The potential value to the Americans of Japanese-provided data, encompassing human research subjects, delivery system theories, and successful field trials, was immense. However, historian Sheldon H. Harris concluded that the Japanese data failed to meet American standards, suggesting instead that the findings from the unit were of minor importance at best. Harris characterized the research results from the Japanese camp as disappointing, concurring with the assessment of Murray Sanders, who characterized the experiments as "crude" and "ineffective."

To back up your point that the research gained by unit 731 was useless.

Something I have learned while playing old games is old graphics is nothing compared to just how games were designed back in the day.

That drama happened in part BECAUSE .world has a problem not moderating enough against transphobia.

Personally, I'm happy not being federated with them.

Yes, because your phrasing shows your lack of care around bigotry towards people who use neopronouns. Its misgendering plain and simple, no different than if you misgendered a transwoman or transman. It should carry that same weight. And if it doesn't then you are not a trans ally because you are not supporting trans rights, just the ones that fit within your view of normalcy. Purposely misgendering anyone for any reason is insulting, disrespectful, and harmful.

Listen, I ain't huge on neo-pronouns but I use them anyways because I respect and care about people enough to use their preferred pronouns because no matter your reasons for not liking them, it doesn't out weight the harm and disrespect you are doing to the other person. It is misgendering plain and simple, there is no real difference between misgendering someone who uses neopronouns and misgendering someone who doesn't.

You prove the point by saying "just the neopronoun thing"

Unfortunately tankie as a word has lost its original meaning. Tankies themselves have worked to dilute its usage, but also liberals have picked up the word and use it indiscriminately against any radical leftists. It was a term specifically for authoritarian "leftists," originally being used to insult and criticize those that supported the USSR's use of tanks against the Hungarian Revolution and China with Tiananmen Square. I myself am an anarchist with a hate for MLs. I used to use tankie a lot, but after moving to Lemmy I realized it was not used the same way as I used it. I myself was getting called a tankie, and anarchists are obviously anything but authoritarian. I think the dilution of the word is a big reason why anti-"tankie" commentary is so prevalent. Most people don't realize they are using it wrong, and so it takes away any meaning when people are using it correctly. Can't take the serious stuff seriously cause its like the boy who cried wolf. I moved on to using the term "red-fash" to avoid the confusion. Plus I blocked Lemmy.ml, so that limits how much red-fash bs I have to put up with. But it definitely isn't perfect, it doesn't block users just the communities. But that does significantly cut back the amount of red-fash bs I have to see.

Shows the comment you are replying to while you are typing the reply, lots of customizability, a much cleaner and professional look, better filters, an explore page where it shows trending communities and stuff, and shows thumbnails to links. Thats all the stuff I have found so far.

Just Jerboa for Lemmy. Although I did just swap to Voyager and I'm really enjoying it. Way better than Jerboa

I posted this in my friend's discord server and he gave me "The Role of Shame."
