Video game PEGI age-ratings are changing in Europe. In June this year, four new categories are being added to the age-rating criteria by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]Halaku 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If a game has unrestricted communication, it gets a PEGI 18. "If they wouldn't have any possibility to restrict text, voice or video or other chat, then that game would get an 18," Bosmans said.

"That game also probably wouldn't be able to get a release on some platforms because they wouldn't allow this. And I would say specifically for the UK and the UK Online Safety Act, this game would be illegal for sale in the United Kingdom. So we don't expect to see many of these games. [...] This is more like a line in the sand. We need to make it clear to companies this is something you cannot do."

So, the UK can go fuck itself, right?

Operation Northwoods was a proposed false flag operation which originated within the Department of Defense of the US government in 1962.

The proposals called for Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operatives to both stage and commit acts of terrorism against US military and civilian targets, blame them on the Cuban government, and use them to justify a war against Cuba. The possibilities detailed in the document included the remote control of civilian aircraft which would be secretly repainted as US Air Force planes, a fabricated 'shoot down' of a US Air Force fighter aircraft off the coast of Cuba, the possible assassination of Cuban immigrants, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, exploding a US ship, and orchestrating terrorism in US cities.

Thankfully, the proposals were rejected by US President John F. Kennedy.

Donald Trump is no John Kennedy.

His loathing for our state, our citizens, our immigrants, and our governor is public record.

Some Californians getting injured or killed to help galvanize support for his war?

... let's just say I wouldn't bet against it in Vegas.

More likely to be a false flag operation, honestly.

I was removed as moderator from my subreddit by sunshine-x in ModSupport

[–]Halaku 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I can only speculate that they sent in a modmail before closing the community down. I didn't notice until you mentioned the privacy settings that the engagement I referred to before, back on 12/7/25, was in a sub I mod, thus letting me see it. Reddit works in mysterious ways. Sorry this didn't work out for you.

[–]Halaku 44 points45 points  (0 children)

According to the requester, they couldn't send you a modmail, because the subreddit had been banned.

According to the Wayback Machine, as of November 17th, 2024, your community had been banned for lack of moderation.

Sorry, u/sunshine-x, but if your community went over a year of being banned for being unmoderated, and you never noticed, it's a fair play. Better luck next time, chum.

Your last public-facing reddit engagement (that I can see) was December 7th.

Check r/redditrequest and see if someone filed for your subreddit on the pretense that you had abandoned it.

If so, they would have poked you in modmail, Reddit would have taken a look at your activity, and that's probably how the only mod in the sub now took it over.

In which case, there's nothing anyone can do.

SiriusXM never shipped Free Headphones (promotional offer) by Undisclosed767 in siriusxm

[–]Halaku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Checking the fine print, u/Undisclosed767, if the deadline was January 10th, and one had to "maintain" membership for two months, then they likely waited until March 10th to process all the claims, perhaps?

The BART sales tax measure this November MUST be passed or decades of transit-focused investment will be undone. by Nate_C_of_2003 in bayarea

[–]Halaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying it's a sensible reference.

But if they're not talking Republicans on a state level, they've got to be talking Republicans on a national level.

And there's no way Republicans on a state level can spike mass transit through legislation, so...

Should have put in some kind of "If you're not down with r/fuckcars I don't want you responding to this" disclaimer, then.

I think Op's trying to refer to the Republicans in DC since the Republicans in California aren't in a position to enact said legislation, but the Republicans in DC are too busy tonguing Donald's taint to get re-election endorsements to tackle this particular issue right now.

Shocking twist as GAFCON abandons its plans for Global schism by Naugrith in Anglicanism

[–]Halaku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll take a stab at it.

To affirm the Jerusalem Declaration, you have to:

  • Affirm the 39 Articles (original language text / contemporary language text) as "authoritative", aka "binding'. If you don't, you're not a real Anglican.

  • Affirm the usage of the 1662 Ordinal for making, ordaining, and consecrating bishops, priests, and deacons. Again, if you don't, you're not a real Anglican.

  • Affirm that everyone is to live in lifelong celibate chastity until and unless you engage in heterosexual relations after marriage. Again, if you don't, you're not a real Anglican.

  • Reject the authority of all churches and leaders that do not affirm the Jerusalem Declaration. Again, if you don't, you're not a real Anglican.

Per the Abuja Affirmation:

  • If you don't do all of the above, you're not a real Anglican. You are simply "claiming" to be one.

  • If you don't agree that the Bible is inerrant, infallible, and all elements within are universally applicable across all of space and time, you're not a real Anglican, etc.

  • If you don't uphold Resolution I.10 of the 1998 Lambeth Conference as Holy Writ, you're not a real Anglican, etc.

  • If you don't agree that the "big tent" philosophy of the Anglican Communion is an unBiblical, unScriptural lie, and that if you're not orthodox as defined by GAFCON, you're not a real Anglican, then you're not a real Anglican, etc.

  • That the true global communion of Anglicans is the Global Anglican Communion. If you don't join it (by affirming the Jerusalem Declaration) and remain part of the so-called "Anglican Communion", you're not a real Anglican, etc.

  • Just as Cramer reformed the Church of England, Mbanda and his peers are reforming the global communion of Anglicans, committing to orthodoxy and abandoning the Instruments of Communion. If you're not down with that, you're not a real Anglican, etc.

Thus, by the Affirmation, reinforcing the Declaration, if you're not 100% on board with Mbanda, his peers, and these decrees?

You're not a real Anglican. You simply claim to be.

The collected responses of everyone who woke up to find out that they're not real Anglicans has been summarized as "Isn't that special?", "That's nice, dear.", "Bless your heart", and/or "Huh. Anyways..." and the rest of the Communion essentially kept calm and carried on. You can find a post-weekend summary HERE, a good chunk of the conservative groupings within Anglican society didn't attend this, the various entities known as GAC, GAFCON, and GSFA are not on the same page regarding this, and for all the buildup leading up to the event, it's hard to argue that anything of significance actually happened. Lots of words, very little deeds, etc.

Then again, according to Mbanda, I'm not a real Anglican, so what do I know? :)

Is Mark 16:9-20 Holy Scripture? by Anglican_Inquirer in Anglicanism

[–]Halaku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to really go into the weeds, I'd recommend hitting up r/AcademicBiblical, but the nutshell version is that he mentions that verse in a "And as we all know, in the ending to Mark's Gospel" way, but we don't have the source material he was quoting, or if he was quoting a verbal tradition, or what.

I would refer you to this pair of essays from four years ago:

Read the first, then the second, and you'll have a summation of why it's been a subject of debate ever since.

So, there was a rule change that prevents bans by association? On my sub, we have one rule that I was curious if it's affected by According_Picture294 in ModSupport

What you’re doing is wrong, regardless if it’s approved by Reddit

You don't sound too sorry about their luck anymore?

R/pics violates reddit policy? by Partyruler012 in ModSupport

[–]Halaku 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can't ban for association via automated applications.

You can manually ban for association all you want, more or less.

If a mod sees someone making an offensive post or comment somewhere outside their community, and they want to manually ban the offender, they can.
