In my experience, boxes are usually empty, or maybe with a little cheese stuck to the top. And one time, pepperoni. What a day that was!

I was the exact same way in high school before I came out as trans and had no problem interacting with women and even had 2 romantically interested in me because I was soft and sweet. Stick with it and you'll find someone. Don't let other guys bully you into throwing it away, being true to yourself is a form of confidence and confidence is sexy.

It really depends on what they are into.
Ideally it will be something short and self contained. I'll start with the gold standard for recommendations: "Cowboy Bebop"

If they want something light-hearted and comedic, "Spy X Family" is a good one
"Vinland Saga" for something heavier and more serious

For fantasy fans there's "Frieren" and "Delicious in Dungeon", even if both are part 1 of a larger story
if they want fantasy aimed at someone younger, then "Little Witch Academia" is a good pick

If they want a combo of sports and romance, I thought "Yuri on Ice" was top tier.

With those out of the way, since you only said 3, I'll pick these 3 to give a wide variety of what anime has to offer:
Cowboy Bebop, Delicious in Dungeon, Spy X Family

And also seeing bi/pan as separate options. I'm used to seeing them combined.

They've held off on Prime 4 for so long, I expect it to be part of the main Switch 2 reveal, not this mini direct.

I agree, Walz, start being unsafe. Show us what we want to see in a candidate.

With so many big name DC heroes, you'd think we'd be getting big budget games about them constantly, but outside of the Batman Arkham games we don't have much to show for it in recent history.

Marvels got a whole bunch of cool stuff in progress: Wolverine, Captain America, Black Panther games. On top of its successful Spider Man games, and they hit Marvel Rivals that just launched. But its crickets from DC.

A game asked me if I was a boy or girl, I chose girl and have since committed to the bit.

Any move away from opiods is a great step for medicine. Not just in that they are addictive, but also that they do not work on a sub-set of the population.

I'm currently on the market for a new phone and I see stores selling a Pixel 8 for $500.
It's on the higher end of what I want to pay, but I see it has extended support over the Pixel 7.
I also see the Pixel 8a is $400, which is a nicer price for me, but since my plan is to use the phone long term, I figure the mainline model has sturdier build quality. There is also the upcoming Pixel 9a for $500, if I'm willing to wait and get the cheaper model branch but with the most modern features.

Can someone with experience using these phones help me pick something? I've never owned a pixel and looking online it seems like they each have their own issues to contend with. But I like the custom rom support I see for these phones that would give it a far extended lifetime over most other brands out there.

EDIT (Dec24):
Thank you everyone for your opinions. I saw the support for the Pixel 7 and decided to buy one on swappa over the Pixel 8. And since support for the pixel 7 ends in less than 3 years, I'll probably install GrapheneOS right off the bat. I also did research on Sub-6 vs mmWave as I saw both models were offered and decided on Sub-6 as the more practical technology. Looking forward to this.

Writing has never been Borderlands strong suit, and I don't expect it to get any better. The story will be bad, the dialogue will be bad, the jokes will be bad. They hit gold once with Borderlands 2, and never again. Will the gameplay be good? That's the real question.

Once again, I hate that I'm cheering for Liz Cheney.
