By 1944 suicide attacks had become de facto conventional air attacks for most Japanese pilots attacking American naval task forces.
For example, the Battle of the Philippine Sea justly earned the nickname the “Marianas Turkey Shoot” because the Japanese air units lost over five-hundred aircraft attacking the US fleet with only minor damage to the USS South Dakota to show for their efforts.
Takijirō Ōnishi committed ritual suicide (seppuku) in his quarters on 16 August 1945, following the unconditional surrender of Japan at the end of World War II. His suicide note apologized to the approximately 4,000 pilots whom he had sent to their deaths, and urged all young civilians who had survived the war to work towards rebuilding Japan and peace among nations. He also stated that he would offer his death as a penance to the kamikaze pilots and their families. Accordingly, he did not use a kaishakunin (a second who executes him by beheading), and died of self-inflicted injuries over a period of 15 hours.
The homie sent over the new music video and single from Austin indie rock band Animals On TV. Called “MTV 2095” the synth pop drenched garage rock single draws on music from the ’60s and into the early 2000’s. MTV 2095 addresses the future in a fun way referencing “digital Japan,” as a stand-in for an exotic future destination.
As people grow and change, it’s not uncommon for individuals to outgrow some of their friendships. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as pursuing different interests, moving to different locations, or simply changing as individuals.
When you outgrow your friends, you may start to feel disconnected from them and may not enjoy spending time with them as much as you used to. You may find that you have less in common with them and that your values, beliefs, and goals no longer align.

1. I think the thing lots of guys don’t understand is there is a difference between being nice and being kind. Anybody can be “nice” but if you’re only being nice to someone to gain something in return, I think most people can pick up on that and it’s a huge turn-off. However if you’re genuinely a kind person and treat people well regardless of what they can offer you, that is very very attractive.
I just found out my 15 years old daughter is not my biological child.
My daughter was preparing for a family tree project for an online class and wanted an ancestry test.
My father is half Native American but he died several years ago and I don’t know precisely what Native American blood is in the family.
My daughter came to me because it was my father and we didn’t mention it to her mother at the time. Well it turned out my daughter doesn’t have any Native American blood.
The school was established in 1879 in order to forcibly assimilate Indigenous children into western society by stripping them of their native language, culture, traditions, and clothing. Physical, emotional and sexual abuse were rampant as was forced labor in these schools.
“How many times do we pay for one mistake? The answer is thousands of times. The human is the only animal on earth that pays a thousand times for the same mistake. The rest of the animals pay once for every mistake they make. But not us. We have a powerful memory. We make a mistake, we judge ourselves, we find ourselves guilty, and we punish ourselves. If justice exists, then that was enough; we don’t need to do it again. But every time we remember, we judge ourselves again, we are guilty again, and we punish ourselves again, and again, and again. If we have a wife or husband he or she also reminds us of the mistake, so we can judge ourselves again, punish ourselves again, and find ourselves guilty again. Is this fair?”
― Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements
