  • It sounds like you are saying making this change will help good parents be good parents be good parents while bad parents will still be bad parents. I agree.

    Your argument about not being responsible for the content your platform hosts is old. If a platform can’t moderate the content it hosts, don’t host it. Most people would even be happy with a reasonable attempt at moderation. I’m not one of those people, I don’t believe companies should profit from an unsafe product, which the prevents safe products from gaining traction as they are more expensive to run.


  • If you allow user generated content in your game, you should be responsible for it.

    As for changing the rating not achieving anything, you’re wrong again. I imagine there are a lot of adults with kids who are unaware of the chat elements of Roblox and how it exposed their children to sex offenders. Changing the rating would likely cause some people to pause for thought when seeing it. It would probably limit it’s visibility on some store front. Possibly be removed from others. And if nothing else, I imagine the news cycle around having its rating changed would reach a lot of people who wouldn’t usually be aware of this.


  • As someone who down voted your comment, allow me to explain both why I think you are wrong and why I wasn’t going to waste time replying.

    Firstly, the problem with not showing down votes is that the posts below would look the same

    10k 🔺 100k 🔻

    10k 🔺 0🔻

    But we obviously know that 100k down votes is considerably worse than 0.

    And secondly, why I didn’t comment? You didn’t ask a question, you haven’t haven’t said why you think your version is better to drive the conversation forward. You just made a comment. I disagree with it so I down voted it. if someone agrees, they up vote. Over time the ratio will show what the general opinion is.



  • I would say I am more a car person than a bike person.

    I’m not against bicycle infrastructure, but I am against bad bike infrastructure.

    I use to live in Cambridge in the UK and bike lanes were often an after thought meaning adapting the existing area to accommodate everyone regardless of if space was available. Unfortunately, it usually seemed that it was done for the lowest price so the local council could tick a box to say that it was done even if it was not fit for purpose.

    The most common examples are where there is still parking or bus stops on the side of the street which blocks the bike lanes and forces cyclists onto the road again.

    Another is the inconsistency of bike lanes being on the footpath or on the road. The cheep option seems to be to take which ever is widest (the path or road) and squeeze in a bike path. If the road and path were actually resized, and resurfaced properly, there would often be enough space for everyone.





  • OP said:

    “Germany is questioning the future of the European project.”

    Nothing to do with my comment.

    The comment I replied to said:

    “If Merz could work on getting the economy started instead of parroting AfD shit, i would be so happy”

    Going from a shrinking economy to a growing economy is literally the first step. Again, if that is not enough for you personally, fine, you do you.

    What I am saying is that there was a positive change in the economy. Backed up with a source.

    Argue all you want, what I said was accurate.





  • The previous comment said “work on getting the economy started”. I’m saying from a declining economy to a growing economy is making a start. In the face of tariffs from the US hurting exports I’d say it’s not the worst start either.

    If you are expecting a full turn around in a year and saying anything less is a failure, I think you need to adjust your expectations.

    Edit: as an addition from the article

    Despite a 5.1% increase in government expenditure in 2025, the financial deficit was almost 8 billion euros lower than the previous year because revenue grew 5.8%.

    You can have an issue with his policy, all I’m saying is that from an economic perspective, it seems to be an improvement.



  • How about we accept him back.

    Attempt to reintegrate him back into a caring society.

    Stop media and governments spreading false information about why school systems and hospitals are underfunded.

    Tax billionaires and rebuild key infrastructure.

    Attract companies to invest in the country due to our new and excellent school system and modern infrastructure.

    Provide him with an meaningful job where he feels like he is helping to build a better future.

    Allow him to let go of his misguided anger…

    (Sorry. It’s Christmas and I’ve had a beer. This is probably a terrible idea)
