This week's poll was suggested by Afiaki, but I removed a lot of the nuance of the original proposed options.

But if you really need the job to make a living...

This week's poll was suggested by Sosseres. Does the reputation of a company matter to you when applying for a job? Or do you just really need the money so you'd apply anywhere no matter what? Maybe you really disagree with Amazon's ethics or Google's reach.

This is of course assuming there are no other weird conditions. I recently listened to a podcast where they discussed if they would accept the method of immortality in Pirates of the Caribbean

This week's poll was suggested by jacob66. How long would you want to live? Let's assume you're the only one who can live this long, so your friends and children would live normal lifespans.

A lot of disdain toward manhua...

Hello fellow readers,

MU is showing it's age. After 18 years, we still have the same design and user experience from 2004. The web and the world have moved on, and we are having a difficult time pinpointing our place in today's community. We need your help to define how we can continue to meaningfully contribute, and we need developers to help us make it happen.

What features do you find useful? Which ones do you think could go? What big changes to our capabilities do you think we should make to increase the relevance of this site? Perhaps internationalization (language support), reactive web design, or social features? Please give us your thoughts!

To make this a reality, we need developers and designers who are willing to volunteer to make these changes a reality. With the API out the door, our next goal is to redo the UI using React/Next.js or similar technology. With that, we absolutely need to focus on making site moderation more user-driven. These changes are critical for us to continue to be relevant in the years to come. If you are interested in helping make that happen, please email myself and lambchopsil (manick@mangaupdates.com and lambchopsil@mangaupdates.com).
