Yeah, anything with Ray tracing will have player reflections. You usually don't see them because they're faking ray tracing by baking the light bounces when the scene first loads

I feel like im about to get screamed out of town for this, but it's an honest question in good faith so im gonna ask it... What's the difference between trans chasers and, for instance, a straight dude "chasing" cis women?

It seems like someone being attracted to the combination of your genital configuration and your gender preference/presentation is what you want right?

Every desktop app that's available on multiple platforms is basically written in it.

Climate change isn't really an existential threat. To be a filter it has to kill all humans and even the bleakest models don't predict that.

Also for it to be a Great Filter it has to be something that ALL civilizations do to kill themselves. Seems unlikely that all civs wou ld even have analogs to gossil fuels in quantities sufficient to do this kind of damage. And the idea that zero of them actually course-correct when they notice it seems equally implausible

Cringe. Recently learned that "the youths" have basically morphed the phrase into just meaning "anything bad". Like, that word was so useful though to specifically mean "something that someone does which flies in the face of social norms to which they are oblivious, but which makes onlookers uncomfortable". That word condensed a damn paragraph and I want it back

The term for this is "the euphemism treadmill". Basically every word we have for someone being unintelligent was at one point a medical term and for 100s or 1000s of years human beings have been making the same lame joke with whatever the current word is. We can get mad at people for doing it, but history shows it's guaranteed to happen anyway.
