Dire. I tried to get a head start while travelling in Thailand last week.


Surprisingly tasty. I was unprepared for how crunchy and textured the grubs were though.

if that's the new animes its a young major. iirc she got a cyborg body as a young kid and made me spring this trap really hard

guess I spoke too soon and you're right. but the show makes it seem like the other section 9 guys knew her as a dude sometimes.

at one point lobsters were considered gross bugs and there was a law that you couldn't serve them more than 3x a week as institutional food

gits

um, no. they did gently caress this up. this one says she was made cyborg as a loving fetus. why does batou ask "why did you choose a female body"? also the lesbianism in SAC circumstantially supported the sex change story line.

if that's the case this show lost a trans character but gained a female one. which might be ok, since there's a certain misogynist message in the strong female character really being a man.

but maybe I just misunderstood or the translation was off.

i never picked up any vibe that the major was anything other than a woman, in fact in gits: sac it's confirmed that she was a girl before cyberization

Bug eating trip report: I really had no problem eating the hard exoskeleton insects. Crickets and grasshoppers? Just weird looking shrimp. The mealworms were only slightly more difficult, but texture and size wise, shoestring fries.

The most difficult to get to were the grubs and larva because goddamn look at that fat thumb sized fucker.



But you're supposed to cook them by slicing them so their fat leaks out and they cook in their own lard. That's practically bacon.
