It so thoroughly destroyed what made the book good that I couldn’t get through it. And it’s not like the book is some masterpiece of fiction, either. They just didn’t give a damn about it at all.

If you like time waster games, Pokémon Picross is awesome. Idk if you can get a cracked version without the f2p restrictions, if you can’t, idk if it’s super worth it, gets frustrating running out of energy all the time.
I still think they play best on the handheld systems, but it’s definitely cool that they’re available everywhere now.
It’s actually the (not late) Billy Corgan
You can browse Weibo from anywhere. I’m not certain about making accounts though, some of the Chinese sites I use require mainland China phone numbers, so I never even tried with Weibo.
Oh man the street food scene is awesome there! I went to this like, Korea town when I was there, and had so many delicious snacks, and it felt so nice just sitting on a stool right on a beautiful road eating delicious food and watching the world pass me by.
In China delivery is done by electric scooter mostly, and the prices can be even cheaper than going yourself.
I tend to prefer the view Huxley had of psychedelics in his ultimate novel, Island. Brave New World shows how psychedelics could be used for harm, and island how they could be harnessed for benefit. The book is starkly anti capitalist too.
psychedelics took away my revolutionary spirit and gave me false consciousness for a long time. I think they can be enjoyed as a tool for self reflection, surely, but their usefulness is vastly overstated, and the delusions it can give you can lead very easily down the crunchy right path.
I used to love Tim Leary, nowadays I tend to take the perspective of the Black Panthers when he went to Algeria with them, if you know what I mean.
Oh man, I forgot about different battery types. You’re probably right, my parents always got me the cheapest ones because I burned through them so quick anyway, at last until they got me the battery pack.
I pretty much had to give up shooting games in general as I got older, because it just felt so gross. There’s a few exceptions like Deep Rock Galactic, but even then I just don’t really enjoy my primary method of interaction with the world being shooting things anymore. It’s gauche, and I think my love of them earlier in life contributed to my anger issues and lib regression from a youth of radical organizing.
