How many more poor child workers must die in Pakistan before change happens? - Zofeen T Ebrahim, The Guardian
"Although it is illegal in most of Pakistan’s provinces for children under 14 to work, and in some for children under 18 to work in hazardous occupations, Pakistan’s Society for the Protection of the Rights of the Child estimates there are 12 million child workers in the country."

Unpopular opinion: the greatest threat to humanity is ourselves. Our lack of emotional maturity. Our inability to communicate effectively. How so few adults can navigate conflict with empathy. We're at war with ourselves and each other.

I HATE cults!
My experience of them since I left college nearly 20 years ago has been in the areas of - a supermarket chain that I could only stick working in for 2 months; a far-left political cult even though I didn't formally join them; and a minority language cult even though I didn't formally join them either. With the latter 2 I don't believe that most of their leaders actually give a fuck about their causes while still being I believe cults which sends out a different in some ways more disturbing vibe.

Youtube Row Fixer - Chrome (August 2023)
I came across this extenstion recently and now use it on my 2 computers and on my parents main computer - it's good for displaying your stuff uploaded to Youtube if you have a lot of stuff uploaded to it. It was only created last month. The way Youtube display 4 per line on channels is stupid I think. I think they should have an option of looking at channels by options of 4 or 6 per line.
