I usually avoid redubs, but I'm rewatching Evangelion's first two episodes on a loop to make an analysis, and I'm using the English version for practical reasons - screenshots without subtitles and following it without looking. And Misato's new voice, by Carrie Keranen, is pretty good! There's a playful melody to it that fits the character very well and contrasts with her more aggressive and introspective moments.
Sadly, I cannot say the same about the other characters. Many of the most important Evangelion lines require a certain mix of apathy and despair that only Grungie-nineties seems able to convey. And Shinji's new voice is just a childish reminder of that (I'm comparing with Japanese and Portuguese. I never saw the first English dub).

It can be a little-known product or a recommendation--whatever you deem fit, as long as it improves quality of life, productivity, or satisfaction.

What are your long term savings goals? Are you saving towards a purchase of anything in particular?

For me, saving money has been pretty tough but my goal is to maintain a minimum of 4 months pay in the bank in case of hard times. My fiance started her MBA and we have been fortunate that we can pay for it outright instead of adding on top of our loans. In the past year I have gotten a bit into churning and using the rewards to help partially pay for vacations throughout the year which has helped a bunch.
I'm interested to read about any goals we are working towards and also talk about different savings strategies!

Should clicking an article on Tildes be a prerequisite for posting a comment in the associated thread?

This thought was brought to you/sponsored by my perception that there's an increasing number of comments on Tildes that attempt to "answer" questions posed in the titles of posts, but don't necessarily demonstrate that the user has read the article before commenting. I won't link specific comments, but I've noticed a fair bit of it as of late. I get that those titles bait people into voicing their opinion, but often it's at the detriment of overall discussion. Should a prerequisite of clicking the actual link in question be a requirement before the user is allowed to post a top level comment? Or perhaps a cooldown period of entering a thread versus commenting may help?
The goal here would be to disincentivise the posting of "driveby" or similarly reductive comments that often don't demonstrate nuance or knowledge that is conveyed in the associated article. Sure, we can't ever know if the user has actually read the article, but it's not designed to be a foolproof strategy, just a discouraging one.
There's a few ways this could be implemented, probably via the utilization of a small bit of javascript that toggle's a user's reading state for a particular post. Thoughts?
Just to clarify since I've edited this post: I mean top-level comments only. Replies are more likely to be in response to the parent comment, rather than the title and wouldn't be affected by this proposal.
