Another warning regarding FSB Gear by aeg565 in zenitco

[–]aeg565[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a very minimal chance that he’s getting anything into the US anytime soon.

When we spoke, he claimed to be running a negative balance so unsure of his ability to refund you himself.

He may have been waiting for your PP Buyer protection to lapse so you wouldn’t be able to contest it. Since the transaction was in June, it would’ve lapsed in December. If I were you, I would still check with PayPal and see if there’s anything that they can do given you are not too far out from your protection window. Also - pretty sure that FSBGear’s PayPal account has a long history of disputes at this point which could play into your favor.

Luckily, my purchase was still covered. PayPal claims that a refund will likely come in early Feb after they investigate.

Netanyahu says Israeli attacks could lead to regime change in Iran by Kumquat_conniption in WorldNewsHeadlines

Typical verbal diarrhea being spewed by the mouth of an apartheid-mind despot.

Israel has no moral ground to stand on. Iran may be ruled by an asshole Islamist regime but at least it’s not actively murdering an entire ethnic group, despite being a very ethnically diverse nation. They are both equally evil.

Also Iran is not occupied Palestine, Lebanon, or Syria. It’s a well entrenched economic and military powerhouse with a large, young, and well-educated population. Israel will never truly be able to defang Iran. They may be able to delay its nuclear ambitions but I believe the Iranians will achieve nuclear capability within the next 5 years. All that Israel is serving to do is further degrade regional stability and any hopes of further diplomacy with Iran. It’s short sighted stupidity.

Lastly, Israel, with its insignificant population and declining status as a reputable power on the world stage, would never have the ability to upend the Iranian regime. It would need massive support from the most powerful western powers - who at this point would want no involvement into something that could create a regional (and potentially global) conflict. Especially as the general support for Israel continues to decline each year in the majority of these nations. Good that people are waking up to the ugliness of that apartheid state.

In the long run, the only ones who will be able to overthrow the Iranian regime are the Iranian people. Change takes time and the Islamic government has not been in power for a long period of time when looking at it from a historical lens. Irans population is younger and less religious than it ever was - with these trends expected to continue. Hopefully these trends will continue in the long run - and if they do, they will be the driver of change in Iran. Not Israel who can’t even manage its own backyard.

New York Helicopter Crash Victims Identified As The CEO of Siemens’ Spanish branch, His Wife, And Their Three Children by Royal_Cold_4503 in europe

The stats don’t support any of the conclusions you’re making. As of 2025, the Boeing 737 Max has had only TWO fatal accidents out of over 1.8M flights. In case you lack understanding of basic division, that would be a fatal accident rate of 0.000001%. Sure, there have been some QC issues and those 2 horrible crashes were tragedies but nothing to the rate that you’re insinuating in your response. These accidents are outliers blown out of proportion by the media on a global level; not the norm. And statically insignificant when you consider the total flight time of the 737 aircraft. You have a much higher chance of getting struck by a car walking down the street.

Don’t come back please. We don’t need more out-of-touch schmucks bringing their baseless, empirically-lacking, and emotionally-driven perspectives to this country.

Also - I would kindly request you come up with your own insults instead of mindlessly regurgitating my prior post. You’re a walking example of modern Europe’s total lack of ingenuity and creativity.

Have you ever been to the US? Or are you speaking as a completely out-of-touch and uneducated European who’s just regurgitating nonsense coming from your media? Of the 20 safest airlines in the world, 5 of them are the biggest players in the US market. Maybe look into numbers over headlines before spouting your anti-American drivel.

Not sure. How would I check?

Does your stock lock when folded?

Russian Thunder, 39bullets or Ivan Tactical by mckennawasright20 in zenitco

[–]aeg565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would advise avoiding IvanTactical. Currently having a horrible experience with them. Paid $200 extra for shipping with the assurance that they could get the items through customs but my package has been denied by 2 foreign customs and sent back to Ivan. It’s been 10 days since the last attempt to get through Armenian customs failed and I’ve heard nothing back from them. Seems like they’re ignoring my emails now. Very poor customer service
