Because you guys keep making decisions that affect the entire planet, then act surprised when the rest of the planet has an opinion.

现在东亚的这种环境，堪比养蛊 要应对的方法，只有一个那就是无聊一点，迷失一点 2025年12月5日，法国总统马克龙在四川大学登台演讲，除了那些比较官方的话，最后个人随感部分让人还是蛮有感触的，他是这么说的 “事实上，如果可以的话，除了我刚才讲的合作精神和共同倡议之外，我个人深有感触的是，这对我们这代人而言，或许已经成为现实，对你们来说，我已经很老了，但对你们这一代，我的建议是：无聊一点，迷失一点。 因为你们正处在一个为效率、结果、速度所导致的世界，以至于什么也留不下来，对什么也不能产生深刻印象。让我印象最深刻的词语都是我在字典中迷失方向时学到的，我想你们不再会翻开纸质字典了，你们会在社交媒体上查词。因为在纸质字典中，我们会迷失在书页之间，这和去另一个国家旅行一样，我们会在街头迷路，然后我们会听由偶然，这是一种幸运。 因此如果要我真给你们这代人一个建议，给这代正承受着‘结果、效率和即时性的巨大压力’的人一个建议，就是‘无聊一点，迷失一点’，因为你们会发现，这将成为你们的幸运，我很认真地跟你们说。” 马克龙的意思是说，这样的生活并没有留下个体生命丰富的意义，生活缺乏意义，尽管每天都忙得要死。 他或许还想说，你们年轻人，不必过于在意象征着所谓现代性的功利价值，不要过于注重一个人的外部标签，不要太卷了。 这是接近私人化的表达，他没有说同学们要胸怀大志，或者就像儒家说的”学以成人”，或者国家兴亡与匹夫之间的密切关系之类，而是说，大家没必要这样 世界是平庸的，平庸的标志在于一切以成败作为标准 这一代就是承受高速发展代价，缓冲的一代，但是你们做不了什么，这是时代的必然，所以好好活着，不要想那么多 这段话是对给正承受结果、效率、即时性巨大压力的一代人的建议 鼓励人们不要害怕慢下来，不要急于找答案，适当无聊、迷失，允许自己浪费时间、迷茫，多沉浸在美好的风景中并休息一会，因为这会成为自身的幸运。 其实就是隐晦的告诉我们，这个时代没什么机会了，大家都在苟着，能苟就苟 本质上和张朝阳劝年轻人不要负债一样 躺平不用羞耻，活着就是胜利 马克龙，法国人 在法兰西人的哲学中大多充斥着对人生苦短的见解，迷茫与痛苦时常牵绊人生，人都说巴黎浪漫，但那只是华而不实的表象，法国的文学实际接触一下就不难发现痛苦和悲剧是人生的主旋律，雨果的《巴黎圣母院》或是《悲惨世界》无不透露着人生的无力感，大仲马《基督山伯爵》虽为复仇类文学的典范，但依然充斥着唐泰斯前半生颠沛流离的命途多舛。 但是叔本华有一句“人生摇荡如钟摆，于痛苦和无聊间徘徊” 实际贯彻人生体验的也恰如其分 也许你正在追寻某样东西，也许是谋求学业上的进展，也许是事业上的突破，或者是追求身体素质的进一步提升，或许你正焦虑于未来一年或者两年后的一场关键性的考试，不要过于苛责自己，这里指的是不是让你消极对待，而是不要对自己在这个努力期间的某一天的懈怠而感到自责 真正的坚持是忘记昨天的懈怠，转而走向长期的坚持。 人只有在即将死亡的时候才能够明白这一切人生其实就是一场骗局，最主要的任务根本不是买房买车，也不是即时行乐，这其实是欲望，不是真相。 人生就是一个梦，虚无缥缈并不真实。我们不要给自己那么多的使命感和过剩的责任感，在这个世界上，活着的我们和一只蚂蚁，一只昆虫，一只蚊子，一只甲壳虫，没有任何区别。当你走到了生命的尾声，就会明白，我们追求的一切都恍若云烟，功名利禄终将变为尘土，恩怨情仇也终将随风飘散，我们在这个世间最真实的需要，不过就是内心的感受而已。 我们最根本的任务不是买房买车，不是让别人羡慕，也不是过的一定要比别人好，而是可以按照自己喜欢的方式度过一生。请记住你透支健康换来的优秀，不过是人事档案里随时可替换的几行宋体字。而单位的运转齿轮从未因此停滞半分。人生不是用红头文件丈量的，而是用看见花开、听见雨声的瞬间拼凑的。毕竟，你熬的夜、拼的命、流的泪，最后都成了档案袋里轻飘飘白A4纸，而你错过的晚霞、失约的晚餐、没牵到的手，才是永远无法补录的人生 一切有为法，如梦幻泡影，如露亦如电，应作如是观；致虚极，守静笃，万物并作，吾以观其复，花有重开日，人无再少年

都上X了，还有那么多SB舔华为的车，客观公正的思辨能力都做不到，来X就知道捣管射的都是脑浆？

I'm genuinely curious. From the outside, Britain always seems to be making the “right” political and foreign policy decisions. So why does life for ordinary people seem to have gotten worse and worse since the pandemic? No disrespect intended. I'm genuinely trying to understand how a developed country like the UK ended up in this situation.

I hope everyone realizes that they, too, have the ability to create love. Loving someone should mean: “I’m already happy with who I am, but I like you, and I want to share the love I have to give with you.” Not: “I love you so much that I’m willing to empty myself completely for you.” That kind of love can make you lose yourself, until there’s nothing left of you. I hope every day brings you a little happiness. Eat well, take good care of yourself, and remember to be kind to yourself. Sending you a big hug. 🫂❤️

No price is too high to pay. No betrayal is small enough to forgive.

My French friend, I think this is a much more complicated question than it appears. First, let's talk about those who have benefited the most from China's economic rise. Some may be government officials or their relatives. Others may be businessmen who made fortunes during the economic boom of the past two decades. Not all of them necessarily made their money through entirely legitimate or respectable means, and some may worry that their past could eventually catch up with them. One major concern with China's political system is uncertainty, particularly when it comes to the consistency and predictability of government policies. I suspect this is also one of the reasons why some foreign investors have been pulling capital out of China in recent years. For people who have accumulated substantial wealth but feel uncertain about the future, moving themselves and their assets abroad can seem like the safest option. Then there's the working class, especially skilled tradespeople. And please don't misunderstand me. I have enormous respect for blue-collar workers. But the reality is that in China, many of these workers receive relatively low wages and limited social recognition, despite possessing valuable technical skills. For them, developed Western countries can offer something China often struggles to provide: stronger social safety nets, higher minimum wages, and better protection for workers. China actually has fairly comprehensive labor laws on paper. The problem is enforcement. From what I've observed, enforcement can be inconsistent. Foreign companies may face strict scrutiny, while some domestic employers can get away with practices that undermine workers' rights. Unpaid overtime, six- or seven-day working weeks, low wages, layoffs without proper compensation... These are familiar problems for many Chinese workers. And even when the law is on their side, fighting an employer for compensation they're legally entitled to can become an exhausting and time-consuming process. But perhaps the most awkward position belongs to China's middle class. On one hand, they benefit enormously from China's relatively cheap labor. Food delivery is fast and inexpensive. Home repairs are affordable. Taking a taxi or ordering almost any service is incredibly convenient. Move to Europe or North America, and suddenly many of the things you used to pay someone else to do become your own responsibility. On the other hand, many middle-class Chinese professionals struggle to find jobs abroad that offer the same income or professional status they enjoyed at home. Their skills, qualifications, and professional networks don't always translate into the same advantages in an international labor market. So they face a rather uncomfortable trade-off. Stay in China, and enjoy a familiar environment, convenient services, and perhaps a better professional position, but deal with the pressures and uncertainties of life there. Leave China, and potentially gain better social protections, a different lifestyle, or more personal freedom, but risk losing part of the financial comfort and professional status they once had. That's why I don't think there's a single answer to why Chinese people emigrate. For the wealthy, it may be about protecting their assets. For workers, it may be about earning a decent living and being treated fairly. For the middle class, it may be a much harder choice between two different kinds of security. And sometimes, people simply want to live somewhere else. A country's economic success doesn't mean everyone benefits equally from it, or that everyone wants the same kind of life.

I just came up with an interesting concept for a story. Ability: [Instant Kill] Choose a person. They die instantly. [The Price 1: Someone Else's Memory] You inherit one memory from the person you kill — the memory they treasured most in their entire life. [The Price 2: Amnesia] Every time you kill someone, you lose one memory of your own. The Question: If I killed every human being on Earth, but preserved each person's most precious memory within myself... Could that, in some twisted way, still be considered a form of love for humanity?

📍 Dhaka, Bangladesh 🇧🇩 Glass buildings above, rickshaw drivers struggling to make a living below. Tangled electrical wires, crowded streets, low incomes, and infrastructure still struggling to keep up. The gap between rich and poor is hard to ignore. And yes, Bangladesh is also a parliamentary democracy with multiparty elections. Democracy gives people a voice in choosing their government. But elections alone don't guarantee prosperity, decent wages, or functioning infrastructure.

Once two straight lines intersect, they are destined to drift further and further apart. The curve of an inverse function can approach the coordinate axes infinitely closely, yet never touch them. These are mathematical truths. But love doesn't have to follow the laws of mathematics.

Some people spend their whole lives pretending to be someone else just to be accepted. Then they see someone being themselves without giving a damn, and somehow they take it personally.

Why do people who used to play video games for five hours a day suddenly lose interest in gaming once they’re past their twenties? I think most longtime gamers who were once genuinely addicted to gaming will understand this. When people talk about suddenly “breaking up with video games,” it’s not because we’ve “grown up,” “gotten busy,” or “become more mature.” Those are just comforting excuses we tell ourselves. The problem is the gaming industry. We haven’t lost interest in video games. We’ve lost patience with mediocrity. It’s not that we don’t love gaming anymore. Games just don’t hit the same. And the biggest reason? Our standards have gone up. Remember what gaming was like when we were kids? We had crappy computers that could barely run anything. Games ran like PowerPoint slideshows. Characters clipped through walls and each other like something out of a horror movie. And somehow, even those technical disasters became part of the fun. We’d lie in bed at night, remember some ridiculous glitch, and laugh to ourselves for ages. Why? Because back then, we hadn’t seen anything yet. Every frame felt new. Every game mechanic was a surprise. Our threshold for excitement was practically zero. Anything remotely interesting felt like a critical hit. But what happens after ten or fifteen years of gaming? You’ve grinded through RPGs, fought your way through FPS games, explored open worlds, died thousands of times in roguelikes, and dodge-rolled your way through countless Souls games. We’ve accumulated so much gaming experience that we’ve practically maxed out the skill tree. To what extent? You launch a new game, take one look at the UI, glance at the skill tree, and you already know what the next fifty hours are going to feel like. I know a lot of people hate it when someone judges or reviews a game without even playing it. But seriously, so many new releases are absolute piles of crap. Why the hell should I be excited about eating a pile of shit just because someone tossed a little butter cookie into it? Maybe that sounds arrogant. But the problem is, our tastes have been refined to a point where anything below a certain standard becomes almost physically unbearable. It’s the same with movies and TV shows. The more you’ve watched, the higher your standards become. Eventually, you don’t even have the desire to waste time finding out whether something mediocre is actually as bad as it looks. Years ago, I might have given a terrible movie two hours of my life. Now? I watch a few minutes and turn it off. I call this “the curse of discernment.” Once you’ve experienced something truly great, you can never quite go back.

Humans often say to the little animals they rescue, “Make a sound or two, and I’ll take you home.” But what if fate is whispering to us, too? “Get up, human. Get up, and I’ll take you away.”

A new trolley problem just dropped.

If you’re depressed, you’re living in the past. If you’re anxious, you’re living in the future. Only when you’re at peace are you truly living in the present.

抑郁久了的人也会害怕幸福的。怕幸福不够，抚平不了自己经历过的痛苦。又怕幸福太多，自己不配。
