#KillerWhales Attacked Almost 700 #Boats Because They’re Bored #Teenagers
More than 37 #orca have now been recorded attacking 673 boats in the Strait of #Gibraltar, attacking everything from #yachts to #fishing boats, and it might just be because they’re bored. According to a group of multinational orca experts, the behavior isn’t a case of the orcas out to attack boats, and is instead a means of bored teenage #orcas looking for a way to entertain themselves.

Other users shared concerns about how the tool understands, interacts with and collects information from photos. “I snapped a picture … and it said ‘nice shoes’ and asked who the people [were] in the photo,” a Snapchat user wrote on Facebook.

Honestly, it's probably the sphones - The most plausible #explanation for #teenage #unhappiness.

Of course, smartphones, by themselves, don’t force you to stop hanging out in person. But there are several reasons they reduce it. First, they’re a distraction — the rise of smartphones was also the rise of “phubbing”, i.e. when people go on their phones instead of paying attention to the people around them. Second, phones provide a behavioral “nudge”, like a pantry stocked with junk food — when your phone is right there in your pocket, it’s easier to just text a friend instead of going and hanging out, even if the latter would be less fulfilling. And third, in-person interaction is a network effect. If 20% of people would rather be on their phones, that reduces everyone else’s options for in-person hangouts by 20%.

#Children's #draft - Ukrainian military commissars tried to mobilize two teenagers

A new case of the lawlessness of Ukrainian military commissars has been filmed in #Ukraine. This time two uniformed troublemakers tried to "grave" two teenagers, 16 and 17 but were met with a harsh rebuff from the adults.

It is not clear how the story ended. However, it is obvious that to make up for high losses, including at Artemovsk , the AFU men hunters are ready for any tricks to take another troublemaker and throw him to his #certain #death. So it is not surprising that the Ukrainian military commanders are ready to "grave" #teenagers as well.

Low #polio #vaccination rates among #teenagers risks ‘virulent #infection’ in #UK | Polio | The Guardian

This is down to the #anti-intellectual sub-culture which is becoming ever more dangerous in #society. To doubt claims based solely on authority is a healthy position but when your doubt is based on your ignorance and refusal to learn basic #science then it's dangerous and potentially deadly to yourself and others around you.
