Nine years and no more A reflection of my time on Roblox, and the worrying future of internet discourse

a bit of a long-winded rant on the 9(!) years that I've spent on Roblox, and why I don't believe it's the right place to be

- the desire to remove rights from the out-group
- the instilment of an ideology that they are "under attack"

- the use of vigilantism to project strength and as entertainment

with the current situation, i see the following elements:
- strong masculine figureheads
- the inclusion of queer people by some as "pedophillia" as well as discriminatory language as an outgroup
- the community's reactionary nature
- hypersexualisation of things seen as feminine

it's depressing how legislating rights in laws is often criticised as a "waste of time" as it "won't improve the living conditions of the poor" whilst tearing them down doesn't get as much scrutiny for the same reason

New Zealand is defending one of the most significant accomplishments by one its countrymen against claims from newly sworn-in United States President Donald Trump that America was the first to split the atom.

Trump made the claim during his inauguration speech in Washington DC today.

This is despite the fact New Zealander Ernest Rutherford was the first person to initiate an artificial nuclear reaction when he β€œsplit the atom” in 1917 at Victoria University of Manchester, England.
