In case you don't know - there are two categories: open and women-only. Anyone can compete in open, no matter what their gender/sex is. Women can also compete against other women only if they want. It's definitely not like "oh you're a woman, you can't compete here, it's only for men".
My wife and I picked an adult-only hotel for our honeymoon. It's fucking glorious. One of our fondest memories ever, and we cherish it even more now with third kid on her way to wreck havoc to our ears in a few short months.
There are no orphans up for adoption in Poland, you have to wait your turn in line to adopt because there are so many couples that can't have children. My close friends waited over 3 years. The only kids in the system are the ones who are in the middle of a legal fight and can't be adopted.
I believe legalizing marriage, normalizing LGBTQ couples' status first to prove the general society that they're not actually some sick perverted sickos before we allow children adoption, should be the first step. Also waiting for the old people to die out, to put it bluntly.
Keep in mind Poland is still a hugely conservative society, in full grasp of the Catholic church. It's changing, you can clearly see the trend, but on the other hand our current government is still actively painting LGBTQ+ as some sort of harmful ideology or what not. We have a long way to come.
I am against a law allowing LGBTQ couples to adopt children in my country (Poland). I am not in any way against it as a general idea, but Polish society is full of full-on bigots and these kids would be subject to so much bullying, it's really against their best interest.
The argument a lot of people raise "if we start doing it then people will get used to it" doesn't work for me, because why should these children be victims of war that is not even theirs to fight? The whole thing makes me sick.
I've been downvoted for this opinion by both sides on Reddit.
XCOM, or, more recently released, Baldur's Gate 3 fits too.
In English that's called paucal vs plural forms, Polish has the same rules as Russian.
Sidenote: there are translation systems that support it, e.g. Qt does (https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/i18n-plural-rules.html).
So does Jerboa tbh.
Favorite? Kotlin generally speaking, but I use Python the most and like it quite much as well. Can't beat Python's time for zero to something useful running and you will find bindings and frameworks for anything.
C++ for anything performance sensitive, or running anything on my Synology NAS.
That approach could work in the past, but it won't now. Now we have the internet when even people shamed by their family or neighbors will find support and like-minded individuals. We are only going to be more divided in the future.
Certs for me can be a net negative - if you have one, I expect you to know shit. An answer of "I don't know, but here's my take on it" is a good answer in my book, because we can't all know everything and I'm generally more interested in attitude and thought process than pure knowledge. But that changes when you are certified and brag about it on your resume. That bar goes higher, for no apparent gain to be honest. Example: if you have "certified AWS Foo Bar" and you don't know what a vpc is, that's a red flag for me. It wouldn't be otherwise, even if you had AWS experience listed, because maybe you were just working with ECS and didn't need to know jack shit about vpcs.
About the only situation in which a cert is a plus is when you have close to zero relevant experience. But all of the above still applies.

Not OP, but same situation. I usually don't, but my mother who lives far from us does every day. We take a lot of photos and videos, she gets to watch them and she's up to speed on our kids' lives, can talk to them about stuff they did today, etc. We feel like it lets her be a part of their lives in a way.
Then you have that Google Photos feature where you get automatically created mini albums like "they grow up so fast" or "now vs then", it will compile a couple of photos from 7, 6, 5, ... Years ago and we watch those religiously, often coming back to the particular event from which some photo is. We can spend an entire evening going through older photos like that.
