This is getting an adaptation? This feels like one of those series that would transfer extremely well to the medium, so I am looking forward to it. The manga has been quite enjoyable for me.

I am a massive anime watcher and I have this problem too. I used to binge watch a lot of shows, but as I've grown older I find I can't project myself onto the characters anymore and I can't relate to any of them. There is a severe drought of adult-targeted shows that aren't pornographic or tragedy/horror in nature. It's like adults are not interesting unless they are sexed up or murdered.

A lot of the good stuff has already been adapted (most anime are adaptations of some form of light novel or comic book), so in the past few years the production studios have been scraping the bottom of the barrel just to release something. It has resulted in a higher than average set of subpar works every season (3 months, 12 or 13 episodes).

The title makes it sound like the patch was what caused the boss to be invincible.

By the end I completely forgot he was talking about San Francisco, and I think that is the point.

The difference being that the owners of the works in museums have given permission to view the content, and the people viewing the content are rarely trying to resell what they are seeing.

Damn. Had this one on my wishlist.

If you want more reasons to hate landlords head over to the r/landlords subreddit. The people there are some of the nastiest, heartless people you will ever see.

I think about this way more than I'm happy to admit.

Common sense, maturity, humility, and curiosity are all extremely important to me in a partner. Whether my potential partner is book smart is significantly less important to me than whether they treat others with respect and wanting to improve themselves.

With the superficial stuff out of the way, the bottom line is that the thing that matters most is whether or not I want to spend my limited time with them.

Bleach, a saw, and cat litter.

This. I don't understand why people think diversity is a bad thing. True democracy and progress comes when everyone is well represented and everyone's opinions are heard.

With that said we have a lot of institutional barriers that need to be utterly demolished before the people will actually be heard. We have a long way to go, and the first step is to participate in your local elections and vote for the people who actually listen.

Your credit, which is a fancy name for the profile that financial companies build on you to determine whether you are able to pay back loans. When you apply for a credit card, get a loan, rent an apartment, or buy a car, the seller will look at your credit to determine whether you are a risk of not paying and will use this info to set interest rates and payment plans.

Locking your credit means preventing these financial institutions from releasing your financial information to people who request it. This will prevent malicious actors from opening lines of credit in your name, but it will also prevent you from doing so as well.

Unfortunately in the US we can't tell a single entity that we do not want this information released. We need to inform multiple entities not to release this info since they are all independent.
