aII toasters toast toast, but what happens when there are no longer toasters being produced? will their technology simply become obsolete, with humans moving onto bigger, better things? will toast become a distant memory, written in textbooks of the future as foods us simpler generations ate? who's to say! society is constantly moving, changing, evolving, ideas being built upon, improved upon, theories being proven or disproven. are we but a blip on the timeline? sure, our names may not be remembered, but that's not the point. you can make a change. you can make a difference. you can make the world better, even if you don't know yet. and the first step is to go for it. even if you are afraid of failure. going back to the example of toasters, do you know off the top of your head who invented them? no? have you used one? probably. so, even if you don't remember my name, if I was able to help awnser your question, that is enough. if I was able to help you, even in the slightest way, this could push you to continue with scratch and not give up after the program crashes, and maybe one day learn other programming languages and change the world. everything is a cause and effect reaction, new inventions lead to the technology of the future, and even as the generations of the past are slowly forgotten, their influence lives on to this day, affecting how the world eventually turned out and how it will be for generations to come.

and, without toasters, we wouldn't have toast.

Mmm… kinda. Semi-autonomous is a more better way of describing it.

If you guys are interested in diving into the politics and background of where Hong Kong currently lies, I suggest you watch this nifty video from Vox here. Much of it is covering the protests that have been happening the last year (and allegedly spilling over to Scratch), but it covers some of the history of why it's so highly autonomous.

But it is. Unless you mean it like “Noo, that's sad” or whatever.

I think they mean “noooo, thats sad” but I'm not that sure.

my dad somehow got the v2ray client working on my phone so now even tho my computer decided to die again I can still talk and stuff.

And… I'm 13 now so this needs an update… eventually…

If anyone wonders why my pfp is the thing it currently is, it's because… I honestly don't know. (My original logo is in the banner above)

WDNMD is used when people express anger or disagreement on something.

I feel so bad for the scratchers from China for your question I don't know what will happen but hopefully, China will fix this.
The scratch team needs to remove Taiwan, Macau, and Hong Kong as countries or change the countries into locations. Otherwise, the chances of scratch being allowed is slim
They probably would also have to ban people's Freedom of Respectful Speech as well, as China also likely isn't happy about things like the “Free Hong Kong” protests, though that's not going to happen-

After a bit of thinking, it may be possible that isn't the reason, seeing as Pakistan and India haven't banned Scratch yet over the Kashmir conflict…

That depends on the country leader and how popular Scratch is in the country.

Planning on coming back soon.

India has roughly 500 thousand Scratchers and Pakistan about 78 thousand.

The proportion is small when you compare with China. Or they didn't put it in their textbooks. The leader most probably don't know about it, or just don't care.

Hey folks! We have no new information to share on this unfortunate incident. Until we do, there is no reason to speculate so I will close this. Thank you for your concern.
