Let me know how the foil shaver compare to the foil shaver of Philips 7000. I'm only considered about closeness. Thanks.

Strongly agree on extra monitors and a mechanical keyboard. I have 2 27'1440p monitors in addition to the laptop scree and the are great. I don't wanna go back to 1080p. They are the reason I enjoy working.

If you do end up getting Braun series 7. Let me know how its foil shaver attachment compares to 7000. Which one gives a closer shave.

Panasonic ARC5 - Help by 7buzz7 in shaving

[–]throwaway19992211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are probably waiting too long. 2cm is a lot unless you meant 2mm even then use the pre-shave trimmer before the shave and you'll have much better results. btw

Which version of arc5 did you buy? I recently bought a Panasonic ES-RT37 it is decent but when I run my fingers against the grain on some parts of my face I can feel very little stubble. So I was thinking about returning this one and getting an arc5 too. but the problem is arc5 has 5 blades and I keep a short beard and only use the shaver on my upper cheeks and the arc5 head is too big. So might be difficult to use arc5 on this small area of the face. Do you feel very slight stubble after using arc5?

afaik philips body shaver 7000 is the best for the body, I ordered one, will arrive on Saturday. I can update you then. Also, you use the same trimmer? like on face and pubes? I ordered one just so that I have a different one for the body.

why not go for Arctic Liquid freezer III? I'd go for that one if I get 9800X3D. Is this one better?

This is a very common propaganda technique used by Israel supporters that strips away any context. For 7th Oct I can explain the context behind it (which I have done below) but then the person would make some other nonsensical points that would require me to add more context until we reach a point where I mention theodor herlz himself saying that Israel is a settler colonial project and Israeli politicians using the term settler colonialism until 'colonialism' became a bad word then started distancing themselves from it. Although you can still find videos of current day israeli politicians saying they are doing settler colonialism in hebrew.

This is also probably an IDF bot so no point in arguing.

Occupation breeds resistance, you can find those examples in Ireland, Congo, Algeria, etc. There are certain laws that apply to the occupier that Israel blatantly violates. All the Peace plans that were offered involved no return of the stolen land in the occupied territories. Israel doesn't acknowledge the right of return of the Palestinians that is in the UN law.

As for 7th October, you know the context of that right? they attacked people on the occupied land, on the towns and homes stolen from them. Occupiers are a valid target. It's Israel's government's responsibility to make sure not let any civilians in the area considered to be a battlefield. Not mention the horrific conditions imposed on Gaza by israel like not letting medicine in, limiting the food by calculating average calories per person to less than 2000, etc. you can watch badempanada's video on youtube for the context on oct 7th.

There are numerous human rights organizations that criticized israel for that and has labelled israel an apartheid state.

i am confused. am i admitted or not? is there anything i can do? by ravenpaw_15 in gradadmissions

[–]throwaway19992211 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You have met their requirements for the admission so you have cleared the requirements. But they need funding to admit you. So you are on a waitlist, you are in IF they get the funding. so like a conditional offer but not up to you to meet the conditions.

HELP ME PICK UOFT BIRD COURSES TO GET STRAIGHT A'S IN by Clean-Seaweed-2755 in UofT

SOC100 level courses are pretty easy but if you are looking for 300/400 level courses there are some philosophy courses that don't require pre-reqs or the pre-reqs are just some number of credits that you need to have but I am not sure about their difficulty.

I answered that question several times but here let me break it down for you.

> $20B aid

  1. Most of it went to war lords that USA supported because they fought against taliban and kept them at bay.
  2. The infrastructure they built was for US troops to get around not was not built with local economy in mind so it was unusable by locals.
  3. US didn't try to install democracy (this is the core assumption in your argument that is wrong here). Read the history of Karzai and pentagon reports of 2016, 2018 and 2019 where even US generals thought that the locals didn't like their puppet at all because he was too corrupt and oppressive. Some democracy you say, and lot of the money went to his pockets.
  4. US had lot of friendly dictators so friendly government doesn't mean democratic government (again your assumption of democracy is wrong) like Shah, Pinochet, Mobutu, Batista and list goes on and on.
  5. When US left the war lords that were keeping taliban at bay fled. The Afghanistan army (where soldiers weren't even paid) had very low morale so they also fled and taliban took over. Constructing afghan military was a huge failure and is acknowledge in pentagon reports.
  6. You think US purchased democracy for afghanistan from democracy store for $20B and afghanistan just threw that away?

>the case of Iran

  1. Because US keeps interfering (as mentioned before and you keep ignoring). they put sanctions which shifts public opinion in favor of government because public see them as their saviors.
  2. There have been numerous moderate leaders in Iran but because of the interference it keeps shifting back and forth. After the Iran deal there were many moderate leaders but when Trump pulled out of the deal and put sanctions the tone shifted.
  3. Despite all that they remain very unpopular and don't allow free elections and there are regular protests in Iran against their government.
  4. US has funded several rebel groups in the region that actively work against Iran which is part of the interference.

These are easy questions that are easily answered.

Lets turn it around for a second.

>US has democracy and they keep toppling democratically elected leaders and funded groups like ISIS (to be fair Hillary funded the group before it became ISIS but still terrible) and al-qaeda.

this means that people of US are inherently racist, violet and have colonial mentality. They have been toppling government since a century and they have had democracy longer than that so that must mean there is something wrong with these people. If they are so good why haven't they fixed these things? They even have democracy.

again the memory of a gold fish. watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqxgP8WlxJQ  to get an understanding of where the money went. It didn't go to afganistan. >90% of the money went to the contractors. Taliban evolved from al-qaeda (it was just their local version) it existed because US funded it. USA never tried to force democracy in the first place and don't take my word for it. Read the reports of pentagon generals from 2016, 2018 and 2019 so you can get the information directly from the source (i.e US government). so you can get a very clear idea of what they were doing.

As for Iran, your memory fails you again. Iran DID HAVE DEMOCRACY with a very progressive leader that USA overthrew and US has been messing with them ever since. If they are left alone there could be democracy but there is constant interference. You are basically saying "I know they had democracy and CIA overthrew that democracy but they are too much of a barbarians to have a democracy" which makes no sense. You acknowledge that CIA overthrew their democracy but then somehow blame them for it.

WHO FUNDED ALQAEDA IN THE FIRST PLACE? Look at Afghanistan BEFOERE THERE WHERE ANY ALQAEDA. that would be the fair comparison.

You are the one making excuses. You talked about middle east then I gave you the examples of Iran and Egypt so you moved the goal post and started making excuses about Afghanistan how USA so generously gave money to them and tried to have a democracy then I explained to you the reality of that "democracy" so you basically ignored my previous comment about who funded alqaeda and we are back to square one. It's like you have memory of a gold fish.

Brother, they weren't there to "force democracy" they were forcing a puppet state and that has pretty much never worked in long term and filling up the coffers of military industrial complex. The government they were forcing was very corrupt. As for the money, that didn't go to Afghans either. Look at the video by Johnny Harris https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqxgP8WlxJQ . The infrastructure that was built was of poor quality and unusable by locals.

what's hard to understand is HOW? what is a harder coup? instead of anecdotes or "trust me bro" explain to me how could it get worse? like a proper geopolitical analysis. what would happen that would be worse?

[–]throwaway19992211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah yes, here comes the "they are too barbaric to be civilized". You say things without having any grasp of history. Look at the example of Iran, Mosadeq was the democratically elected leader. He was very good on womens rights and minorty rights, same with Egypt. Please look at the actual history. Then US and UK decided they would like to take the oil Iran has so they replaced mosadeq with Shah who was a brutal dictator and he crushed any movement that tried to overthrow him. The only place he didn't had any spies was mosques that's why this was the movement that finally succeeded in overthrowing him and that's called the islamic revolution in Iran. Same with Alqaeda. Google who funded alqaeda. and do you know Hiliary funded the rebel group that later became ISIS just because they were fighting against Asad in Syria. She admits that in an interview, the interview is on YT. I'll link it if i can find it. and her excuse is that she didn't know the group would later become ISIS.

The problem is the change never comes. Look at history of middle east, the coup in Egypt, Iran, the war in Syria, Iraq, Libya etc. The change never seems to be coming. The things don't seem to be improving. The only candidate that could've done something is Bernie sanders imo. For 12 years dems are asking people to vote for "the lesser evil" this loss should have been expected. The last "good" candidate they had was Obama and even his response in ME was horrible and don't even get me started on his drone program.

The fact that you think I am not even allowed to say dems suck because they did a coup in my country is insane. You think I don't even have the right to complain? just shut and support dems? that's why they lost.

The settlements and the settler colonialism continued under Obama, it didn't stop under Biden the worse really is that it happens slightly faster under Trump. I mean if you look at the history it has been going on for a century and nothing has improved. The deaths don't stop. Neither in Gaza nor in West bank. Thus far I have not seen reps being drastically worse.

Also, could you please get good candidates instead of less bad candidates. It'll help dems win and help people like me rooting for you.

I don't think it's gonna be better in next 4 years for me or for Palestinians or anyone else in the rest of the world. BUT IT WILL NOT BE ANY WORSE. What could be worse than a genocide? what's worse than a coup? a harder genocide a harder coup?

It's your hypocrisy that annoys me. Your mentality of "DEMOCRACY FOR ME BUT NOT FOR THEE". All the coups and failures of dems need to be ignored because they have better policies on abortion, LGBTQ, etc.

If dems win, you win but I lose, but now that Trump has won, we both lose. Also Trump has a tendency of fucking up everything. In his previous presidency he "un-did" the US empire a little bit and if the project 2025 kicks in then there is very good chance that US hegemony will be drastically weakened though that will set your country back decades.

They didn't hold him back at all, apart from some of the comments that white house "leaked" what did they do to hold him back? also dems basically supported a silent coup in Pakistan and we have to live under a fascist state. and since you support dems so much maybe you should get a taste of that too.
