  • A child (pl. children) is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty,[1][2] or between the developmental period of infancy and puberty.[3] The term may also refer to an unborn human being.[4][5] In English-speaking countries, the legal definition of child generally refers to a minor, in this case as a person younger than the local age of majority (there are exceptions such as, for example, the consumption and purchase of alcoholic beverages even after said age of majority[6]), regardless of their physical, mental and sexual development as biological adults.[1][7][8]

    In law, a minor is someone under a certain age, usually the age of majority, which demarcates an underage individual from legal adulthood. The age of majority depends upon jurisdiction and application, but it is commonly between 18 and 21.

    They were children. There is no need to adultify minors here.








  • Maybe in the 90s/early 00s, certainly not now.

    Almost every pub offers mocktails and “blue” beer (ie alcohol free) now because the demand for alcohol has plummeted. There’s even entirely alcohol free night clubs in some cities. Although I think they’re more of a trendy gimmick, they’re only possible because of a lack of demand for alcohol.




  • The protest was in response to Tommy Robinson’s “unite the kingdom” rally in September, when 110,000 people marched through central London.

    The event was supported by a wide range of celebrities, including the actors Christopher Eccleston, David Harewood, Lenny Henry, Steve Coogan, Toby Jones, Lolly Adefope and Maxine Peake, the musicians Paloma Faith, Charlotte Church, Brian Eno and Beverley Knight, and the comedian James Acaster.

    I didn’t know these celebrities supported Tommy Robinson! /s

    What a terrible order of phrasing from an international newspaper.


  • Thank you for the sources. However, from your own source Mint appears to be fine. Ubuntu, agreed, isn’t worth touching but Mint seems to remove the problems with Ubuntu.

    4 If you are a desktop user who values control and simplicity — consider migrating: Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Fedora, and Debian all offer compelling alternatives without Snap’s structural issues. The migration cost is real but one-time; the ongoing friction of managing Snap on Ubuntu compounds with every package and every update.

    5 If you recommend distros to others — update your recommendation: Developers who previously defaulted to “just install Ubuntu” when helping friends or onboarding team members should now give this advice more thought. Linux Mint in particular offers a nearly identical user experience to Ubuntu’s classic desktop with none of the Snap-related friction.
