I've noticed a lot of things that are considered autistic in the states specifically may be normal practice in various cultures, having worked with people in Germany, and from a large swath of Asia.

It interests me a bit, but I think the takeaway is that autism tends to manifest in a number of quirks, and the ones that don't align with the current culture the autistic person is in are the ones that are paid attention to. That and there tends to be a bit more obsession over said quirks than in those cultures, sometimes to the detriment of the autistic person or their social life.

I can tell you haven't dealt with drama before. If I'm wrong, please forgive me. Everyone has to deal with it differently, please be a little more patient. Maybe they could have worded it more carefully, but I don't think they deserved this escalation.

This is a problem we need to deal with in society. You acknowledged that yourself. This almost comes across as victim blaming, but definitely comes across as straw manning.

Sony would have won that legal battle and AH would cease to exist.

The devs could move elsewhere, but backing for people who fought capitalism and lost is less favorable than you think. We probably would never get another Magicka. And definitely would never get another Helldivers, let alone Helldivers 2.

I'm all for overthrowing the system, but AH doesn't have the sway to do anything but hope they can continue making fun games. And I hope they do. That gives them more sway, one game at a time.

Yeah, U.S. pavement. A U.K. pavement princess would be a Mustang. They sure don't like to stay on the road when trying to burn out.

According to the same wiki article, the hierarchical version you mention of Euclidean Zoning (named after Euclid, Ohio) fell out of favor in the US for flat zoning, which is much more restrictive. But since it's always locality dictated, it's always different wherever you go.

It depends on how far the doctors went when they removed a part of you without permission or consent. There are levels of skin tightness that some people are on the unfortunate end of, if the doctor took an excessive amount. And in general, there are a huge number of nerves in the foreskin which are significantly more sensitive, so cut members will need more stimulation than they would have, and that can lead to chaffing when attempting to receive the same results as they could have with foreskin.

The term originated in religion, not government. And it has no definition that limits it to government creation. It's not even limited to politics.

Sex worker could be fairly safe, if sex workers had any rights in my country. (context: USA. There are countries where sex workers are are least somewhat respected and have rights. Not here.) Then it would be about as safe as being a doctor who makes house calls, or hospice, or other jobs where you may be in private with another person for some reason.

Roguelike A Kid in King Arthur's Court with sandwiches being the witchcraft. I'd play it.

There's more than one enemy and more than one boss who can polymorph you.

Practicing with Respawn+ installed from the Steam Workshop (or elsewhere) is quite for learning, but not necessary for people who want the challenge. I went from mods that decrease difficulty to ones that add new bosses, secrets, and ways to die unfairly in an instant, and I don't regret my time investment.

11/10 game

I mean, the average newborn is smarter than the average politician, so maybe it's not as bad as we think.

An overwhelming desire to never be taken seriously by the average user.
