  • I’m from the UK and in my 40s. I got shown a video about genitalia at primary school when I was about 10. Then we got taught it several times until we left school, often about masturbation or safe sex. All from a pretty serious educational kind of perspective, not demonising it or anything. Largely saying that masturbation is normal and that you should have sex safely. I remember some weird video where they talked about masturbating by twisting your penis rather than the usual motion.


  • British TV doesn’t have too many adverts, I don’t think. At least not compared to other countries. It helps that we have the BBC because if any of the other channels push their luck they know you can just watch something on the BBC channels without any adverts at all.

    I remember being in American and watching a sitcom; they showed a 30 second intro skit and then they showed the opening credits, then went straight into the first ad break. I don’t think it went five minutes without ade.

    Sounds like your partner is expecting you to read your mind, which can be an autistic thing. People with ADHD and autism tend to find each other.

    On the other hand, you don’t need to be with someone if being with them is making you feel bad about yourself, it sounds like you’re just trying to cope. Not to say it’s anyone’s fault but if it’s not working it’s not working.


  • I’ve tried a few since switching from Windows. I’ve tried Fedora, Pop, EndeavourOS and openSUSE. I went back to openSUSE. I don’t know why but it just sat best with me. Fedora’s good as well but the openSUSE package manager is faster.

    Honestly I think the Desktop Environment is probably more important than the distro itself. I do like GNOME because it’s slick but I prefer the layout of Plasma, even though it feels dated. There’s Budgie as well but it doesn’t feel feature-complete.
