Investment firms, the 5th horseman.

I went from not able to lift my fat ass to 10 pull ups in less than a year and only crank out a few if I walk past and got energy to burn.

There is creativity and risk in anime that no western media company would ever touch, even if its disagreeable or just shitty. Western stuff is cookie cutter slop aimed at checking all the boxes of a profitable product.

Western media seems to only push things that fit the mold of an investor worthy price of art. Anime goes for a "throw things at the wall" approach so things that are a gamble get made. I think its an issue of scale, anime has a smaller market so the stakes of fucking up massively are survivable while having a huge farm of original indy stories dreaming of being an anime to source from. Western stuff dose not not have the pool of creativity to lift from as scaring or offending investors with risk gets you fired. Triple A gaming seems to reached the same point, bureaucracy and safety prevents new ideas that are risky or they come out bland and boring. Without risk you stagnate and people think your boring. Animation is cheap enough to take risk but has less returns since the market is smaller.

TL;DR: Western media is too bloated to take the creative risk needed and they got to throw buckets of cash to prop up Ol'Reliable season 20 instead.

I got a pullup bar and do a lap around the office if I get bored. Lost 65 pounds with minimal effort after being off medication. Other people notice before you do and its a bit of a surprise.

If he can get 40 randos into the same instance in under 30 minutes and kill the boss, an entire country is nothing.

My area would get reasonable fiber coverage by the time we figure out how to stream cat videos over entangled particles to a phone.

I'll do this if a website has an inconvenient pop up asking for email, or the cookie consent popup is too big to ignore. I just don't bother going back. I'm not sicking around to navigate around dark pattern bullshit like that.

Betting on another bland and soulless corpo cash grab that wears the skin of another nostalgic childhood memory.

Also break up ISPs. I have the local monopoly and 4 red herrings providers allowed to operate to give the illusion of competition.
