This was really interesting as someone not in the military, and definitely valuable and detailed info for people who need it. The stuff about going AWOL as a last resort was especially eye opening! I'm sure I'm not the only one who assumed going AWOL was a one-way trip to military prison.

Nope, it's an old article and really doesn't say anything of substance:

Yeah, if OP can spare the cash I would definitely recommend investing in some microspikes. I went with the Stabilicers Maxx 2 a few years back and they've worked great when I've needed them, but I imagine any decent pair will do the trick.
I would love to spend a day at that guy's house and learn more than I could have ever imagined there was to learn about elevators
Just binged the three officially translated volumes and absolutely loved it!! Inject this shit straight into my veins.
Will be taking a look at your other recs as well because you clearly have exquisite taste

Went and set up xemu just to play it because of this post...100% holds up! Great memories of playing it for hours over at my buddy's house (even his dad got into Crash Mode).
I'm experiencing some slowdown here and there (pretty funny that I can emulate the Switch more easily than a nearly 25 year-old console), but since it doesn't affect the audio and there's no frameskipping I just look at it as random difficulty reduction.
watching Finding Nemo en español was critical to my education tyvm
Pushing back against the stance of the IFPMA and these Global North governments, the People’s Vaccine Alliance, a coalition of over one hundred development and health NGOs, trade unions, and human rights campaign groups, notes that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the twenty biggest pharmaceutical giants spent almost as much on payouts to shareholders and executives as they did on research and development. Between 2020 and 2022, these firms spent $377.6 billion on such largesse and $414.6 billion on R&D. The People’s Vaccine Alliance argues that this is proof that IP waivers and the access-and-benefit mechanism would not dent these businesses or harm innovation.

Sorry, I wrote a response like hours after you replied but didn't post because anxiety, and then as the days passed by I was like, "Well shit, now I have to have something really good to say if I'm gonna comment!". Anxiety brain, not even once.
...anyway! I've already read Hello, Melancholic! and loved it (I see that you've posted about it before and that's probably how I found out about it). I went ahead and binged Ayaka is in Love with Hiroko and really enjoyed it! Ngl, my patience was wearing thin with the repetitive neutron star density antics in the first ~1/3, but once it got past that part into the meat of it I was totally hooked. I'll also be sure to give Utena another shot--I watched the first few episodes and really vibed with it but for some reason I didn't continue (think it was just a timing thing with stuff going on in my life). I'll also check out Otherside Picnic; tbh, I'm not usually one for fantasy manga but I read the first few chapters and it seems pretty neat.
I basically don't read novels of any kind these days even though I used to devour them in my youth (I remember going on a family vacation with an entire suitcase full of books and running out halfway through, to give you an idea), but that premise seems too good to pass up.
edit: also I just saw that you've also posted about Ore ga Watashi ni Naru made and I feel very seen. It's one of those works that I would feel like a complete asshole for liking if I just told someone the basic premise, but the way it's executed makes it very compelling. Which reminds me, I need to get back to reading it! The high quality scanlations gave way to speedscans when I was reading it so I switched over to the raws because I felt it deserved the effort to get as much of the subtext as possible. My Japanese is decent enough to get through it generally speaking, but since my kanji knowledge is lacking it's pretty effortful so I think I just lost the will to soldier on. Looks like Skye/Kurisu and her team are back on board (she is the absolute GOAT) and have published like twenty-odd chapters since I last checked so I'll definitely get back into it.
