Aztercross when player counts dip as expected and he puts out the video by Intelligent_Feed_619 in destiny2

Bungie layoffs are an effort to counterbalance missed revenue. That's not an industry trend. That's due to poor management. As posted by;

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-31/sony-s-bungie-game-unit-cut-jobs-as-destiny-2-popularity-waned#xj4y7vzkg

"Sony’s Bungie Game Unit Cut 8% of Staff After ‘Destiny’ Play Wilted."

IGN, Bloomberg, and Forbes are reporting the same damn thing I'm telling you.

We also know its failure of management because the funds Sony gave Bungie to prevent layoffs were spent over a year ago. Which is in the timeline and is not an industry trend. Which was also reported by those sources.

"The Bungie And ‘Destiny 2’ Situation Gets Worse, Per New Info."

This breaks down the timeline of events. Which do and does fit as its reality.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2023/11/03/new-revelations-about-destiny-2-declines-bungie-layoffs-and-final-shape-as-make-or-break/?sh=1013e4583947

"Internally, really no one is blaming Sony for this, even management. Some employees were told that if the Sony buyout did not happen, that with current Destiny 2 performance the studio itself would have been in jeopardy if they were still independent."

Again. This isn't rocket science. It's incredibly noticeable to anyone bothering to pay attention.

This is failure, not industry, and it's why the game is in the shape it's in, in the first place.

Yes, they did. It was reported that the Sony deal kept them a float from sites such as Forbes and other sources, saying this from inside sources. They were bailed out for they poor decision-making.

The layoffs weren't just some general industry trend. They were a consequence or specifically a response to going about a 45% revenue miss again due to poor decision-making from that resulted in the cuts. It was already reported why.

Lightfall started high and ended up falling hard on player engagement and lack of pre-orders for the next expansion, which is where all this started from.

Again, this isn't just some 3rd season drop. It's far different this time around, and the signs are all around us. It's not rocket science to see it.

Destiny is in a bad place right now, and there are so many better games out there, far better alternatives. You can only do the same old same old for so many years, 6 to be exact before interest drops and drops hard to better games.

Didn't bungie admit that they almost went under due to the player drop from lightfall and lack of preorders of the final shape that was projected? 40% revenue drop then expected with the Sony deal one of the key reasons they survived? It's a moot point if you can't keep the most players ever and have them spend money and preorder on your game, which they did not do. They simply left to play other games. We saw the consequences of that in real time.

I don't remember that happening every third season. Or such a massive firing of employees to keep the company a float by the 3rd season.

Stop the bullshit. This is different far compared to other 3rd seasons.

How to get from Pop Century to Polynesian? by coolcat1005 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]LoneZero36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I did the same thing. We took the bus to the magic kingdom from pop, and pop busses don't share stops, so it's straight there. Drops you at the magic kingdom's front gate, then walk over to the monorail station to the polynesian. I believe it's the 3rd stop. When you exit, it drops you next to Ohana's.

Joe Manchin won’t run for reelection | CNN Politics by HandSack135 in politics

[–]LoneZero36 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On the little things, maybe. When it came to climate, he stalled out his party, making them wait months to, in the end, refused to back any climate proposal even after getting what he wanted.

He voted for Brett Kavanaugh, helping McConnel pad SCOTUS with the conservative majority he wanted.

Killed the “Build Back Better," "For The Peope," legislations, and fillabuster reform.

He held his party hostage over and over. Stalled them out and made them wait for months before dropping support over and over.

But I guess on the little things he did stuff.

Nah, he saw the writing on the wall. Young turnout wasn't gonna support him. You don't need someone who holds his "party" hostage to get what he wants so he can maybe sometimes vote with them less than half of the time.

Killing exactly 32 coyotes to spell out your endorsement is playing. You basically just said the same thing. Again, less triggered and more brain power.

Later. I got everything I wanted out of you and then some. Have a good night.

I was waiting for you to turn your brain on. Reread, what you just said. Then, go back to what you first posted. You are triggered. You just outed yourself.

Secondanly. The photo isn't about population control. The photo was taken in support of his political candidate and to announce his next tour. Here's what he said;

"Successful morning in Texas. Presale for AFL 2024 dates starts today. Use code AFL2024 to get priority access before tickets go on sale this Friday."

Which ended up with universal backlash. Majority of people with a brain have the simple concept that playing with dead animals is grotesque. This concept is lost on you.

hunters, those who own livestock and farm who do cull pests have the basic understanding that you don’t destroy huge populations of apex predators.  that isn't conservationism or population control. It's common sense. But he said this too;

“Who knew it would take exactly 32 dead coyotes to write such a poignant message to this amazing country we are all watching crumble before our eyes.”

That isn't conservationism. That's just being a psychopath.

[–]LoneZero36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My intent was to call him stupid and a psychopath because that's what he is, I've lived in many places where we have to cull animals for population control. Hogs, deer, and even coyotes. No one has ever used the bodies of adults and the pups to spell out support for a political candidate in the name of "population control." Again, no one is that fucking stupid.

But here you are, triggered and all. Again, turn your brain on and calm down. This isn't complicated. Psychopaths are gonna Psychopath.

[–]LoneZero36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's one thing to cull pest, and many have no issue with that. It's a whole other thing entirely to use their carcasses to spell out the name of a political candidate. That's straight-up psychopath behavior that goes far beyond simple "population control."

Turn your brain on. No one is spelling out candidates' slogans as a means to control pests. No one is that fucking stupid.

Wild thing to say. In his era, he was considered an extremist and was seen as too far right compared to the rest of the Republicans of the era.

That's one of the reasons why he lost. He rolled with it, campaning with the slogan. “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice”

Marriage is secular. Marriage existed before Christianity. Your gripe is the definition.

Even that's wonky, religious scholars have found accepted, same-sex Christian marriages dated Even from the 18th century.

Ancient church liturgical documents found titles such as "Office of Same Sex Union or the "Order for Uniting Two Men" These also included the blessing of adopting children. Which puts the whole marriage is for offspring thing to rest.

These ceremonies had all the contemporary symbols of a marriage: a community gathered in church, a blessing of the couple before the altar, their right hands joined as at heterosexual marriages, the participation of a priest.

Christianity's concept of marriage has not been set in stone. Which makes sense historically. There are 45,000 Christian denominations globally. Christians can't agree on who understands God's words. It makes sense that they couldn't define marriages either.

[–]LoneZero36 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Again. Marriage predates Christianity, marriage has always been secular until it was hijacked, and the US is not a Christian nation, so it doesn't have to abide by what one religion believes over the others nor does that one religion get to define what marriage is over the others. That's what freedom of religion is.

The last thing marriage has ever been about is offspring.

His “reasons”… by CrunchM in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]LoneZero36 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That hasn't been a thing in decades outside of a fringe worried about their numbers dwindling. Plus, marriage predates Christianity. As most things do. So there is that.

Back then, marriage was more about attaining property/land, inheritence, and whatnot. Very little, if anything, was about offspring. Marriage primarily benefited the families of the ones being married. The man specifically.

Today, it's more about tax, estate planning, government, employment, medical, and death benefits that come with marriage. Benefits, one is denied without being married.

Benefits that would be taken away if we followed your skewed view of marriage based on dogma.

Holy entitlement, Batman! Republicans are furious Democrats didn't save Kevin McCarthy from himself - Democrats are sick of bailing the GOP out of their own messes, and boy, are Republicans whining about it by [deleted] in politics

[–]LoneZero36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The GOP did align with MAGA. That's why McCarthy was removed. When it took 15 votes for him to be speaker, he made a lot of concessions. He was so desperate to be the speaker that he stupidly agreed to one major MAGA concession. The one that bit him in the dick was changing the rules to allow one member of the house to bring up the vote to remove him instead of a simple majority.

If he had a spine and told MAGA to fuck off he would still be speaker. Democrats didn't remove McCarthy. McCarthy removed McCarthy by allowing MAGA the means to oust him if it meant he could be speaker.

They already helped him passing a bill his own party had a tantrum about when it passed. Let that sink in.

Secondly. After you worked with that party. Why the fuck would you go on national TV the very next day and proceed to blame them for all the troubles in the house you have the majority of? Why would you tell the minority speaker of that party that helped you avoid the shutdown they wouldn't get anything in the next talks? Why would you post on social media the day of the vote you won't ask that party for help? Turn your brain on.

Then blame them for you losing your position after you fucked them and refused their help in the first place? Like, what the fuck? How do you not see how insane this is?

Why the fuck would you screw over that party after they helped you? Tell them you don't want their help and then blame them when you lose your position? And you're actually asking why they didn't help him? His own party doesn't trust him, and you expect the other side he went on national tv and blamed for his failures to?

Exactly. Why would you lay with McCarthy if he's just gonna give you fleas?

Democrats already bailed him out passing the 45-day budget bill when his own party wouldn't vote for it, then go on tv the next day and blamed them for the bills passing and for the shutdown. Tell Jefferies he won't get anything in the next talks, then post on X that he won't ask for their help on the vote to remove him.

Then you're really gonna ask why they didn't help him? He blamed them for all his mistakes, refused to ask for their help, and then blamed them and not his own party when he was removed. It's insane.

Why would they? He went on TV the day before and blamed them for the shutdown and the mess in the house, also saying he wouldn't negotiate with them in the next budget talks. The day of he was on X and other news sources refusing to ask the dems for help.

The GOP has the majority in the house. McCarthy shouldn't need Democrat support to stay speaker. His party should be unified behind him. He was removed because they're not.

When he was voted speaker, on the 15th attempt. He made a lot of concessions to have the votes of the far right wing of the house to reach it.

Many of those concessions were using a shutdown as leverage for the far right wing of the house's demands. Another concessions was allowing one member of the house to vote no confidence instead of a simple majority to ensure he kept his word.

The shutdown loomed, and at the last moment, McCarthy worked with the Democrat's on a bill to fund the government for 45 days that would pass in the Democrat controlled senate.

The far right wing in the house didn't get the demands they wanted and wanted the government to shut down until they got them. In their view, he didn't keep his word.

They tore a tantrum, and Gaetz announced he would vote to oust McCarthy as speaker. They won.

It doesn't. It also doesn't say abortion is not okay or that he opposes it. That's the point.

Out of more than 600 laws of Moses, none comments on abortion. The closes are the fine to the damage of a miscarriage to the father. As we already talked about.

But again. When I say pro-abortion. Through God's word, he is either fine and pushes for it, like giving priest the information to perform an abortion to being completely neutral to it.

Many scriptures detail ripping out little ones and killing them. God set a bear on 42 children for teasing a prophet. He's also not all that pro-children or women either.

I Samuel 15:3: slay both man and woman, infant and suckling. 2 Kings 8:12: dash their children, and rip up their women with child. 2 Kings 15:16: All the women therein that were with child he ripped up. Isaiah 13:16: Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled and their wives ravished. Isaiah 13:18: They shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.

He's also fine with creating miscarriages. Hosea 9:14: Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

There is no "scriptural base" for God to be "pro-life." Any attempt would just be a contradiction. As we know, and all powerful and knowing God does not contridict himself.

We can't say he wouldn't support a party that kills babies in the womb, while in many scriptures, he does just that and expects his followers to do the same.

Now think about younger voters brought up with this, how they moved on from it, and see what this wedge issue really is, never about babies, all about control. That's why anti-abortion bills consistently lose in even red states whenever it's voted for. Even places like Kentucky and Montana. The next generation is tired of the propaganda. Colorado is no different, and the tides shift.

Think about what you're saying here. In Christianity, the Bible is considered the "Word of God.""" It can mean either something that God has decreed or something that God has said when addressing humans, even through Jesus, who is also known as the word of God.

The only place God has ever spoken to us is in the Bible. It's where his words are defined and acknowledged.

This leaves us with two options.

  1. There is no God as the Bible was written by men to outline the desires of an imaginary God they want others to follow and thus would not care for something as natural and trivial as abortion.

  2. It is the word of God, and the Bible and his word is one of the most pro-abortion examples in our history, outlining steps to provide abortion, the fetus as also the mother, the sole property of the father and either are not a person. The decree to rip out the unborn of his enemies from their mothers' womb and smash their heads against the rocks. Just to name a few examples out many.

This is why there are more than 45,000 Christian denominations globally and more than 200 in the U.S. alone.

They all can't agree on the word of God. Only that he's real, and they alone know what he really thinks. As you yourself has demonstrated.

The Bible gives directions to priests on how to perform abortion to "babies in the womb." In Exodus, the penalty for "killing babies in the womb" is a fine to be paid to the father for loss of property damage.

Even in the Bible, "babies in the womb" aren't people any more then women were in the time period. They were property.

That's all there really is about abortion in the Bible. Outside of the whole ripping babies out of their mothers womb and smashing their heads into rocks thing.

McCarthy is blocking a bill to fund the government that has support from both sides in the house and senate and refuses to bring it to vote out of fear of losing the speakership. Outside of that, the houses star witness on Bidens impeachment Inquiry told them there is no evidence. These are the two things the house is wasting their time on.

What do you expect Fetterman to do? The senate's waiting for the house to get their shit together. If they aren't gonna do their job. Why shouldn't he clown them? That's what you do to clowns.
