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 wrote my congresswoman and told her she lost my vote over this.

He and his friends should do something about that.

This is the reason I used being left handed as the example. We got over it.

Teaching children how to make weapons is the recipe for revolution. Its not instant, but its something i would think twice about as an autocrat. Its like training a bunch of Unibombers.

They were invaded by 1 of the 2 nations that agreed to protect them if they disarmed. The US did not uphold its obligations 3 times in a row through multiple administration's. The latest conflict in Ukraine is a result of actions taken by the USA, followed by inaction on our part.

If we didn't request their disarmament, lie about protecting them, it would be a very different landscape there right now.

It isn't solely the fault of the US, but we are major contributors.

You keep writing like they have them and thats why they are being attacked. Its specifically because they dont yet have them that they are being attacked. If they already had them like North Korea, their situation would be more similar. I doubt people would be bombing them, in the same way people aren't bombing North Korea despite it acting very hostile and making direct threats.

 

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...
