Tell your pal I say thank you for his service.

I don't expect working class solidarity from the people at the imperial core while they are still benefactors from my oppression, even if it is indirectly. They should already know that their luxuries are in great part a product of our exploitation and if they are ignorant about it it is not my fault, fuck them. The day I see them organized and giving substantial help to our struggles in the global south I might change my mind. They are not willing to give up their privileges in order to enact real and concrete international solidarity.

"Workers of the world unite" is a nice phrase, but call me when there are any American blue/white collar workers organized with Congolese cobalt miners or Mexican factory workers.

The same amount of money that can feed a Global South worker for a month is spent in a weekend to buy useless shit for fun by an average American/Western-European worker, the latter is not prepared to renounce to their treats. Maybe one day they won't be able to afford them anymore... I wanna see how they will react.

So true. I used to have an old friend, more than 15 years talking to each other for hours several times per week. I like to say we kind of grew together, we had a lot of interests in common and shared many personal things. One day this person ghosted me (I suspect they had mental issues related to paranoia) and I never saw them again. We are from different countries so I could never see them in person.

When someone you met through the internet has so much prevalence in your daily life and suddenly they disappear, it leaves you with a very similar feeling to that of mourning the loss of a death friend.

Internet connections might have their advantages but they are quite limited at the same time.

Concerta and other extended release formulations are hard to "abuse"(damn I hate that word in the context of drugs). Normal pills of methylphenidate on the other hand can be crushed and snorted, but the effect is shit and the comedown is worse than coke's. Not saying that there aren't any MPH addicts, but come on... Get a cool drug to ruin your life!

Same thing happened to me when I recommended it. I guess it was because of the rough scenes, the planet doesn't forgive you at all, one misstep and you are done! It made some people I know uncomfortable, they were expecting something a bit more relaxed.

I loved Scavenger's Reign, I still have to watch Primal, though. Thank you!

I just watched the first episode of The Maxx minutes ago. WOW! Do you have any more recommendations for shows like The Maxx and Aeon Flux?
