispatch because being calm in a crisis is an asset as one. Nobody wants the 911 dispatch who starts crying in empathy and saying "I'm so sorry, that must be hard," they want the one who sends them the darn emergency vehicles. But then I thought about how I might screw up and be responsible for a life in a more immediate, "your fault" way than in the ways I am responsible for lives and can't opt-out of. And unfortunately, like most people who don't have my "underreacts to crises" trait, I don't think I'd be able to handle that weight too easily if I did cause an accident. Perhaps I would react more "typically" with guilt, even if I'd be cool as a cucumber in the moment, during the screwup, and while handling the fallout of my screwup. (Becoming a surgeon would also take advantage of this trait, but my guilt and personal responsibility would be even worse with a screwup, and I'd probably get sued for malpractice. And the more immediate issue: I'm so squeamish.) Like typical people I don't want the consequences of that type of job, so sadly my "underreacts to crisis, cool in a crisis" trait goes unexploited for the benefit of myself and others. Except for the two (2) total times in life an emergency happened in front of me and I called 911.

(What I mean by saying I am responsible for lives in a way I cannot opt out of: maybe I take a left in traffic onto an empty road instead of going straight, and 5 seconds later another car is behind me instead of getting the stretch of road to themselves like they would have if I just went straight. I stop at a stop sign and go on my way. This 10 second extra delay in their travel might be the difference between a speeding car hitting them or them being gone already. Without me, they would not have been hit, but you can't really hold me responsible for something I had no way of foreseeing or controlling beyond this speculation that it could happen.)

I am glad you figured out a cure.

I'm not used to amigurumi looking so fuzzy and without obvious stitching. (Neutral statement, not a negative judgment.) This looks cute, good job! I really think snakes could use more cute representations.

I never browsed r/NEET so I figured I'd ask here—and besides, Fediverse communities need not be 1:1 recreations of the ones on Reddit. I just took a look and it seems to be for people suffering from the stigma on Reddit, would I be correct that it's supposed to be the same thing here?

Genuinely curious. I'm aware the term is often used as a pejorative. Is this for people who feel they fall into that group, or anyone who technically qualifies? For example, someone who was just laid off and is now unemployed, and wasn't receiving education or training—this person probably does not see themselves as a NEET and they and society have not yet applied that social stigma to themselves. What are the boundaries of NEET for the purposes of this community?

I learned with this:

CABLE Cast on 36 stitches. Row 1: Purl 13 stitches, knit next 2 stitches, purl next 6, knit 2, and purl remaining 13 stitches. Row 2: Knit 13 stitches, purl 2, knit 6, purl 2, and knit 13. Row 3: Repeat Row 1. Row 4: Knit 13 stitches, purl 2. Slip next 3 stitches onto cable needle, hold in back of work. Knit next 3 stitches, then knit the 3 stitches from the cable needle. Purl 2 and knit the remaining 13. Row 5: Repeat Row 1. Row 6: Repeat Row 2. Row 7: Repeat Row 1. Row 8: Repeat Row 2. Repeat these 8 rows until the piece measures 9". Bind off in pattern.

I'd imagine getting all the stitches done would be the most difficult part of this. Very well-done.
