Gamification is a hollow scheme that distracts us from the drudgery of work and endless self-improvement while constraining the human capacities it pretends to develop.

Intrigued by how all these “Sri lankan” girlfriends are all Sinhalese, cut across class lines in rather unrealistic ways, and uh seem to become kinkier as the days go by? Aspiring Sinhala buddhist patriarchal (neoliberal) nationalism all in one thread?

It's been 74 years & 5 months since we received independence from the British. Since that day, our country has been mainly ruled by three families. All of them were legally elected according to the constitution. Interesting, isn't it.

When we demand the right to memorialize victims of war time violations, we must not forget violations such as massacre of Muslims at Kurukkalmadam by LTTE, which are rarely spoken about or memorialized. Families’ right to know the whereabouts of remains is imp part of it.
