Like any common capitalist. Money is all.

Reminder that the Canadian populace is about 1/10 of America's.

If in some freak alternate timeline where we actually to get absolved into the States, we 100% lose all autonomy as Canadians and our political preference would be thrown to the wayside and completely outvoted.

It's one of those things where, it it was do e right, the system would work fine.

They have managed to fumble it so badly that the easiest solution for the cities traffic problems have been made worse by it instead.

It shouldn't take me an hour to go down the parkway.

Even then, you need to have 10+ years of workplace experience coming out of school. The standards have been lifted to nearly unattainable heights for things that people with less qualifications would've gotten 30 years ago.

You put the Peeps in the chili, they make the chili taste... bad.

I'm going to say something probably incredibly offensive, but I have the safety of my funny online username so it's ok.

The people are only "chosen" if you subscribe to their beliefs. If you're insinuating that Native Americans aren't "chosen" either, then you've forgotten that they actually use a picture of you in the dictionary to define "hypocrite".

You are allowed to question peoples' beliefs, but you are certainly NOT allowed to take harmful action against them because they are different.

And to be perfectly clear, I am not commenting on which side of the current conflict is entitled to what. I'm not touching that conversation with a 12ft pole.

History is wrriten by the victor, and unfortunately, if you have money in this world, you're winning.

Damn shame this comment section turned into an EOS battleground. This game is worth a hell of a lot more than that.

Have I ever made it further than tier 4? No. Will I start new playthroughs countless more times in an effort to? Hell yes.

Destiny 3: They have said several times over the years that making a Destiny 3 would not make sense, so there were no plans. Only thing that ever mentioned there was work happening on a D3 were leak accounts.

Considering it an overreaction is a bit subjective I suppose, but since what said was they are announcing things at the same rate, save for pre-TFS, all we had were the names of upcoming expansions... I don't see how I'm contracting myself. Unless you mean the leaks, which should always be taken with a grain of salt if you are to believe them.

I say it is an overreaction because, sure, they had a decade long story, but more than half of that was by the seat of their pants, *constantly * needing to stop moving forward and needling to fix core elements of this game. Curse of Osiris infamously almost killed D2, and without the Go Fast update and Forsaken returning everything people loved from D1... Game would've died.

I implore you to look back on Forsaken and see that it was just... Fixing D2. The campaign, while having some incredibly memorable story beats, was just... Not good. A bulk of the campaign consisted of Lost Sector like missions in the world that had you killing most of the Barons, with some bigger set piece missions spriklnkled in there.

All I'm trying to say is the only difference between now and then is that we had expansion names up front. Otherwise, about 6 months out, we would get our reveal, and them more info from there as we got closer. If anything, they are talking about Frontiers ahead of schedule. Usually wouldn't expect anything until like... November/December.

They are in damage control mode, trying to push update son content faster, but with less staff to do it. I imagine it's hell in Bungie HQ for the devs. Fuck their leadership though.

I feel as if the "lack of clear path forward" is a bit over an overreaction from the community.

They dropped Lightfall, and people feel burned, saying they'll stop playing after Final Shape because Bungie never learns. Add the 2 layoffs into the pot, and the player hemorrhage isn't about the path forward. This is just the first time the players haven't known the 3 year plan in a long time.

Bungie is still announcing plans at the same rate they used to, the only difference from pre-TFS is they gave the community the names of 3 expansions ahead of time back then.Now all we have are leaks from some twitter accounts and the title of the next year of content.

AFAIK, they are talking about what "Codename Frontiers" is either today or tomorrow. So yeah, no future plans is not really the issue. They have been saying for a long time there will be more D2. The reason people haven't wanted to play is everything else surrounding the the game (Bungie layoffs, etc).

Source: 3500+ hours of D2, and the ability to read and retain information. A seemingly rare trait in the D2 community.

It's like seeding but irl

Genuinely not sure why people are lining up to argue you on this. Its not even opinion, just facts.

If anything, it's about time us white guys have to fucking struggle a bit. I'd just like a world where we can collectively pull our heads out our asses and stop voting the wrong people into power.
