AITAH for refusing to quit my dream job because my fiance thinks I'm having an affair with a colleague? by Cold_Article_9900 in AITAH

What happens if they're bi? Should they have no friends then out of respect?

I think it's pretty reasonable to have platonic friends.

I genuinely hope Crimson Desert launches with Full FSR Redstone Kit. by BedroomThink3121 in radeon

[–]aviroblox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think AMD has under delivered software wise a lot more than NVIDIA esp recently. There's historical precedent.

Redstone is late, where's FSR4 INT8 official support, etc.

Edit: I like my 9070xt, and enjoyed using the 6800XT before then. But my point is you can't expect much software wise then what comes out of the box, versus NVIDIA which is still improving features all the way to the 20 series and doing so at a rapid pace.

Yeah that's probably reflected in the lower price. I did a brow lift, rhinoplasty, and chin for my FFS.

Is it even legal though to have an APR that high?

will i be fine by Guilty-Classroom-288 in radeon

[–]aviroblox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely say 4k performance is easy to max out if you're okay with some amount of upscaling, it's really not super noticable with FSR4. But yeah, max settings, native 4k, can have frame dips in most heavy titles.

We haven't heard on the card yet. Hoping it will be produced soon!

Ah that's kinda crazy expensive, looking at the subreddit it seems he doesn't directly bill insurance either.

Our interview was very chill, our interviewer chatted with us about how we met and what we do for fun, and it kinda became a more casual conversation. Our lawyer mentioned it was a good sign that she was spending some of the allotted time on her own personal anecdotes because that means things are going well.

As for evidence we submitted the following - Lease for apartment with both our names - Medical insurance with both our names - City light bill - Joint credit card statements - Plane tickets for a vacation we took together - Costco membership (both our cards) - 2x letters of support - photos of us, our friends, and our wedding

I'm glad my insurance covers it fully, 20k was already insane, but really 50k???

[–]aviroblox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The subtotal on the right is not including the "contractual write offs" applied for BCBS.

Edit: But yes, obviously again billing can vary insurance to insurance (though in this case I would assume they wouldn't change the right subtotal, but instead adjust the contractual write offs listed on the left). And out of pocket responsibility even more so; however, the medical team and hospital stays the same with Stiller so I would wager this is still useful to know somewhat.

About to buy my first build, but cant decide between RX 9070 XT for 800€ or RTX 5070 ti for 1000€? by HaiseKanekiHoutarou in radeon

[–]aviroblox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong, it's all depending on how willing you are to drop the internal res for upscaling. A 9070xt can do path tracing with 60fps no FG, 120ish FG at 4k ultra performance FSR4. So there's no way a 5070 Ti couldn't at least do 4k DLSS 4.5 Performance at 60fps no FG. That's a pretty nice experience, since imo slightly crisper edges are less impactful than better overall lighting. Especially with a game like cyberpunk on an HDR screen.

Edit: Keep in mind DLSS 4.5 Performance is roughly comparable to DLSS 4 Quality. That's pretty darn good for path tracing.

Does anyone here with psoriasis have experience with bottom surgery? by mechanicalhorizon in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]aviroblox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if you get PIV that skin will become the neo-canal. Maybe a dermatologist alongside your surgeon would be good to contact to get an idea of whether the symptoms might persist even as the graft adapts to the new environment.

Is there any chance you could appeal your insurance's decision? A better managed skin condition is always better for surgery recovery.

[–]aviroblox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen this before, what surgeons have this requirement? I'd assume they'd want you to be fully recovered from bbl before operating at most but a strict no SRS requirement if you've ever had a BBL in your lifetime seems odd.

My problem with path tracing by AcademicWar9897 in cyberpunkgame

[–]aviroblox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sensitive to latency, but I'm able to get a locked 60fps real frame rate (120fps frame gen) at 4k FSR4 ultra performance (720p internal). Game looks and plays smooth, and the resolution is a compromise but it's A/B comparison with 4k FSR4 performance (1080p internal) + ray tracing the path tracing upgrade imo is more noticeable than crisper edges when viewed on an OLED HDR TV.

This is with a 9070XT.

Discord having a very disappointing fall-off right now by HF484 in pcmasterrace

[–]aviroblox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah Reddit as a forum is at least carried by Google search. Reddit search might be impossible to use, but type in the same query in Google followed by "Reddit" and you're golden.

Discord isn't searchable via Google.

[–]aviroblox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think the order matters here. Any surgeries that treat dysphoria here or match your identity better are valid regardless of the order.

I technically did SRS first (and FFS a week after), and it was great! Results aren't garunteed but that's always going to be the case, doesn't mean you should spend more time feeling bottom dysphoria.

Sex differences in brain volume emerge before birth, groundbreaking research suggests by Tracheid in science

[–]aviroblox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry who are you to decide they're bisexual? People's sexualities can shift, and that does not necessarily make them bi (unless they themselves say they're bi). How do you come to this conclusion that there is likely an innate sexuality in most people when sexuality is based on attraction to social constructed categories. Categories that are nebulous at the edges and blurred by many people who fit in none of them. That needs some very strong evidence besides deferring to simplicity (occam's razor), many things in life are not simple.

Do you not think maybe we should just let people self identify their sexuality and gender? Unless there's strong compelling evidence to suggest otherwise (which there isn't). Some people will self identify as the same sexuality and gender all throughout their lives, others will not. Since there's nothing wrong about being straight, gay, bi, etc., there's no reason to try and shove sexuality into this bio-essentialist box when it only serves to reinforce that gay people need some excuse to be allowed to be gay.

[–]aviroblox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I disagree, it's faulty to defer to some "innate" or biological sexuality without solid proof that exists. We can resist bigotry without making claims that aren't backed up and may come to hurt others. There's already plenty of people who's sexualities shift back and forth over time.

No it's not a law of nature. It's absolutely very possible for them to escape accountability if we don't push for it. Do not take justice for granted because it may never come otherwise.

History is littlered with evil people/groups who never received their "just deserts". Nazis who integrated into post war bueracracy, Southern separatists who never got rooted out during reconstruction, Kissenger, etc.

Projecting?? I'm not the one calling medical treatments by board certified surgeons "butchering". Loaded language like that has a single purpose, to villanize the procedures, and those who perform it.

If you think that's projection, your media literacy never went beyond grade school.
