Australia has a mixed system.

Theres some nuance to this but essentially the government covers most things but you might wait a long time, especially for anything that isnt actively killing you. You don't get to pick your doctor, you get the treatments that are govt approved and you get shuffled out the door just as fast as humanly possible.

Private health insurance means you can choose your specialist, you have more of a say in your treatments and if your specialist says "If you want to go home tomorrow you can, but I'd like you to stay in for 3 days ideally" and you can if you want.

Just because it can be done well doesnt mean it isn't a shortcut around good writing for a LOT of these stories.

It hands the writer a blank cheque for exposition and worldbuilding because the main character needs to have everything explained to them or figure everything out and it excuses any form of set up as to the how and why the character is in this situation.

Motherfucker preach!

I like some Anime because I get bored with Hollywood, and I really just want something different, I hate most anime because the 16yo boy who is thrust into the role of the hero surrounded by attractive half naked women with huge tits and is constantly embarrassed but yet somehow manages to constantly save the day because reasons is even more played out than the NCIS writing room.

The Isekai thing is so fucking played out, Its possibly the laziest writing trope ever.

I feel like there has to be some way to design one so that it's maximally space efficient while not being a depressing shithole.

I go hard on my cuts, the logic is like if I were doing no-fap November would I casually look at a bit of porn here and there? No, that would make it suck more and make it feel longer. Id rather get the results in 8 weeks of suck than 12. Theres room for pizza once I get back to maintenance.

Lie on the ground, tuck head into arms protect face and vitals, aggressively log roll back and forth.

Takes away their extreme agility advantage and uses my mass as a weapon... I think 100 would probably be a pretty fair number.

If you cant provide me with a recipe link for that I'm going to make it my mission in life to find out where you live and make you pay.

Mushroom pizza is absolutely and unreservedly my favorite thing to eat anywhere ever and probably always will be and that particular one looks like about the best one I've ever seen.

I am also in the middle of a cutting phase, pizza is absolutely off the menu at the moment and I am physically angry that you made me look at this.
