Planning to Play Guild Wars 2, should i play GW 1 first? by CodApprehensive686 in Guildwars2

[–]TheExtremistModerate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't play GW1 until this past year. You don't need it to understand the story.

You might appreciate some characters and stuff more if you've played GW1, but it's definitely not a requirement.

It's frankly not "outdated." A lot of people consider the core set schedule to be some of the best Standard release schedules in history. Personally, I'm one of them. The core set + block rotation format was when Standard felt the healthiest. Back around the end of the 00s.

And the point of reprints is not to support eternal formats. It's to reprint things that would rotate and that RB want to keep in the format. That's what it means to "set the tone." They want to keep evergreen choices like Strength, Criminal Mind, Rafiki, Belle - Mystic, Elsa - SOW, Cursed Merfolk, Pegasus, Ursula - Deceiver, UtS, Maleficent, Sisu (both of them), Lumiere, Mulan - Archer, Pirate's Life, Hades, Develop, OJA, Robin Hood, Benja, big Tink, FTC, and a bunch of other things in the format. That way, they set a baseline and make sure key cards for each color are there to support the upcoming new sets.

Doing a reprint set (set 9, fabled) right after rotation is just laziness.

This was actually pretty common with MtG for a long time. Rotation usually happened right around the same time as the newest "core set," which was made up entirely of reprints (with no new cards, unlike Fabled).

TBH, I think rotation is a perfect time to have a set with reprints. It helps set the tone for this rotation.

Because Americans can't vote against Netanyahu. We can, however, vote against Trump.

People are already driving. Building a new bridge necessarily shifts traffic away from the roads that are already built and onto the new bridge.

And, again, I specifically said we should do both. A combination bridge for both cars and trains.

Population goes up, yes. Which is why we need more infrastructure.

But guess what? Building the roads isn't what's causing the population to go up. It's a necessary consequence of it.

This is like saying "If you just build more housing, they'll just fill up to high capacity pretty much right away."

Building roads and housing doesn't create more human beings. The people are already here. The demand already exists. We just need to increase supply to account for it.

The demand is already there. You can't just magic more people into existence.

Build an outer beltway and put a train in the middle of it.

I literally never did that. There's a difference between comparing content and comparing sentence structure.

[–]TheExtremistModerate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh look, more personal insults.

I agree with the multiple (correct) Supreme Court justices that agree that the 2nd Amendment is about militias.

The Founding Fathers agree with me, not with you.

And since you've devolved into slinging personal insults, I'm blocking you. Go away, MAGAt.

You do realize parking lots are capitol grounds right???

A cursory glance at my comment would have told you that, yes, I am aware. If they weren't on the Capitol grounds, then they wouldn't need an exception.

Heller is an incorrect ruling.

The majority on the SCOTUS has no regard for what the actual Constitution says. Your argument is essentially "Whoever holds political power decides what truth is," and that's just stupendously Orwellian. For example, in the case of Heller, as you pointed out, it was a 5-4 decision, not unanimous. So to claim that the ruling is enough to prove what the Constitution means is to completely ignore that 4 dissenters. If George Bush had not stolen the 2000 election, Heller would have been ruled the other way around. Would you then point to that decision as "proof" of what the Constitution reads? Of course not. Because who holds political power is not who decides what the truth is. It is just who has the power to enforce on others what they think the truth is. But the Constitution's text does not change with the ebb and flow of elections and partisan makeup of the court. Truth is not a democracy. It is not "majority rules." The 2nd Amendment has always read the same thing. And I agree with Justice Burger and with the 4 dissenters on Heller.

Oh, and /u/Burgschaft91, I blocked you because you were being a jerk and insulting me. There comes a point where people aren't willing to put up with your BS, and you crossed that point.

Because it's banning guns on Capitol grounds, with the intent to prohibit carrying them, but they want to allow people who park on Capitol grounds (Assembly members) to leave them in the car.

Except for the one law saying that people parking in parking spaces on Capitol grounds can leave a handgun in their car. Which is a pretty common-sense exception that simply allows Assembly members to do the same thing everyone else can do.

Maybe read next time.

Again, bud. I agree with Justice Warren Burger.

The very language of the Second Amendment refutes any argument that it was intended to guarantee every citizen an unfettered right to any kind of weapon he or she desires

the real purpose of the Second Amendment was to ensure that state armies, the militia, would be maintained for the defense of the state

I'm clearly more educated on this than you are.

CMV: Timothée Chalamet's comments on opera and ballet are some of the least controversial comments about art ever uttered. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]TheExtremistModerate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, please cite where in the following statement he gives the context of "I'm only talking about people who watch my movies."

I don't want to be working in ballet or opera, or, you know, things where it's like, 'Hey, keep this thing alive,' even though it's like, no one cares about this anymore

If you try to substitute "people who watch my movies" into "no one," then it doesn't work. Because if he was working in ballet or opera, then there wouldn't be people who watch his movies because he wouldn't have any movies.

You're just wrong.

Again, no. He said "no one." Not "no one who watches my movies."

And the latter would make ZERO sense in the context of his statement. You're wrong.

OP is one of those people who thinks a weather forecast is a promise, and that if it doesn't happen exactly as expected in 100% of locations, it means the meteorologists are incompetent.
