Some of them are there because of the poverty draft. Not an excuse, but the perceived stability the military offers is a real factor.

Agreed. And as long as we are still cursed with western dominated capitalism, this will continue to be the way. Hopefully for not much longer.

Nice! “Iran’s drones hit USS Abraham Lincoln near Strait of Hormuz”, forcing it to retreat. https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/iran-s-drones-hit-uss-abraham-lincoln-near-strait-of-hormuz

The US isn’t copying it. We were founded on it.

Holy shit! “IRGC says Netanyahu’s fate unknown after striking his office”. https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/irgc-says-netanyahu-s-fate-unknown-after-striking-his-office

Iranian FM Araghchi confirmed to NBC News that Sayyed Ali Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian are safe. https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/araghchi--sayyed-khamenei--president-pezeshkian-are-safe

Glad you said it. Sick of that bullshit excuse.

This can be generalized, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”

People who finish quickly are most likely from privileged backgrounds and don’t have to work. The only plus side of my working during college was that I had a long bus trip when I could read. But I still pushed myself, failed a semester, and ended up graduating in 5 years anyway.

We all need to take time for ourselves to rest, recharge, and have fun. Hustle culture is toxic.

Why can’t you take an extra semester or two even? Any institutional or financial barriers to that? If not, don’t push past your limits. Nothing but burnout comes from that.

Well shit…hypersonics to the carriers it is, then

I hope their rust bucket navy sinks to the bottom of the ocean all on its own.

Hmm, did you install it with Google Play? Maybe try one of the alternative sources here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/jerboa

What version are you on? I’m on the latest and don’t get this error.

I’m using Obtanium to get the latest, FWIW.
