  • Full Monologue – Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy

    There’s no feeling more intense than starting over.

    If you’ve deleted your homework the day before it was due, as I have. Or if you left your wallet at home and you have to go back after spending an hour in the commute. If you won some money at the casino and then put all your winnings on red and it came up black. If you got your best shirt drycleaned before a wedding and then immediately dropped food on it. If you won an argument with a friend and then later discovered that they just returned to the original view.

    Starting over is harder than starting up. If you’re not ready for that, like if you’ve already had a bad day, then what you’re about to go through might be too much. Feel free to go away and come back. I’ll be here.

  • Cover Version of “Russians” by Sting 《Russians》翻唱

    这首歌出现于USAP 2021 Literature – Short Works – Poems & Songs板块。

    第一次听就感受到冷战阴冷的氛围，以及在美苏间无处不在的威胁、猜忌与怀疑。斯汀是美国公民，但他并非单纯站队，而是对两方阵营都抱有“不信任”与对种种决策的质疑（Mr. Khrushchev … Mr. Reagan … I don’t subscribe this point of view）。亦通过“我们同样生而为人”（We share the same biology），让双方民众产生共鸣，呼吁和平。

    This article seems to create an atmosphere of terror and amplify the impacts that the flood had on Zhengzhou. A few paragraphs have been deleted in order to make it appear more neutral and objective. 该文章试图营造一种恐怖气氛并过度夸大洪水对郑州的影响。为使其看起来更中立和客观，部分段落已被删除。
