In 2016, Canada legalized medical assistance in dying (MAID) for adults with a severe and irreversible illness, disease or disability. Social media posts sharing photos of a pamphlet referring to MAID for "mature minors" claimed it promoted MAID to children or that MAID is currently, or soon will be, available to children, including those experiencing mental illness. These claims are false. The pamphlet actually advocates against MAID access for minors.
I am sure there must be some science that people switch off and go onto auto-pilot when many others are around, as if it is some sort of safety in numbers mindset or whatever. The lack of awareness is mad.
Waiting to get on a plane just now and one person stands up to go and start a queue to get on the aircraft. Not a single member of staff has done anything to indicate we are about to board, no change in signage or announcements, someone just decided to go and stand at the front.
Another 40 or 50 people then get up from their seats, collect their belongings, and go and start joining this imaginary queue to get on a plane where they already have an allocated seat assigned to them.
They've now been stood there for 10 minutes at least.

My first school as a teacher had a big open atrium in the middle of an X shape with balconies you could look down on the sort of square below. I’d often watch crowd behaviour in kids when I was on duty up top. One will run and others just start going no idea why or where they’re going but everyone else is so let’s do it. Most people run massively on autopilot and there must be some elemental reason where for safety you stick with the herd right? The antelope that doesn’t run when others do gets eaten pretty quick so I’m guessing there’s a big evo psych reason.
Fun to watch tho. But only watch groups of children that are you have legal responsibility for pls.

Having spent a lifetime travelling for work in Europe just with hand luggage some late flights I always got as close to the front of people started queuing - reason - I hated bags under my feet I am tall and if you didn’t get on fast you found that the overhead bins would be full around your seat - a distinct no no was putting your bag more than a reach away behind your seat row as when you get off there’s no way you are going backwards on a hurry to get your bag - the knock on effect could at Birmingham cost you 30 minutes as the Q for passports had already built up - if you are about to sit down for 2 plus hours no problem with standing for a bit before the flight - just glad I am retired
