parliament was not conceived by the governed to reclaim power over government
it was conceived by government to replace effective means of deposement with ineffective ones
until there are real, personal, ruinous consequences for betraying your subjects nothing changes
Asylum was designed for cases like WWII, temporary disasters which the afflicted could seek refuge from, and eventually go home. It was not designed for a world of large wealth gaps, easy travel, and NGO lawyers coaching clients on the magic words to say to get in.
“Boil 2 cups of water and add a handful of witch hazel leaves, 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of turmeric. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
Strain and let it cool.
Drink half a cup in the morning and half in the evening.
She always said the special ingredient is honey. Add one teaspoon right before drinking.”
Universal Suffrage and its consequences has been an utter disaster for Western Civilization.
It’s downright disgusting that I have the same voting power as someone who honestly believes “Leos don’t kill, Geminis do.”
We are held hostage by the lowest common denominator because we long ago constructed a political and social system that lies about how no such thing exists. “We’re all equal. We all deserve the same amount of say as anyone else.”
No we do not. And unless we can escape this egalitarian trap we find ourselves in, things will only get progressively worse.
I know it's extremely suspicious that anyone in the UK would want to play baseball, but we decriminalised homosexuality in 1967 so it should not be a police matter.
@Communism_Kills "top vs bottom" is always framed as the top decile against everyone else rather than the far more accurate bottom decile against everyone else
I know this is obvious to everyone that follows me but it’s not just Jason Arday. Academia is 80% fake nonsense. Towers of abstraction with no basis in reality and they believe they should govern the world because they’ve given themselves gold stickers for climbing them
that's all very sweet and poetic but the notion that some corpo suit at microsoft was bearing down on 343 for 15 years insisting they make irredeemable dogshit is absurd
those devs made their own bed and microsoft's fault was not making them lie in it
rip in piss
Halo has flatlined officially today. The weekend has come, and the people have judged fairly. Constant insults, "You don't deserve anything, be quiet," for 13 Years since 343/Halo Studios stewardship.
Instead of celebrating the fandom and Halo, it's been non-stop degradation.
Well, the day has come: you, yes, YOU, Halo Studios, don't deserve anything, and now. Be Quiet and go out of business; pay for your sins. Remember the leadership, for they cost the innocent programmers and artists their jobs. Curse their names.
Rebranding the name of your studio didn't fix the core issue, which was always a leadership problem. Microsoft's incessant need to kill any creative spirit in any of its studios is apparent. Look no further than the rejection of the Golden Goose, Bungie, pushed into the arms of Sony and Activision, the wrongful and borderline criminal destruction of Ensemble Studios the Creators of Age of Empires.
Microsoft has left a trail of broken dreams and hearts. Shattered on the crags of greed.
genuinely horrible idea. if they're not happy with how old content holds up they ought to go back and prune it like they did with ARR a few years back
wow tried the "jettison 80% of your progression" trick and it's a complete disaster. the new player experience is dire
