My initial language gave away where I'm from? Lol...

I'm very happy for you and your people and wish you brighter days ahead. Obviously not every American is a MAGA cap looney but my thoughts were if this midterm wasn't a Democratic landslide, something is seriously wrong. And I'm glad it was.

    I'm lucky enough to have seen it unfold live being on the other side of the world. Such a sigh of relief that there is some hope for the US.

    There was some news that it could been a tie breaker (probably to the hopes of some far right media) and I was thinking if that were so what the fuck is wrong with the people in that country?

    But I can see there is hope and sense still left!

    If you're in Australia, if someone comes around a simple, "Hey, how's it going?" Will do, social interaction done and dusted. Most of the time the reply will be, "Good yourself?" and you reply, "Yeah good thanks."

    If it doesn't go beyond that, it's a satisfactory social engagement completed. If it does, great, go with the flow.

    Over the years, I've learned the subtle art of not giving a fuck. If someone doesn't want to engage, all good.

    Yes for sure, there are some people who tailgate, there's a shit load of people lately who don't indicate when changing lanes even in medium - heavy traffic, some people do 85 in 100 zone, some go between 90-100, some will 105 in a 100 zone, some change lanes no reasons. But amongst all that, there will need to be some order and logic too as there I'm picturing a semi-open world so AI will be getting on /off freeway, stop at stop lights etc.

    In prototyping stage on an idea I've had for a while, a driving game where speed isn't everything but how well you can navigate traffic also This is the first driving test with roads and traffic. Different AI driver behavior profiles to be work on next to bring some variation and more unpredictability to the traffic. Testing out whether the idea is any fun or not

     

    I'm wondering if anyone on here is estranged from their immediate family and what was their experience explicitly when their parents died and had to deal with inheritance? My parents are divorced and my father (and whatever family there is left) I have in recent years walked away from. Occasionally, I ponder on what happens in regards to inheritance when he dies between my stepmother, full brother and half brother. I don't see any of them. I'm assuming I won't be on his will but I am not interested in any inheritance.

    Has anyone else been in this situation and how did you approach it? What actually happens? Would I be contacted by a lawyer or something?
