Criticisms of Rule 8 from "12 Rules for Life."
2023.05.27 23:39 BackNinety Criticisms of Rule 8 from "12 Rules for Life."
I just finished Rule 8 of "12 Rules for Life." I liked Rules 6 & 7 in the lead-up to Rule 8; I even thought Rule 7 was kind of a masterpiece. But I found Rule 8 to be mushy and confused. So I've decided to post some criticisms, and readers can decide for themselves if they have merit. (Page numbers refer to the paperback version of "12 Rules.")
Summary
In Rule 8 of "12 Rules," JBP talked about two different kinds of lies:
Still, I felt that these are two very different situations. And to me it makes more sense to address the underlying situations rather than focusing on the lies that ensue. If the underlying situations are addressed, then it becomes a lot easier to be truthful.
Anyway, to spell out the first situation in more detail:
1) Lies as a consequence of stubbornness or pride
JBP says that these kinds of lies are told for the purpose of influencing and manipulating others, and they arise when we become "possessed by some ill-formed desire." (p. 209) JBP blames this problem on pride: "Pride falls in love with its own creations, and tries to make them absolute." (p. 210) He talks about the temptation of rationality "to raise what it knows now to the status of an absolute," [...] Reason is something alive. It lives in all of us. [...] But reason falls in love with itself, and worse. It falls in love with its own productions." (p. 217-8)
What is the fix for this situation? Well, if you're pursuing some personal goal or you're stuck in some high-emotion situation and you run into increasing obstacles to your goals, maybe it's time to back off and reconsider. Instead of doubling down and pushing even harder to achieve your goal, maybe you need to think twice; maybe you're hitting obstacles because your goal is unrealistic; maybe if you push too hard it's going to blow up in your face.
JBP actually covered this in Rule 7: He said that there comes a time to relinquish your goals, that is, "to sacrifice that which is most dear to you." Sometimes obstacles and strife are nature's way of telling you that it's time for a change of course.
And what about the role of lying here?
Well, lying for purposes of manipulation is bad simply because it's what children do. Children lie; whereas adults aren't supposed to lie. If any adult lies, it becomes a huge embarrassment when the lie is discovered; the adult is then seen as infantilized, immature, and unreliable, like a child.
By adulthood most people have learned not to lie. So people who lie in adulthood tend to be their own worst enemies; sooner or later they usually get caught out. Lying is basically like walking around with your zipper down and your privates hanging out: it's just not a good look. It's basic hygiene; adults are supposed to know better.
Of course, there are plenty of times and places where lies are permitted and even expected: Little white lies, little polite social courtesies, and even political spin. But lying for purposes of crudely manipulating others is mostly seen as out-of-bounds, and it's usually not hard to spot such a thing. So it's not really that much of a big deal: Adults generally know better in the first place.
2) Lies as a consequence of fear or passivity
JBP says that this kind of lie often shows up due to conflict-avoidance. JBP says that this is "weakness of character," and he equates it to those who stand by passively while countries become totalitarian. He goes on to say that the success of Communism was due to "the almost universal proclivity of the Soviet citizen to falsify his own day-to-day personal experience, deny his own state-induced suffering, and thereby prop up the dictates of the rational, ideology-possessed communist system." (p. 215)
First off, it's pretty much sentimental nonsense to suggest that Communism fed on lies and that it could have been avoided or overthrown by simply telling the truth. That kind of statement may constitute a moral or psychological truth (of a sort), but it's not historically true.
Russia and China were third-world nations when Communism arose there. The peasants in the countryside were dirt-poor, living in medieval conditions, and totally unarmed. Foreign great powers wanted to destabilize Russian and China, so they equipped revolutionaries with modern weaponry, helped them take over the capitals, and that was all she wrote. With the countryside poor and unarmed, the revolutionaries could simply starve out any opposition, much as the Soviets did to Ukraine in the 1930s (the "Holodomor"). And when the Soviet commissars came around, you had a choice: You lied or you died. And given that choice, why martyr yourself trying to tell the truth?
Fascism in Germany happened much the same way. After WWI, Germany was so destroyed that citizens had to fill a wheelbarrow full of cash and take it to the store just to buy a single loaf of bread. The nation was so prostrate that it didn't take much for a small group of determined fanatics to seize power.
This is one of the reasons that the world pursued "globalization" for the past half-century: We were trying to lift the world out of third-world poverty status. Third-world countries are ripe for Communist take-overs. Today, in the 2020s, most of the world is second-world or better, and Communist takeovers are no longer much of a worry (except in a few poverty-stricken pockets).
In other words, the successes of Communism and Fascism were due first and foremost to economic factors. Meanwhile, the people were effectively just meat in a meat grinder.
As for the question of fighting incompetent bosses and coworkers in your immediate life: That's practically tantamount to quixotic tilting at windmills. I've worked in large bureaucracies, and there are layers upon layers of incompetence. That's pretty much the norm. You can fight it, but it's the equivalent of bashing your head on a brick wall. The better course is to suck it up and live with it, or get out of there and go somewhere more to your taste.
Much of the world's population functions at the level of doing the absolute minimum possible, and badly at that; and if you're determined to fight incompetence, then you'll have a lifetime of conflict ahead of you.
Getting back to the subject of fear, passivity, and conflict-avoidance: So what's the fix here? Well, by all means tell the truth when you can, but don't martyr yourself in the process. Do a cost/benefit analysis, and proceed accordingly. Like all things in life: Pick your battles.
When I was in the Marines, I was taught that the best way to wage war is to avoid so-called "fair fights." If a fight is fair, that means you have a 50% chance of dying, and that's way too costly. You're not supposed to die; you're supposed to win. So the best fight is one where you possess overwhelming force, in other words, where you have a 90% chance of winning: Make sure the other guy dies, not you.
So a trained fighter knows: Do a cost/benefit analysis, and pick your battles accordingly. Don't be afraid of fighting, but also don't fight battles that are going to be too costly or that force you to martyr yourself. Martyrdom is bad. Very bad. Fighters don't martyr themselves.

Summary
In Rule 8 of "12 Rules," JBP talked about two different kinds of lies:
- Lies as a consequence of stubborn or prideful pursuit of an illegitimate agenda ("sin of commission")
- Lies as a consequence of fear or passivity in the face of injustice ("sin of omission")
Still, I felt that these are two very different situations. And to me it makes more sense to address the underlying situations rather than focusing on the lies that ensue. If the underlying situations are addressed, then it becomes a lot easier to be truthful.

Summary
Anyway, to wrap up:
- Concerning lies as a consequence of stubbornness or pride: I would treat this situation as a consequence of the bivalence between good and evil, or between morality and immorality, etc. To the degree that you run into obstacles and increasingly become more manipulative and/or dishonest in your efforts, that's your signal that you're falling over toward the "evil" side of the bivalence and that maybe it's time to back off as described in Rule 7.
- Concerning lies as a consequence of fear or passivity: As JBP suggests, you don't want to spend your life hunkered down, hiding, and in fear. You want to have a natural bias toward facing your fears and adopting challenges. See it as a choice between reactivity and proactivity, and choose the latter. But at the same time, use a little common sense. Don't rush into the lion's den unarmed. Don't martyr yourself. Do a cost/benefit analysis, and pick your battles accordingly. And when faced with overwhelming force on the part of your enemies, be smart: Break out the chapstick, pucker up, and start kissing ass if that's what a cost/benefit analysis dictates. Life's a battlefield, so pick your battles. Nothing wrong with a "strategic retreat" if it leaves you alive to fight another day.
2023.05.27 21:50 TrajedyAnn Returning Characters vs. Debuting Characters by the numbers (LONG post)
I was in another thread where someone said, "NRS likes to make new toys and then quickly abandon them" - Referring to the fact they make new characters and then never use them again. This made me curious to break down the numbers - And while I was GOING TO respond to that post originally... this just got so long and so detailed I thought it would be wasted on a mere response to someone else's thread, and decided to make a brand new post...
That took a while.
To sum up:
submitted by TrajedyAnn to MortalKombat [link] [comments]
First some "guidelines" if you will ...
Just pre-emptively addressing a few knits I know people are likely to pick...- I threw out all Guest characters, as well as MK vs. DC completely. This is me strictly examining the number of debuting vs. returning MK characters in each generation of the mainline MK games.
- I also threw out duplicate versions of the same character appearing in the same game. This includes but is not limited to: Cyber Smoke vs. Human Smoke, Sub-Zero vs. Classic Sub-Zero, Sub-Zero vs. Cyber Sub-Zero, the MKII verisons of Kung Lao & Jax in MK Trilogy. The MK1 versions of Raiden & Kano in MK Trilogy, and so on. I'm not double-dipping on any character that appeared twice on the same roster.
- Extension of the last thing I said: I also didn't dig into the nitty gritty of Bi-Han vs. Kuai Liang. For my purposes, Sub-Zero = Sub-Zero, Noob Saibot = Noob Saibot. Thus endeth the thought process on those two. If Sub-Zero is in a game, Sub-Zero is in a game. If Noob Saibot is in a game, Noob Saibot is in a game.
- Caveat on the thing I just said: For MKD - I did tally Noob & Smoke as 2 separate characters, as this is literally the only game where they're forced into a tag team, and it was easier to treat them as 2 separate characters rather than treat "Noob-Smoke" like a completely unique 3rd character (which he totally isn't) - Conversely... I did NOT separate Ferra-Torr, because they (as yet) have never appeared as 2 separate characters. Those two are counted together. Also Triborg is a unique character with a unique backstory, and stolen powers so Triborg is just Triborg (Just as Chameleon is just Chameleon - Same situation) - So no Cyrax, Sektor & Smoke did not appear in MKX. Triborg did.
- For the most part I'm only considering characters that were a playable and/or fightable presence in the main-game traditional arcade-style ladder or versus mode - Which means I threw out characters who only did minoincomplete Kameo fights in side or story modes. This means I threw out all the MKDA characters who only had cameo fights in MKD's Konquest mode (This means Monster too). This means I threw out Tremor's cameo in MK9's Tower Challenge. This means I threw out "story mode only" fights like Rain & Sindel in MKX, or Cyrax & Sektor in MK11. For the purposes of my tabulating - I do not consider any of these characters "part of that game's roster"
- For the most part what I DO consider part of the game's main roster is: Playable characters obviously (whether normal or hidden), Main tower bosses, and unique hidden boss fights (like Jade & Smoke in MKII or Noob in MK3)
- Also - I have to lump each "generation" of games together for simplicities sake, otherwise this gets way too messy. So for the MK3 generation, for instance, we're tabulating: MK3, UMK3 Arcade (added Ermac), UMK3 Console (added Rain), MKT PS1 (Added Chameleon), MKT N64 (Added Khameleon), Etc. We're lumping all this together into the MK3 generation because these games all shared one story, and iterated on the same base game (which was MK3). Doing it sub-game by sub-game is a pain - And I don't think it's unfair to lump these games together, the same way we'd lump DLC into the modern games (like Aftermath & the Kombat Packs CLEARLY get tabulated alongside MK11, so... yeah... These games were just DLC before DLC existed)
- And I'm skipping over side-games for debut purposes. Yes I know Shinnok & Quan Chi debuted in Mythologies, I'm still counting them as new in MK4, when they became playable/fightable in a fighting game roster. Yes I know Tremor debuted in Special Forces, AND THEN did the Kameo in MK9, I'm still counting him as debuting in MKX, when he became fully fledged character in one of the main fighting games. OKAY - So I debuted Sareena in MKDA, even though she debuted on a crappy handheld version, and you could ARGUE that crappy handheld version didn't make her a fully-fledged fighter in a MAINLINE title - But she DID have a character bio and she DID have an arcade mode ending... both of which were set WITHIN Deadly Alliance's overall narrative, so while it WAS a crap game, I still consider her a legitimate character in one of the fighting games, debuting AFTER MK4, but PRIOR to Armageddon. Believe me I know it's muddy - I did my best - Don't come at me, lol.

Final thoughts...
PHEW...That took a while.
To sum up:
- 10 characters debuted in MK. In MKII, 7 returned, 3 were dropped.
- 10 characters debuted in MKII. In MK3, 10 returned, none were dropped.
- 12 characters debuted in MK3. In MK4, 2 returned, 10 were dropped.
- 8 characters debuted in MK4. In MKDA, 1 returned, 7 were dropped.
- 12 characters debuted in MKDA. In MKD, 5 returned, 7 were dropped.
- 9 characters debuted in MKD. In MKA, 9 returned, none were dropped.
- 2 characters debuted in MKA. In MK9, None returned, 2 were dropped.
- 1 character debuted in MK9. In MKX, None returned, 1 was dropped.
- 10 characters debuted in MKX. In MK11, 5 returned, 5 were dropped.
- MK4 is the first game where returning characters from the direct previous game generation returning in the next game take a dramatic drop. Almost no MK3 characters appeared in MK4, beyond Cyrax & Sektor who were only added in a later updated. Prior to this, Returning characters outnumbered dropped characters (BUT the roster was also much lower overall, and less in need of trimming)
- Armageddon is the only game since MK4 where returning newcomers outnumber dropped newcomers (and that's only because it was a complete roster)
- MK11 is the only game since MK4 (save Armageddon) where dropped newcomers DON'T outnumber returning newcomers (5/5 split)
- The only game generation in the franchise where new characters outnumber returning characters is MKII
- MK3 & MKA are the only generations to ever achieve a 100% complete roster (Everyone knows this, I just thought it merited mentioning)
- There are typically between 8 and 10 characters from the original MK game in every subsequent game. The ONLY game where this isn't true is MKD, which only has 5.
- The generations with the highest number of debuting new characters are MK3 & MKDA, each tied with 12 new characters. MK3 however, only had 8 new characters at launch with 4 added in subsequent updates (of which there were many), wheras MKDA had 11 new characters at launch w/ only 1 added in subsequent updates.
- The generation with the lowest number of debuting new characters is MK9 w/ only 1 (Narrowly edging out MKA, which had 2)
- MKX actually has a lower number of MK characters on the roster than MK9, even though the overall roster of MKX was larger, owing to the fact that the overall number of guest characters in MKX doubled. Guests went up, MK characters went down. (And I even threw out 1 of 2 Sub-Zeros from 9 for that matter)
- Armageddon had by far the most returning characters of any game w/ 61. Followed by MK9 with 31. And MK11 w/ 29.
- While MK11 had only 4 more MK characters total than MKX, The number of returning characters in MK11 (29) increased dramatically over MKX (19), owing to a greatly reduced number of new characters, which while typical for nostalgia rosters like MKA & MK9, is not typical for a "new" roster. 11 by far has lowest number of new characters when you throw out the Rosters of MK9 & MKA. Prior to that, MK4 had the lowest number of new characters w/ 8 which still doubles that of MK11.
- The games with the smallest gap between total number of new characters and returning characters are tied, each with a 3 character difference: MKII (7/10 split) - MKDA (15/12 split)
- The game w/ the largest gap is obviously Armageddon w/ a 59 character difference (61/2) split, followed by MK9 with a 30 character gap (31/1) and MK11 w/ a 25 character gap (29/4)
- Kronika is at present the only character who has never been playable
- Since the start of the NRS timeline, every character from the MK, MKII & MK3 generation has returned at least once with only 3 exceptions: Motaro, Chameleon & Khameleon, none of whom have been in a game since Armageddon.
- Only 4 of 8 characters from MK4 have returned in the NRS timeline: Shinnok, Quan Chi, Tanya & Fujin
- Only 3 of 12 characters from MKDA have returned in the NRS timeline: Kenshi, Bo Rai Cho & Frost
- No character from Deception or Armageddon has ever returned in the new Netherealm Studios timeline. (Kinda crazy when you consider Deception has one of the most beloved story-modes in the franchise) (Not so crazy when you consider it has one of the least loved debuting rosters... A couple exceptions not withstanding)
- Currently only 11 characters have appeared in a single game/generation and might be considered TRULY "one and done" and abandoned: Taven, Daegon, Takeda, Kung Jin, Ferra-Torr, Tremor, Triborg, Geras, Kollector, Cetrion & Kronika; Taven & Daegon being the only ones who are more than 2 games old (it is, after all, a lot more forgivable/understandable that characters from MKX or MK11 haven't had a chance to reappear yet - And they may again soon - We already know Takeda will)
- Chameleon, Khameleon, Meat & Mokap have all been playable in more games/generations than the 11 characters above (By no means however - Have they been more fleshed out)
2023.05.27 19:41 NostraDamnUs I need help with Ancestor Oracle
Background
I fucked up. I consider myself a TTRPG veteran, not super old school but plenty of experience with different systems from GURPS to 3.5 to World of Darkness to Call of Cthulhu and plenty of 5e. Everything from meat grinders to heavy RP campaigns. Played through the PF2e starter set, really liked it, and our group decided to play Outlaws of Alkenstar. I love making suboptimal choices work (one of my favorite characters was an Undying Patron Warlock in 5e) through roleplay and good understanding of the rules/game. So when I started really drafting my first PF2e character and saw that RPGBot listed Curse of Ancestors as a "Bad, useless option", I talked with the more experienced GM and saw a challenge; I could make this work!
Seeing as how I've been unconscious every fight of chapter 1, I'm starting to suspect I'm going to have a lot of trouble making it work (and that I'm not very good at Pathfinder 2e). We're a party of gnolls (business gnolls), and I thought it would be super cool to roleplay a bonekeeper-aspiring Oracle haunted by the old bonekeepers of her clan. I even drafted backstories for each of the three ancestor types, Ribsnot the martial focused ancient warlord, Goldfang the OG skill-focused business gnoll, and Cackle-Caw the spell-focused matron. Made macros to make managing the curse process easier, the whole 9. Was super excited.
Now, I'm kinda hoping the community can help me salvage this character into something I'm going to actually enjoy playing and spend less time staring at the "Unconscious" overlay in Foundry.
The Original Plan
Here's the offending character in question, some incomplete choices in there like Fey Influence I was messing around with but its close enough to the plan, which was to have something I could do in combat every round no matter what ancestor was prominent. Spells were self-explanatory. Martial was an easy option given the race, I'm a gnoll; bite people in melee combat and carry a few javelins for ranged options when needed. Skills were a bit harder, but I figure I could lean heavily into Deception and get some feints/bluffs in and the associated feats.
Edit Note: Current spells are Heal and Harm for Level 1, and Guidance (granted by Ancestors), Detect Magic, Haunting Hymn, Stabilize, Shield, and Light for cantrips.
I foresaw a couple of problems, and tried to build solutions into the character sheet:
All of these weird choices mean the character won't really come online until level 3 or 4, and level 1 has been absolutely miserable so far. Sure I've gotten unlucky with some natural 20 crits and max damage (character feels cursed irl), but I'm really worried that I'm going to go through all this effort to have a character that's not just "suboptimal" but an active liability to the other players at the table. I've been force-fed potions five separate times. There's only been 6 encounters so far.
I've at least been able to heal people, which is nice, but I feel like my toolkit just ... doesn't do anything. Haunting Hymn is nice but when I get in melee range I get slapped. Ancestral touch is awful and has the same problem. Harm is a decent enough spell I think, but all my spell slots have been used on Heals because I either need to heal someone in combat or I need to heal myself back up after going down. Death's call was supposed to be a nice bump of temp HP, but I'm either out of range cowering for my life or the 2-3 HP I get back winds up not being the difference between going down or not.
Are these just early game caster blues? Does it get better? I feel like I haven't even interacted with the Ancestor part yet and I'm already dreading next week's session with some boss that might make this whole thread pointless when my character goes down for good.
If anyone has any tips, level 2 or 3 choices that can help, etc, I'd greatly appreciate it. I love the concept of this character, but I feel like I might need to replace her with a little more of a munchkin if things continue down this path.
Appreciate you all! PF2e community has been great so far.

Edit Note: Current spells are Heal and Harm for Level 1, and Guidance (granted by Ancestors), Detect Magic, Haunting Hymn, Stabilize, Shield, and Light for cantrips.
I foresaw a couple of problems, and tried to build solutions into the character sheet:
- Problem 1: Bites falling off - A d8 is pretty good for a natural weapon, but without some magical upgrades it would fall off pretty damn quickly. Pouring through the options I found Magic Fang. +1 striking and an extra damage die? Absolutely. Sick. Felt like it almost single handedly solved my issues, and I didn't plan to play this character into high enough levels where that would fall off. Unfortunately...
- Problem 1.5: Acquiring Magic Fang - Magic Fang is a Primal spell. I am a divine caster. Fortunately, Oracles have Divine Access, but I really wanted to make sure I was following a lore-friendly deity for gnolls, and uh, the only options I found were evil gods. Specifically Lamashtu, "The Mother". Okay. I can work with that, Chaotic Evil isn't Chaotic Stupid, and if I morality-lawyer my loyalty to the clan as an extension of myself, I can play an "evil" character that's not going to be miserable to be at the table with. I'll roleplay more being scared/placating of Lamashtu than worshiping out of love.
- Problem 2: Short Range & Squishy - Basically everything I can do happens at 30 ft or less until I start getting some better spells. With an evil alignment, Divine Lance is basically out the window. That leaves Haunting Hymn (on brand for gnolls, I'll call it a win) and ... harm? Ancestral Touch is awful but w/e, maybe I get lucky on some fear hits. But yeah, how do I survive on a d8 in medium-close range? Looking through the archetypes...
- Problem 2.5: Fitting in Champion Archetype - Heavy armor proficiency just for picking up the archetype?! That's a nice AC boost, and I needed some strength anyway for the bite attacks. Sure now my business gnoll is an anti-paladin starting at level 2 and has to deal with that whole "tenets of evil" thing, but my GM trusts me and supports my shenanigans to not fuck everything up. I think. He didn't say no when I showed him the plan. Its Alkenstar; if there's any place I can get away with being an evil hero its in the wild west. Can pick up some extra HP later, maybe the reaction if I want, etc.
- Problem 3: Skills & Feints - I accidently got a lot of skill proficiencies. I kind of feel like a bard. The extra ancestry feat opens up stuff like Gnoll Lore, Champion archetype gives me Religion and a skill of my choice. By level 3 or 4 I'll be trained in almost every skill. But I need a combat skill option, and given charisma I figure the options are Intimidate or Deception. I went with deception for the feints, and will pick up skill feats as I get them to make them good.
All of these weird choices mean the character won't really come online until level 3 or 4, and level 1 has been absolutely miserable so far. Sure I've gotten unlucky with some natural 20 crits and max damage (character feels cursed irl), but I'm really worried that I'm going to go through all this effort to have a character that's not just "suboptimal" but an active liability to the other players at the table.

2023.05.27 11:55 Just-a-guy-for-you 40 [M4F] #Bordeaux #France seeking a serious relationship! Please read my post in full!
Hi ladies I’m a 40 year old guy I am originally from England and currently living in another part of Europe for the last few years I’m not giving out my exactly location on this post.
I am a very well spoken guy you could say I sound a bit posh the way I speak I have a strong south English accent I am originally from Reading Berkshire and I later lived in Oxford England before moving to where I am now.
What I am looking for is a serious relationship that leads to marriage that’s based on love and friendship. I have very strong morals boundaries and standards I live by. I have never used dating apps at all I never will to be honest I don’t think there a good idea at all. I know I’ll be a good loyal man to you and a good father I won’t ever abandon my children and walk away from them.I know also be a really good lover to you too
I do not Watch Porn i have no addictions I don’t smoke I don’t drink heavily and I’ve never touched any illegal drugs. Porn is causing unrealistic expectations in relationships I have no unrealistic expectations for intimate things once I get in a relationship. I have no other addictions and I’m in very good health with no serious health conditions
Intimacy is something I only want to have with one woman and is something I also don’t want to rush into I want to take our time getting to know each other properly. I really want to be a father in the future very much so I want a woman that also wants children the same as me. Please be in your 20s & 30s
I want to be In a loving caring supportive relationship and marriage. I believe that being intimate should be very special between two people and it should also be gentle between two people. I am a Virgin and I am not interested In any kind of meaningless stuff.
I could never have an affair or cheat on someone as I say I only want to be with one woman and share my body with one woman. Ideally I’d also prefer to be with a woman that’s also a virgin.
I only want to be married once in my life this is why I haven’t settled yet I don’t just want to settle with just anyone. Another thing is I’m extremely family orientated family is very important for me in fact I actually live with my parents at the moment I have no desire to live by myself I’m not someone that likes living alone so you will have to be okay with that and also the fact I don’t work at the moment again you will have to be okay with that from the get go.
My interests include photography gym swimming nature beaches walking camping hiking travel reading music I love classical music I listen to classic FM uk during the day which is classical music 24/7. I also love food Im a big foodie! I also love animals especially cats and dogs! I love technology too. I also love eating in good restaurants and red wine is my favourite drink I know a few good eating spots! I am also a very strong swimmer I would love to hear from women that also love swimming as this is something I’d love to do together!
I am not vegan or vegetarian I love meat and dairy foods. I love Italian Indian Mexican food cooking from scratch is how I mostly roll and I don’t eat much sugary foods or processed or junk foods.
I am also not liberal and I don’t follow any liberal political movements including woks culture I’d like the someone who is the same as me on that.
I am 6ft 4 dark blonde hair hazel eyes rugby player build and Natural smooth body which means I’m naturally smooth chest back arms and legs. I have freckles on my arms and legs plus big hands and feet. I do havé a big frame to go with it. I have a very deep manly voice too which I’ve been told women really like and I don’t aspire to look like men on social media and reality tv I have a very natural body type I prefer Being natural basically I embrace being natural.
In a woman I like a natural body type and no heavy makeup fake tan fake nails fake hair extensions fake eyelashes. I do also like women that don’t show too much off that dress conservatively and modestly plus you don’t wear too skimpy bikini on the beach. You also don’t aspire to look like women on social media and reality tv. Basically I like women that have a completely natural body and are natural all over. I do find women that are feminine and embrace there feminine side extremely attractive can’t tell you how attracted I am to that.
Please also be kind caring sweet easygoing gentle supportive trustworthy genuine and You have never done any meaningless stuff at all and have never cheated or had an affair either ideally as I say I’d prefer you to also be a virgin.
Please mention the word milkshakes when you send me a message and tell me more about you your age location and what you are most passionate about please don’t just say hi or hey or hello I’m unlikely to respond to that at all.

2023.05.27 08:01 Squillliam_Fancyson Bought pork chops on Wed. Opened the package today and smelled bad, though it says use by 6/18?
 | I bought these pork chops from trader joe's on Wed. I was going to have them for dinner but as soon as I cut open the packaging there was a really strong smell coming out of the package. Leaning in to smell closely it smelled sourancid. I was confused though because it looks good and I had just bought it?? Anyways I threw it away to be safe. submitted by Squillliam_Fancyson to traderjoes [link] [comments] But I realized the use by date says 6/18... that's almost 3 weeks away. That can't be right? Could the date be printed wrong? Also (dumb question) I've never returned food/asked for refunds, but for almost $10 I think I should.. Im ok with store credit or swapping some items for it. What should I say or expect if I want to go in and get a refund? Or credit? Or just replacement item? Do I just tell me cashier when checking out? |
2023.05.27 02:10 technoskald None More Black (review)
NB: This review includes spoilers for the scenario and is intended only for Keepers looking to run the scenario.
As a beginner friendly scenario, the Keeper only needs to handle a handful of NPCs and a straightforward set of situations. This simplicity allows lots of room for custom additions, such as more detailed encounters with the medical examiner, law enforcement personnel, on-campus interactions, or the presence of organized crime. Additionally, it can work as a campaign starter by offering potential links to other material through the antagonist’s journal, his father’s notes, or university connections made during the investigation.
The investigators are all linked in various ways to a mob boss, who asked them to check on his wife's relative, a local college student who was unresponsive to contact. Upon arrival, the characters discovered a corpse in a boarding house room, along with evidence of usage of a previously unknown drug called “The Black”.
In a twist of events, the mob boss, uncomfortable with the drug trade, ordered the investigators to terminate the drug source. The investigators met up with a rehab doctor who identified the substance, after which they visited the campus where it turned out several other students had also died from use of the drug. They got a lead on the local pusher, and after staking out the quad, on Saturday might they grabbed their man and shoved him in a car to take him for an “interview”. Out of fear of his boss, he wouldn’t talk, but they found another bit of evidence that led them to an old meat processing plant.
Upon arrival, they had to deal with a couple of “faceless flying devils” (nightgaunts) but made really short work of them. Inside, they found a huge monster made of black tar-like substance with bits of cow carcass mixed in (skulls, hooves, etc) as well as the main dealer behind the whole operation,
For the big fight, one investigator squared off against the villain, while the other two tried to deal with the monster. Nothing worked against it until, thru experimentation, they discovered that the monster was vulnerable to flowing water and sort of “rinsed” it down the grates, as well as finally taking down the main villain.
"None More Black" does its job as an engaging beginner scenario for Call of Cthulhu, offering a good mix of intrigue, terror, and tactical challenges. With minor adjustments, an experienced Keeper could turn it into an even more immersive experience for launching a new campaign or adding some noir-inspired suspense to their ongoing storyline.

Overview
"None More Black," an introductory scenario included in "Doors To Darkness," weaves a dark tale of a deceased student, illicit drug use, and the investigation to trace its origin & stop its manufacture and distribution. The scenario has themes of drugs, desperation, and rage, for something close to a noir thriller feel.As a beginner friendly scenario, the Keeper only needs to handle a handful of NPCs and a straightforward set of situations. This simplicity allows lots of room for custom additions, such as more detailed encounters with the medical examiner, law enforcement personnel, on-campus interactions, or the presence of organized crime. Additionally, it can work as a campaign starter by offering potential links to other material through the antagonist’s journal, his father’s notes, or university connections made during the investigation.
Playthrough Recap
My group played thru the scenario in three sessions (including the investigator development phase) of about 3 hours each. We used a subset of the Pulp Cthulhu rules, set to about mid pulp.The investigators are all linked in various ways to a mob boss, who asked them to check on his wife's relative, a local college student who was unresponsive to contact. Upon arrival, the characters discovered a corpse in a boarding house room, along with evidence of usage of a previously unknown drug called “The Black”.
In a twist of events, the mob boss, uncomfortable with the drug trade, ordered the investigators to terminate the drug source. The investigators met up with a rehab doctor who identified the substance, after which they visited the campus where it turned out several other students had also died from use of the drug. They got a lead on the local pusher, and after staking out the quad, on Saturday might they grabbed their man and shoved him in a car to take him for an “interview”. Out of fear of his boss, he wouldn’t talk, but they found another bit of evidence that led them to an old meat processing plant.
Upon arrival, they had to deal with a couple of “faceless flying devils” (nightgaunts) but made really short work of them. Inside, they found a huge monster made of black tar-like substance with bits of cow carcass mixed in (skulls, hooves, etc) as well as the main dealer behind the whole operation,
For the big fight, one investigator squared off against the villain, while the other two tried to deal with the monster. Nothing worked against it until, thru experimentation, they discovered that the monster was vulnerable to flowing water and sort of “rinsed” it down the grates, as well as finally taking down the main villain.
What went well
This scenario blended its noir elements very well: mob politics, drug trafficking, and the contrast between academic and industrial settings. My players leaned in really well, especially during their absolute destruction of the nightgaunts, which were swiftly defeated by the group. The final showdown succeeded due to the players’ experimentation and creative use of the environment. Also, the final monster is suitable for teaching players to fight smart or run, otherwise they'll die. Improvisation will be relatively easy for newer Keepers, with NPCs fitting into classic tropes such as boarding house manager, university student, and Blackhead (drug addict).What didn’t
Not everything went perfectly. My investigators insisted on getting all of their evidence by interviewing their captive and other NPCs before that, so eventually I just put the clue into his pocket once it became clear that they weren’t going to pursue other investigation methods. I also hoped for a deeper exploration of the scenario, including attempts to experiment with The Black or going to other locations.What I'd change
In retrospect, I'd provide better incentives and more obvious paths for the characters to research the main villain before progressing to the slaughterhouse encounter. This would significantly enrich the storyline and the players' overall understanding of the whole context."None More Black" does its job as an engaging beginner scenario for Call of Cthulhu, offering a good mix of intrigue, terror, and tactical challenges. With minor adjustments, an experienced Keeper could turn it into an even more immersive experience for launching a new campaign or adding some noir-inspired suspense to their ongoing storyline.
2023.05.27 01:07 Late-Vacation8909 Overly salted!
We’ve been using a smoker for about a year now & for the most part things are really shaping up, but my god something’s come out so overly salted. Much to the point of being inedible.
I don’t understand how this process is happening, we aren’t adding pounds of salt to things. It’s been inconsistent with types of meat as well. I can salt pack a prime rib & put it in the oven or pickle juice brine chicken & fry it with consistent results, but somewhere along the smoking process the salt is getting out of hand.
Is there some component to the smoking process that we are screwing up? For reference we are using diamond crystal kosher.

2023.05.25 11:10 Researchnester192 Alternative Protein Market Insights: Emerging Trends and Profitable Business Opportunities
 | Research Nester assesses the growth and market size of the global alternative protein market which is anticipated to be on account of the growing population of vegans and vegetarians followed by rising innovation in alternative proteins. submitted by Researchnester192 to u/Researchnester192 [link] [comments] New York – March 21, 2023- Research Nester’s recent market research analysis on “Alternative Protein Market: Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2035” delivers a detailed competitors analysis and a detailed overview of the global alternative protein market in terms of market segmentation by type, application, and by region. Rising Preference for Vegan Foods to Promote Global Market Share of Alternative Protein The global alternative protein market is estimated to grow majorly on account of the rising population of vegetarians and vegans. The greatest alternatives for vegans to manage their protein consumption are alternative proteins such as microbial and plant-based proteins. Vegetarianism was practiced by over 79 million individuals as of September 2021, accounting for around 1% of the world's population. Moreover, nearly 12,000 participants from the UK, the US, Canada, and New Zealand participated in the poll. Approximately 43% of people used animal products prior to becoming vegan and around 52% of people who became vegan were vegetarians before that. Seitan, tempeh, tofu, and jackfruit are among popular plant-based protein substitutes that have been used for generations. On the other hand, the fungi protein is extracted by the procedure of fermentation, the different fermentation processes are liquid-air interface fermentation, the solid-state fermentation, and submerged fermentation. Zero involvement of animals makes plant and fungi-based protein the best options for vegans. On the other hand, the rising demand for protein in animal feed is also expected to boost market growth. There were approximately 996 million cattle in the globe in 2021; this number rose to almost 1 billion in 2022. Moreover, soybeans continue to be the most important and preferred source of high-quality vegetable protein for the creation of animal feed. There is 22.65 million livestock in urban areas and 514.11 million in rural regions total in India. Moreover, as per the statistics of Eurostat, there were 142 million pigs, 76 million cattle, 60 million sheep, and 11 million goats in the European Union. Some of the major growth factors and challenges that are associated with the growth of the global alternative protein market are: Growth Drivers: · Surge in Consumption of Animal Feed · Rising Demand for Vegan Food Challenges: Animal feed is subject to strict guidelines, moreover, there are no standards for the use of insect-based proteins in the food business that are some of the major factors anticipated to hamper the global market size of alternative protein. On the other hand, alternative proteins are associated with a lot of serious allergies which are likely to impede the market growth. Food allergies to insects have been connected to the worms of silkworms, mealworms, locusts, grasshoppers, cicadas, bees, clanis bilineata, and the food coloring carmine. Tropomyosin and arginine kinase have both been identified as allergens from insects. These two pan-allergens are known for their cross-reactivity with homologous proteins in crustaceans and house dust mites. Hence, it is anticipated that the market expansion will be hampered by the increased risk of allergy to both humans and animals. Moreover, pea protein, which is used in items like non-dairy yogurt and plant-based meat substitutes, is the most worrying allergen. People who are allergic to peanuts have a high chance to be allergic to peas. Additionally, around 5% of people with peanut allergies may also have allergies to other legumes, according to estimates (like peas, beans, and lentils). Access our detailed report at: https://www.researchnester.com/reports/alternative-protein-market/4748 By type, the global alternative protein market is segmented into plant-based protein, insect-based protein, and microbial-based protein. The plant-based protein segment is to garner the highest revenue by the end of 2035 by growing at a significant CAGR 11% over the forecast period. The growth of segment is expanding as a result of rising consumer interest in and demand for plant-based foods. For the 52 weeks that concluded on July 3, 2021, sales of plant-based alternative milk products made up roughly 16% of all milk sales. Also, for a healthier lifestyle, about 52% of consumers in the US consume plant-based foods. Humans prefer plant-based proteins, particularly vegans. We all need protein to develop muscles, restore cells, and increase energy. For a number of reasons, including to lessen animal suffering, prevent climate change, or simply practice mindful eating. By region, the North American alternative protein market is to generate the highest revenue by the end of 2035. The rising number of vegans and vegetarians can be largely associated with the market's expansion. There were around 2 million vegetarians in Canada as of 2018. In Canada, an additional fewer than one million consumers identified as vegans. Vegetarianism and veganism were most popular in British Columbia during that year. On the other hand, a poll of 11,000 people found that 2% of Americans, who are 17 and older, consider themselves vegetarians. However, only 0.5 percent of adult Americans in the USA, or one in four vegetarians, identify as vegans, and there are about 2 million vegans in the country. Furthermore, rising cases of lactose intolerance among people are also expected to augment the market growth. Lactose intolerance affects about 80% of African Americans.

This report also provides the existing competitive scenario of some of the key players of the global alternative protein market which includes company profiling of Hamlet Protein, Archer Daniels Midland Company, Axiom Foods, Inc., Puris, Cargill Incorporated, AMCO Proteins, Royal DSM, Lallemand Inc., Ingredion, Claysta Inc., and others.

2023.05.25 10:43 Researchnester192 Food Safety Testing Market Size Projections: A Strong Growth Outlook from 2023 to 2035
 | https://preview.redd.it/rgltiih5xx1b1.jpg?width=1161&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ed682fe19394ba844b86a39d987866518bba5e2 submitted by Researchnester192 to u/Researchnester192 [link] [comments] Research Nester assesses the growth of global food safety testing market which is anticipated to be on account of the rising consumption of processed food followed by growing international trade of food items. New York – October 10, 2022 - Research Nester’s recent market research analysis on “Food Safety Testing Market: Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2035” delivers a detailed competitor’s analysis and a detailed overview of the global food safety testing market in terms of market segmentation by technology, target test, application, and by region. Growing Prevalence of Foodborne Illness and Allergies to Drive Growth of Global Food Safety Testing Market The global food safety testing market is estimated to grow majorly on account of the increased cases of food-borne diseases all across the world. The World Health Organization estimates that each year 420 000 people worldwide pass away and 600 million become unwell as a result of eating rotten food, leaving 33 million years of the good life. Moreover, 125 000 deaths from foodborne illness occur each year in children under the age of five, accounting for 40% of all foodborne disease mortality. Furthermore, China saw a total of about 7,000 foodborne outbreaks in 2020, which resulted in close to 37,000 illnesses and 143 fatalities. Food testing lowers the chance of contracting a foodborne illness and its associated risks. Moreover, globally, food allergies are on the rise and can be extremely harmful, if not lethal. Food safety testing is crucial for locating allergens in products as well as for lengthening the shelf life of finished goods to prevent pathogen attacks. Regardless of the impact of the food, it is estimated that one in four people is to have a food allergy and eventually experience a significant reaction. In addition, from around 1,015 admissions in 2013 to over 1,746 admissions in 2019, the hospital admission of children suffering from food allergies increased in England. In addition to this, there will be around 20 million Americans with food allergies by 2021, of which 16 million will be adults and the remaining 4% will be youngsters. Some of the major growth factors and challenges that are associated with the growth of the global food safety testing market are: Growth Drivers: Surge in the Consumption of Processed Food Rising Advancement of Food Testing Technologies Challenges: Lack of technical experience in small businesses and the high cost of food safety equipment and its upkeep are some of the major factors anticipated to hamper the growth of the global food safety testing market. A lack of technical support may seriously contaminate food and beverage items and jeopardize the testing and analysis of food operations. It is especially true for small businesses; they lack sufficient knowledge about cutting-edge testing techniques and new safety procedures. As a result, they don't meet the requirements for food safety. On the other hand, insufficient infrastructure for food testing is also expected to impede market growth. For the sake of people's health, it is essential that food safety testing be carried out in qualified labs that are furnished with standard laboratory apparatus. Also, these labs must be kept very clean in order to produce accurate results for food testing. Many food testing facilities lack the essential infrastructure, sufficient water, better equipment, and standardized testing procedures. Access our detailed report at: https://www.researchnester.com/reports/food-safety-testing-market/4741 By application, the global food safety testing market is segmented into dairy products, bakery & confectionery, processed & packages food, infant food, functional food, meat & poultry products, alcoholic & non-alcoholic beverages, and seafood. The meat & poultry products segment is to garner the highest revenue by the end of 2035 by growing at a significant CAGR over the forecast period. The increase in meat and poultry production is the major driving force for the segment's expansion. In America and China, increased productivity per animal is expected to increase the production of meat and poultry. Additionally, in 2021, there were 87 million more eggs produced than in 2021. Since 1990, the number of eggs produced worldwide has increased by more than 100%. Moreover, the OECD-FAO Agriculture estimate stated that by 2030, the world's beef supply will likely reach 374 Mt. Meat and poultry have the potential to be harmful if improperly handled, food safety testing is crucial for these items. By region, the Europe food safety testing market is to generate the highest revenue by the end of 2035. A rise in market size in Europe is anticipated owing to the rising demand for seafood. Europeans consume 24 kilograms of fish or seafood on average per year, which is about 3.3 kilograms more than the rest of the world. In addition, cod, tuna, and salmon are the most popular seafood dishes. Moreover, a sizable portion of seafood is consumed by Europeans as a source of protein in their diet. On the other hand, the market growth is also attributed to the rising production and consumption of milk.

2023.05.24 13:13 betterweirdthandead6 RECOVERY MEGAPOST PART 2!
I edited the first pinned Recovery Post: https://www.reddit.com/floxies/comments/12v2g6d/recovery_megapost/ to add a lot more detail and more stories, so it's worth revisiting, but eventually ran out of space there, so I've removed some of the entries to post here, and added a ton more.
As before, there are many people who recover and don't post about it, so this is just the recovery tip of the iceberg! u/Additional-Gear-18 has been brilliant at finding and sending me most of these, so big thanks to them. As you can see, the timescale massively varies, but even after years, recovery is possible, so don't give up hope.
Plz don't DM people out the blue as it can be upsetting to revisit this traumatic time when we've finally escaped it!
Again, I've ordered them by recovery time. Although not listed under 'what helped', remember that the main aspect is usually TIME. Hang in there :)

2023.05.24 05:00 Sparro464 Chronically low Free T, 34 M. Looking for any advice.
Well fellas,
Looking for some insights. I'm 34 M. 6' 0''. 151lbs. I'm quite lean/muscular. I used to lift ~5 days a week but no longer have the energy to do so, so I'm doing mostly bodyweight resistance exercises about twice a week with some light cardio.
I started to get intense anxiety around this time last year for the first time in my life.
My health/energy levels feel as though they have been slowly deteriorating pretty consistently for the past 3+ years. This has been accompanied by a huge drop in libido, like its almost none existent most days.
To complicate matters I also have Crohn's disease which fucking sucks and could be the reason everything is going to shit.. pardon the pun.
On account of this I have no choice but to eat extremely clean, mainly fresh meats and some fruit, zero processed anything etc. I practice stress reducing activities such as yoga & meditation, prioritize my sleep, get sun exposure yadayada.. all that good stuff..!
Have started ice baths about a week ago so will see if that helps as I've seen some folk with some interesting results from doing so.
But I've had crohn's for at least the last decade, maybe 15 years, where as the decline in energy, lack of libido and increase in anxiety is a more recent phenomena.
My most recent Testosterone results are as follows from about a month ago (all draws were taken at 8am)
I have an appointment with an Endo in about a month to get a full hormonal panel going, but I am curious to know if anyone has had a similar experience? Do you think I would be a candidate for TRT? Do you think on account of having crohn's that the chronic inflammation is having impact on other hormones, SHBG for example?
I just really don't like the idea of being dependent something to enure my sanity for the rest of my life. I get the potential upsides can be enormous, but having not experienced that upside yet I feel quite apprehensive about committing to such a thing. I'm already on medication for my other issue, which likely will be forever unfortunately.
Any other Crohnies on here taking TRT?
Sorry for the long post
TLDR: free T is consistently below the low limit, total T is low for someone my age and lifestyle. What do?

I just really don't like the idea of being dependent something to enure my sanity for the rest of my life. I get the potential upsides can be enormous, but having not experienced that upside yet I feel quite apprehensive about committing to such a thing. I'm already on medication for my other issue, which likely will be forever unfortunately.
Any other Crohnies on here taking TRT?
Sorry for the long post
TLDR: free T is consistently below the low limit, total T is low for someone my age and lifestyle. What do?
2023.05.24 04:10 TheYankee17762 An Army With A State - The Tragedy of Japan
By: Hora Yuriko
Date: December 12, 1972
LOS ANGELES- When reading Voltaire in College, there was one line that stood out to me, "Where some states have an army, the Prussian Army has a state." This while being directed at the ancient state of Prussia, described the Imperial Japanese Army perfectly, in a way that I could never describe it, Japan didn't have the Imperial Japanese Army, the Imperial Japanese Army had Japan. An observation that has become ever more true as the civilian government's attempt to restrain the army and hold them accountable for their crimes ended with a bloody coup.
Ever since then, Japan has transformed into a black box, where one only knows one thing, whatever is happening, is not good. A few years before then, I was done studying journalism at the University of Southern California, I had a choice to return home to Japan or stay in the US. The US had many more opportunities than Japan with the largest newspaper companies in the world and the highest salaries for journalists anywhere in the world, yet at the same time, Japan was my home, where my and my future husband's families lived, where we grew up, and where there seemed to be an exciting hope of liberalization and further prosperity.
When I made the decision to stay in the US, I did not know that I had made the smartest and the most haunting choice in my entire life as in my horror I watched my TV in my American suburban home when I watched live footage of the Japanese tanks smashing through the gates of the National Diet building, thinking of my father, my mother, my sister, my brother and my grandfather who were completely helpless in the face of this new government. I was able to call them for a few days afterwards, to comfort them and to plan to get them to the US.
Then one day, when I called, the operator told me that Japan had cut all phone lines with countries outside of the Co-Proseperity Sphere. From that day forth, I promised myself that one day I would return to Japan and that I would at least check on my family to see if they were still alive.
The Los Angeles Times producers dismissed my proposal to do a report on Japan under military rule for months on end, citing concerns that it would be too dangerous to send a person to a country where the government had a complete and strictly enforced ban on foreign journalists. Yet with enough "classic American persistence", as my husband calls it, I was able to convince the editors to help me enter and exit Japan under the pretense that once I entered Japan I would be completely on my own and that I understood the extreme risk of this procedure.
The trip back home was smoother than I expected, I took a plane to Anchorage, then one to Magdan. I then drove by bus to the Russian-Manchurian border where a man took me on a boat and got me across undetected by the border police. From there I took a plane to Tokyo. The true problems began once I landed. As soon as I exited the plane, 4 soldiers demanded to check my luggage. After 20 minutes, they demanded a bribe, which I gave, and then was released. This is something common in most totalitarian states, yet in Japan, the level this happened was almost comical. On 6 separate occasions getting through the airport, I was forced to stop, and let the soldiers search my luggage to either say everything was fine or demand a bribe. By the time I left for the airport bus station, I was wondering if I would even have any money by the time I would reach my parent's home.
When I left, the streets were often clogged with cars, made by one of Japan's many car producers, yet our bus was able to drive forward with no traffic. In fact, I saw a great deal more bikes on the road than cars, from napkin math, it was around a 30 to 1 ratio. When I asked an elderly lady on the bus about this, she responded, "The military wanted steel, so they got steel".
Another thing that I found different looking out the bus window was the massive amounts of billboards that advertised military recruitment or other government-backed messages. Some of these signs were typical, talking of honor and glory and encouraging people to start a family or quit drinking, yet some of these signs were extremely disturbing praising violence toward "enemies of the state", asking the reader to "report anti-Japanese actions of family and friends, the Emperor demands it" or the creepiest one of all a sign with 2 eyes peering at the viewer with the text, "There are things worse than death. If you are guilty, turn yourself in, immediately or suffer."
But there was more than just billboards that were disturbing in this atmosphere, military checkpoints were almost everywhere, with soldiers pointing heavy machine guns at the bus, while they ask the bus driver for paperwork and a list of people on the bus. In a haunting experience, at one checkpoint, 2 soldiers found a woman that was declared "an enemy of the state". I will never forget her cries for help and mercy as her skinny-to-the-bone body was slammed by the butts of assault rifles, needlessly and endlessly, until being mercifully dragged across the ground. The most shocking thing of all was that I was the only one on the bus horrified by what I saw. When I asked the elderly woman why she seemed unfazed, she responded, "Honey, these things sometimes happen."
When the bus finally stops at my stop, I rushed out, feeling thankful to the universe that those soldiers never figured out that I was a journalist. The trip back home was mercifully quick as my surprised family warmly welcomed me back home. The tension I felt thus far was eliminated when I talked to my loving family and saw that they were all okay, all alive. I even for a moment forgot that I was in military Japan, that was until it was time for dinner. My Mom was known across as the best cook in the neighborhood cooking everything from pork curry to yaki ongini with butter sauce for me and my siblings. So I was shocked when my mom served me, a bowl of plain rice for dinner. When I asked her why there was no curry, I saw her face immediately go sour. She responded, eyes gazing downwards, "I cannot buy anything besides rice."
I talked with my family for a little while longer catching up with them, until we heard a hard bang on the window. It was a soldier boy, someone who was too young to work as a soldier but still work for the military in a civilian role, whose duty was to warn people before real soldiers would quote, "smash all the lightbulbs in the offending household". I and my family rushed across the house to make sure that every light was turned off. It was creepy to see the road that was often filled with so much life at night, with entire complexes being filled with chatter and music until midnight to become so dead at 9 pm.
The only things I heard that night was the engines of tanks, APCs, and military trucks and the footsteps and chattering of the occasional group of soldiers, some off-duty, some on-duty. When morning came, I had yet another bowl of rice with my family until I decided to explore the city. Exploring it on foot gave me a more intimate experience of the horrors of this new Japan, what struck me now was how skinny everyone was, I could see the ribcages of some of the shirtless men that I passed by on the streets. When I passed my neighborhood grocery store, there were lines for blocks and when I peered through the dirty windows, I could see that there was only rice, and seemingly not enough for everyone. Just observing the line for about 20 minutes or so, that the line didn't work on a first-come, first-served basis, some were able to skip the line if they had military id or bribe the guards at the entrance of the store. It became clear to me that those who wouldn't return home without a bag of rice were the ones who needed it the most. The only people that seemed healthy were the military men and those related to military men. Then I spotted something that made me vomit, a former candy store from the youth, that still had the colorful swirls yet now had a metal sign that said, "National Suicide Post #56".
I could smell the dead bodies from the outside of the building. To my horror, there were at least 30 men and women lined up outside. When I asked one of them, Mura Nori, who was so mentally ill he could barely talk about anything coherently, was able to tell me in summary about how since the military shut down his mental hospital, they told him that as a Burakumin, the Japanese version of an untouchable, suicide was his only option. Breaking the classical rule of journalism, I tried to convince Mura not to kill himself. Yet my pleas meant nothing as a soldier pushed me away and he passed those heavy doors.
Death, something so foreign in the old Japan, was now a constant mainstay, just when I left the horrific vision of a suicide post, I was then greeted with another sight of death as the military organized a public execution of 5 people, all with bags placed on their heads, all being faced by a firing squad. People gathered around, in fear as the officer spoke of their supposed crime of "high treason" on a megaphone before a moment of silence followed by the loud bangs of rifles. Their bodies were no longer visible with the crowds blocking the views, but the officer proclaimed it so and the people reacted accordingly. Some were cheering, some people cried, some people screamed, yet a great many more just stared, blankly like they experienced collective shell shock.
As I continued down childhood streets, the common mom & pop stores all had new owners, which conveniently were all military people. I reflected on the hope that existed before, a society that was becoming increasingly liberal, increasingly free, and increasingly open to the world. The Japan that I saw before me, was unrecognizable, a landscape where hope was stomped into the ground. The people no longer seemed happy and cheerful, the people I saw all looked dead, all their life, gone, crushed into the ground. The only people that seemed happy were the soldiers, who drank Saki, played cards, snacked on mochi, occasionally demanded bribes from passers-by, and sometimes cat-called me or other women passing them by.
Despite the number of soldiers I saw, many refused an interview, but one soldier, Shimizu Hisao, agreed to talk to me. Hisao told me of his experience growing up in a small farming village in the Shimane province. He spoke about how he was one of the few people in his village that had the appropriate rations to get meat, cheese, or noodles. When I asked him about the seeming increasing poverty, he repeated a government talking point "We sold our souls to OFN and conducted a witch hunt against our own military that protected us for generations. The military has liberated us from the degenerate Western lifestyle." He further added his own experience that, "The countryside was never rich, we were always poor. But now the government has given us back our own produce in the form of military rations." I tried to ask further questions but his commanding officer ordered him back to position and told me, "to find your husband or father" as the streets were "too dangerous for unaccompanied women."
Further exploring the familiar yet alien streets that I used to play in as a child, I found a lead, a middle school teacher, who due to wanting to keep his identity a secret will simply be referred to as "The Teacher" until he and his children can escape to Russia. He spoke to me in his apartment, over a bowl of rice and a glass of water about his experiences as a teacher forced to teach propaganda to school children. He told me, "I used to love to be a teacher, helping growing boys and girls learn more about themselves and the world. With time, I was able to teach more and more to these students as the government loosen its control over information. They seemed to become brighter and more intelligent with every new cohort. Yet almost overnight, I lost any liberty to teach these kids anything true. I have to tell them that the Japanese army is the best in the world, that democracy promotes degeneracy, whatever that means, that Japan is the greatest country in the world, that women have no value besides marrying and raising children, and that suicide is a viable way to deal with one's problems. I feel physically sick after every class. I hate being a teacher, here.".
Afterward, he showed me his history textbooks. Without even reading the text, the images were horrifying, a Japanese soldier stomping a Chinese man, a caste system, an "ideal" ethnic map of East Asia, 80% Japanese, diagrams showing how to treat people of "the lower castes", a religious image of Emperor Hirohito and Muto, and a most shocking of all, a map of each suicide post across Japan, the grand total is 5000. The text was even more horrifying talking about the absolute holy divinity of the Emperor, a skewed story of the history of Western colonialism, where all of the European colonializations of the Americas, Africa, and Asia were in an attempt to destroy Japan, multiple odes praising military rule, guides to debunk 'Western lies' and speaking of an "inventable" great war between Chinese rebels and their OFN allies, with the claim that this war wouldn't end in nuclear destruction but rather with Japan ruling all of the Americas and Asia because of "anti-nuclear satellites" in the works.
I asked The Teacher if I could take his textbook back to America. He seemed to be excited by the idea of showing the world, the horrific curriculum he was forced to teach his students. But in the end, he shot down the idea, fearful that his own children would face "unimaginable punishment" if there was any link to him leaking something to the foreign press. With that, I was once again off in the streets looking to scrap up more of the inner works of this increasingly horrific Japan. Yet I was forced to turn back when a soldier boy gave me a warning that I had been "unaccompanied by a man for too long" and therefore would have to be escorted back home.
I followed the nervous 15-year-old boy, in his oversized khaki military slacks, as he lead me back to my parent's apartment, despite me being 12 years his senior. Luckily with the boy escorting me, the soldiers were less willing to catcall me. When I finally reached my home, my father couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculousness of it all as the 15-year-old soldier boy said with a squeaky voice that I shouldn't behave like a child before leaving. After all that, I ate yet another bowl of rice, which this time had salt and chopped daikon to my surprise. When I asked my Mom why, it just so happened that she kept some reward rations for special occasions. To my sadness, the only other person who had daikon in their rice was my sister.
The 2nd day was a big day for me. Before I left, I promised my husband to check on his family, but his family lived in a town that was a 3-hour drive away from my Mother's apartment. I used the little money I had left (out of the money that I didn't save for the flight to Manchuria) to go on a bus to take me there. On my trip there, I was reminded that the one thing the Japanese military hadn't ruined yet was the beauty of the Japanese countryside as large mountains dotted the landscape with amazing bamboo and cherry tree forests, that sometimes opened up for rice fields of vibrant light green. For a moment, I forgot where I was, I remembered being a child, excited to go camping with my friends, amazed by the breathtaking vistas. Yet this came crashing down once we entered the town, once again the aggressive propaganda reared its ugly head and the people trodded along the sides of the bus, depressed and hopeless. The military checkpoints became endless and more enemies of the state were beaten without justice.
I got off and went through this novel town. Since me and my husband have only been to his hometown 2 times before the military occupation, the town was almost completely new, completely novel to me. I had to ask for directions from off-duty soldiers and use a map that I bought from a civilian information office to find the exact home of my husband's family. Unfortunately along the way, due to not looking like a local, the soldiers almost constantly asked for bribes, which I honestly could not give them at this point, so instead they took my belongings.
One soldier took a necklace, another took the underwear I packed, another took my glasses, another took my backpack, another took some rice in a plastic bag, another took the clothes I had packed and finally one took my perfume. The only generosity I received was from one soldier feeling guilty seeing me carry all my stuff with no bag, who gave me a grocery bag when his fellow soldiers weren't looking. When I finally arrived at my husband's family's home, they were less ecstatic to see me, disappointed that my husband wasn't able to come along on the journey with me. Their dinner was more impressive than the one I received back in the city since my husband's younger brother joined the army and was, therefore, able to get chicken, military-grade cheese (that's what it said on the package), and leeks in the rice bowls of him and his family.
My interview with the younger brother was more fruitful than with Hiaso the day before. While he understandably didn't want his name revealed, he spoke to me about how the most common emotion of him and his fellow privates was boredom. From day 1 they promised a great war, that they would be heroes for the Great Empire of Japan but in reality, the military would give them pointless jobs such as patrolling streets that haven't seen a major crime for years, setting up military checkpoints in front of randomly assigned roads and manning anti-aircraft guns even though there will probably never be any enemy planes since they obtained nukes decades ago. Therefore most soldiers spend their time gambling with card games, extorting money from passers-by, cleaning their guns to a perfect shine, faking reports to get more mochi and other snacks, and doing busy work like filing taxes, applications, registrations, or even one-story of a soldier who did his laundry while being asked to man a military checkpoint next to a laundromat.
Meanwhile, the stories of the military high command are insane with rumors of military funds being diverted for Acura sports cars, mansions, smuggled American clothing at a 500% markup, caviar, champagne, jewelry, or even a general supposedly an American-made private jet for the equivalent of 100 million dollars. While some of these sound heavily fantastically and probably are, they do speak to a greater truth that if privates can divert military funds with fake reports to buy mochi, a staff general can probably divert enough to buy a car. When I asked him if Japan could fight off the US, he joked that "Tokyo would fall in a few days" and I further enquired about rebellions in China, his joking mood became sour as he responded with, "We are not ready for anything bigger than the current rebellions. Not at all. I hope that neither me nor any of my brothers-in-arms ever get sent to that death trap."
The next day, I wanted to see why their rice seemed to be the only thing available, therefore I borrowed a bicycle from my husband's older brother and ride until the rice fields began to appear again. I got off and began my journey. I asked farmer after farmer for an interview but almost no one wished to speak to me. But finally, after hours of walking along gravel and dirt roads, I found someone who was interested in talking. Unlike almost everyone with something to lose, he gave his name, Kawamura Yoshito, saying if the government wanted to arrest him, they could.
When I asked him about how rice seemed so common, he told me the situation, "You see the military folks don't know anything about farming, but they really think they know things about farming. Before I grew wheat because it is a good climate and dirt for wheat. But they told us, 'Rice! Rice! Rice!' Because apparently, that was enough for a Japanese man back in the good old days. Thanks to them, I got to grow a crop that just doesn't work here, there's just not enough water, the dirt is dry as clay, and where the majority of the crop just dies. Whoever had these great ideas should run a farm for a couple of years before they tell us how to run one."
When I asked him, his opinions on military rule or the end of the Yokusankai, he said, "I know how to farm, not how to rule. As long as the military lets me farm the right way, I don't care who rules." He then he thanked me with a small bow and returned to tending his fields and I would walk down the country roads back to the town. When I returned back to the house, it was nearly 9 pm, just before curfew. Unlike in my family's neighborhood, a tank was a rare sight, so when a military convoy with 6 tanks went through the town, I could see many of the town's boys on the roofs, breaking the curfew, trying to get a view of the tanks. They were loud enough to wake up at midnight, so the soldiers most likely knew they were up there. Why didn't they try to stop them? The optimistic answer is that they felt bad for the boys, they didn't want to punish the boys for something so innocent. The pessimistic answer is that they knew the boys getting so excited over seeing tanks would make them look up even more to the army, therefore making them more likely to join.
I was unable to interview any of the soldiers on duty that night, so their reasoning remains a mystery.
The next day, I wanted to find a man who "The Teacher" talked about, supposedly a person who was the leader of a Communist revolutionary cell within Japan before the military coup. Supposedly according to "The Teacher", he faced the worse of the Japanese justice system and was rumored to be somewhere in the town. I woke up before any of the family and roamed through the streets looking for my man. I asked questions, going off the limited description that "The Teacher" gave me. Yet hour upon hour passed by with no lead, nothing besides confusion from the locals. When it was noon and it seemed that all my luck had run out, I found him. He wore a tank top with Hakama. He seemed to be begging for money. When I asked for an interview he immediately agreed, giving out his name freely, Komatsu Hiroharu, with no stipulation. We found a private area and he told me his story, "I remember that they considered me a bright student, back in college. I loved to read, especially the illegal stuff, like Das Kapital, The Class Struggles in France, The Communist Manifesto, all the Communist books. They spoke to me that the world needed change and it needed it fast. Me and some like-minded people, we formed an organization, hoping to eventually overthrow the government and install this Marxist utopia.
I see that is a stupid dream now, I see how truly powerless I was to the might and intellect of the military. After the coup, we thought it was our big moment, our big chance for change. Oh, how stupid was I! They gunned so many of us down, so many, I was covered with blood and my ears were deaf with all the screams, all the bullets, all the trucks, and all the machine guns. You might think that I was the fortunate one. I didn't die, I was arrested. No, no, I was the most unlucky. They kept me in this room, this hellish white room, for so long I had a beard by the end. They kept beating me, taking more and more of my teeth, more of my toes, electrocuting. I kept screaming, I don't know why there was nobody there that would have cared. They wouldn't let me sleep, they kept me on drugs all the time. The pain there was unimaginable, even knowing that as a Marxist I would probably be tortured one day. At some point, it was just too much, I just broke, I told them that I hated my girlfriend, my friends, my family, and communism, I stomped on the Communism Manifesto and cried out that I would be fully subservient to the Emperor and to Muto for the remainder of my life.
The worse part of it all was that it was all true at that point, I hated everyone for allowing me to suffer, for not saving me, I hated communism for causing so much of my pain, so much of my suffering, and I loved my torturers when they finally let me go. I knew they recorded all that. I knew that everyone knew that I betrayed them. I couldn't go back to them like that. So I ran, I just ran as far as I could. The only reason why I didn't end things was because [The Teacher] convinced me that there was a life worth living. So far, I have been working odd jobs from town to town, it has allowed me to see a lot of the Japanese wilderness. I find the wilderness still has a lot of beauty, even when it is put in such a horrible nation. I hope that if I get arrested again, that everyone knows, that you put a big light on all this and that they don't get to hide it." By the end, his face was soaked with tears, but he still looked at me with a strong face despite his weak trembling body. I offered him a bowl of rice, but he refused. Then just as he arrived, he left limping away on a big stick towards who-knows-where.
For a while, I just sat there in that alleyway, processing the story which I heard. For the first time on my trip, I got a saki. It didn't help me process it but I felt better after a while.
I soon returned back my family's home, hoping to uncover even more, but at this point, there wasn't any more time, I received a frightening message over the phone, that the LA Times had received a tip that the government knew there was a foreign reporter in the country. I quickly packed my bags, told my family to find a new home, to their collective dread and I left.
Everything moved so fast, I was on a bus, I was in the airport and finally, I was on an airplane heading to Manchuria, my adrenaline bursting as every footstep, and every glance of the soldiers seemed to be a signal that they caught me. When I made it to Manchuria, I received bad news as the man who got me into Manchuria told the LA Times that he didn't have the time to smuggle me into Russia on such short notice. But as a journalist, I learned to think quickly. I found a refugee column from China and joined them in a push into Russia and got a perspective, I never originally sought. The refugees spoke of horrors beyond what I just witnessed in Japan, of terror bombings across the Chinese countryside by the Imperial Japanese Airforce, the use of toxins on Chinese crops, and the ban on food shipments into major cities, a man-made famine unlike I could ever imagine.
I could see the despair of the refugees I was within our ramshackle settlement near the border, as most of them spent the entire night staring at the border wall, thinking of what lay beyond. When dusk arrived, we moved. The border wall was undefended by men, but it was made of concrete with 2 layers of barbed wire on top. The refugees used whatever they could, bamboo ladders, cloth ropes, and even trash heaps. Some didn't work, some did, but chaos caught the scene as everyone attempted to desperately get across, some even walking straight through the bared wire to freedom. I was lucky in terms of I was able to get on a cloth rope early on and climb over the barbed wire with a mat.
After that chaotic and horrifying experience, I was finally free. Therefore the rest of the journey was boring, I arrived at a small regional Russian airport that flew me to Magdan, then to Anchorage, and then finally back to LA where after all that chaos, all that horror, I finally had the chance to feel safe sleeping on the living room couch, while Zeus, my dog, played with a chew toy.

Exploring it on foot gave me a more intimate experience of the horrors of this new Japan, what struck me now was how skinny everyone was, I could see the ribcages of some of the shirtless men that I passed by on the streets. When I passed my neighborhood grocery store, there were lines for blocks and when I peered through the dirty windows, I could see that there was only rice, and seemingly not enough for everyone. Just observing the line for about 20 minutes or so, that the line didn't work on a first-come, first-served basis, some were able to skip the line if they had military id or bribe the guards at the entrance of the store. It became clear to me that those who wouldn't return home without a bag of rice were the ones who needed it the most. The only people that seemed healthy were the military men and those related to military men. Then I spotted something that made me vomit, a former candy store from the youth, that still had the colorful swirls yet now had a metal sign that said, "National Suicide Post #56".
I could smell the dead bodies from the outside of the building. To my horror, there were at least 30 men and women lined up outside. When I asked one of them, Mura Nori, who was so mentally ill he could barely talk about anything coherently, was able to tell me in summary about how since the military shut down his mental hospital, they told him that as a Burakumin, the Japanese version of an untouchable, suicide was his only option. Breaking the classical rule of journalism, I tried to convince Mura not to kill himself. Yet my pleas meant nothing as a soldier pushed me away and he passed those heavy doors.
Death, something so foreign in the old Japan, was now a constant mainstay, just when I left the horrific vision of a suicide post, I was then greeted with another sight of death as the military organized a public execution of 5 people, all with bags placed on their heads, all being faced by a firing squad. People gathered around, in fear as the officer spoke of their supposed crime of "high treason" on a megaphone before a moment of silence followed by the loud bangs of rifles. Their bodies were no longer visible with the crowds blocking the views, but the officer proclaimed it so and the people reacted accordingly. Some were cheering, some people cried, some people screamed, yet a great many more just stared, blankly like they experienced collective shell shock.
As I continued down childhood streets, the common mom & pop stores all had new owners, which conveniently were all military people. I reflected on the hope that existed before, a society that was becoming increasingly liberal, increasingly free, and increasingly open to the world. The Japan that I saw before me, was unrecognizable, a landscape where hope was stomped into the ground. The people no longer seemed happy and cheerful, the people I saw all looked dead, all their life, gone, crushed into the ground. The only people that seemed happy were the soldiers, who drank Saki, played cards, snacked on mochi, occasionally demanded bribes from passers-by, and sometimes cat-called me or other women passing them by.
Despite the number of soldiers I saw, many refused an interview, but one soldier, Shimizu Hisao, agreed to talk to me. Hisao told me of his experience growing up in a small farming village in the Shimane province. He spoke about how he was one of the few people in his village that had the appropriate rations to get meat, cheese, or noodles. When I asked him about the seeming increasing poverty, he repeated a government talking point "We sold our souls to OFN and conducted a witch hunt against our own military that protected us for generations. The military has liberated us from the degenerate Western lifestyle." He further added his own experience that, "The countryside was never rich, we were always poor. But now the government has given us back our own produce in the form of military rations." I tried to ask further questions but his commanding officer ordered him back to position and told me, "to find your husband or father" as the streets were "too dangerous for unaccompanied women."
Further exploring the familiar yet alien streets that I used to play in as a child, I found a lead, a middle school teacher, who due to wanting to keep his identity a secret will simply be referred to as "The Teacher" until he and his children can escape to Russia. He spoke to me in his apartment, over a bowl of rice and a glass of water about his experiences as a teacher forced to teach propaganda to school children. He told me, "I used to love to be a teacher, helping growing boys and girls learn more about themselves and the world. With time, I was able to teach more and more to these students as the government loosen its control over information. They seemed to become brighter and more intelligent with every new cohort. Yet almost overnight, I lost any liberty to teach these kids anything true. I have to tell them that the Japanese army is the best in the world, that democracy promotes degeneracy, whatever that means, that Japan is the greatest country in the world, that women have no value besides marrying and raising children, and that suicide is a viable way to deal with one's problems. I feel physically sick after every class. I hate being a teacher, here.".
Afterward, he showed me his history textbooks. Without even reading the text, the images were horrifying, a Japanese soldier stomping a Chinese man, a caste system, an "ideal" ethnic map of East Asia, 80% Japanese, diagrams showing how to treat people of "the lower castes", a religious image of Emperor Hirohito and Muto, and a most shocking of all, a map of each suicide post across Japan, the grand total is 5000. The text was even more horrifying talking about the absolute holy divinity of the Emperor, a skewed story of the history of Western colonialism, where all of the European colonializations of the Americas, Africa, and Asia were in an attempt to destroy Japan, multiple odes praising military rule, guides to debunk 'Western lies' and speaking of an "inventable" great war between Chinese rebels and their OFN allies, with the claim that this war wouldn't end in nuclear destruction but rather with Japan ruling all of the Americas and Asia because of "anti-nuclear satellites" in the works.
I asked The Teacher if I could take his textbook back to America. He seemed to be excited by the idea of showing the world, the horrific curriculum he was forced to teach his students. But in the end, he shot down the idea, fearful that his own children would face "unimaginable punishment" if there was any link to him leaking something to the foreign press. With that, I was once again off in the streets looking to scrap up more of the inner works of this increasingly horrific Japan. Yet I was forced to turn back when a soldier boy gave me a warning that I had been "unaccompanied by a man for too long" and therefore would have to be escorted back home.
I followed the nervous 15-year-old boy, in his oversized khaki military slacks, as he lead me back to my parent's apartment, despite me being 12 years his senior. Luckily with the boy escorting me, the soldiers were less willing to catcall me. When I finally reached my home, my father couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculousness of it all as the 15-year-old soldier boy said with a squeaky voice that I shouldn't behave like a child before leaving. After all that, I ate yet another bowl of rice, which this time had salt and chopped daikon to my surprise. When I asked my Mom why, it just so happened that she kept some reward rations for special occasions. To my sadness, the only other person who had daikon in their rice was my sister.
The 2nd day was a big day for me. Before I left, I promised my husband to check on his family, but his family lived in a town that was a 3-hour drive away from my Mother's apartment. I used the little money I had left (out of the money that I didn't save for the flight to Manchuria) to go on a bus to take me there. On my trip there, I was reminded that the one thing the Japanese military hadn't ruined yet was the beauty of the Japanese countryside as large mountains dotted the landscape with amazing bamboo and cherry tree forests, that sometimes opened up for rice fields of vibrant light green. For a moment, I forgot where I was, I remembered being a child, excited to go camping with my friends, amazed by the breathtaking vistas. Yet this came crashing down once we entered the town, once again the aggressive propaganda reared its ugly head and the people trodded along the sides of the bus, depressed and hopeless. The military checkpoints became endless and more enemies of the state were beaten without justice.
I got off and went through this novel town. Since me and my husband have only been to his hometown 2 times before the military occupation, the town was almost completely new, completely novel to me. I had to ask for directions from off-duty soldiers and use a map that I bought from a civilian information office to find the exact home of my husband's family. Unfortunately along the way, due to not looking like a local, the soldiers almost constantly asked for bribes, which I honestly could not give them at this point, so instead they took my belongings.
One soldier took a necklace, another took the underwear I packed, another took my glasses, another took my backpack, another took some rice in a plastic bag, another took the clothes I had packed and finally one took my perfume. The only generosity I received was from one soldier feeling guilty seeing me carry all my stuff with no bag, who gave me a grocery bag when his fellow soldiers weren't looking. When I finally arrived at my husband's family's home, they were less ecstatic to see me, disappointed that my husband wasn't able to come along on the journey with me. Their dinner was more impressive than the one I received back in the city since my husband's younger brother joined the army and was, therefore, able to get chicken, military-grade cheese (that's what it said on the package), and leeks in the rice bowls of him and his family.
My interview with the younger brother was more fruitful than with Hiaso the day before. While he understandably didn't want his name revealed, he spoke to me about how the most common emotion of him and his fellow privates was boredom. From day 1 they promised a great war, that they would be heroes for the Great Empire of Japan but in reality, the military would give them pointless jobs such as patrolling streets that haven't seen a major crime for years, setting up military checkpoints in front of randomly assigned roads and manning anti-aircraft guns even though there will probably never be any enemy planes since they obtained nukes decades ago. Therefore most soldiers spend their time gambling with card games, extorting money from passers-by, cleaning their guns to a perfect shine, faking reports to get more mochi and other snacks, and doing busy work like filing taxes, applications, registrations, or even one-story of a soldier who did his laundry while being asked to man a military checkpoint next to a laundromat.
Meanwhile, the stories of the military high command are insane with rumors of military funds being diverted for Acura sports cars, mansions, smuggled American clothing at a 500% markup, caviar, champagne, jewelry, or even a general supposedly an American-made private jet for the equivalent of 100 million dollars. While some of these sound heavily fantastically and probably are, they do speak to a greater truth that if privates can divert military funds with fake reports to buy mochi, a staff general can probably divert enough to buy a car. When I asked him if Japan could fight off the US, he joked that "Tokyo would fall in a few days" and I further enquired about rebellions in China, his joking mood became sour as he responded with, "We are not ready for anything bigger than the current rebellions. Not at all. I hope that neither me nor any of my brothers-in-arms ever get sent to that death trap."
The next day, I wanted to see why their rice seemed to be the only thing available, therefore I borrowed a bicycle from my husband's older brother and ride until the rice fields began to appear again. I got off and began my journey. I asked farmer after farmer for an interview but almost no one wished to speak to me. But finally, after hours of walking along gravel and dirt roads, I found someone who was interested in talking. Unlike almost everyone with something to lose, he gave his name, Kawamura Yoshito, saying if the government wanted to arrest him, they could.
When I asked him about how rice seemed so common, he told me the situation, "You see the military folks don't know anything about farming, but they really think they know things about farming. Before I grew wheat because it is a good climate and dirt for wheat. But they told us, 'Rice! Rice! Rice!' Because apparently, that was enough for a Japanese man back in the good old days. Thanks to them, I got to grow a crop that just doesn't work here, there's just not enough water, the dirt is dry as clay, and where the majority of the crop just dies. Whoever had these great ideas should run a farm for a couple of years before they tell us how to run one."
When I asked him, his opinions on military rule or the end of the Yokusankai, he said, "I know how to farm, not how to rule. As long as the military lets me farm the right way, I don't care who rules." He then he thanked me with a small bow and returned to tending his fields and I would walk down the country roads back to the town. When I returned back to the house, it was nearly 9 pm, just before curfew. Unlike in my family's neighborhood, a tank was a rare sight, so when a military convoy with 6 tanks went through the town, I could see many of the town's boys on the roofs, breaking the curfew, trying to get a view of the tanks. They were loud enough to wake up at midnight, so the soldiers most likely knew they were up there. Why didn't they try to stop them? The optimistic answer is that they felt bad for the boys, they didn't want to punish the boys for something so innocent. The pessimistic answer is that they knew the boys getting so excited over seeing tanks would make them look up even more to the army, therefore making them more likely to join.
I was unable to interview any of the soldiers on duty that night, so their reasoning remains a mystery.
The next day, I wanted to find a man who "The Teacher" talked about, supposedly a person who was the leader of a Communist revolutionary cell within Japan before the military coup. Supposedly according to "The Teacher", he faced the worse of the Japanese justice system and was rumored to be somewhere in the town. I woke up before any of the family and roamed through the streets looking for my man. I asked questions, going off the limited description that "The Teacher" gave me. Yet hour upon hour passed by with no lead, nothing besides confusion from the locals. When it was noon and it seemed that all my luck had run out, I found him. He wore a tank top with Hakama. He seemed to be begging for money. When I asked for an interview he immediately agreed, giving out his name freely, Komatsu Hiroharu, with no stipulation. We found a private area and he told me his story, "I remember that they considered me a bright student, back in college. I loved to read, especially the illegal stuff, like Das Kapital, The Class Struggles in France, The Communist Manifesto, all the Communist books. They spoke to me that the world needed change and it needed it fast. Me and some like-minded people, we formed an organization, hoping to eventually overthrow the government and install this Marxist utopia.
I see that is a stupid dream now, I see how truly powerless I was to the might and intellect of the military. After the coup, we thought it was our big moment, our big chance for change. Oh, how stupid was I! They gunned so many of us down, so many, I was covered with blood and my ears were deaf with all the screams, all the bullets, all the trucks, and all the machine guns. You might think that I was the fortunate one. I didn't die, I was arrested. No, no, I was the most unlucky. They kept me in this room, this hellish white room, for so long I had a beard by the end. They kept beating me, taking more and more of my teeth, more of my toes, electrocuting. I kept screaming, I don't know why there was nobody there that would have cared. They wouldn't let me sleep, they kept me on drugs all the time. The pain there was unimaginable, even knowing that as a Marxist I would probably be tortured one day. At some point, it was just too much, I just broke, I told them that I hated my girlfriend, my friends, my family, and communism, I stomped on the Communism Manifesto and cried out that I would be fully subservient to the Emperor and to Muto for the remainder of my life.
The worse part of it all was that it was all true at that point, I hated everyone for allowing me to suffer, for not saving me, I hated communism for causing so much of my pain, so much of my suffering, and I loved my torturers when they finally let me go. I knew they recorded all that. I knew that everyone knew that I betrayed them. I couldn't go back to them like that. So I ran, I just ran as far as I could. The only reason why I didn't end things was because [The Teacher] convinced me that there was a life worth living. So far, I have been working odd jobs from town to town, it has allowed me to see a lot of the Japanese wilderness. I find the wilderness still has a lot of beauty, even when it is put in such a horrible nation. I hope that if I get arrested again, that everyone knows, that you put a big light on all this and that they don't get to hide it." By the end, his face was soaked with tears, but he still looked at me with a strong face despite his weak trembling body. I offered him a bowl of rice, but he refused. Then just as he arrived, he left limping away on a big stick towards who-knows-where.
For a while, I just sat there in that alleyway, processing the story which I heard. For the first time on my trip, I got a saki. It didn't help me process it but I felt better after a while.
I soon returned back my family's home, hoping to uncover even more, but at this point, there wasn't any more time, I received a frightening message over the phone, that the LA Times had received a tip that the government knew there was a foreign reporter in the country. I quickly packed my bags, told my family to find a new home, to their collective dread and I left.
Everything moved so fast, I was on a bus, I was in the airport and finally, I was on an airplane heading to Manchuria, my adrenaline bursting as every footstep, and every glance of the soldiers seemed to be a signal that they caught me. When I made it to Manchuria, I received bad news as the man who got me into Manchuria told the LA Times that he didn't have the time to smuggle me into Russia on such short notice. But as a journalist, I learned to think quickly. I found a refugee column from China and joined them in a push into Russia and got a perspective, I never originally sought. The refugees spoke of horrors beyond what I just witnessed in Japan, of terror bombings across the Chinese countryside by the Imperial Japanese Airforce, the use of toxins on Chinese crops, and the ban on food shipments into major cities, a man-made famine unlike I could ever imagine.
I could see the despair of the refugees I was within our ramshackle settlement near the border, as most of them spent the entire night staring at the border wall, thinking of what lay beyond. When dusk arrived, we moved. The border wall was undefended by men, but it was made of concrete with 2 layers of barbed wire on top. The refugees used whatever they could, bamboo ladders, cloth ropes, and even trash heaps. Some didn't work, some did, but chaos caught the scene as everyone attempted to desperately get across, some even walking straight through the bared wire to freedom. I was lucky in terms of I was able to get on a cloth rope early on and climb over the barbed wire with a mat.
After that chaotic and horrifying experience, I was finally free. Therefore the rest of the journey was boring, I arrived at a small regional Russian airport that flew me to Magdan, then to Anchorage, and then finally back to LA where after all that chaos, all that horror, I finally had the chance to feel safe sleeping on the living room couch, while Zeus, my dog, played with a chew toy.
