The US has some of the best opportunities for education, but they still somehow choose to ignore them

post this on Facebook and say it's the US airforce general staff. Rioters will have burned DC to the ground by sundown.

pro tip is to leave a bunch of papers in your car with your protest slogan on it and then go [redact] some low level politicians

FWIW we likely wont know what was hit (and for good reason) but the lack of radiation leaking from any of the sites is a good sign. The damage seems mainly to be to leadership, which will hurt Iran's efforts but nuclear industries are built on the science and labour of thousands if not millions of people - the assassinations are just to instill terror into the political class of Iran

On a side note, is there much info on the dress code in Iran? From what I can see, it's mainly about covering your legs from the ankles up, covering arms from the elbows up, and covering the top of your head if you're a woman. And even then I imagine foreigners get less hassle.

Like, all of the pictures of Iranian women in Chabod (the typically-black head-to-toe covering) is purely exploiting for propaganda purposes the women who congregate in their choice of clothing.

Those women have more autonomy over their appearance and modesty than a lot of women do in the west. We may not have formal religious or moral police, but instead we have at least a third of society who harass, assault, and ---- women deemed "not modest enough". We have recreated modesty police culturally yet talk of liberating women into our own fucked up systems of misogyny.

It's my favourite Gramsci quote if not the most harrowing.

Jordan is a comprador state. Last year, they made the family of a soldier who went lone wolf against an IDF patrol on the border apologise to the fucking king.

I'd agree if these countries weren't putting their entire command and control networks in urban highrises despite being under threat of a massive military strike the whole week prior. If Iran wants to play the "our plans are measured in centuries" schtick they need to get better opsec than whatever transpired last night.

Exactly. Take it easy but take it 🤜🤛

Yeah it takes a lot of skilled labour to assemble vehicles over just importing them. Opens the door to localising production of components too, in a much more granular and manageable fashion for a country that has limited resources to invest at once.

With the escalation in Gaza and West Bank on top of the incident I'm going to limit how much I spend on telegram, lemmy, etc. because I can get massively hyperfocussed on this shit. Feels a lot like when the Ukraine Russia war heated up and I was stuck to my phone 8 hours a day.

I'm lucky enough to have started my meds recently which are absolutely eviscerating my anxiety, but others aren't so lucky.

Maybe delete a couple of apps and limit your exposure for a couple of days so even if you DO doomscroll it's less paralysing.

I'm starting Elvanse (Lisdexamfetmine) soon, and I was wondering how some people here prefer to take it? Like, do you do every day or do you take days off?

I know there's not a massive withdrawal from it like the SNRIs I take atm but I wonder if some folks prefer to have days off for whatever reason.

Japan is trying to catch up to AmeriKKKa for the title of redditor republic it seems

EDIT: okay maybe theyre onto something

Yeah, it was the cached dependencies, how did you guess?

ACAB forever. AmeriKKKan pigs might shoot you and laugh about it, but Brit cops will gangstalk you, shoot you, then lie through their teeth for no reason than to prove they can do it.

To the shame of the socialist movement, we have allowed “socialists” to join our ranks who do not care for the working class, who are obsessed with our transgender comrades, who seek to warp us into being oppressors, not liberators.

These “comrades” are easily spotted, often existing solely on the internet and in internal party meetings, never seen on pickets or in the community.

Again, we say look at America, the anti-trans movement there has led to oppression against all women.

Will our “comrades” hang their heads in shame as Britain takes the same path? Or will they continue to pathetically parrot anti-Marxist and transphobic lines?

I'm getting an ADHD assessment soon and I've been sent a blood pressure monitor. I did a test just now and it came up 144/97 which is apparently high (stage 1 or 2 hypertension depending on the diagram you check).

I was caffeinated at the time so I'm gonna try tomorrow but I'm curious what my target mmHg should be for when I'm making changes to my health.

Side note but if I'm regularly getting to stage 2 hypertension to barely keep focus at work and crash shortly after then maybe that's a good example of why unmedicated ADHD lowers your life expectancy

Dan Norris MP was one of many political enemies to the Corbyn-led Labour party, during 2018 "speaking out" against alleged antisemitism of the Palestine-advocate and courgette farmer.

I ask this because whilst *arr apps supposedly import downloaded torrents to their respective media folders, my downloads folder for qbittorrent is over 200GB in size when I've got zero incomplete downloads.

Have I set something up wrong? Or is it setting some kind of hard link between the downloads and media folder?

Is there anyhwhere that has any kind of benchmark for different hardware when hosting minecraft servers? I'm considering migrating to my homelab from a sparkedhost instance but I dont know if it'll be worth potentially worse performance (Ryzen 7000-series x3 vCPUs versus my i5 9500 running concurrent services)
