#DeleteFacebook's major beneficiary is Mastodon, a Twitter-like social network application. The sign-ups of Mastadon spike in this week. Many choose Mastadon because it's a distributed and decentralized application unlike Facebook in which user's data are controlled by Facebook's cooperate executives. Mastodon is open-sourced, and everyone can inspect its code. People may think it's much safer to use Mastadon than Facebook.
I also have a Facebook account, but I won't delete it because I rarely use it. It's not popular in China because it's blocked by our government. Ahahaha...
Mayberg's patients "are aware I have not given them anything but have removed something that was bothering them," Mayberg said. "It's not my job as a neurologist to make people happy. I liberate my patients from pain and counteract the progress of disease. But there is something strangely naïve about wanting to stimulate the brain's reward system. Because our nervous system is set up to want more and to go beyond the boundaries we run into. Ask any expert on addiction. You will wind up with people who demand more and more current."
I think that "wind up with sb" here means to become one of them. But what's the exact meaning of "wind up with"? How do we use it? Is it usually used in bad situation?
It tells that a pair of lovers who have been together for many years try to test their relationship by sleeping with others. They think that if after sleeping with others, they also want to be together and go into marriage, that's true love.

After their several times experiences of sleeping others, Will makes a proposal to Anna. Anna accepts his proposal. But when he brings Anna to their new house, Anna hesitates to go into it. In the end, Anna leaves and Will doesn't retain her. They both cry and break up.
My BF said he didn't like the movie. I asked him why. He said because they sexed with others imprudently. Ahaha, I said that even thought I didn't agree with their action, but I could understand them. Some people want to experience fresh bodies when their long-term relationship become boring and lack of freshness. I think it is like a drug, once you touch it, it will be difficult to get out of. Be carefull, if you cherish your life.
Many of my colleagues experienced post-holiday syndrome these days, they felt tired and couldn't dedicate themselves into work.

Having a language partner is a win-win situation, because you can not only learn your target language from your partner but also understand your native language more deeply.

I traveled to Beihai city with a girlfriend of mine. The city's weather is warmer than which I live. And the city is next to the sea.
During we traveled in the city. We went to the beach to walk on, went to local restaurant to eat sea food, ride mobile cycle to feel the sea wind.
It was interesting except I got tummy sick. Maybe it was because I was not used to the local food. I went to pharmacy to buy some medicine, after I ate the medicine I felt better.
Tomorrow, I will fly back to my living city and the day after tomorrow, I will begin to work. It's so sad.
After getting up, I was in a hurry. I finished washing face and dressing up quickly. Then went out of my apartment.
My office is just 2 kilometers away from my apartment, I often go to work by bus or by walk.
When I was on the bus, I realized that I forgot comb my hair. Oh my god. Fortunately my hair is short, it was not very messy and I had a comb in my bag.
When I arrived my office, I ran to lady's room, combed my hair.
I thought it was so funny. Ahaha
Last night, she cooked for our dinner. The food were so delicious but also spicy bacause there were many red peppers in it. But I ate a lot.
Then, my stomach hurt in the middle night. It was painful. Then I took some medicine. An hour later I felt better.
I won't eat so many spicy food in the future. I promise.
But when I did, he thought it was terrible. Is 'my boy' insulting and impolite in some context?
