Chekhov's gun Nekoguchi's eraser finally went off. Eh?

@qornanali Yes, but they redraw the order for each round. So it may be better to get people who you may be able to work with or people who can fill roles on your squad. Ninomiya picked two snipers! What up with that?

This chapter had all of the drama of your favorite fantasy sports league draft! Genius!

@Tamerlane @alacaelum @Kaduufrrj @RealSaMu It wouldn't be a TSA (Transportation Security Agency) agent but a CBP (Customs and Border Protection) officer inspecting international arrivals at a U.S. airport. Visitors from Japan (and many other countries) can visit the U.S. for tourism or business...

You can't make Matsuko cuter. That's how you can be certain she's not just Kyubey in disguise.

@Purplelibraryguy No, the blurb was right. The quote is from Chandler's "The Long Goodbye." In the US, it is called "Rose's Sweetened Lime Juice" nowadays. Back in Chandler's time, it was still just called, "Rose's Lime Juice," leaving out the "Sweetened." They call it Rose's Lime Juice...

@123hamster Much of the variation in deaths per million, once they're in the thousands, can largely be accounted for by the population demographics. Countries with older populations, like Italy, have had more deaths. Countries with younger populations, like the US, have had fewer. The more...

@Tamerlane Increasing the supply of money, which is really all that printing more money is, only leads to inflation when supply of that money outstrips demand for it. That often happens when a government prints money to pay for deficit spending and keeps doing it without either borrowing money...

@Tamerlane Your description of Keynesian Economics doesn't really get to the heart of why increasing the supply of money could solve a deflationary crisis. The reason for a deflationary spiral, where the prices continue to decrease, is because of a lack of aggregate demand. There aren't as many...

@Tamerlane Better study more for that Macro test, because Keynesian economics will work in any economy with a market component, whether the means of production are owned by the state or by private entities. All Keynesian stimulus requires is government spending to increase the money in people's...

For all the shit people give @Koolio about putting politics into the credits page for the manga, the author puts a hell of a lot more politics in it than anyone else. Keynesian economics as a prescription for deflation? Dang commonist. Japanese commonist to boot. @knecht Some have argued that...

Thanks for translating this! Just sad it was murdered before its time.

Saronpasu = Salonpas! It is much easier to use.

@Aichan, if you open an avatar's image, you can get a full-size image. https://mangadex.org/images/avatars/23647.jpg?1524254146 Looking at the full size version of @Nakanowatari's avatar, it appears to be from Trinity Seven Liselotte Chronicle...

@loshi1505 and @Akemua Both of you are still wrong. Read a book and learn some damn history. The US did not lead in abolishing slavery, and it wasn't one of the first it actually stuck in. Mexico abolished slavery completed by 1829, and the only territory that resisted it was Texas, which...

@loshi1505 and @Akemua The US was one of the LAST countries to abolish slavery. Learn some damn history. Countries that abolished slavery before the US: France, Denmark-Norway, Haiti, The United Kingdom, Prussia, the Netherlands, Mexico, Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia, Greece... Peru had time to...

@Akemua Slavery was America's original sin, the state of sin in which it was born into when the country was founded. For those who aren't Christian, or don't know of Christian dogma concerning original sin, original sin is the state of sin into which each human being is born as a consequence of...

@Akemua "America's original sin" is slavery, the sin the United States had written into and protected in its Constitution in 1787. The United States was born in a state of sin. This is not a novel observation or argument. On a search of that phrase, google produces 21,300,000 results, where...
