Weird story time: My great grandfather was obviously the source of the autism in our family line. Man could not read social subtext to save his life. He felt driven to find some sort to group to belong to that had set meetings and such. For a 5 year span, he joined, like, everyone. Elks, masons, you name it. When we were helping him clean out his house in the early 90s we found a KKK uniform. We asked about it. Apparently it was billed as a men’s group and they just had costumes made. He went along with it for a few meeting and then the extracurriculars were discussed at his last meeting. He finally got the point of it. He got out. We had his calendar book from that year(and every year from the 30s-retirement) and we saw the date where he started crossing out the KKK meeting times.

Why he kept it? It was the best work his wife had ever done.

Several years later I asked my grandfather if his dad was racist. Basically, he said that his dad had gotten in trouble for not understanding the racist, unwritten policies he was supposed to enforce and kept asking why, as there was no logic to them.

(That was my first post on the thread. I was just making sure there was the clarification of the two locations and the innocent people would be in jail, where prison are for those convicted.)

Jail vs Prison.

How did they see anything? And how did they not know he was a mole, what with those crazy nose whiskers and shovel shaped paws?

Depending on the location, no, not really.

I am at the last few decisions of act 3 and I stopped. Not because I am bored, but because I don’t want to end the game. And I am not sure I can roll appropriately to keep my boo from being an ilithid. I wanna go to hell with her.

Ok. So the censorship of RedNote is mandated by the CCP in order for them to persist. Shitter is doing what they are by their own choice.

How about the New Madrid fault? Apparently that is the new MAH-drehd. I fought against that one, mostly because folks laughed at me for pronouncing it like the rest of the entire world would expect.

Agreed, but please remember that this is the same under fascism and communism.

Ooh. Dunno about the adaptation side of things. I will say that I read the damned thing all in one night. Had to stay home from classes after doing so. Good book, to say the least.
