Recently, while walking around Warsaw, I noticed that there were more and more police officers on streets and in subway. There were actually policemen at nearly every metro station and on every major street, and this situation is not a one-day situation.
It's good that the policemen came out from behind their desks and are among the people to keep order, but I wonder where this intensification comes from. Perhaps it is related to the announcements of the minister of health about greater checks on keeping epidemic restrictions, but I do not recall that earlier during the pandemic there was such an increased activity of the police. I am curious how this affects the crime statistics. I just wonder if the policemen are in greater numbers on the streets, they do not neglect other duties that they performed when they did not.

    As quite a few police officers are now female, it's more accurate to refer to them as police officers (which you did in the first sentence) rather than policemen. You can also use the term 'police', which is gender-free.

Last Saturday, during a walk, I was approached by a man who was apparently looking for a way. He asked me if I knew where the horse stud was located. My automatic reply was "unfortunately no." A few seconds later, however, I came to the conclusion that i know where it was located, turned back and showed him the direction for which he thanked me. This situation made me wonder if the fact that I answered the first time without thinking was a symbol. People today have become more individualistic and have less contact with people in the real world. Perhaps my answer was simply due to the fact that I have never been to this stud and I know where it is only by accident, but this situation, (apart from the satisfaction of helping), also gave me lesson for future to watch out for antisocial reflexes, which may occur more frequent after lockdowns.

Last Saturday, I played a game in which I spent many long hours as a small child. I was hoping to travel back in time to those times when life was much simpler and more beautiful. Unfortunately, despite the emotions, the game turned out to be much worse than I remembered it. I guess that is just how human memory works, it writes down things from youth as cooler than they really were. Perhaps this game was never very good and I just remember it because it accompanied me in the happy moments of my life. Although I turned off this game after a short time and probably won't come back to it for a long time, I am glad I turned it on. Nostalgia is a very nice feeling and I hope that in some time I will remember my present experiences similarly.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE and its importance in the election process The election of the president of the United States is mediated by the Electoral College. It exists on the basis of the constitution and consists of 538 electors. Each state is free to select electors and their number equals the number of congressmen elected from a state. Under the 23rd Amendment, the District of Columbia received 3 electoral votes. Electoral College gives more importance to states that are less populated, so that candidates must gain wide support and not focus on the largest urban centers. However, there are many critics of this solution. They are concentrated mainly in the democratic party which has already been wronged by this system several times,. This happened in 2016 when Hilary Clinton received over 2% (2.87 million) more votes from Donald Trump and still lost the vote at Electoral College by 304-227 votes. In 2000, Democratic candidate Al Gore received over 0.5 million more votes than his competitor G...
