As we all know, Roblox is garbage tier gameplay structured around psychological cues to get children to fill an endless pit with fake money bought with real money....
I’m still confused as to why you guys don’t just ban the spending of money on micro transactions and not the game itself? Every game is jam PACKED with mtx these days, from CoD to Fortnite to Forza.
Oh duh. Also, I forgot you said it was because you didn’t feel the gameplay/game itself was quality enough, which is fair enough, but I’m not too familiar with Roblox as I’ve never played it.

“In response to the events at Abu Ghraib, the United States Department of Defense removed 17 soldiers and officers from duty. Eleven soldiers were charged with dereliction of duty, maltreatment, aggravated assault and battery.”
I would, but I got banned for daring to disagree with their narratives. Apparently brigading other instances and users is fine, but you have the audacity to go there and debate their lunacy, and it’s ban time.

Sometimes you can do the right thing and have it be beneficial to you as well. Just because something is good for American objectives, doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing.
Yeah, my girlfriend and I were telling people, it’s great. We can just put holes in walls and no one can stop us. We don’t have to stress about a deposit or anything like that. It’s so freeing.
2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision...
Yeah, rent control isn’t the solution people think it is. It turns out markets are high because of demand and supply. Not solely due to greed. What we need is more housing and to delete nimbyism.
This isn’t how we got here. The people that don’t vote tend to be left leaning. Republicans do vote, in mass. I fail to see how thinking not voting/voting third party is how we got here.
What until you hear about the war crimes of authoritarians. Just recently we have Assad gassing his own people, Russia stealing children, stealing land, and filling mass graves in Ukraine, Saudi Arabia murdering a journalist with a hacksaw. Bush may have started an illegitimate war, but the US military is comparatively very good when it comes to avoiding civilian casualties.
I’ll say the same thing to you as I did the other guy.

People like to say this, and I get it, I get the controversy, and I get why, but Florida was a statistical tie. A thousand recounts would have ended at the same spot of more infighting. The supreme Court was conservative leaning and decided in favor of the conservative to no one’s surprise. If the supreme Court was 5-4 liberal, Gore would have won.
The whole issue is so much more two sided than people realize. For example, the person who invented the butterfly ballots was a Democrat politician.
I am not personally in favor of the court’s ruling, I wish Gore had won. The world would be a MUCH better place without GWB having won the presidency.
It took me so long to learn the IMF is a profit driven private organization, which is wild. I wish it was a UN run public organization to help uplift nations in economic trouble.
Especially with how conservative Ukraine is being with it’s troops and it’s counter attacks. There have been a number of reports of their tactics being based around attriting the Russians while keeping their own troops alive.
US fighter jets from the 70s to 90s have fairly similar general layouts compared to one another. I can’t imagine they’d get anything besides the F16 though from us since it’s relatively affordable, maintainable, exportable, and really good.
I for one am in favor. I strongly dislike them and the hexbears. They talk all kinds of shit about being open to arguing and dunking on libs, they’ll brigade other instances and communities, but ban you for having a different opinion in their instance. It’s wild.
For real. Meanwhile they always seem to forget the thousands of Nazi scientists hired by the USSR after WW2. What coincidence 🤪
Edit:
I got banned from hexbear for saying something like it’s “based that for free Biden’s admin got the IMF to loan Pakistan money at the cost of sending weapons to Ukraine to fight our enemies for free.”
I got banned from Lemmygrad for pointing out that China is a fasco-capitalst state that manipulates its currency to keep the party members rich and factory workers poor, which doesn’t feel very socialist to me.
