"It's just weird to talk about your sexual feelings to your parents.” 15-year-old *Ben and his parents, two professionals in their 40s, have watched and discussed the new Netflix drama “Adolescence,” a series that follows the story of a 13-year-old boy who is accused of murdering a female classmate. @BBCNews sits down with Ben and his parents to discuss how their own concerns overlap with the themes from the show:

It's weird what grabs the attention and what doesn't.

I was looking up some UK #statistics and it looks like the most dangerous thing our sons do is drive a car.

Over 78% of all car fatalities are male and that's even higher in the younger groups.

Strangely, that's not why men's insurance is higher. That's mostly because men are more likely to make a claim.

Apparently women cause more accidents per capita in the #USA, which is a very odd geographical difference if you ask me.

These are the kinds of discrepancies that make me suspicious of #social #research

Someone must be getting this wrong, surely. #american #women can't be worse #drivers than their #British counterparts, can they?

[Article] La Société générale lâche les mineurs isolés

La banque rouge et noire refuse depuis janvier dernier de délivrer des cartes de paiement aux associations accompagnant les mineurs non accompagnés (MNA).
Une volte face qui pourrait obliger ces structures à retirer de fortes sommes en liquide. Au risque d’une perte de la traçabilité des fonds…

Returning to a place where we tried to save the Dietenbach #forest, where now people are dealing with heavy state repression. It's important that we recognise our improvements, tell the stories & share visions of what our #healing would look like.
Referencing Gelderloos, "They will beat the memory out of us", so it's up to us to soothe that memory back in. Bring your friends, & likewise let's celebrate #AntiRacism week!

I've seen this query a few times and it took me a while to realise, there is actually a sensible answer to it.

#mastodon is a lot more #european than almost any other social network and that skews the perspective away from events in the USA.

You mention #freesoftware as an example but it's actually one that validates the point.

Free Software is much better known in #Europe than it is in the #US

I hadn't really heard of the person you mention, now maybe I should, but I have to keep my eye on the ball in our own game first.

Bear with me on this. I prepared to be proved wrong. This is just something I'm interested in and trying to understand.
