  • Ishii Shiro is a prime example.

    He was the head of Unit 731 and did things like live and unanesthetized vivisections on people, bioloogical weapons testing on children, etc… Which is among the milder things. The US made a deal for all his data, and he lived his last years in peace and anonymity as a free man. He actually worked for free as a local doctor for a period.

    If you look up information about him in Japanese sources, most of it is apparently all about how was such a nice man who helped people, and basically that he did a little oopsie in the 40s.


    Yes, the science was valuable,

    That’s one of the worse parts, they didn’t really gain any of the knowledge they hoped for:

    However, the information obtained was not of significant value, as the U.S. biological warfare program had surpassed the capabilities of Unit 731 by 1943.

    It’s kind of difficult to relax and enjoy something when it is a seagull going IIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIII for 10min straight without a single pause, just outside your bedroom window, at 5am.

    Beetle = beetle.

    budgie smuggler = tight underwear/speedo

    chop, chomp = bite


    Animals tend to seek high-ground during floods, to avoid drowning. Doesn’t matter if it’s a human or a tree, so beetles and spiders climb him and hide. Although he’s happy that it’s beetles and not snakes.

    Around about there yeah, they can get up about 15kg but most are smaller. There are videos of people grabbing them by the neck and putting them back in the water.

    But people love to overplay geese and swans as these powerful beasts because of how aggressive and loud they are, and that they can cause bleeding and such with their beak. Some even throw around the idea that they can break your arm. Meanwhile their bones are much smaller and honeycombed. They’re about the strength of a really stale breadstick.



  • Yeah this is bad but this kind of stuff is the thing that can only be done once. Very much like the Unilateral SWIFT BAN on Russia. This prompted all of countries in the world to create an alternative and so they did, this case is the same thing. It might take some time but countries will find a way.

    I get that is what your gornment told you, but it literally is not true and there are plenty of sources to back that up.


    Russia, on their own, started developing SPFS almost a decade before they were banned, because they were threatened with a ban in 2014 if they didn’t stop invading more after Crimea. So when they invaded again they were rightfully banned.

    The SPFS functions with some banks covering about 15 countries, hoping for 20 soon. SWIFT is still happily used by over 200 countries.
