The terms say, "New Users Only," but does that mean new users of the mobile app or new users of Candy Crush in general?

One of the themes of the series is the toxicity of Japan's education culture. Getting trapped in SAO was arguably the best thing that could have happened to Asuna precisely because it derailed her mother's script for her life. She felt a doll, having to go to the right school, marry who her parents wanted, have the career they chose for her, and on and on. Wtihout Kirito and Yuuki, she never would have gottent he courage to stand up to her parents. She might well have wound up committing suicide over the arranged marriage had it proceeded as scheduled. And what do her cousins think of this situation? They pity her as the first of them to fail to live out the script that was prepared for them. The trap here is that none of them are acting as individuals; they're just being used as proxies by their parents to maintain status. Confronted with the question, "So what if I'm two years behind?" her mother doesn't have a good answer, exposing the issue that not allowing kids the opportunity to recover from mishaps is a serious problem.

So what happens when the premise goes unchallenged? Kyouji was expected to take over his father's hospital, but he wasn't able to live up to the expectations placed on him. This led him to spiral into a gaming addiction, get recruited by a VR-based gang, and generally try to replace reality with VR. Death Gun is a worst-case scenario, but even the better options aren't that great: Elope with Shino to America? They'd still wind up as professional gamers/gamblers, and Kyouji probably isn't good enough to pull that off, assuming they didn't simply get caught lying about their ages. Use his father's connections to get into and through medical school regardless of his grades? A bad doctor can kill a lot more people than a serial killer. Pursue another career path in Japan? His parents cut him off over bad grades; it's unlikely he'd have any support for becoming anything other than a doctor.

Then there's Lisbeth's speech: Society sees gamers as a drain that should be dealt with by conscripting them. The SAO survivors are treated with envy by fellow gamers and treated as time bombs by the rest of society, all because they were forced into a game-turned-war for two years. Anyone who doesn't fit the mold is a "problem," at best worthy of pity but really just expected to disappear.

Depending on the metric used to calculate distances, the volume of space in immediate proximity to a black hole's event horizon can approach infinity. What effect does a cosmological constant have on a black hole's gravity with this distortion of space just outside the event horizon?

The new movie is included with the Echoes of Aincrad disc, right? Is it the same disc or a separate disc?

They claimed to have stopped several years ago, but Live Action caught them servicing abortion clinics after they claimed to have stopped. However, I haven't seen anything from this decade about Stericycle. Did they eventually stop, or are they still servicing abortion clinics?

Yuna's songs were not dubbed. Does anyone have a translation?
