The social norm is constructed: not naturally occurring but created by the society in which it is found.
Hence there are no actions which in themselves are inherently #abnormal or universally condemned by all societies at all times. Deviance is thus situational and contextual.
Rough contact and impact peak around the age of seven. This is gradually replaced by peer monitoring in the years that follow.
Isabelle Clair: "Adolescence is a very normative age. At middle school, "there's a very tough relationship to what's the right thing to do".
Margot Déage: "Physical violence is much more prevalent in elementary/primary school, then decreases in middle school, and progressively through high school."
Margot Déage: "A girl who does not belong to a boy or a man can fall into the category of whore at any time, whatever her clothes or sexual practices."
Margot Déage: "Being in a position to say who’s a whore and who’s a good girl is a power in itself within the girls’ group, a power that is strongly mobilised by certain girls. The ones who can fall, in general, are the hardest on the matter."
"If a young woman does not follow the social injunction to have feelings in a sexual relationship, she knows that she risks being called to order, being punished. Or to feel shame or guilt. This burden of the social norm is primarily internalised."
"There is, in all circles, the threatening 'spectre of the faggot'. The determination to appear as 'a man, a real man' and secure one's masculinity, while escaping suspicion of homosexuality, which is considered demeaning and dangerous. Some gay boys from privileged backgrounds have told me that they were in a relationship with a girl at school to give the impression, to cover their tracks."

Risk tools come to still improve our chances. A study shows:
➤ Risk assessment reduces the likelihood of incarceration for relatively affluent defendants,
➤ Risk assessment increases the likelihood of incarceration for relatively poor defendants.
#ElonMusk’s $56 billion pay package from #Tesla …was the cornerstone of Musk’s meteoric rise from eccentric CEO to world’s richest person….
Now, he may have to give it all back. #Legal experts say #Musk likely will be forced to return at least some of the stock options he secured as part of his 2018 pay package, an award that was — & remains — unparalleled in scope.
#ElonMusk faces more than financial losses. The nation’s premier business court ruled that members of #Tesla’s board were “beholden” to him in a flawed compensation process that he heavily influenced. That ruling strikes at his #power, his #reputation & his carefully cultivated #image as a rakish (?) but brilliant entrepreneur & tactical genius.
(Okay, if you say so.)
…They can appeal the decision, but they’re unlikely to succeed given the evidence….
Trump stands up and walks out during Roberta Kaplan's closing. “The record will reflect that Mr. Trump just rose & walked out of the courtroom,” #JudgeKaplan says. This is an unusual breach of decorum, & Roberta Kaplan continues as though nothing unusual happened.
Roberta Kaplan tells the jury that #Trump should pay her $12M to cover the cost of repairing her #reputation, $12M for the #EmotionalDistress#EJeanCarroll experienced plus #PunitiveDamages. “It will take an unusually high punitive” amount to stop Trump, she says.
Kaplan says she won’t ask for a specific number in punitive damages, but says that they should have an effect on Trump -- & she notes that he is a billionaire. “Billions of dollars to Donald Trump is just a drop in the bucket.”
General exposure through culture and my daughter led me to think #TaylorSwift is at least a really good songwriter. But #Folklore is proof she should be considered great. Like many artists, what's most popular is not her best work. We've watched #Reputation and #MissAmericana but #LongPond is the best so far imo. I only wish she'd go to war against the music industry instead of being on both sides of it. Every big artist seems to struggle with this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folklore:_The_Long_Pond_Studio_Sessions
Yeah, because they know #talent is rare AND that they need to have a good #reputation as #employer in general...
After all, it's not as if one can get people with intricate knowledge about passive mil-spec radars and NATO Link11 communications on StepStone, Monster, Indeed or elsewhere easily...
#Harvard receives another devastating letter from Bill Ackman, detailing the reasons why the university should fire President, Claudine Gay
(‘ In her short tenure as President, Claudine Gay has done more damage to the reputation of Harvard University than any individual in our nearly 500-year history’)
The terrible human toll in Gaza has many causes.
A chilling investigation by +972 highlights efficiency:
An engineer: “When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed.”
An AI outputs "100 targets a day". Like a factory with murder delivery:
"According to the investigation, another reason for the large number of targets, and the extensive harm to civilian life in Gaza, is the widespread use of a system called “Habsora” (“The Gospel”), which is largely built on artificial intelligence and can “generate” targets almost automatically at a rate that far exceeds what was previously possible. This AI system, as described by a former intelligence officer, essentially facilitates a “mass assassination factory.”"
"The third is “power targets,” which includes high-rises and residential towers in the heart of cities, and public buildings such as universities, banks, and government offices."
“Levy describes a system that has almost reached perfection. The political echelon wants to maintain the status quo, and the military provides it with legitimacy in exchange for funds and status.”
“Levy points out the gradual withdrawal of the old Ashkenazi middle class from the ranks of the combat forces[…]:
• the military’s complete reliance on technology as a decisive factor in warfare;
• the adoption of the concept […] of an army that is “small and lethal”;
• the obsession with the idea of #deterrence, which is supposed to negate the other side’s will to fight; and
• the complete addiction to the status quo as the only possible and desirable state of affairs.”
If uni rankings are useful at all, it's not on reputation. We could use rankings on (say) % of students on financial aid; % of faculty tenured or tenure-track; % of tenured faculty who are women, minorities; ratio of teachers to administrators; ratio of avg faculty salary to head football coach salary…
Do you have any specific ideas (code?) how this could be implemented in the decentralized #fediverse? Unclear to me how well a decentralized “pagerank” would converge, for example.
Me: Is there a third character?
My twelve-years-old: Maybe it's God?
(You can use hints from the description.)

Bahia Abdi died when her daughter was nine years old.
The latter used the name #Baya has her art name.
Her works went on a fame track when two rich French men discovered it in Algiers in 1947.
