メーリー　クリスマス！！！

Being a student is the closest I get to being NEET, though during breaks it's quite indistinguishable. At least I'm studying Japanese, which has vastly improved how I get to enjoy my hobbies. Going to school is still depressing, however. Not only do I have to constantly hide the fact that I'm a dirty otaku, but a good education confirms what most shut-ins intuit: that the world is a horrible place and life is less a matter of expanding one's horizons than of keeping the outer darkness from completely invading the fragile space that we call life. Pleasure is easy to find these days, but freedom is not: to just have the opportunity to do the right thing once is a saving grace from God. At this point, I am unsure whether to pursue wisdom to find a way out or to allow myself to rot as I contemplate other worlds more beautiful than this one. I do take a bit of proud in coming to this choice, however: at least I know which delusions not to waste my time with. You should be proud too, /jp/. I have seen and read about many radicals, and few match the purity of your withdrawal from society.

>mfw my only motivation to learn Japanese is to enjoy eroge and hentai without having to resort to shitty machine translation

OP here, didn't think this thread would still be alive. But seeing this makes me very happy. I'm glad someone else was able to experience it as deeply as I did.

Kamehameha was decommissioned on 2 April 2002 and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register the same day. She was the last of the original "41 for Freedom" fleet ballistic missile submarines in service, and the oldest submarine in the United States Navy at the time of her decommissioning. She holds the record for the longest service lifetime of any nuclear submarine — nearly 37 years.

This is...Absolutely beautiful

I started jizzing in my pants when the Kanon track started up. And then came the Chrono Trigger....

Fucking saved so very hard,I was only expecting a bunch of Metal/Rock from this Comiket. But then I find this gem. Again,FUKKIN SAVED

And this was on the back of those leaflets (originally written in Japanese, of course):

"Read this carefully as it may save your life or the life of a relative or friend. In the next few days, some or all of the cities named on the reverse side will be destroyed by American bombs. These cities contain military installations and workshops or factories which produce military goods. We are determined to destroy all of the tools of the military clique which they are using to prolong this useless war. But, unfortunately, bombs have no eyes. So, in accordance with America’s humanitarian policies, the American Air Force, which does not wish to injure innocent people, now gives you warning to evacuate the cities named and save your lives. America is not fighting the Japanese people but is fighting the military clique which has enslaved the Japanese people. The peace which America will bring will free the people from the oppression of the military clique and mean the emergence of a new and better Japan. You can restore peace by demanding new and good leaders who will end the war. We cannot promise that only these cities will be among those attacked but some or all of them will be, so heed this warning and evacuate these cities immediately."

See, American is not the villain the Jap nationalists wanted to paint them as. They gave the civilians enough time to escape and gave them reason to follow their advice. They wanted to use those cities as a test area for their super weapon in order to force into surrender the corrupt military clique ruling whom at the time was ruling Japan, but they didn't mean to voluntarily harm any human being.
If only mindless nationalism hadn't seized the hearts and minds of the Japanese, this act of benevolence wouldn't have gone to waste and more lives would have been spared.

Haven't seen it mentioned but it's worth noting that Makoto was caught at work doing unrelated shit (ie: translating muramasa on the laptop), so they limit his usage of computers at work. HOWEVER Makoto is such a hero, that no one can hold him back from translating, so he printed out the script on paper and translating it by handwriting now. Truly commendable.

OKKUSENMAN!
