For the record, I'm not saying I agree with their methods, but I don't think it's fair to them either that everyone is acting like they did irreparable harm to the monument.

“The orange cornflour we used to create an eye-catching spectacle will soon wash away with the rain..."

Alien hand syndrome makes me believe this. Usually occurs when something traumatic happens to the brain. The way it's described seems like the dominant consciousness losing control of that motor function to the lesser consciousness.

"say Chinese state media and commentators."

No bias to be seen here

What I mean is don't listen to anyone who says "polls show". Polls have been weaponized by every media outlet to back up whatever story they're trying to relay.

Polls are only good for political strategists and only for forming actionable strategies. They don't capture true popular feelings about any subjects and completely eliminate room for subtleties and nuance in the debate.

For example, why is she polling lower than Biden? Could it be because the VP role is traditionally one of someone who works in the background, so the general public has very little reason to think about her too often? How many times is she mentioned in headlines (successes or failures) compared to Biden and Trump? Who was polled and who did the polling - was there any accountability for bias one way or the other?

Take all polls with a huge grain of salt.

Discipline

EDIT: I wasn't trying to insult anyone with a one word reply, but OP was describing discipline, "to train or develop by instruction and exercise especially in self-control"

Motivation is nice, but the biggest difference between a published author and an unpublished one is that the published author sat down and wrote something.

This is a great real life example of discipline. The published author has disciplined themselves to sit down and write, even when they don't feel motivated to.

Thanks for clarifying.

Electric cars need competitive racing like F1 and NASCAR. There needs to be a culture built around the power of electric vehicles to get the muscle car culture to switch. Make electric cars "cool".

Has anyone played it? I looked at it on steam and the VA seemed subpar. Is the story really so good so you should go in completely blind?
