hate crimes reached their highest level in 12 years last year. The report came about because

Congress requires that the FBI collect the data from reports submitted by local law enforcement.

This data is really striking. Increases are driven primarily by attacks on Asian

participated and very large localities also reported no hate crimes in 2020, which is kind of weird.

People say this results in an incomplete picture of the true scope of the hate-based crimes

happening in America. The report includes fewer incisive hate-based crimes than groups monitoring

anti-Asian and anti-Semitic attacks collected. This is all to say that the FBI report states

that things are as bad as they've ever been for more than a decade, but actually they're probably

even worse than that. China has banned children from playing video games for more than three

hours a week, calling the hobby a spiritual opium, quote, damn, I need to play more video games.

Not only are people are there 18 banned from playing video games for more than three hours a week,

but they can only play on weekends and holidays. Weak day play has banned entirely.

The government is worried that young people are becoming addicted to the past time.

As a person who lives at the 32-year-old man, I can confirm that if that nation wants people to

develop more productive past times than video games, they're going to have to extend this a few decades.
