One day @Commissar SFLUFAN will be one of them.
Pretty sad Crunchyroll is 4th on that list despite them trying to strong arm themselves into a bunch of anime exclusives and buying right stuf, all that. Fuck em!
Everybody enjoys some anime that's out there. Just need to get the right anime in front of folks. Best anime I'd recommend to people around here that's airing right now is Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. For those that don't know it, it's basically a D&D adventure, only it takes place after the hero's party has defeated the Demon King. It follows the nigh immortal elf mage as she watches her world-saving party members die of old age and try to figure out what to do with her very long life.

Where I live, Portland, OR, ranks as "only" the 21st most expensive US city to live in, according to US News & World Report, but the median house sale price here is $531,000 according to Zillow. Assuming the (outdated?) standard of a 20% down payment ($106,000
), a 30-year fixed mortgage at 7.618%, and following the (again, outdated?) guideline of housing being no more than a third of your income, you'd need to earn about $108,000 per year. And that excludes any insurance, HOA fees, taxes, etc.
The median household income in the US was $74,588 in 2022, according to the Census bureau.
It's cool that I make more than that and had some $70k a few years back to put down on a $350k house, but couldn't get a mortgage no matter how hard I looked thanks to too much medical debt. Not that it matters now because all that money just vanished with the pandemic and I'm only now digging myself out of that hole. Also those $350k homes from 4 years ago are now worth $550k for reasons.

But if so many Americans can no longer afford to buy new cars , why are so many being sold still? Wouldn’t we expect the number to drop?
If you haven't noticed, the car market in the US has been slowly but surely focusing more on larger vehicles for families and larger vehicles for those with more disposable income. Seems the industry has just pivoted to higher margin vehicles that better appeal to the $100k+ households and individuals.
Still, even if 60% of households can't afford a new car, that's still 50m+ households that can.

I was going to say this is a good thing except many people don't understand what they can afford so they buy new anyway and get themselves into a hole full of depreciation hell.
I mean, yes. The numbers cited are you need to make a minimum of $100k to buy new these days, but if that's the minimum then I've got you assume that also means the cheapest new car model. Neither of those is happening right now. 1.5m repossessed cars last year? That obviously di6dn't include only new cars, but it certainly means millions of people that are buying are buying more car than they can afford.

Americans can no longer afford cars and yet, 15.5 million new cars were sold in 2023. Fascinating!
There's are 130-something million households in the US and the numbers there say 40% of them can afford a new car. That includes the 37m individuals that can afford a new car with their income, alone. Obviously, there are still people buying new cars. It's just that the vast majority of Americans can no longer afford to.

My kids are who I worry about. They're both trapped in the whole "buying a shitty beater and running it until it dies then buying another because they can't afford anything that doesn't have problems" cycle. But even beaters are getting too expensive for them at this point.
And people wonder why younger generations are getting their licenses later and later in life. Can't afford a car. Can't afford to go to any of the places it can take you.

Damn looks like they've just up and rebuilt the game and made something entirely new.
At what point does it become a different game? It reminds me of that big Stardew Valley modder that just threw his hands up and made his own game, seemingly, since that's pretty much what his mods already were.

The two new categories were eye-roll inducing, but the rest of the award picks were extremely solid. The show itself was a disaster. I gave up after about 45 minutes.
The new organization might give the Globes more credibility in the long run, but they’ve gotta really step it up when it comes to the show itself.
And still no award for stunts.

It's fantastic. It's also a very binge-able series thanks to the great pacing. The series does not cater to perverts, but that's never stopped anyone given the never-ending supply of Sonic and Pokemon...artwork. Perverts can go watch the BDSM-themed Gushing Over Magical Girls over on HiDive. Somehow HiDive managed to get hold of the uncensored animation, but still censored audio. I have no idea how the audio can still be censored given the content of the visuals, but that's neither here nor there.
