I don't know about those specifics, but I too think that Elmu's reaction to Vivian's transition is a large part of his transphobia. I'm pretty sure he'd be a POS anyway, but society not letting him control his progeny really gets him worked up.

I'd love to see it come back, but there's been no production activity on it for years. I hear the books are good, but I haven't read them myself.
I thought I wasn't going to like the combat of XIII, but I ended up really quite enjoying it most of the time. I thought the support roles AI was quite good, and eventually I figured out a rhythm of switching roles that felt really good.
But, I probably should go back and play some of the 7-9, maybe even X again. I picked up 2, 3, and 5 (and the portable Nintendo consoles to play them) and never made the time to play them.
I know some are on Steam, but I'm on Linux and I don't know how well the Proton/SteamPlay works with them. (Plus, I need to finish up Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 before I buy yet another JRPG.)
Final Fantasy X. Hands down the best entry of the franchise (fight me)
I never finished X, it felt like it was dragging on and there were too many unskippable scenes.
I actually preferred XIII, which I nearly 100%'d (I think I was one or 2 combats away from 100%) and even XIII-2 which I enjoyed, tho I thought the "post-game" was too heavy with loading screens. I never played XIII-3 (Lightning Returns).
In any case, FF VI is actually the best entry in the franchise. I know that because I played and beat it as a child. (/s)
(I was really hoping FF XV [?; road trip with the boy band] would be good, but I played about 10 hours and had nothing good to say about it.)
R-Type Final -- more than 100 fighters to unlock across a branching campaign, including at least one secret stage.
I was a little disappointed with R-Type Final 2, but I might need to just play more.

In one of my incidents, the cabbie did not come to a full stop. In the other of my incidents, the friend had come to a full stop, but she did not notice the pedestrian traffic (which, at the time, wasn't common [and without signal] at that intersection).
In any case, yeah, "right on red" should be done away with and we can deal with any negative effects (of not having it) better than we can deal with dead or injured pedestrians / cyclists.
"replication crisis"
I agree that the utility of revisiting an already well-researched question is low, but I don't think it's entirely wasted. Replication and in particular failure to replicate existing results is when a team can learn good things, rarely a breakthrough, often just that their procedures need refinement.
Absolutely there are much higher priority work to which public funds should go.
right on red
As much as I like this convention, I have twice seen it almost cause the car I was in (not driving) to strike a pedestrian. I think maybe we should get rid of it. If we want to allow right turns into sparse/nonexistent cross traffic, we need a signal that says "possible cross traffic, but no pedestrian parallel traffic".
As long as it's not so low my cruise control won't work. (j/k)
When Fayetteville started switching to 20mph for capillary streets, my "complaint" was that my cruise control only works down to 24mph, but I still welcomed the change. Public safety needs to be a bigger focus and should be the primary driver of regulation.
ISWYDT
I guess laughing at fascists is part of resistance.
gcc can do tail-call optimization in C, and sometimes in C++. It doesn't even have to be a recursive call, tho I do think it might depends on the calling convention.
