You are the highest paid member of your Adventuring Party. Not because you can fight, or have magic. You'd die to a cat, let's be honest. But because you can cook, clean, set up camp, also have a fierce sense of business. All things they more or less completely lack.

I read last chapters of Berserk. Didn't quite like how Kushan is shown in better light. Like 'oh see they're really inclusive, they are tolerant to other cultures' 'Ganishka didn't call council and now they do, so we have some say'. That's all in the context of war with Midland.

They have to side up with main cast to defeat Griffith, but that's it. Of course God Hand is greater evil, but when the apocalypse would be over Kushan will take over Midland and stop playing good.

Kushan is clearly a bold reference to mongols: multicultural empire, conquered large areas, calling up Kurultai. And in reality mongols were ruthless to whom they had conquered. Everyone freaked of them, they got their foot up to Hungary, and if they met resistance they would destroy your city. Khoresm was highly developed country, they had trade and science, and now it isn't. Balkh citizens tried to get themselves spared, but were fooled and slaughtered. Kozelsk population went extinct after two months of siege and attempt to sabotage enemy siege.

Not to say they were also trying to invade Japan. I think that's what people making manga after Miura(and I guess he too) should have known. But the gods spared them and sent a storm over their fleet.

So in total, I wouldn't trust Kushan, and no one should. Remember that main cast is their hostages, and even Bakiraka aren't trusted by everyone

The rare Seraphim Shark is believed to be a mutation of the bottom-dwelling Angelshark. This fish is highly valued as a trophy by anglers, who hold competitions to find the strange creature. Sightings are so uncommon that an evaluation of their conservation status has not yet been conducted.

Maid cleaning a massive chateau surely belonging to the richest people you’ve ever seen, and as she’s walking from room to room you notice that every single portrait is of her

planned obsolescence is definitely a thing but you should still learn basic ways to fix/take care of electronics, like swapping out batteries or doing a factory reset. I recently sold the roomba I got from my grandma (she didn't understand it and kept it in a box) like twelve years ago - it still works because I looked up how to swap out the battery when it started to fail after six years. I spent the last few weeks wondering if I needed a new smart watch because the one I won in a student fair raffle eight years ago was getting kind of glitchy - tried a factory reset and it works perfectly. I have a nine year old laptop that is still chugging along like it always has - every few years I purge all the files and programs I'm not using regularly and I think that helps. When the little pump in our cat water fountain stopped working I figured out how to take it apart and clean it and then it worked again. The other day I found the voice recorder I used for my college journalism work - it was still in great shape despite being in a cupboard for a decade because I took the AAA batteries out before I stored it, so nothing corroded and I can listen to my awkward college interviews if I want to.

the electronic devices in your life want to work, they want to be good at their jobs, you just have to give them a little help by letting them take a nap (shutdown) from time to time and cleaning them and not bricking their batteries.
