  1. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/09/2020-homicide-spike-was-real/620183/ "But unlike the crime wave of the 1980s and ’90s, which affected many Americans of all walks of life, the current spike appears to be heavily concentrated. Many homicide victims are Black men, living in predominantly Black neighborhoods. Some conservatives are willing to cynically use violence in Chicago as a political talking point, but the solutions they propose are not solutions at all. Some liberals are wary of talking about the crime wave, for fear that it will undermine efforts to reform police and the criminal-justice system. Caught in the middle are places with rising violence, where residents want safe communities without abusive policing." https://www.vox.com/22580710/defund-the-police-reform-murder-spike-research-evidence "Last year, the US’s murder rate spiked by almost 30 percent. So far in 2021, murders are up nearly 10 percent in major cities. The 2020 increase alone is the largest percentage increase ever recorded in America — and a reversal from overall declines in murder rates since the 1990s."

  12. nope but my issue with hobbies etc. is often that i don't like to do stuff that i'm not good at which is dumb of course because most or everything you're not good at in the beginning and it often sucks until you get better i think it's some type of perfectionism
