A conclusion of the Chair’s (false) argument is that appealing to the working class doesn’t win elections, therefore why should they be appeal to in the future

Not be a Freudian, but what was your experience with competition as a child?

This feels like something that has roots in how you were socialized with regard to competition.

Feelings don’t care about facts. We’ll still be blamed

Gonna have to dilly dally even harder if I’m gonna be late for my engagements

The clocks are going back an hour, not forward. If anything you’re gonna be early.

I don’t know enough Chinese to comment, but the difference between a sling and slingshot isn’t about size or use. The difference between sling and slingshot is what propels the projectile.

A sling extends the length of the user’s throwing arm, giving the projectile more power.

A slingshot uses elastic to propel the projectile. Therefore, as elastic didn’t exist for most of history, is a modern invention.

Maybe SCMP’s error is rooted in Chinese language but I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t since this is a common error of all English speakers. I’d guess people commonly confuse them in English because of similar names and because both tools have a pouch which holds the projectile.

Too bad they won’t ban remote learning charters.

Situation seems bad and escalating

(Also, SCMP mislabels a sling as a slingshot. Disappointing. I like slings.)
