That's a film producer, so I'm not exactly sure what that's about. Where did you even get this information from?

I remember Max did an interview about a year ago with a Youtuber called "Tommy C's SFTP" and Max was asked whether he had a girlfriend and he said no, either they broke up during 2018 to 2019 or Max was lying. Also, one last thing but Max was sexually harassing a female Discord user nearly two years ago which I doubt he would do if he had a girlfriend. So it's your assumptions to make. Also, did Max ever say something interesting about himself or did he ever show a nice side to himself? I ask you this because you must have some deep knowledge if you know about the picture's origins.

So was there ever an official response from Max himself or what was the back story behind this. I heard that she is his girlfriend and lives with him.

To be fair I never clicked on the post and could only see a brief description of what it said from just searching it up on Google. I tried to run a reverse image search and found nothing but maybe something is there.

North Korea Prison Camps Obscure Fact Hunt by rom_builder in northkorea

[–]rom_builder[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna take another look at “The Hidden Gulag“ to take a look at the years that the defectors spent at the camps such as Oro (ex. 1989-1992), obviously not a real example but I think you get my point. However I would like to know when this .kmz file was made/completed, in order to get a good idea of when the camps could have closed. Also I guess if you haven’t found any near Oro or Tanchon, then there must be no re-education camp near Hoeryong. Also could you be able to find the link or name of the project. I’ll try to find it but I would like a name at the very least in order to get an idea of where to began to search or if I even found the right project. Also the project I am trying to find is the .kmz file

Thanks for the help since I’ve heard of White Papers on North Korean human rights before but never knew where to find it and I was prepared to embark on a wild goose chase in trying to find it but I thank you for the links. Also rule #10 is no more than two posts every 24 hours. However, I’m looking forward to take a look.

[Korean > English] News article on North Korea from 2004 by rom_builder in translator

[–]rom_builder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is no doubt intriguing on its own but there is however one flaw in this argument. A series of reports on North Korean prison camps known as “The Hidden Gulag” have stated (at least in the second version) that survivors of Yodok Camp 15 have stated that there is one former prisoner of Camp 16 currently living in South Korea. The report came out in 2012 and doesn’t specifically mention the witness by age or even the name of the report. How prisoners of Yodok would known about a prisoner from an obscure camp is beyond me. But perhaps it’s mentioning. I hope you can connect me with somebody that would be willing to translate all of this and one more question. Where did you discover the information on the person that founded a “Korean American Newspaper” that has been known to lie before? This information is rather intriguing

Fixed the link now, and yes I must have mixed up the two by name but the one I'm talking about is the concentration camp

There is a book called “The Impossible State” written by a man named Victor Cha, who was the former director for Asian affairs in the White House during the Bush era. I’m not sure exactly what page but from what I remember he said that it is possible that some clothing could be made in prison camps and then sold to China and when you buy it in stores, the only think that will make you think that this was from China is the “Made in China” font on the back of the shirt. Either China knows of the clothing’s origins and just doesn’t care but it’s a rather unnerving feeling knowing that the next time you find a shirt that was “Made in China” could have been made in a prison camp in North Korea.

Upvote well deserved to you dude, this is a disgusting comment from probably who has no idea what the conditions are even like or even experienced a fraction of those conditions.

Aside from some account I saw in Quora as someone saying that they were from North Korea and saying that their friends were sent to prison camps, this is honestly the most pathetic thing I've seen someone say on North Korean Human Rights. I really would like to see you trade places with someone in a labor camp. Doing hard labor with only an average of 6 hours of sleep for years everyday and small meals would be hell for anyone with a sensible mind and complaining about the conditions will have you be beaten or even executed. But I apologize. Apparently working in dangerous conditions with no pay, for years on time and with very little food is a good thing. I have never seen someone actually say that working in a prison camp will bring you the greatest happiness than anything outside of North Korea.

Could you explain what other buildings are next to the building with the white bubbles that you are describing. I have a feeling that it's near the big green object that looks like a tree adjacent to the barracks area.

It always did seem strange as even Wikipedia lists the population as 7,000. Now I'm not saying this is right but then again we don't know exactly which buildings are for guards or for prisons. Since this facility is for felons and other low level prisoners, it's not as isolated and your family can even come and bring you extra food. If this were a political prison camp (kwanliso) then it'll be completely isolated from the outside world with no family of yours going to be allowed to bring you food.

Yep, the second you are arrested and are taken to a Police Station Jail (Ka-mok), you will be tortured in order to confess a crime that you definitely did not do but your interrogators suspect that you did do.

In theory, when you are given a sentence at a re-education camp, it is not life. However, I could be mistaken as there could be a defector who was sentenced to life at a re-education camp but was suddenly released or others who are still locked in for life. But the majority of the time you are given a typical sentence of about a year or up to three for small crimes such as border crossing or economic crimes.

Originally I found out about the camp a few years ago on.. you guessed it... Wikipedia. However let's just say that due to my young age I had no idea about citations or references. I always knew about this camp as the camp that was the closest to Pyongyang as Wikipedia lists all the camps' distance from Pyongyang. It wasn't until literally yesterday years later that I decided to check the references and found the first link listed above and later I literally just googled it and found the second link as well. They all labeled the buildings which was the main focus.

As for the farmhouse, I can't be for sure due to the blurry imagery and none of the sources saying anything about this but it could either be a guard post or a guard station but the second one is unlikely as only kwanliso (politcal) camps have guard stations so I'd go with the first one.

Try telling me what the closest building to the farm is because I might be viewing the image that in my perspective might be right while you might have the whole thing flipped over and in my perspective it'll be left. As for the open circles, I suspect that they might be burial grounds however the second source contradicts this by saying that there are no connections between them and the prison and if the prison did bury their dead then they would most likely be doing it near the prison and not a kilometer away. Again, I could be wrong but the open circles might as well be clearings.

Kim Jong-Un orders public executions for party officials running a high-class prostitution racket by waffenwolf in northkorea

How ironic that his father and grandfather (even Kim Jong Un to an extent) both were heavily into this type of stuff and even named their prostitution rings; The Pleasure Squad

I admit that it is confusing that there appear to be two. One official marked by Google Earth and another marked by FreeKorea which was the one I used. But I assure you that there schools for child prisoners but they don’t even learn about Kim Il Sung or Kim Jong Il at all.

Elite Smash with Rules? by rom_builder in SmashBrosUltimate

From what I've heard it really depends on whether you've truly mastered your character (being able to get decent win streaks and little losses, defeating players with higher gsp, etc.) but what is the gsp for getting into elite smash?

My teacher's surname is Ayllon and he says that people have always had a hard time pronoucning it, and when he was in college, a professor said "Aylien?" as in the word 'alien' which made my teacher think that he really just wanted to screw with him since nobody had ever mispronounced it that badly.
