    Corruption here (Canada) still happens federally and especially at the provincial level (like Doug Ford, which has many blatant examples and faces no consequences). Municipally (county level) I have not noticed as much, and my municipality seems to have a great local government that functions well... I've even spoken up and had a small issue resolved with little effort.

    However I think you'll find if that kinda stuff grinds your gears you'll still have a better time in Canada than the US, despite the problems (and we do have problems).

    Additionally being bipedal means that as we run our breathing rate is separate from our gait. As four legged animals gallop the motion of their running expands and contracts their diaphragm, forcing them to breath at the same rate they run at.

    Since they can't sweat like us, or breath like us, they have to stop running and start panting in order to cool down.

    While humans can just keep going, relentlessly, like the It Follows monster.

    I'm not sure how you're getting that impression. The quote you put there doesn't show up in the paper even once, and in fact if you search for "aimed throwing" you'll see several instances where they discuss the aimed throwing accuracy of the monkeys. Even in just the abstract there's a few places where they make it clear the monkeys are aiming (and additionally that's what they were measuring).

    For both species we found positive correlations between target distances for throwing accuracy, direction and strength of hand preference, percentage of bipedal vs tripedal throws, and percentage of overarm vs underarm throws.

    In fact, they go so far as to clearly state that the monkey throwing is a suitable model of human throwing, meaning that the way they throw is similar enough to us that we can actually learn about ourselves from it.

    We believe that the capuchin monkey is an informative nonhuman primate model of aimed throwing in humans and that research examining the throwing behavior of capuchins provides insight into the neurological and behavioral characteristics that underlie coordinated multi-joint movements across the primate order.

    Anyway, that's all the time I'm gonna spend on this mythbusting lol.

    Seems like while on average a human can be expected to "naturally" throw better than a monkey, most monkeys are perfectly capable of learning to throw with skill comparable to a human.

    3. Faster paced.
    4. You level up in a run as you kill things and select perks that change the gameplay a bit.
    5. More emphasis on dodging (without rolling) and killing, it's super fast paced.
    6. Both have fun secrets and hidden levels.

I honestly love anime, and even a bit of horniness is fine, but as I watch more and more and run out of "mainstream" things to watch, I find myself in the same situation over and over: I watch the first few episodes of an anime and then it reveals some unpleasant tropes, often involving either lack of consent, minors, or both. So I'm just looking for your top 3 anime suggestions that DON'T include loli/misogyny content. Bonus points for isekai because I love that shit.
