2025.01.27 04:44 tpjv86b 'Selfless' Imperial Japanese policeman visits pregnant Korean mother daily and delivers her baby after forcing her husband into Imperial war service: a 1945 ‘heartwarming’ propaganda tale
In the waning days of Japanese colonial rule in January 1945, a propaganda article was published in the Keijo Nippo newspaper in Seoul, Korea retelling what appears on the surface to be a heartwarming story of selfless generosity. A Japanese police officer Korea went above and beyond to help Mrs. Ryōko Hirata, a heavily pregnant Korean mother, after her husband was conscripted into the Imperial war effort. The officer was the one to hand the conscription order to her husband. After the reluctant husband was sent away, the officer reportedly visited Ryōko daily, provided money, arranged for medicine and a midwife, and even helped deliver her baby. It is presented as a tale of compassion and duty. Original caption: Officer Okamoto with the joyful Hirata family But was it truly altruism? Or did the officer have ulterior motives? While the article paints a rosy picture, a more critical examination of the narrative suggests that maybe this is not the entire story. The mother is later expected to "work" once she recovers. Why? How exactly was she supposed to "repay" the officer’s kindness? This raises uncomfortable questions: Was the officer creating a sense of indebtedness to manipulate her? If there was a romantic interest involved, his actions could have been aimed at building a more intimate relationship with Ryōko, more akin to grooming behavior. Another disturbing aspect is from the perspective of Ryōko’s husband. Deployed on mandatory Imperial war service, he may have been deeply uneasy about a Japanese officer becoming so intimate with his wife in his absence. Yet he had no choice but to put on a brave face. In a humiliating show of forced gratitude, he referred to the officer as his family’s "guardian god" in his letters—an acknowledgment likely born of necessity rather than true sentiment. Furthermore, it is important to consider the role of Imperial police officers during this era. These were influential figures who not only enforced colonial law but also worked closely with the Imperial Army and local patriotic groups (neighborhood cells). Police officers often wielded significant power over local communities, including decisions on conscription. It is entirely plausible that this officer played a role in determining who received conscription orders and may have ensured that Mr. Hirata was drafted—potentially setting the stage for his narrative of "saving" the Hirata family in the husband’s absence. In Imperial Japan, there were different types of conscription orders differentiated by the color of the paper that they were printed on: red (赤紙, Akagami), white (白紙, Hakushi), blue (青紙, Aogami), and also pink paper (紅紙, Kōgami). White Paper conscription was used for "educational conscription" and training-related activities, such as "教育召集" (educational conscription), "演習召集" (training mobilization), and "簡閲点呼" (roll-call inspection). Red and pink papers were generally used for calling people into active military service, and blue papers were used for short-term homeland defense, particularly against events like air raids. Given that Mr. Hirata was a married father with children, he may have been issued a red, pink, or blue paper on this particular occasion. The issuing of these orders was a way to manage the different needs and urgencies of military and homeland activities during the war period. We can safely assume that the Hirata family was ethnic Korean, as another propaganda article from 1943 featured a model Korean family from the same neighborhood, Sungin-dong, and Ryōko appears to be wearing Hanbok in the news photo. The police officer in question, Officer Okamoto, is described as hailing from Kagoshima Prefecture, so he is ethnic Japanese. [Translation] Gyeongseong Ilbo (Keijo Nippo) January 10, 1945 On Days Off, Officers Dedicate Themselves to Welfare Visits Two Policemen Protect the Families of Conscripted Warriors "Maintaining public order is not the sole duty of a police officer." This is the story of a policeman who steadfastly supported the family of a conscripted warrior, ensuring that a heavily pregnant wife on the verge of homelessness received proper care, including medicine and medical attention, and safely delivered her child. It is also the story of another policeman who, despite his modest salary, set aside part of his income each month to provide living expenses for conscripted families. These two heartwarming episodes of compassion and unity between police and citizens shine as inspirational examples of humanity and courage to mark a bright and resolute start to the New Year. Officer Yoshiaki Okamoto, originally from Kagoshima and stationed at the Dongmyo Police Substation under the Dongdaemun Precinct in Seoul, visited the home of Mr. Takemitsu Hirata in Sungin-dong, Dongdaemun District, one bitterly cold evening in December of last year. He carried with him an official conscription deployment order. Upon receiving the conscription deployment order, Mr. Hirata was taken aback and turned to look at his wife. His wife, Ryōko, was in the final month of her pregnancy and could give birth at any moment, whether that day or the next. Desperate, Mr. Hirata pleaded with Officer Okamoto, asking if there was any way his departure could be postponed until after the child was born. Officer Okamoto was troubled by the request but knew that a supreme national mandate could not be swayed by personal circumstances. Thus, Mr. Hirata, unable to wait for his child to be born, resolved himself and left for his conscription duty. At that moment, Officer Okamoto firmly vowed in his heart, "Alright, I will take full responsibility for what comes next." From that day forward, he visited the Hirata household daily, attending to various needs. Additionally, he gave her an envelope of money, instructing her to use it for childbirth expenses. Upon learning of the situation, Mr. Motoki Matsue, the neighborhood leader of the sixth patriotic group, also stepped in. Declaring, "It is the duty of our patriotic group to protect the families of conscripted warriors," he contributed 50 yen. Together with Officer Okamoto, he worked tirelessly, arranging for medicine and a midwife, their efforts marked by heartfelt determination. Thus, Ryōko, despite feeling the loneliness of a home without her husband, safely delivered her child amidst an outpouring of kindness that brought her to tears. The baby, born healthy, welcomed the New Year in good health. Officer Okamoto was not only known for his recent acts of kindness. In the past, he had selflessly taken a penniless blind man to Seoul Imperial University Hospital at his own expense, where he arranged ten days of treatment for him. For this compassionate act, he was commended by Chief Ushijima of the Dongdaemun Precinct. When Officer Okamoto received his year-end bonus, he chose not to celebrate solely for himself. Instead, he decided to share the joy of the New Year with thirteen families of conscripted soldiers within his jurisdiction who faced the holiday without their loved ones. To these families, he sent heartfelt year-end gifts filled with warmth and care. Ryōko Hirata said, "When my husband left, I felt a deep sense of loneliness and wondered how we would manage. However, thanks to Officer Okamoto’s many acts of kindness, my child was born safely. I informed my husband of everything, and he replied, 'Officer Okamoto is a living guardian god for our family. Please express my heartfelt gratitude to him. I will work with all my might to repay this debt of gratitude, but you must not rely too much on his kindness. As soon as you recover, work to repay his generosity as well.' Now that I have recovered, I am ready to take on any work," she said, her voice trembling and filled with tears. [Photo caption: Officer Okamoto with the joyful Hirata family.] Similarly, Officer Shigeru Yamaguchi, also stationed at the Dongmyo Substation and originally from Wakayama Prefecture, took it upon himself to assess the living conditions of conscripted warriors’ families. During his visits, he discovered that the wife of Mr. Yoshimichi Niraku, living at 52-7 Sungin-dong in Dongdaemun District, was struggling to support four children in a rented home and could not even afford rice. Moved by their plight, Officer Yamaguchi secretly began sending monthly financial support to the family. On his days off, he made it a point to visit and provide further assistance. Working together with the aforementioned Officer Okamoto, they encouraged each other and alternated visits to the family every two days. When Precinct Chief Ushijima learned of these acts, he was overjoyed, saying, "You have done a remarkable job. I wholeheartedly commend your efforts and have also given a small monetary reward as an example for others to follow."

2025.01.27 04:44 Pussylover52 Folks, I know that there has been a divide between whether we should bring Battinson in the DCU or not, but if they did for whatever reason (even with the Batman from Creature Commandos being different Batman) this is how I think they should do it
Superman 2025:
*Introduction*
*movie*
*End Credits*
End Credit scene:
We cut to a bunch of bats flying around the screen as we cut to The Batcave, with The Batbike and what appears to be Batman watching something in The Batcomputer from a distance. We cut to screens of the Batcomputer showing the events of the movie, as well as newspapers hung up of the events. Superman is interviewing with Lois from The Daily Planet as we rotate, to reveal to be an unmasked Batman with mascara, the same Batman from 2022’s The Batman. We see in his face that he looks serious and concerned. Alfred walks in and says “You know, you’ve been watching this Superman guy all night”. Batman replies with “I just need to know if he can be trusted, times are changing Alfred, before, our biggest problems were clowns, mobsters, and serial killers obsessed with puzzles. Now, we have aliens and shape-shifting monsters who can pretend to be anybody”. As Batman talks, he stands up and puts on his mask, the film ends with Giacchino’s score being played as the camera zooms out on Batman on the side. We cut to Black.

2025.01.27 04:44 Forsaken_Impact8340 Streak 194 from Korea
I hurt my left palm about a week ago when I drank too much and lost both self control and my memory of that day. I vaguely remember that I put my palms on the ground when I fell, and I think that's when I hurt my left palm.
Have you ever hurt your palms? I didn't realize how much I use my palms in daily life until I couldn't use one of them. First of all, I can't grip anything with my left hand. Can you imagine? I can't even open the door with my left hand, and I can't move a box that is too heavy to carry with one hand.
Another inconvinience I'm facing is that I can't wash my body the way I used to do. Since I have to avoid getting water or soap on my left palm, I have to wash my face with one hand, which is quite awkward and unsatisfying. I also have to keep my left hand raised while taking a shower so that it doesn't get wet.
I regret drinking so much. I'll never make the same mistake again.

2025.01.27 04:44 alias_reddit1 Redoing this bc yall think im a bot and got my post flagged
our society is in its greatest downfall
Hello, as you can tell from the title of this post it’s going to be a long one.
I was scrolling instagram today and I came across some videos regarding the Holocaust, like anybody would do I felt really sad for the victim and I went to the comments to see what people were saying. This is when I found out people thought the holocaust was made up propaganda, and that the victim wasn’t valid because she is from Israel, everyone started calling her a Zionist and a liar, this shocked me. People not believing in the Holocaust, or thinking it was made up never even crossed my mind ever until I saw those comments, I guess I just thought everyone regardless of beliefs collectively agreed the Holocaust was a bad. This genuinely made me feel so sick, I went on the Holocaust museum and the comments were filled with “How are you helping people in Gaza” and “Genocide supporter” excuse me what? This is the Holocaust, this museum was established before the Palestine v Israel war gained the publicity it has today. This is not just a post about the Holocaust, this recent election quite literally fucked our society, if you are a conservative and you see a liberal talking on social media you automatically don’t like them, and vice versa. Comments on political videos are just filled with disgusting comments, and how the persons opinion is not valid and that person is essentially black listed from the opposing party. Before this election of course there was Political talk and debates on topics like abortion and LGBTQ+, but now it’s all or nothing you either believe it or you don’t and either opinion people will be angry. We will never coexist the same again. Comments under videos of both Women and men talking about there experience with sexual assault and violence are guaranteed to have someone saying they aren’t valid and that they are playing the “victim card” If we bring up the Palestine Israel war you can’t say your neutral or don’t have any potential controversial opinions on it or you will be listed as a Zionist or a genocide supporter. I will probably be called a Zionist just by posting this and I never said my opinions on this war. Nobody will ever just let people believe in what they want because they feel the need to defend their own beliefs. I keep seeing videos of people saying all LGBTQ should be banned because it’s against their personal beliefs. Just let people be happy, it’s so simple, yet it does so much. I personally don’t believe our society will recover from this election and everything that’s happening with Politics and the war in the Middle East etc. I would love my opinion to change because I want to be hopeful for our society but I just don’t think that’s a reality. Proof that I’m not a bot because yall are acc crazy. My posts keep getting removed because I’m not an active member in their community, I don’t use Reddit so Ivebjust been looking for a sub to post this in.

Wondering how I can alleviate the situation by finding a replacement.
Right now I Have MIYABI/LIGHTER vs BURNICE/PIPER asking for her and she can't be in two places at the same time at deadly assault or even Shiyu.
I joined in the burnice banner so I won't have anybody before. Since then I missed only on Yanagi. I also have Astra Yao.
My concern is figuring out which of the teams needs Lucy the least and who to field instead.
