Figured somebody here needs to ask this here.

Crunchyroll aside, your options are Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, YouTube, Hulu, Adult Swim, etc.

Crunchyroll is the best you're gonna get, unless you want to get Britbox or something (which I assume does not have anime).

EDIT: I listed 6 American platforms to demonstrate that your options are Crunchyroll or nothing.

Really high latency in Australia, the genre search is a bit lackluster (I have zero interest in Reggae, for example), and I can't bookmark individual songs.

I'll still use it, the next-least-American option is Spotify and they're going all-in on AI. It's just kinda a disappointment.

EDIT: There's also Soundcloud, I forgot about that.

My habits are formed. It's no longer even driven by hatred of America's actions. Even being better alone won't bring me back.

Football fans will do anything to watch the cup. Don't expect them to not turn out.

If I want to go from Australia to Europe, I'm probably going through Canada or Mexico. Don't really want to go through the UAE either, or over (self-proclaimed) Israeli airspace.

It isn't. The Democratic party is made up of wealthy elite with no principles other than winning election. Their policies around minorities might be different, but for the most part the Democrats are similar in their strength of character.

Japan owns a lot of American debt but most of it is owned by American domestic companies.

I guess someone in the Canadian government has been watching too much Fox News if they think LA is particularly dangerous.

Meh, millionaires are fine. Becoming a millionaire is something you can do with good health and hard work.

If it's 10 million I get a bit concerned. If it's 100 million I have a problem. If it's 1 billion then I'd consider them evil incarnate.

If it's Boeing I'm not going.

If it's Boeing, I'm not going.

So I've tried out a few search engines but no matter where I look I can't find a great answer.

  • Qwant was decent for a bit but as I eventually found out they don't use their own index.
  • SearXNG, same as above.
  • Mojeek was one of the first I went with but I often can't find what I'm looking for when using it.
  • Wikipedia gives me YaCy, Exalead, Opensearch, Gigablast, and Elasticsearch but either I can't find the URL's for them or they require I install something on my computer.

What did you all end up picking? And does it even matter if the back-end is American owned, do American companies make money from that (or does that give them inordinate control)?

For me it was the prospect that it may have an impact.

Mildly inconvenience myself to microscopically inconvenience American companies didn't seem worth it.
