Arkadikuss wrote that numerous studies from academies and research teams indicated that games—even violent ones—did not influence actual aggression. He referenced the position of the American Psychological Association, which stated that there was insufficient evidence for a causal link between violent games and serious violence, although the organization recognized a slight connection with some aggressive behaviors. He also pointed to a study published in "Royal Society Open Science" in 2020, involving 28 trials and about 21,000 young people, which found no convincing evidence of a significant long-term impact of violent games on aggression, as well as a study from 2024, described as "Internet & society," involving over 3,000 teenagers observed in four waves. As he wrote, it did not demonstrate that games caused "desensitization" leading to an increase in aggression. The author also addressed the view attributed to Dave Grossman, author of the book "On Killing," that games and media might amplify behaviors of individuals with psychopathic or sociopathic tendencies and also shape similar behaviors in others. Arkadikuss considered this argument doubtful and wrote that a person attacking someone under the influence of a game or film should not be described as "normal." He added that, in his opinion, television, journalism, and journalists could be identified as greater sources of aggression than games. Writing about Roblox, Arkadikuss acknowledged that the platform has shortcomings but assessed that the arguments against it are also weak. He claimed that the issue is not the games themselves but rather the people who may behave improperly in various places. He compared blaming games to banning knives in schools due to the threat they may pose and advocated for parental control instead of placing all responsibility on the games. #gry #agresja #badania (translated)

The author mentioned Pegasus, the #lexTusk commission, illegal envelope elections, and attempts to introduce #immunity_plus. He wrote that these were not random events, but formed a picture of politicians ready to subordinate state institutions to their own interests. He added that this also applied to special services, which — as he noted — should provide protection. #Polityka #Wybory #Bezpieczeństwo #PL (translated)

The ruling of the Supreme Administrative Court stated that the unclear wording of the provision regarding the waste fee cannot hinder the reimbursement of overpayment when the resolution introducing this fee has been annulled, which strengthens the position of taxpayers in disputes with municipalities. #opłatysmiecowe #NaczelnySądAdministracyjny #prawopodatkowe (translated)

Max Hübner wrote that Peter Magyar announced that he would not provide military assistance to Ukraine nor allow the transit of weapons through Hungary. Hübner ironically referred to him as a favorite of Donald Tusk and the "Silni Razem" environment, and then asked whether Tusk-affiliated media and their supporters would attribute pro-Russian sympathies to Magyar, just as, according to him, they did with Viktor Orbán. The author reminded that throughout the election campaign in Hungary he claimed that the geographical location meant that Budapest would not change its geopolitical direction. In his opinion, Magyar's situation was worse than Orbán's: Hübner believed that in the longer term, Donald Trump and Karol Nawrocki could convince Orbán to support the shift towards the energy hub being created by Poland and the USA. In the case of Magyar, as he wrote, there was no such possibility because the politician supported Germany's policy, which was contrary to the Intermarium project. #Ukraina #Węgry #polityka (translated)
