They run the gamut from collectives of sex workers who have hired security to barely concealed trafficking fronts. That's the problem with current anti-sex work legislation though, it doesn't distinguish and calls them all brothels.

Probably "a sting operation run by the whips", but the current law is so poorly worded that two sex workers sharing a flat and hiring a cleaning service would be classed as a brothel (with the maid/cleaner as the 'pimp', profiting from the sex work without engaging in it) so who knows.

I'm guessing with Schools being as underfunded and stripped to the bone as they are, they still don't have mandatory classes on common life skills? I've got problems with my car battery and had a flat tyre on Friday. I only had the faintest notion of how to fix the tyre based on things I've seen in TV shows. I've also got home DIY, electrical, and plumbing things that I've felt like I've been winging (or just getting someone out to help fix) but they look like quite basic issues to solve with the right know-how and practice (the amount of effort I've put into finding the right type of fixing to fix a loose coat hook on a plasterboard wall is Mr Beanesque). It's just got me wishing there was a mandatory set of classes in high school or something that taught you things like how cars and plumbing and all that other stuff works with practical exercises to drill it home. Same thing with taxes and pensions, etc. I know there's only so much time in the day and all of the other subjects are important, but it just strikes me as odd that (at least when i was in school) it didn't seem like a priority to teach us that kind of stuff.

The BBC did a complete 180 and has made the killing of those 12 refugees the main point now. I guess enough Tories were outraged, and aren't accepting of killing the refugees just yet? e: Yup, here's the archive.org snapshot.

While I agree this stuff would have been useful to learn and kids should should probably be taught more of this, school isn't the proper place. It should focus on making children educable, which they don't have too much time and resources to do anyway

When I was 11, I went to my first 'teenage' party (ie rock music and cheap cider, not jelly & icecream & pass-the-parcel* - jumped a year at school so most of the others were 13+). They put Deep Purple "Sweet Child in Time" on (which is 9 mins approx and was only a year old at that time  ) - my dad fetched me about 10pm - very wobbly after a considerable quantity of Strongbow - and I was like "they played a song and it was 9 MINS!!!!" because prior to that other than dad's classical music, all the stuff on TOTP (essential viewing back then) was less than 3 minutes.*do kids still have parties like that, or is it all expensive party bags, hired entertainers or visits to play places with slides & ball pools?

These days the drinking is either hidden, or if it is condoned by parents, it'll be for like 15 or 16 year olds, not 11 year olds. Other than that it sounds the same.

Outside of stuff like grind & powerviolence and stuff like the skits on hip-hop records between the actual songs that clock in under 2 minutes. I suppose there's some hardcore like very early Black Flag. I'm going through my music now and yeah, even stuff like Hank Williams from the '50s is all between 2 & 3 minutes long.

I grew up listening to classical music and I still feel on some level that a song isn’t a proper song if it doesn’t have several “movements” or mood and tempo switches to it. I’d give examples of personal favourites but I have childhood trauma relating to my (lack of) musical ear

My nan had a similarly sized 'modern housewife' type thing from the 40s which had fixing gas and electric and metal repair on pans and all the other stuff that had to be done to maintain the fiction of a Single Income Household. Really I think as more things change and are updated, the best things to teach kids would be how to follow instructions from those kind of resources and the basics of health and safety and first aid. My nan's book would be more hazard than help dealing with a modern consumer unit or gas stove, but knowing where to look for help and when advice is likely to be sensible or terrible is a life long skill.

To be honest I feel like a life skills class should probably focus on "figuring out how to do things" as a skill in and of itself, because if I want to know how to do something I just type it into youtube and there's someone who has made a helpful video on how to do it, which is how I pulled the light module out of my car to change a bulb and put it back in again, and then got asked to do the same thing for a friend who didn't feel up to typing it into youtube, on the basis that I already knew how. I feel like a lot of people just assume they can't do things, and it's not limited to younger people either, I see it a tremendous amount in older people who just "can't do [x]" when in reality they're just looking at it and not really trying to learn how to do it, because the option is available to fob it off and/or get someone else to do it for them. I've been able to do a lot of things just by being willing to have a go. Turns out a lot of stuff is pretty easy if you try. I have told people many times that I don't actually have any expertise I just have a computer and the ability to watch youtube videos. Doesn't seem to deter them from assuming I can just somehow do things they can't. It's fair enough if it's a physical limitation for them but a lot of people seem to default to a state of self enforced helplessness when faced with relatively simple tasks. I blame society, I'm sure it's intentional to stop people thinking about what else they could achieve by taking things into their own hands.
