Biden, Blinken, Kirby, and other state dept. ghouls are probably 'very concerned' and no doubt calling for independent investigation. Of course, they will never follow up on it, they will never pressure Israel, and said investigation will never materialize.

You wouldn't know the players, they go to a different school.

What's really crazy is that via PACs and the like, the politicians themselves could not even know what corporations sponsor them.

IMO I'd much rather a MC be 'irredeemable trash' or even a boring Kirito clone than be actively annoying. I dropped Black Clover in large part because of how obnoxious Asta was, and I don't think a MC can do much worse than causing someone to drop their show.

I've got a big soft spot for DitF so I wouldn't say Hiro. I could definitely be convinced of Kazuya tho, and would also like to submit Asta from Black Clover for consideration.

Personally, I very much dislike it. I'm willing to forgive/tolerate it when shows use it for a few scenes or complex models, but I'm not really interested in watching anything that is fully CG. Too me, hand drawn (especially cel) stuff has a certain beauty to it that is just simply unmatchable by any CG stuff that I've seen.

The Rising of the Shield Hero

I'm an enjoyer of isekai trash so when I saw Shield Hero at an 8 on MAL, and being generally well regarded, I expected it to be pretty solid. Instead it felt like every time something interesting was about to happen the author took the most boring route possible. Add to that the 'grade school' nature of some of the plot and I found it to be a miserable watch.

How's training and cleaning up mold supposed to line the pockets of the senator's buddy who owns the uniform company?

Two things not mentioned it that article:

  1. Why would anyone want to fight for a country that is so callously disinterested in the welfare of it's citizens?

  2. In the last quarter-century it has become extremely apparent that the US Military is not the "global force for good" that it wants to portray itself as. Most young people probably aren't interested in joining up to commit war crimes in the name of making money for the military industrial complex.

No, bins marked for recycling batteries, phones, etc.

I don't know if they were/are at every store though.
