What’s crazy is how inconsistent the problems seem to be. I’ve got a 4080 Super and a decent processor, and I’m getting 120-140fps with most settings as high as they can go with frame gen on at 1440p. Only crashed once in about 40 hours of gameplay.

Usually if you’re learning Arabic for religious reasons, it’s going to be Modern Standard Arabic or MSA.

Good point. What if the word was mother or father instead of mom and dad? There are definitely more generalized uses of that, like fatherland or mother nature.

Do you also feel uncomfortable when people use the words adopt and foster when it comes to pets? They’re also child-related words but I feel like those aren’t as controversial to people.

It’s a little bit different in Korea. You notice it even more if you watch newer K-dramas. They’ve (mistakenly? Unintentionally?) started calling what you’d normally consider a latte an americano. It’s become extremely trendy at cafes to offer americanos that are definitely not just espresso and water.

I prefer the conspiracy theory criticism that abstract art was propped up by the CIA and used as a tool to break down and corrupt the mind of the viewer, making the viewer more malleable and open to suggestion.

The implication is that I don’t have to worry about any of it because I just don’t drive in DC. Public transportation in DC is perfectly fine when there’s at least one functioning escalator.

I don’t wear a seatbelt when I’m in DC and I’ve never been carjacked once…I just walk, take the metro and ride an occasional bus to get around.
