Well you could ban "Happy Meals" and toys in meals for one... ;)

Re: The Movie Thread


Send Help - Sam Raimi-directed movie about two coworkers (one douchebag boss-bro and an overlooked-for-promotion woman) who are stuck on a deserted island is also utterly excellent and now on streaming.


Yeah, I enjoyed this yesterday evening. Surprisingly grim and gory in places (I didn't know ...

That stuff brings in 20% tax so I guess the Government aren’t as interested in banning that stuff from kids Under 16

On top of that, the scale of the moderation problem with user-generated is beyond enormous, wIth something like 10 billlion videos uploaded to TikTok alone each year, it's off the charts. It incomparable to moderating any other form of media.

Re: World Cup 2026

England’s defence was a bit ropey but everyone’s been crying out for this sort of positive attacking football for years so good to see.

Stones shouldn’t started and O’Reily needs to improve.

Bellingham was better immense.

As an Arsenal fan, I have to ask - “Everyone suddenly OK with set piece ...

WhatsApp, Instagram, SnapChat, YouTube, then XBox Live

I meant to ask earlier, I presume you don't think the banning of advertising of high sugar and fat foods to under 16''s goes far enough. I presume that while you may only give your boy the occasional bag of crisps or chocolate bar, because ...

Re: Bye bye Starmer


Because as a society we set all sorts of rules and limits for what is acceptable based on risk - Driving, drinking, smoking, school attendance, sexual consent, etc… Once upon a time all those were without rules too, the world changes.

I can see your point...

You're banned... Now clean yourself up and we might lift the ban

but then again,

Clean yourself up... or else you'll be banned

We shouldn't just take the easy way out though because it's hard.

I absolutely refuse to believe the social media companies can't do significantly better - they just don't because a. It costs money and b. no-ones really making them.

Instagram Algorithms are almost supernatural in the way they ...
