I think a big part of it is that narrative flip from regular magical girl shows. I didn't watch magical girl stuff when I got it recommended to me, but I also didn't get any spoilers, so it still hit well. Similar to One Punch Man if you haven't seen the decade of shonen, the parodies of them don't hit.

    Both of these examples are "imminent danger" where she hasn't been harmed yet, and can still be saved. Fridging would be if the hero discovers her already run over or walks in right as she's shot or whatever.

    Every optional survey like this has incredible skew for people with free time and opinions they feel the need to share. In the US, that skew is old retired people, who typically lean religious, conservative, and capitalist. The 90% of people who hang up when cold called are not represented well.

    I think that is why many countries have primary schooling as a mandatory thing. Because children don't want to do labor they don't value, mental or physical. But we make them do it anyway, because a critically thinking, baseline educated population is important.

    I've only got one system running it for now, but it has worked well for my 1080ti system. There are usually hiccups with Linux, but they've been small ones so far. Nothing worse than what happens on windows. And yeah it's got a rollback system by default.

    I'll be the odd one out, as a relatively new Linux gamer. I almost never shut it down unless I want OS updates. Weeks without an intentional shutdown usually.

    I treat it more like a phone than I do a TV or radio like I saw other people mentioning. Always on, as I left it, running whatever it was running. Screen turns off after 30 minutes of course.

    I don't pay for power, so that's not really a concern for me, and I use it frequently enough when home that most of my time involves the desktop in some way.

    Well this was a personal project at a shop I work at, so I don't have any pricing knowledge really. I did burn up several sides to the inserts I used, so that's like $60 in tools, took about an hour of messing around with it. I bet a shop with more experience with hard metal and big stuff would charge you $100-200 to face it, depends on shop rate and stuff.
