it wasn't me
 
I read Hiroo Onoda’s book a couple of years ago. He was a Japanese soldier who kept fighting World War II on a small Filipino island until 1974. It only ended because they managed to fly in his former commanding officer, who by then was running a used bookstore, to formally relieve him of duty.

Onoda couldn’t imagine that Japan would surrender. Not lose, surrender. In his mind, it was supposed to be '100 million shattering diamonds.' If Japan was going to fall, then there would be no Japan left because all 100 million of them would have to die. Every man, woman, and child.

They dropped flyers and played recordings. They even had his brother sing his childhood kindergarten song while crying, begging him to stop shooting at Filipino fishermen and to finally give up. Onoda saw all of that and still thought it was an elaborate trick to get him to surrender. It was a surreal insight into the zealous almost robot like mentality they held.

Edit: Another detail that I forgot. As he was getting ready to be deployed his mother handed him a knife and told him to fucking kill himself with it if he got captured.

People like Gaydur make me believe that God sent them to Earth for us to laugh and to make us think that maybe we're not doing so bad.

I don't know why Josh didn't talk about the Contrapoints/Breadtube drama, thought that would be something he would be interested in talking about.

I saw Null at a grocery store in Florida yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen wheels of blue cheese in his hands without paying.
The latino woman at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Señor, you need to pay for those first ese.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical upper case i infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Did your cat soi face at the vtuber?
 

They asked people from different European countries what the biggest threat their countries are facing right now is.

Most said Russia, or Russian interference. A few said turkey. The funny one to me is that some lady starts talking about the adolescence series. Well that and the Canadian saying "the United States wanting Canada to be the 51st state" 😂

Don't worry leafs, we don't want your people, just your land and resources. Feel free to use your nearest state-sactioned suicide booth before annexation, it'll save us the trouble.
 
To add to the WW2 discussion, during the Bataan Death March, a guinea by the name of Mario Tonelli was confronted over his class ring (Notre Dame, he played football or something) by a Japanese soldier. The soldier took his ring only for later on a Japanese officer to approach him, in perfect English ask if anything was taken from him. Mario said yes his class ring, and the officer handed him the ring back. The officer actually studied at USC as well and felt some kind of kinship with Mario. This isn't to excuse the Japanese actions, they were a monstrous enemy that deserved the nukes. It's just an interesting story about how weird war itself is.
To paraphrase Mario himself; "After it was over, I tried looking him up but never found anything. I guess he didn't make it."

I wouldn't put it past them to do it. Granted, the Chinese love to inflate numbers in war, but I don't recall an instance where they exaggerated atrocities. Perhaps it wasn't FOAH JIRRION DEFF IN BATTER but what happened during and after can be taken as close enough

Almost all of Unit 731's research was deemed unscientific and not absorbed into the US medical canon.

The majority of it was just recreational wartime cruelty, seeing what they could do, like malicious children fooling around with frogs and firecrackers.

the "research" that was "absorbed" mostly had to do with injury treatment if i recall.
Japs were real keen into wounding the chinese and then try all sorts of wacky shit to "fix" them.
Orite, they also came up with techniques to treat hypothermia via trial and error.
"Hey we gave this chinese hypothermia and then put him into a hot tub, turns out that kirrs them!
