See one of the things I immediately noticed in Ontario was how racially diverse it was, even in the more rural areas I passed through, at least compared to the practically segregated area I’m from
To Die For The People has quite a bit about the revolutionary role of lumpen
If you don’t want a book, here’s his page on marxists.org:

Oh I see what you mean. Like I’m addition to NEET people having value in terms of labor that’s not traditionally compensated, consumption itself is valuable even though it’s hijacked under capitalism
Yeah I don’t mean to imply anything about your parents in general. It’s still them treating you a certain way, whether they’re malicious about it or not. I don’t wanna keep trying to troubleshoot your situation if you’re just venting though. Regardless, I hope you find a way to stay safe, comrade.
In a way that might be more relevant to the communist project, someone who has the time and know-how to monitor social media for long periods of time can be invaluable in emergency situations where people are checking in and posting about conditions online, but no assistance has arrived yet. If you have a team of people who know how to do some impromptu emergency-time first responder shit, having a NEET or two to step in and help coordinate can make a huge difference. And that’s just one example
Jeez that’s shit. Pretty sure you either have squatters’ rights or some sort of protections if they claim you as a dependent, but I know that doesn’t help it feel better to be treated that way by your family
I’ve known for over a decade that the US was not the greatest country in the world. Applying that to actual living conditions has remained entirely abstract until now. Fuck
I like to think that every US dollar has been manually dirtied up by a money launderer at least once
Like “you need to find a place soon” kicking out or “you no longer live here after the 1st” kicking out?
This is the true meaning of “family first”. It’s half the reason I started my career over kinda late. Better late than never though, 100%. I’m so much happier
Wish my family was functional enough to make this livable
“Meanwhile, back at the ranch” is a cornerstone of cinema. I think cliffhangers can be done well, but when they are they generally don’t draw attention to themselves as such. In horror movies in particular, cutting just before action and leaving the end of an interaction up to the imagination of the viewer can be very powerful. But yeah it’s frustrating when done badly.
I’ve heard they are indeed similar, including sharing a lot of the same issues. I haven’t spent enough time in NYC to comment
Fuuuuck that would have made way too much sense. I’m not used to that being an option
After a lifetime of syphilis I’ll take cholera. Or maybe I just need to travel more
From what I understand, if you make it able to roll back transactions, less distributed, and not public, it’s fundamentally not a blockchain and therefore not cryptocurrency. Just… currency. Although if you wanna talk about a global federation of states operating a mutual currency I suppose there might be something to that
Still better than where I live (except parking holy shit)
How do you find it?
Just from having driven a car in Toronto and having to share the road with cyclists and see all the bullshit they put up with I’m not sure I could handle cycling there. I’m used to cycling on roads where the cars are all going 55mph but they’re sparse enough that they’ll go into the next lane to give a cyclist some room. So having to stop because someone just rushed out of an intersection or driveway isn’t a thing for. I would for sure ram straight into someone’s door
