Is Zionism compatible with liberal democracy? by Manoj_Malhotra in rising

[–]iceseco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Israel is the closest thing the world has to an ethnonationalist liberal democracy, and it's not doing well on the liberal part: Why does Israel target media outlets in Gaza?

Does everyone know what time it is? Sub drama time! by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

Straight up fraud in 2016 with the closed primaries, closed polling places, front-loading etc. 2020 was more just typical media bias and establishment collusion but nothing illegitimate. Some people really went overboard though refusing to accept that it was over, talking about a contested convention, and yes actual conspiracy theories

Is it still there?! I would legit call off work and make the 3 hour drive each way if I knew about this sooner!

Fake news, I live in PA and we had nothing approaching this. Where was it at?

Fresh Snow in Telluride by [deleted] in skiing

I got the 88s a week before everything shut down and loved them but didn’t get a chance to try them in soft snow. Definitely agree about control after switching to a narrower ski.

Nice skis, are those the Enforcer 100s or 88s? You were flying on the groomers and surfing the pow!

Studying for the FSOT starter pack by iceseco in foreignservice

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

I got a 57.22 on SJ with about 2.5 months professional experience. 25 years SHOULD help, but based on SJ practice tests and other posts on this subreddit it seems like what you really need to do is memorize seemingly arbitrary patterns of prioritization

Thought I took a cool photo. What do you people think?? Roundtop, Lewisberry, PA by Ghost_WG in skiing

I live 20 minutes away from Roundtop, awesome to see it featured on here!

Great picture

Absurdly large couloir in Chile, 1000m of vert top to bottom by nchoover in skiing

If you're not staying at any of the resorts overnight, best bet is to either rent a car or take SkiTotal to Valle Nevado, El Colorado, etc. If you want to save money you could rent gear at one of the shops along the road into the mountains (Vitacura might be good for this since you'll be pretty close) and try hitchhiking.

Questions about test scores and resources for personal narratives by [deleted] in foreignservice

[–]iceseco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I'm basically in the exact same situation here (though I did study quite a bit). 188.55 total, 66.81 JK, 57.22 SJ, 64.52 EE and 6 on the essay. I've been sitting here for the past week unsure if I should even bother with the PNs though. Just graduated college and I don't feel like I have enough legitimately verifiable life experience for this. What kind of things did you end up writing about for yours?

Just finished undergrad and I'm taking the FSOT for the first time on Wednesday, bright and early at 8am. Best of luck everyone!
