No, it’s not. It’s completely different. Down’s Syndrome is a chromosomal disorder (trisomy 21, where individuals have three copies of chromosome 21), while autism is... well, that’s a debate I’d rather not get into, but suffice to say it’s entirely unrelated.

I gave up at the exact same time. High-five!
Could always be a new blend from existing bourbons.
At a guess, I’d imagine “Miss Grundy” comes back - either this season or next - pregnant or with a small child...
Wait, so is this anime Dark Souls/Bloodborne? Cos I’m getting a serious Dark Souls vibe (especially with that “prepare to dine” line), but dressed up in anime visuals.
Since your question didn’t specify whether or not I dined alone with them - a couple of weeks ago, my wife and I went for a movie with a female friend of ours, then went for pizza bagels. After that, we took her back to our place and the three of us fucked like rabbits.
One of my first job interviews after getting my undergraduate degree from one of the top universities globally was at a small local company; they asked me to prepare to negotiate salary in my interview as negotiating ability was a skill they were looking for. I opened the discussion by stating the average starting…
The NES was launched in North America in 1985, and the Gamecube in 2001. Today, the Gamecube is as old as the NES was when the Gamecube came out.
I’d wondered if there was a particular reason for this - indicators on motorcycles often make a similar noise, but it’s virtually impossible to hear with the engine running and/or with a helmet on - you only really hear it when testing the indicators at a complete stop with no helmet, so it didn’t really seem…
Junji Ito, yeah, but not Uzumaki. It was Gyo - or one of the side-stories/bonus chapters published with it named The Enigma of Amigara Fault. Junji Ito shakes me to my core. In a good way.
Those huge dangling earrings stretching your lobes made it... very difficult to watch and pay attention to what you were talking about. I’m not sure I can remember what you said about the cookies, but those earrings were fascinating.
My wife works for a charity that deals with people with learning disabilities, many of whom have physical impairments as well. They’ve just redesigned the square in front of their office - one of these new-fangled ideas where “pedestrian and vehicle space is merged” or some such bollocks.
That’s fine for the cartoon. They cast Scarlett Johansson, who very much does look like her actual Northern European and Jewish ethnicity. Which would be fine if she were playing a character with an ethnic background like that - it just seems incongruous when the character has a Japanese name. I’m just hoping they…
Could be! It’ll be interesting to see how far they trend away from the source material. The gif up top makes it look like she has a scarred, organic face underneath her faceplate - I’m guessing they’ve made a change to “she was horrifically injured and rebuilt, Robocop-style”. But there could be other explanations too.
That’s something that works better in the context of a manga published in Japan; a Japanese writer doesn’t need to justify why a character of ambiguous ethnicity has a Japanese name. My gut reaction is that an American-produced, English-language film is going to need to do something to justify why they have Scarlett…
Agreed. I’m just hoping for a silver lining to what seems like - objectively - a pretty dumb decision in casting.
Considering the theme of “they stole your life”, I’m hoping they’re going with the idea that Major Kusanagi was Asian... before they rebuilt her into their ideal (white) woman. It could totally work, if they handle it well enough!
This would have been the first thing I would have tested. Does the edge slice objects? Check with the cup first, obviously.
Oh, completely. Sometimes you don’t need to give an origin story to build an interesting character; you can explore what makes a character tick without having to delve into their childhood, or some big breaking point, or whatever.
