Autism as a diagnosis is relatively new, but people would have always had traits that would be thought of as nowadays as autistic. As an example, Rube Waddell was a professional baseballer in 1897 who was so fascinated by firetrucks that he would run off the field mid-game to chase them.

Mine is similar. A barrister once told me that you should be nervous before an important event like an interview or court appearance. If you aren’t, all it means is that you aren’t taking it seriously.

The joke is rape. Ghost rape, but rape.

Do you mean no as in yeah nah, or nah yeah?

Making a movie is a team effort and everyone that say otherwise is an asshole

Sure, but why not in other industries? I assume at some point this became an issue that was resolved by having comprehensive credits, what was the problem it was seeking to solve?

I fully agree. If you want to be able to cast subtle spells, invest in the abilities required to do so. Otherwise I say someone starting to cast a spell without warning will be treated the same as someone pulling out a knife without warning: sure they might be planning something on doing something harmless like peel an apple, but without context, you’re going to assume the worst and react accordingly.

The US government or the Chinese government… I’m actually not sure which I trust more at the moment.

Nintendo’s lawyers are probably preparing a patent application right now claiming they invented the farming sim game.

Oh damn, I might be gay?

Everyone always forgets Princess Eilonwy.

But a subscription? That’s more akin to saying we’ll send someone to de-tune the car you’ve had tuned unless you pay us protection money monthly.

SovCits are not noble campaigners fighting against injustice. They are idiots deluded enough to think they’ve found the cheat code to the legal system by spouting the right string of nonsense.

More likely going to schools to tell kids that knives are bad, m’kay.

Or anti-genocide.

You have bigger problems if your lungs have decided to shut down for the night.

According to the NY Times:

the Weather Service employee whose job it was to make sure those warnings got traction — Paul Yura, the long-serving meteorologist in charge of “warning coordination” — had recently taken an unplanned early retirement amid cuts pushed by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. He was not replaced.
