This is naive. Democrats have been stringing you along, decade after decade saying one thing and doing another, using whatever excuse they have available, and you seriously think they're just waiting for the perfect time to unleash all this progressive legislation? Theyll just keep moving the goalposts as long as they have a willing voter base who never questions them because theyre better (undeniably true but still not good enough) than the evil republicans. They set up the opposition as the ultimate boogeyman so you'll never question their half-measures. You should demand more when you have the power and leverage.

I mean if i was kyle gass id tell jack black to go fuck himself. He made a big fit over a simple joke when his whole shtick(before being a literal clown for Disney(tm)) was being an 'edgy' comedian who writes songs that are supposed to be offensive.

I mean if your life started in 2005 and you didnt live through any of the 20th century, calling it the late 1900s seems totally reasonablr. You werent there when people were living through the "90s", to you its just another bygone era that people speak about in waya you'll never be able to relate to.

Still can also be used to mean "despite that" as in "i threw it around and it still always worked" = " i threw it around and deslite that, it always worked".

Except the difference between a person not buying the game and a person pirating it is literally nothing from the perspective of the company. Except actually, as many devs have found and acknowledged, people who pirate the game often actually result in increased word of mouth and publicity, and things like merch sales, not to mention many go on to buy the game later when they never would have if they hadnt pirated it first. So saying "just dont buy it" is kinda fucking dumb, because thats all theyre doing in the first place, and the only negative consequence of piracy for the company is a "potential lost sale" that never would have happebed anyway.

But you expect other people to use their free (literally unpaid) time to code what you want them to rather than what they care about or think is important. After theyve already made all of their work and progress free and openly available to anyone who wants to build off it. You have a fucked up view of the world.

So stop crying about it and tell us your must-pirate games already.

The bridge (original scandinavian show) has a detective who exhibits a lot of high functioning autistic traits, although iirc its never explicitly stated that she's autistic. Also i found the show "Atypical" to be excellent at showcasing neurotypical reactions to an autistic character. Obviously the show focuaes heavily on autism as thats the whole point, but it shows the character in a variety of situations and it feels very realistic and like it was made with the purpose of making autistic people more "understandable" to neurotypicals which i feel might serve your purpose.

If youre gonna watch the blob, watch the one from 1958 with steve mcqueen. Great schlock horror value.

Moist. No but really ive always thought "sedge" is a funny sounding word.

They want it to be opaque, that lends it an air of mystery and importance, and then when the preacher drills contradictory information into their heads theyre less likely to question it or look it up themselves because if the church says god hates gays or poors or immigrants it must be in that big scary book somewhere.
