Razer’s Zephyr mask lands them in regulatory hot water | TechCrunch Minute
Gaming gear company, Razer, is under scrutiny after falsely claiming their Zephyr face mask had an N95 grade. Why is a company mostly known for glowing keyboards making a high tech mask?

I notice a need to control through religion, beliefs, education, information, fear. Is understanding what ‘you’ know tantamount to physical wealth? Ignore other possibilities. Blame continuously

The west should not waste any more time and money on this. We need to educate and take care of our own people. Vets are committing suicide daily. Nothing against this woman but we tried and failed to help that country.

Hypocrisy is profoundly used by the western governments. Killing and removing Head’s covering of Muslim women in France, then asking now for education in Afghanistan. You (U.S and Europe) are the reason of misery not the solution.

December 4, 2021 at 2:03 pm
Because it’s not the religion. They are just using it since it’s the only thing that unites the tribes over there. Without it, there would be more divisions among them.

The taliban were never gone. I dont mean to sound like the downer here but im a realist. The reason the taliban are back amd not the US or nato back government is because the taliban had local rural support and werent corrupt like the Us and nato back government pr the puppet regime they installed same mistake the US made in Vietnam and seemed to not learn you cant rig someone to win when they have no support of the people. Its not wonder the people Afghanistan literally welcomed the taliban without putting up a fight because theyre the afghan people theyre the mujahideen fighting against the non islamic imperial forces trying to change there culture. I know you may not agree with it but again it doesn’t matter as an outsider your opinion is useless. We are not colonial powers anymore (i hope we dont go back to those days) we can go in guns ablazing and try to coerce others to be like us and think like us that is very much imperialism and im sure if any of your nations were invaded by a foreign power you would resist them trying to impose there values on you. Its natural to resist. Its about looking at the whole picture amd seeing the world not as black or white of course us westerners think we’re right and have high morals. The taliban think that as well both sides of amy conflict think theyre right ,morality is subjective. Also she is clearly not from the vast rural society she is from the city funny how they never address the rural people who mostly supported the taliban.. again you have to look at the whole picture. This talk about educating girls and all this nonsense is a cop out. Btw all the funds that were supposed to be used to build girls schools were quite coincidentally finding there ways in the pockets of politicians and not being invested in schools for girls. Loke wtf is she talking about i have to wonder has she eve been to Afghanistan. Ive seen this crappy schools and the crappy teachers they hire . These teachers are mainly illiterate!!!!!!

I don’t what she is talking about ? Dust what ? Western countries have given billion billions dollars to warlord Corrupted governments and didn’t build a secure school for girls they didn’t provide Secuirty for the women to work to go to school women . Women were used sexually in every field .women can’t stand alone on the road . Today there is no one to misbehave with women because of Taliban . Villages were boomed did you tell about those women ? School were bombed Religious school were boomed Clinics were boomed . There are women which they lost their loved one they have children and no one is there is help why don’t tell them that their government helped the wrong people in our country . Today Taliban are saying Gave us some time to provide all Facilities and then we allow the girls to go to school and work and do their business . Mazar e sharif women working in shops under the role of Taliban say something about that .

This is the most inspiration thing that I would ever hear :
-When you face the uncertainty of what might be,you can turn it into of the certainty of what will be,you will find yourself in something new and different , adapting and succeeding.
And sometimes , you will know that you have left a light on to help you find your way home .

Paying to have a good name.
In Sweden, we have licensed costume-clad thieves who get involved in politics and have debt collection, claims, parking companies to loot the people. They create frustration to get into people’s wallets. They come up with new rules and systems just to confuse and spread stress and to kill joy among the people to lead people to suicide. Joy and security have no place in the country, it is materials and money that everyone must think about and they use as bait. That’s why we have the most suicidal people in the world. Such sick psychologists, racist politicians and administrative workers we have here that do not exist even in the world’s most corrupt countries.

Within deep narrative, why this woman is trying to convey that Talibans is not allowing girls to study, despite of the references which whole world is seeing, in the form of university pictures, where there are girls equal to boys. I can’t say anything on Talibans’ last rule but for now they are allowing every single girl to study in the limitations of Islam, which are also for male muslims in some other ways according to their gender needs.
