The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was a segregated US Army unit made up of Japanese-Americans, many of which had joined the army directly from internment camps. They fought in Italy, France, and Germany, ultimately becoming the most decorated American unit in WW2.

They earned more than 18,000 awards, including 9,500 Purple Hearts, 5,200 Bronze Star Medals, 588 Silver Stars, 52 Distinguished Service Crosses, 7 Distinguished Unit Citations, and one Congressional Medal of Honor.

The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 2.5 times. In total, about 10,000 men served. The unit was awarded eight Presidential Unit Citations (5 earned in one month). Twenty-one of its members were awarded Medals of Honour.

Members of the 442nd received 18,143 awards in less than two years.

That's amazing, you egg.

so chatgpt also do personality tests as well.

Based on your responses, it seems that you are a reflective and introspective person who values peace, harmony, and personal growth. You tend to be cautious and measured in your approach to challenges, preferring to seek help when needed and not taking unnecessary risks. Your imagination and interest in the supernatural suggest that you have a creative and open-minded outlook, but your trust issues and introverted nature may make it difficult for you to fully express and share your ideas with others.

Your desire for a peaceful and happy life without conflict suggests that you are motivated by personal fulfillment and well-being, and you may find meaning in exploring the mysteries of the world around you. Your tendency to rely on your feelings and intuition rather than pure logic suggests that you are guided by your heart as much as your head, and you may find value in exploring your emotions and inner thoughts to better understand yourself and your place in the world.

Overall, your responses suggest that you are a complex and multi-dimensional person with a unique perspective on life, and you may find fulfillment in pursuing your passions and exploring the world around you in your own way.

I learned that vaginal births and breastfeeding lower the chances of asthma. Also, a child's microbe biome is about the same as an adult human by the age of 2.

So ages 0-2 is when they develop their microbes from a blank slate.

Realized irl healers can get their licence removed/suspended if they display bad behaviour outside of work, including on social media. Had a peer get into bar fight, it got posted online, and they got suspended. Probably forgot the memo that we took an oath that explicitly states 'do no harm'.

4000 year old Babylonian clay tablet which is a customer's letter complaining about sub-standard copper and wanting a refund. This is considered to be the oldest known written complaint

.

The tablet reads:
“Tell Ea-Nasir: Nanni sends the following message:
When you came, you said to me: “I will give fine quality copper ingots.”
You left, but you did not do what you promised me.
You put ingots which were not good before my messenger and said:
“If you want to take them, take them; if you do not want to take them, go away!”
What do you take me for that you treat me with such contempt? …
… How have you treated me for that copper?
You have withheld my money bag from me in enemy territory;
it is now up to you to restore to me in full.
Take notice that I will not accept any copper from you that is not of fine quality.
I shall select and take the ingots individually in my yard,
and I shall exercise against you my right of rejection because you have treated me with contempt.”

If I remember correctly, there were a bunch of other Babylonian carvings of complaints and letters of receipt that were all addressed to one dude who historians believe to be a copper conman. Funny enough, all of these carving were found in the same place so it is believed that he collected the complaints he received.

Windows’ arrow pointer is not symmetrical. This is due to optical balancing, if the arrow was designed to be geometrically symmetrical, it would not appear symmetrical to our eyes.

"You're crying for no reason," is a phrase that some parents actually say IRL. I thought it was just inexperienced nannies who said that shit.

I tend to forget that most people never took a human development course. It's better for my mental health when I imagine other parents actually have a clue about what they are doing.
