IIRC N95s shaped like the Aura fit a larger variety of faces than rigid cup shaped ones like the one you posted. They’re also usually more comfortable. It might be worth it for you to try some other respirators if the ones you have are painful in some situations.
Aaron Collins (known as the mask nerd) is a great resource for in depth information on masks if you want to know more.
blaming her for going to a popular dentist
@ButtBidet@hexbear.net you stand accused of being a dental elitist, cruelly judging those who frequent popular dentists. How do you plead?
Obviously the problem isn’t the popularity of the dentist, the problem is the dentist not having any precautions in place and the appointment being in the middle of a large wave of infections.
“Hitler is basically the German Trump”
We know what has to be done
A lot of Iranians were profiting personally from the Shah’s corruption, and they and their descendants are extremely upset and will do anything to demonize Iran today. This is much more common in the diaspora than in those who stayed in Iran, for obvious reasons.
The lecturer said the revolution happened because people disliked the Shah having more than others, but she did not elaborate this in any way.
The revolution happened because the Shah was an imperialist dog ruining the lives of the people and his agents disappeared and murdered anyone who opposed this.
Now my understanding is that the social democratic movement there was destroyed by the West in the 50s and the following twenty+ years under the Shah led to a sort of pseudorevolution that wasn’t entirely progressive in nature. Is this correct or wrong?
As far as I know, your understanding is generally correct.
The CIA imposed the Shah on Iran, and when it was clear he was on the way out, the assisted the Ayatollahs. Both political systems were imposed on Iran by outside pressure - in the first case entirely, and in the second case only partly.
Edit: removed some text, had misread your comment.
“Israel is doing what the unions want.”
Yep that sounds like white western thinking to me!
Wrong, westerners would not say that native people of the places they colonize would go to heaven. 
Mfer was doing documentation for the F-35 😂
Objectively doing good for the world.
Don’t sell Alice short, she also has garbage takes.
WTYP literally can’t stop losing. How hard is it to vet your guests? Except they probably agree with this. :yea:
targeted at the wrong people
spec ops idiots thinking this was going to be like that one time they blew up a wedding in Afghanistan
Edit: also all the fascist Redditors hoping to help out their Azov heroes. The only ones in the bunch worth feeling bad for even a bit are the handful of idiots taken for a ride by the propaganda storm, and even then, they signed up for war.
Not sure if this is intended to start an SwCC struggle session… I’ll take the :bait: and say that America and China have very different material and historical contexts and so I don’t think comparing them in this way is likely to lead anywhere useful.
Western historians and just making shit up - name a better pair.
It also depends a lot on the shape and size of your face and head, so what works best for me might not work so well for you.

If you want to be more certain of the fit of your respirator, this video outlines in detail how to do a fit test using a solution made from commonly available saccharin sweeteners (make sure you use saccharin and not a different artificial sweetener, bitter fit testing solution can also easily be purchased online as an alternative).
The process itself isn’t too difficult, and the required equipment (a device to aerosolize the solution and a hood to concentrate it in the air around your head) is easy to find and inexpensive.
