We just got back from our honeymoon this weekend. We did sort of a west coast tour which included a lot of winery visits. In Napa, we visited the Elyse winery where we tasted some really amazing wines, and a port that really impressed us. Previously, we had worried about tasting wines that seemed too expensive for us to purchase, but looking back it doesn't matter if you buy a bottle or not, you still get to enjoy your tasting (many places the tasty fee is waived with purchase of a bottle though so might as well if you really like it). The Elyse winery visits are by appointment only, partially they said to avoid drunken bachelorette parties and rowdy people in limos, but you can actually call that day and still get an appointment. Then, we visited Domaine Carneros which had some really nice sparkling wines. The tasting area is a bit of an over the top ostentatiously French looking set up, which is actually a very nice spot to enjoy some flights of bubbly.
In Sonoma, we visited Benziger family winery. They use a biodynamic approach to wine making which includes growing a variety of plants around the vineyard to attract different kinds of bugs and animals be to the vineyard ecosystem. It is also a true family farm with many people from the family who actually work there. It was all around a really pleasant place to take a tractor-tram pulled tour.We enjoyed their chardonnays, pinots, and even the port.
We also went to Landmark Vineyards. It is a very beautiful property, and after the tasting we playing croquet and bocce ball (I won). They had several kinds of chardonnay which all tasted different from each other. The Overlook Chardonnay is the most widely available, and it is very good. The Grenache was also very good and tasted a lot like a Rhone Valley wine.
Then we drove to Oregon. We saw the Pacific Ocean, almost ran over a bear crossing the road and listened to the audio book of Tina Fey's BossyPants (very funny).
Then we visited the Argyle Winery. We have been drinking their wines for years, and in fact I served their bubbly with our wedding day lunch in the bridal suite. Their pinots are great. At the tasting they also had a sparkling red, which was kind of weird, but seems like it would be festive for serving before a holiday meal.They also make a wine in the style of an ice wine which was actually very tasty. They were really genuinely nice and seemed to appreciate that we have been drinking their wines for years. Then we visited Willamette Valley Vineyards. We had one of their pinots for Scott's birthday at Jack's Oyster House a couple of years ago. Their pinots are all great, and we also tried some of their port which was maybe not as interesting as the port at the Elyse Winery or at Benziger's. They also have this weird wine made from whole clusters of grapes which does not age in an oak barrel. It is like bottled fruit salad, very light and fun. Because it isn't aged in a $1200 oak barrel it is also half the price as the rest of their wines. It was definitely an interesting wine. Then we went to De Ponte Cellars. They had great views, some great pinot noirs (some vintages were more mineral-like and some were more fruit forward, but they were all very well-balanced), and Melon de Bourgogne, a very tasty, crisp, and refreshing white wine.
It was so fun to learn about how wine is made, and get to try many different kinds side by side in order to compare them more directly than in normal life. All in all it was a really great time. Then we went to Moose Jaw, SK for a 50th wedding anniversary party (where all romantic honeymoons end up).
Awesome honeymoon! Willamette Valley Vineyards is very close to me. Sounds like you had a sweet West coast visit.

Gun rights advocates have long warned them.
Fudds–people who usually start their anti-gun views with, "I'm a gun owner, but…"–have long sided with anti-gunners while laboring under the belief that their beloved hunting weapons would be untouched. Almost invariably, these people are hunters who take an anti-gun stance for everything not connected with hunting. The self-defense Fudd is a rare species indeed.
It seems that Fudds are always under the belief that your guns are up for discussion, but not theirs.
Long-range shooting is a pastime that both bolt-action shooters and semi-auto aficionados enjoy. Both tweak their guns to get the maximum range out of them.
However, what the writer doesn't understand is what those Army and Marine snipers he invokes actually use. By and large, they use bolt-action rifles very similar to those used by most American hunters. All those weapons are just tweaked and tailored for pinpoint accuracy.
Nothing about the Scorpio is unique to the AR-15 platform. While I'm sure it's a fine rifle and all that, it's not particularly unique.
Moreover, plenty will argue that a bolt-action would get better range.
But a freakout we get anyway. The Fudds need to take notice. When the criticisms of the AR-15 platform become criticisms that can be leveled against a bolt-action rifle, maybe it's time to recognize that it won't stop with a ban of the AR-15. It won't stop with magazine restrictions or universal background checks, either.
Sooner or later, they'll come for the bolt-actions.
Who needs a gun capable of shooting so far away, anyway?

Villas-Boas hints time at Marseille may be up after loss to Lens
Olympique de Marseille coach Andre Villas-Boas hinted his time at the Ligue 1 club might soon be over after a 1-0 home defeat against promoted RC Lens.
Andre Villas-Boas: Time up at Olympique de Marseille? - Getty Images
Marseille slumped to its third competitive defeat and has only won two of its last eight games.
Wednesday's loss left them in sixth place on 32 points from 19 games, 10 points behind leaders Paris St Germain who have played one game more.
WATCH: Villas-Boas surprised by timing of Tuchel's PSG dismissal
"If the board decides that I'm not up to par regarding the results, then it will be the time to leave," Villas-Boas was quoted as saying in French media on Thursday.
"If there's a need for change, I'm at their disposal."
"You bring shame on us," a banner in an empty Stade Velodrome read on Wednesday, and the team did little to prove their fans wrong in yet another dismal performance.
While they can rely on a decent defence, OM have only scored 26 goals in Ligue 1 this season, with Dimitri Payet, Dario Benedetto and Florian Thauvin unable to find consistency.
Against Lens, Marseille managed only one shot on goal in the first half. It faces Monaco away on Saturday.

Huawei CEO Richard Yu Q&A: "Politicians are Playing Games"
by Dr. Ian Cutress on September 23, 2019 11:00 AM EST
As the world's second largest smartphone manufacturer, the growth of Huawei over the last decade has been immense. Last year the company overtook Apple with smartphone unit sales, despite not being in the US market, by offering some of the best hardware and user experiences in a very competitive market. However, being placed on the US Entity List earlier this year has put a dent in that momentum, especially when it comes to talking about flagship smartphones. Huawei launched its new Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro smartphones this week, without Google Play Store apps, with CEO Richard Yu committing over $1B to enhance the Huawei app ecosystem. After the launch event, Richard sat down with a group of press and took some questions.
Fighting With One Arm Tied Behind Its Back
In recent years, it's hard to underestimate the effect that Huawei has had on the smartphone industry. The company has two major annual releases: the Mate series brings the latest in chip technology to market, while the P series offset by six months takes the Mate design and puts best-in-class photography inside. Each iteration comes with enhancements to the core elements of the Huawei ethos: design, performance, and user experience. Huawei is everywhere, except the US.
The New Huawei Mate 30 Pro
Being based in China, many individuals and users are sceptical about Huawei. The company says that it is 99% owned by its workforce – supposedly around 40% of its 190,000 employees have the equivalent of non-voting shares as part of a trade union, which translates into employee support and end-of-year bonuses, although these trade shares have zero voting power in a traditional sense - management takes the big decisions. Because the shares are technically owned by the union, they are non-transferable, and individuals cannot trade them - when employees leave the company, Huawei/the union buys back those shares for redistribution. Some people cite that Ren Zhengei, one of its founders, was a senior member of China's ruling Communist Party, and that being in China means having to comply with its data laws and share information with the government. Huawei insists it is not controlled or even directed by the state, just that it complies with all local laws, no matter what the country.
Despite playing almost everywhere in the world in smartphones and telecommunications, this scepticism has kept Huawei smartphones out of the US market. The US government, even under the previous administration, saw Huawei as a threat, and its attempt to enter the market in a big way in Q1 2017 was scuppered. Despite not playing in the consumer market in the US, Huawei has a lot of business with American companies. Huawei uses the Google Android operating system in its smartphones, and has been a leading partner in Android ecosystem development for a decade. Huawei uses Microsoft Windows for its PC business. Huawei also has had extensive research facilities in the US under the Futurewei name, and deals with a good number of smaller companies. In Huawei's own words, 'we bring a lot of profit to US companies'.
All this came to a head earlier this year, when the current administration due to its tariff war with China, placed 80 companies including Huawei on an Entity List, barring any US company (or any company with product development in the US) to work with Huawei without a licence. Almost immediately Google and Microsoft had to cut off all contact with Huawei, and companies with extensive facilities in the US, such as Arm, had to re-examine its product portfolio to see what could and couldn't be shared with Huawei. More than 100 companies have submitted requests for licences to work with Huawei, however none of those submissions have been approved at this time, despite six months after the initial ban.
This has put Huawei, and some US companies, in a bit of a pickle. Despite being as vertically integrated as possible, Huawei relies on several high-profile US companies and US operations in order to produce its products. By being unable to even communicate with Google on official terms places Huawei on the sidelines – open source only, with no way to licence Google services. With no way to work with companies like Microsoft on bug fixes or OS optimization, Huawei's products could potentially stagnate, and US companies lose out on not only revenue but a strong technically minded powerhouse that has the ability to help improve both sides of the equation. To that end, Huawei has put its resources into overdrive: where it has been reliant on US companies in the past, Huawei is moving to become self-reliant, ultimately removing its connections from the US technology industry, probably to the detriment of the US.
As a result, Huawei has been proactive in announcing initiatives such as HarmonyOS (Hongmeng OS), a unified microkernel platform to cover everything from microcontrollers to televisions. Huawei is putting $1B into its own version of the Play Store, known as the App Gallery, to encourage developers to port their apps under Huawei's APIs and SDKs. The sweetener there is that where Apple and Google take a 30% cut of all sales, Huawei will only take a 15% cut. Huawei is also expanding its AI efforts to more products, as well as the cloud.
Unfortunately, HarmonyOS is ultimately not ready for prime-time in smartphones. Huawei's representatives have been cagey about whether it is suitable for such devices, but in reality it just isn't ready for that sort of scale. As a result, for its smartphones, Huawei is turning to the open-source version of Google Android, known as AOSP (Android Open Source Project). At this level, Huawei does not need to interact with Google, but it does not get access to certain Google Services, like the Play Store, because it can't license them due to the US issue.
Roll forward to September 19th, and Huawei announces its first major product that is feeling the impact of this ban: the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro smartphones. The worldwide launch for the devices occurred in Germany, where the company has launched the Mate series for the last few years. Huawei CEO of the Consumer Business Group, Richard Yu, spoke for 88 minutes about the new hardware and the innovative user experience that the devices offer, and then two minutes about not having Google apps as well as the Huawei app ecosystem.
The key element here is the use of GMS, or Google Mobile Services. The GMS library forms a key part of certain Android apps, such as Maps, Docs, Gmail, Search, YouTube, Play Store, Drive, and Photos. Huawei no-longer has access to GMS, and so instead suggests to users that most of these features can be accessed through the web. By contrast, Huawei has its own mobile services, or HMS, and it is this library that the company is encouraging software developers to use, by dangling a high user install base, a higher percentage return, and Huawei's investment.
It was on these topics and more to which Huawei's CEO, Richard Yu, was grilled on by the press for around 45 minutes after the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro presentations. We were one of about two dozen press sat in a side room after the main event. This was, we were told, Richard Yu's only press session as part of the launch.
As always with our interview transcriptions, the transcription has been tidied for readability and some questions may be rearranged to assist with topic consistency. Where possible, we have noted the journalist and publication that asked the question.
Q: Can you explain clearly which operating system will work on?
A: This is Android 10. We use the Android Open Source Platform - consumer can download the apps they need from many app stores.
Q: Why Wasn't HarmonyOS used?
A: This year we are still using AOSP. We want to support Google and our partnership with them. We want to continue to partner with US companies like Google. If we cannot work with these companies because of the US ban, then we will create our own solutions. HarmonyOS is ready for deployment in certain areas, but we have postponed it at this time because we still want to work with Google. I think that this US ban has destroyed this industry. It has split the industry - it is harmful for US companies. The smartphone as a product has no relationship with network infrastructure or backbone 5G security. So why they are doing this – it is really difficult to understand why they are like this.
"This US ban has destroyed this industry"
Nirave Gondhia, TechnoBuffalo: With Huawei having zero interaction with Google, we no longer have Google-based applications. This will be a make-or-break deal with a number of potential customers outside of China. How will Huawei approach this?
A: With Google apps - some of the apps are web-based, or you can download them from other channels, other app stores. Huawei will aim to provide alternative solutions for our users - we cannot install the GMS core, and so using Huawei HMS and Huawei App Gallery is our solution. From next month on, we will ship this to global market.
Q: Specifically about the Google Play Store, can it be side loaded on the Mate 30 series?
A: We recommend the Huawei App Gallery, or other stores. Some Google apps are on the App Gallery store, or on other stores. There are many stores, you can download apps from other stores. You cannot use Play Store [on the Mate 30 series], because it requires the GMS core which we cannot use. This is not good for Google, for their business – we have made a big contribution to US companies, and now that is all forbidden. That's damaging to US companies. We [at Huawei] are very open and transparent.
Q: Which Google Apps will or will not work due to GMS?
A: We hope that consumer can use Google's apps. There are web versions [through the browser] that still work if users cannot load the applications. However for example, Google apps work on iOS because iOS has the GMS core support. Users might be able to download the GMS core themselves through other stores or third party websites. Some consumers can do that.
Q: Will Huawei do anything to help people Google apps? Will sales people in stores help users? Or will software be installed to help others install Google apps?
A: We cannot help our users to do it. The retailer might help the user, but not with help from Huawei.
Q: Will the Mate 30 smartphones be preloaded with other app stores?
A: [At the moment, only] Huawei App Gallery. We are discussing to make the other app stores on our phones also. We are looking to preinstall them, or offer them through our app gallery. They can also be side loaded.
Q: If the issue with the US resolves in a positive way, how easy/difficult is it for Huawei to add Google services?
A: Over one night. We can do it immediately. In the past years, we have made big contributions to the Android ecosystem. We are leading many of the innovations. We bring a lot of profit to US companies.
Andy Boxall, Digital Trends: With regards the App Gallery - you've spoken before about partnerships and the $1b investment bringing developers. Can you explain how you are planning to expand the apps in the App Gallery?
A: We are working with developers to implement applications with the HMS core, rather than GMS core. Today Google and Apple take 30% of their app store revenue, with the developer getting 70%. With Huawei, we only take 15% and give 85% to the app developer. Huawei only takes 15%. More revenue for the app developer means more profit, and we like that kind of encouragement. We have to do this - we were forced to this. I hope you can understand that. But the US government forced us, we have no other choice. It's not good for the US companies.
Nirave Gondhia: Without the Play Store, it does hamper you slightly. What we've seen from other companies going this route is that there are only three big apps that most people care about: Facebook, Whatsapp, and Instagram. They are all managed by Facebook. Are you talking to Facebook about new apps for the App Gallery?
A: Those apps will work with our phones. Can run those without GMS core.
Dr. Ian Cutress: For the past couple of generations, Huawei has locked down the boot loader to its new phones, which has stopped users from adjusting the device and modifying the OS. With these new developments and the lack of interaction with Google, will this policy of the locked boot loader continue?
A: In the past we limited this feature to guarantee more security for the consumer. This time I think perhaps we need to give more freedom for the consumer. We are planning on the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro - consumers can do customization by themselves. Especially to download apps that they need from US companies.
"We Bring a Lot of Profit to US Companies"
Q: Huawei has showed great sales and revenue performance of the last couple of years. How will recent ban affect the sales of Mate 30 compared to previous devices?
A: Inside China, sales will increase. Outside China, might decrease. The market is more competitive in China, but the China market will have strong demand and growth. We will sell in the global market, but for sure some market will be influenced by the change. From May, the US ban means Huawei's retail sales dropped, but retail is now recovering quickly through Q3. I believe that this generation we can sell maybe more than 20 million units. This [the Mate 30 series] will be a very successful product, I do believe. Some consumers, even without Google apps, they love our products. We have influence, but the China market demand will be huge.
Q: For the Mate 30 / Pro, Huawei has over the last 18-24 months in the EU worked with carriers to bring handsets to users. With these new developments, are we still going to see them sold by carriers?
A: Yes. We still have good partnerships with carriers - they buy a lot of our products. That is because of the relationship, but more importantly the consumers love our products. [We have the] Best quality, the best user experience. That is why we still sell many products in the carrier channel. Fore example, our new P30 colors are selling very well. We have the Nova 5T, and some other new products in before the Google ban. We bring them to the European global market and our consumer feedback is still very positive. The carriers need us, and they have trust and support. The users love Huawei.
Q: When the pricing up came up for the Mate 30 series, it was in Euros. Can you say which European countries these devices are coming to?
A: We are planning to come to Europe from next month, step by step. We are still in the process and planning. Even without GMS core, and Google services, we still want to ship the AOSP version to our European consumers.
Q: Can you confirm when Huawei Mate 30 series is coming to the rest of the world (Middle East / Latin America)?
A: We are planning this. We cannot stop our business - our consumers love our products. Some products we don't need Google GMS, like the smartwatch.
Q: You have announced plans for the Mate 30 series to be released next month. Is there a chance there will be a delay?
A: We are planning to ship these devices next month in APAC. For the EU market, we are planning for some markets in the next month, so we don't expect any postponement to be too long. We are vetting the user experience across multiple regions, so countries can use the product. It's a flagship phone. I'm not humble - it's better than the other flagships!
"Huawei is a Bargaining Chip.
We Follow All Local Laws."
Q: Do you consider the situation with the US as static, or are there changes ahead with the US relationship?
A: It is a US-China issue, and Huawei is a bargaining chip for it. That's not good. Some politicians are playing games and making a lot of noise – that is unfair to us. They relate us with China, but Huawei is a global company. We have operations in over 170 countries. We follow all local laws.
Q: What are your personal feelings about the US issue?
A: This kind of trade war is not good for two great nations. This is like a real war. It damages both sides. I do believe this war will finish sooner or later - I believe sooner rather than later. It is too big a damage for two great nations, and that is not good.
"This is like a real war. It damages both sides"
Dr. Ian Cutress: Over the past couple of weeks we have seen your SoC competitors announce mid-range chipsets with integrated 5G for 2020, bringing this technology to the masses next year. Huawei has yet to say the same – can you comment on whether you think that the mid-range is ready for 5G next year, or what Huawei's plans are to do in this market?
A: With Huawei, 5G will come to mid-range and low-range next year. We also have 5G mid-range and low-range solutions next year. Our competitors are not yet ready for mid-range hardware, and we're not ready yet either. This year is all about the premium segmentation, and next year the battle is for mid-range 5G smartphones. 5G consumer demand is very high – users who want to buy a new phone, if they want to keep it for several years, don't want to be stuck on 5G in 2021-2023. In 2020, we will see increased demand for 5G in the mid-range. Users need to experience 5G and the speed.
Q: During the presentation you covered the automation stuff around the home, such as using automation to turn on the TV, the vacuum, the lights. As far as we understand, that is mostly in the China market right now - are you bringing these features to other geographic regions?
A: Yes, we are planning the ecosystem to the global markets. One example, the phone working with the car, and the ecosystem, is important for next year. For sure we are planning this. Our software already supports this. We need some time to deploy the cloud and do the IoT testing. We are working with some European partners and we already work with these people. We will deploy our AI engine and our AI solution and our HiLink smart home solution outside China to global market from next year. Even today, Huawei Vision is coming to the global market.
Many thanks to Richard and his team for their time.

If Huawei did not wish to encounter difficulties from the United States, it should not have sold equipment containing U.S. technology to Iran through a subsidiary it attempted to conceal. This is why one of their senior managers is awaiting extradition to the U.S.; if anyone has the right to complain about politicians playing games, it is the Canadian people, as two of our nationals have been arrested on false spying charges and are still being held in China.

If Huawei were based in Taiwan...frankly there wouldn't be such a company. It's precisely their ties to the Party that got them this far. They're free to run wild, with governmental support in many aspects, in arguably the largest single market in the world. That wouldn't be the case if they're based in Taiwan, nor does Taiwan operate in such a fashion. Reply

Ive never seen AnandTech wade into politics or serve as political advertisement until now. I was always happy you all avoided it. I also get you have to ask bc it does affect the industry and their products but softball much? The US, the EU, UK, African Countries have all had issues with their practices and tactics tied to the Chinese government. He pretty much put on a woe is me, innocent victim when that's clearly not the case. Would have been nice to follow up questions pertaining to those issues.
Even better, just stay out of the political arena. I like AnandTech to have only one agenda. Tech. Not this mess. Reply

Chinese phones and electronics are another mean of intelligence gathering for PRC. Huawei are in the most dangerous position due to their sheer size and big portfolio of communication equipment like cellular equipment. This actually makes them a national security threat. Remember that those companies obey the PRC demands and will do what they are asked for without any objections. Reply

Leaving all the arguments from the comment section aside, why is this on Anandtech? This is not tech news, not by a long shot. Even more, it's a person who's widely known to be a chronic liar. Since when has Huawei become the allfather of this site? (i've been reading it since its inception and i actually made an account, today, to post this - this is beyond infuriating). Reply

The Power of Kids
June 24, 2019 June 24, 2019 ~ Stephen Mansfield
A group of kids stand around a hole in the ground. As you interact with the scene, they start to take a dive. They fall in as a group, until the hole is the only thing left on the screen. Just looking at this scene, it would seem that Kids, the newest game from Michael Frei and Mario von Rickenbach, is asking a variation on the old question that parents ask children: "If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?" But there's one big difference. In Kids there is no "you." You play as the collective, controlling all of the titular children.
This hole in the ground is returned to again and again in Kids, and it can be read multiple ways. It can be seen as a meditation on peer pressure and how people are lead to do destructive things through the destructive acts of others. In that way it is about the danger of the collective, hewing closely to the parental warning about bridges and following friends into destructive actions. It can be read as an absurd gag, supported by the goofy animation. Watching these kids hopelessly flop into a hole is hilarious as long as we don't think about it, at which point it becomes so depressing that we might have no way to face it other than with laughter. As Frei told Andrew Webster of The Verge, "Some see it as something dark, some find it hilarious."
Regardless of your reaction, Kids is clearly about collectives and group dynamics. But, I agree with Jess Joho, who has written that Kids is not as negative a reflection on groups as it might originally seem. Even if there are moments when the collective might be dangerous or tedious, Kids understands that there's power in a group, and that that power is not inherently bad. As Joho writes, "Kids insists on the beauty of being one indistinguishable part of the masses, part of something cosmically bigger than any one ego." In the game, a lot of this beauty comes from the animation. As I write this, I'm watching tree branches swaying in the breeze, and I'm reminded of the way that the kids move. They don't move with precision or purpose. There is no tension or the feeling like they "need" to do any of this. The motion is all carefree and easy. When standing around the hole, the kids don't excitedly jump in or slowly lower themselves down. The simply put their arms to the side and shift their weight forward until the belly-flop into the abyss. It's effortless and beautiful. You can choose which kids jump in the hole first by clicking on a certain part of it, and when I did it I dragged my mouse around the circle like a clock to make it look like a synchronized performance. There's no strategy to doing this, but I liked the aesthetic.
But not all of the aesthetics in Kids are that calming. The kids running across the screen is similarly fun, but also overwhelming, like a herd of animals. This is no doubt helped by the loud footstep sound effects that overpower these scenes. And then there's the group of kids so large that they fill up more than the space of the screen, who clap on command and with synchronicity. This clap is impressive and awe-inspiring, but it's also a little scary. It feels a lot less playful than the dive into the hole. The rigidness and perfectness of it gives it a military feel.
The contradiction between these different moments of collectiveness is a good thing. Kids is representing the wholeness of collectivity, not just one selected part of it. A collective can be beautiful, powerful, relaxing, terrifying, and plenty of things. As Joho says, "there is something equally beautiful (a synchronized dance performance) and disturbing (a Nazi rally) about the power of what happens when human beings act as one."
But the larger point in Kids is that we only accomplish these things when we act as a group. An individual, when faced with a collective, is powerless. And whether that is a good or bad thing, that is the truth of the world we live in and one that we have to learn to handle.
It's a truth that is perhaps most important when we choose to go against the collective, because it reminds us that we need a collective of our own to do so successfully. There are attempts to go against the collective in Kids. One of these involves a small group that explores the depths of this journey through the hole in a way that the larger collective never does. This smaller group swims up-river (literally and metaphorically) and discovers something new and beautiful. Once they do, they sing a song together, one that is more asynchronous than the collective clap. Their song causes more kids to join them. It's a rejection of the clap and allows more room for the personal due to its asynchronicity, but it is still collective, still collaborative. The parts might be more individualized, but they are still creating a whole. These are competing ideas of what collectivity can look like, but they draw their power from the same place.
Kids has one character that acts purely as an individual. (And even then, if we want to try and connect some abstract scenes, we might be able to assume that they were forced to act this way by a collective). Either way, when this child falls into the center of the clap, they are terrified, and they run. They run through the crowd, across multiple distinct screens, and there are no attempts made to stop them. Other kids just stand to the side and let them through. This kid eventually reaches the screen with the hole and collapses, exhausted from all the running. With nobody around to help them, you, the player, are allowed to act as the hand of nature and drag them into the hole, returning them to the cycle they were trying to escape. The world takes its toll on an individual, and when it does, there is nobody around to offer help.
It would take a superhuman effort to single-handedly resist the collective, and we're just a bunch of kids. But together, not only can we change the world, but we are always changing it, for good or for ill.
