"fear and conspiracy and hatred of the other could be used to drive and win political races, And those are exactly the same things that in high doses drove unhealthy portions of firearm sales."
"the gun makers and the NRA have since embraced military-style weapons and tactical gear, branding them as symbols of masculinity and patriotism."
___That's really disillusioned. If the companies and organizations in power just focus on their interest, what can we expect to change the status?

Ryan Busse:" I did my best to try to change the things I can change. Something I didn't see coming, perhaps, was the degree to which the industry grew and changed into this behemoth."
"I was deluding myself to think that I could have a measurable impact on something that had grown that large and powerful."
"It's often reported that the NRA is sort of a tool of firearms manufacturers. I found it to be exactly the opposite: The NRA ran the show. They set the course for the industry and everybody followed, and nobody questioned."
"The NRA ended up in what is now a rather infamous approach where they ended up doubling down instead of giving in. I believe the politics of never give an inch, never acknowledge any improvement or work towards any improving policy, really started then."____it's hard to fight, let alone to win. Then what we can do is to speak up again and again, until the day that they'll give in.
"it was really an opportune time to shut that loophole and still today, more than 20 years later, we have not shut that loophole."____need to push forward unswervingly.

"soon after each mass shooting until just the last couple of years ... there would be incredible gun booms."
"the same fear was used that guns would be banned or that there would be legislative activity that would make it more difficult to get guns, so everybody would rush out and buy them after these events."
"Everything that happened was then spun in some fearful, conspiratorial, racial, just hate-filled way. Everything was spun that way, because every word that came out had to keep ... this sort of political pressure cooker. The way that the NRA figured out that it could succeed is to get the country just one step below boiling and just try to hold it there."
____they won't miss any chance to sell the gun, but what about the responsibility? they don't think that's their business.

樣本太少了，所以置信空間比較大。不過係可以證實戴口罩的確對預防得病有比較大嘅作用，減少咗53%，都支持返一年前嘅實驗——嗰次之後大家先發現原來戴口罩嘅防護作用都好大

at last! it was really stupid to have it that way.

因為清零政策，而且工廠唔想停，所以就會變成宿舍、飯堂同工廠喺一齊，so called “three-on-site”. 而另一方面，有啲人都受影響，不過係住五星級酒店；呢個真係幾現實，稀缺的先係最被重視的
而家放棄清零，感覺大家都已經覺得呢條路行唔通，成日有變種（呢幾日又出咗個Omicron，實在難頂），要封鎖到幾時呢？

“This wasn’t ‘forced labor’ in the sense of workers being physically bundled into tents, or finding themselves in debt bondage and therefore coerced into the situation,” said Joe Buckley, an expert on Vietnamese labor issues. “But on another level, all labor is forced labor, as workers need to sell their labor power in order to get money to survive. This is what we saw in Vietnam — the coercion was economic and structural, leaving many workers with little choice.”
無論如何，要揾錢嘅話，好多時候就真係冇得揀

"However these three unknowns play out this winter, COVID will eventually begin to fade as a disruptive force in our lives as it becomes endemic. We’re not quite there yet, but our second pandemic winter will bring us one step closer."

聯想到最近睇嘅《瘟疫與人》，的確未知呢個傳染病會變異成點，不過可以預見嘅係會最終變作地方病，同人類共存

不過而家嘅情況唔係幾樂觀，新變種嘅出現，加咗好多未知數，歐洲已經再次開始加緊應對措施

有勇氣好重要，「三军可夺帅也，匹夫不可夺志」
而且都好好彩，可以善終

「不是我們沒有自制力，而是在手遊背後，有上百人努力瓦解你的自制力。」

一言驚醒夢中人嘅感覺，所以致癮係正常嘅，所以，在意識到之後要點算呢？

除咗文中講到嘅方法，我覺得仲有一個好重要嘅point，就係點樣堅持到？我嘅做法係，將佢當作今日嘅小目標：今日我唔做\要做，一日一日噉去完成，一段時間之後自己就堅持到了

「語言本來就是關於另一種文化的。如果按照目前的出版策略，孩子們要如何學習到另一種文化呢？」反正都係追求實用，所以唔識都唔會有乜問題，況且，真係會交流文學、習俗、歷史呢啲嘢？我睇到嘅大多數都係繼續羣返自己人，根本唔會點交流

「在美國，如果你要一個小學生學習線性代數，這個小孩會對你說，不好意思，我為什麼要學？你得說服這小孩，學習這個東西背後是有一原因的。它必須有現實意義。我們學習不是為了通過考試或者學習本身。」呢個就係內卷嘅悲哀所在，大家為咗一樣唔知有乜用嘅嘢互相競爭，失去咗好多可能性同個性

都睇到審查制度嘅毒害，寫教材都會自我審查咗先，唔可以有十字架、聖經，講少啲外國嘅嘢，唔好掂近代史；無可厚非，邊個都唔想幾百萬落去結果出唔到書，只係擔憂而家嘅細路仲識幾多嘢呢

shocked!癌細胞可以將免疫細胞嘅線粒體偷過來！

希望呢個發現對人類攻克癌症問題有極大幫助

難得，難得；入邊嘅一啲觀點有啓發到我

關於中立，又摷到呢張圖出嚟；喺不公面前（呢個係條件），所謂嘅「中立」，一係既得利益，一係幫兇

關於客觀與理性嗰度比較有意思
