It is real btw

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roblox_ban_protests_in_Russia

Following the Roskomnadzor’s statement on 3 December 2025, which stated that Roblox would face a national ban in the Russian Federation over content regulations, a series of rare, coordinated public demonstration and digital campaigns, occurred throughout the nation. The protesters were mostly children and teenagers from Generation Alpha and Generation Z. This wave of resistance from Russia’s youngest demographic ultimately forced a rare political retreat by the government, culminating in the Minkomsvyaz officially lifting the ban on 10 June 2026, following over 63,000 official letters of complaint from minors.

Tbh, that kinda does make more sense… still a weird complaint though.

It’s actually supposed to be Türkiye, due to Turkey’s request to be called like that in English by international entities: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61671913

I neither know why ordinary people would call it like that, since Turkey is still practically the usual name (more recognisable, easier to write and pronounce), nor why calling it Türkiye anyway would be suspicious.

For better and for worse, that “statistic” is pure nonsense. Some guy basically just made it up and sort of tried to make the historical data look like it fits, but if you look into it it’s going to give you a headache.

Damn, and AI is still not getting the number of fingers (toes) right?? D:

Tbh now that you mention it, I realise it might be AI… :/ I don’t know precisely it was made

It has no added artificial preservatives, obviously.

Now Google is so good you never have to look that far anyway :^)

No, I agree. One indicative moment was when Google stopped showing the “X million results found” and the results ended after 10-15 pages even when the keywords should have millions of results. This was noticed back in 2021.

So, are you proposing some other game, or just leaving the table?

if… they need a victory once to undo it all

They don’t.

That’s an angle I haven’t considered. I looked it up, and in my country, then a part of the Habsburg monarchy, the limit on serfs’ movement was abolished in 1785.

Yeah, the richest families have stable residence. But the lower classes, it seems to me at least, moved around relatively regularly (not even close to the current situation, of course), mainly due to economic reasons, which obviously weren’t too nice for the average peasant. Over the last 200 years every developed country sooner or later underwent urbanisation, meaning a massive move of the population from the countryside into the cities. In my case, it was my grandparents and great-grandparents who moved to the city where I live now as well…

And I love you

I’m pretty sure I stole this one from him, tbh

if you’re saying stuff like this

I’m not. My statement was (quite obviously, I think) an illustration of the bizarre logic of interpreting “A is better than B” as “people who have difficulties with A should be gatekept from the subject altogether and not use B either”.

Reading literally engages different parts of your brain that are otherwise dormant.

That’s still not “a lot more cognitive effort” that you claimed, though, and also not proof that it reduces your appreciation of the animation.

And as I mentioned, sometimes I want to watch stuff while high.

Who cares? That’s such a specific use case, nobody is arguing for or against dubbing with regards to how much you can follow it while high.

Sometimes I want to give my eyes a break from using my glasses or reading things in fine detail.

but it is also very common for myself and a lot of other people to be doing other things and having TV on in the background

Writing this after previously arguing dubbing is better because it allows you to follow the animation more attentively is just ridiculous.

This whole discussion is ridiculous, in fact.

That keeps out the visually impaired.

And favouring walking and riding a bicycle over driving a car is gatekeeping of transport because it keeps out the disabled. What a bizarre argument/accusation.

It requires a lot more cognitive effort to watch, and takes your eyes off the actual animation that you are meant to enjoy.

It doesn’t, as long as your reading skills are above that of a 12-year-old.

People in the US who watch foreign films in different languages have a similar subculture.

Bruh, what? Non-English films aren’t dubbed enough in the first place for this to be a metric for a “subculture”.

The emails also revealed the rich pedophiles manipulated quanon to their advantage

They don’t reveal that.

Every word he writes is important.

Do you see my comment? That means you haven’t followed Tyler’s wise advice. You should try it again!

Is this loss?
