i have a 5 speed 95 GS and the car is not supposed to start if the clutch is not pressed but the thing is that it does, so i went and checked the clutch switch and it is plugged in so what the hell?? here's a pic

Probably got a shorted clutch switch. Not all that uncommon. Take a test light and ground it. Check both terminals. One should be hot all the time koeo. Key on engine off. The other should be hot only with the clutch depressed. If you have both hot with the clutch not depressed you have a shorted switch. Good Luck

Or needs adjustment (button not pressed far enough when clutch not pressed).

No - One side of the switch goes to ground, the other side to the starter relay. So if the switch is shorted both sides will be ground (which activates the starter relay which disconnects power to the starter - I know this sounds backwards but that's how it works - the starter is enabled when the starter relay is NOT energized which is when the clutch switch opens when you press the pedal).
