Easy enough to do!

Build a camp with free high quality food and Healthcare. Safe homes for families to live in for free. A mission statement focused on a K-Masters education and continued education with community workshops, gardens, and kitchens to further develope core life skills.

Then let people come and go as they please.

Perfect concentration camp achieved.

I think they were attempting to imply he was more dangerous than her and more deserving of being on the list. Its probably true, but tactically chosen pictures make the differences between them more extreme, less than a mug shot of her and a wedding photo of him would, as an example.

I am surprised they didn't find the classic terrorist photo (holding a weapon) they usually seek out for these headlines.

Compared to what I usually see, this is pretty mild.

He doesn't really look angry to me. And he does have a beard and is Arab so those seem like things that will be in every picture of him.

I'm sure hos photo is from the wanted list and hers is from her bio somewhere, but the juxtaposition just serves to magnify the point.

Huzzah! Looking forward to this one.

Dear God, I agree so much. I'm so tired of that era. I really think I would love to see the immediate aftermath of Voyager's return along with the scientific advances and knowledge they gathered along the way. They were first contact for dozens of worlds. Picard showed us that the Romulan Empire collapsed (which is huge!) and there was a widespread implementation of androids (made no sense) and widespread use of holographic crew (made perfect sense).

I would have loved to see us get there in a relatively slow pace like DS9 did with the War against the dominion. Even that still deserves a little more exposure which would be in the same time period. I can imagine people still being paranoid about shapeshifters for years after.

I was gonna say that it would only be unfortunate due to giving them a reason to attack Iran, but history has shown us that doesn't matter. We'll do that regardless. If we dont have a reason we've been happy to just make one up.

At this point its really just a matter of not wanting to actually fight America on the battlefield.

Uh... they're still people. They like doing good rewarding things and they like learning real skills.

In this case they aren't ever in neighborhoods spraying down homes. These are the guys in hills cutting fire breaks to stop the fires from ever reaching homes.

None of these fire fighters are forced. Its a job that they earn privileges for doing. They're probably not as gung-ho about it as someone who's made a career of it but they aren't slaves like you're imagining.

Who's allowing it because of the time waiting? Are they in the room with us? >.>

Wether it's acceptable or not is irrelevant to scrolling through social media or the existence of memes, moth or otherwise. Seeing some memes after years of people endlessly posting about the various conflicts, (because you are tripping hard of you think no one has been talking about the genocide on this website...) doesn't imply anyone thinks its "acceptable" to allow it (or is allowing it?).

I've seen a bunch of his shorts and its obscene the things builders skip and then get furious about being called out on.

On release that may be fine, but it will exist for years. My expectation is that it released with a shit screen so they could normalize that price point and then sell a + version in a year for another $150.

You're already being kidnapped and potentially sent to an out of country prison with no hearing. There is no downside under these parameters.

 

I've noticed that every product I've bought in the past year with a zip-lock seal is destroyed with common use. I actually think the zip-lock itself has gotten stronger. The bag rips before the seal opens on half the bags now and whenever I try to opens bags I had no issues with before, I find myself stretching/warping the plastic before the seal eventually opens.

It's pretty frustrating and I am seeing it across many products. Cheese bags, storage bags, snacks etc...
