Assuming the daughter is an adult: I'd talk to her about it but otherwise not get involved. It's up to her to choose her relationships. There are also people who aren't together anymore even though they're still married, or are in an open relationship, so it's not something to automatically condemn.

I am specifically referring to RTX technology and not ray tracing in general.

There is nothing specifically "RTX" about the reflections in GTAVE.

The RTX reflections in the GTA:V:E are very satisfying I love all this.

It's called Raytracing. RTX is just a marketing term Nvidia uses for their GPUs, GTAVE has nothing to do with it.

Not when it's about sitewide policies. (Like reddit banning "Luigi" etc)

I don't exactly talk like a sailor but I don't censor myself either. I think swearing is much less of a big deal in my culture than it seems to be in conservative America. For example, bleeped-out words on TV or radio are not a thing here. I have not and will never use any "replacement words", those just seem forced and silly to me.

Probably against HOA rules in many places.

If you live in the EU, you could try a GDPR request to delete your account and then create a new one.

Yeah, as much as I'd love to see some of the national parks, I'll never travel there unless their entry procedures and government change fundamentally. Plenty of other countries to visit.

There is definitely a point where it's beneficial to have a rest and continue learning and/or write the exam the next day in a well-rested state.

Was also going to write that. Best perk there is. It saves money and time for both me and the company.

Doing good feels good. Our brains are wired for cooperation. I think most evil people are miserable.

I agree. Pokemon once was my favorite video game series, but it has been technically and to some extent creatively stagnant for quite some years now. And whenever people point that out online, there is always a vocal horde of fans coming to Gamefreak's defense, saying things like "Pokemon never looked good". Which wouldn't be a good argument, but it's not even true. Pokemon games were never technically advanced, but they had a simple, clean look in the 2D/2.5D era. S/V has some really appallingly low-res textures in places that wouldn't have looked out of place on the N64. It just looks muddy and inconsistent to a point where it's distracting from the game itself. At the same time it runs at sub-30 FPS quite often.

Probably the only good looking Pokemon games we got this generation were the "Let's Go" ones. Those had simple but consistently good-looking graphics just like the older titles.

Dashcams are legally controversial in Germany. Generally the common opinion is that they're only allowed if they quickly delete all recorded data and only save it if there was an actual accident.

The problem with a bodycam is that while it's allowed to film in public, it's not allowed to film specific people without their permission. So it would be fine to film a busy street without focusing on any people in particular, but going into a store with your bodycam where it would film your interaction with the cashier would be illegal.

No, as that would be illegal in many situations in my country. I also don't want cameras pointed at me constantly, so I don't do that to other people either.

Oh, come on. There are still cities with millions of people, where hundreds of thousands could easily get together to protest. Cities double the population size of the entire country of Georgia. There were much larger protests e.g. in DC under the first Trump administration but this time it's too much of a bother?

We will hopefully do that, but it's also up to the American citizens to finally put up a proper resistance. One of the most worrying things to me is how indifferent the majority of Americans seem to be to their country turning fascist and betraying its allies. There were some protests sure, but they're ridiculously tiny compared to protests in even much smaller countries like Georgia. It's time to wake the fuck up before power has fully been consolidated and there's no way back. Europe may be able to stand alone against Russia, but against Russia and the US will be tough.

Somewhere in the countryside with lots of nature around but not too far away from civilization. Ideally in a small country mostly unaffected by geopolitics and with a temperate climate.

Evil is not held back by scruples or moral boundaries. Evil people will do whatever they need to to succeed. That includes manipulating people, something which today's technology facilitates. Add to that the fact that for many people in developed countries, life is slowly getting worse instead of improving over the last few years. The frustration over that can easily be turned into hate against minorities, foreigners etc.

It has been quite a while since I played it, but I remember it being pretty good but with a combat system that takes some getting used to.
