It seems that no one can decide on a deal and that your government is just continuously trying to delay Brexit until they can get a government in that will just decide to take Brexit away. At least from an outsiders perspective, it feels like Johnson is telling Parliament to quit fucking around. After reading several articles they still have a window (a very very small one I see) to get a deal passed but that remainers just want to stall cause they don't want either a deal or no-deal.
That's not what's happening. The opposition MPs (which include leave supporters) want a second referendum (as opposed to just revoking Article 50 outright), because of the fact that parliament can't decide on a deal. They feel that ultimately the most democratic thing would be to go back to the people with a new referendum containing options for No Deal, Deal, and Remain, as this would be the easiest way to break the deadlock. It's been 3 years since the 2016 referendum, and the public knows so much more than they did back then, plus all the stuff with the leave campaigns breaking the law and whatnot. What Boris is doing is bypassing that and making the decision for everyone. He is completely undermining our representative democracy with this action, and it's revolting.

If they didn't have to listen to the referendum why did Cameron leave? It's dishonest to say you'll have a vote on what the country wants and after it goes through say "Well I don't technically have to follow it so up yours." It just makes the vote look like an over-glorified polling.

The referendum WAS over-glorified polling. Nothing about it was legally binding, but the public was led to believe that it was an actual "vote". That's why MPs for so long were afraid of the prospect of a second referendum of revoking Article 50, because people had been led to believe that the 2016 referendum was absolutely final. Cameron left because he felt that the Prime Minister to deliver Brexit should be someone other than him as he led the campaign to remain. The only reason David Cameron promised a referendum in the first place was so he could use it to win back votes from UKIP in the 2015 election.

The only reason why people like Boris and Nigel want a no deal Brexit is because it means the UK can be turned into a tax free haven.

Rich people are fucking scum.

>vote for brexit
>government stalls for 3 years
>obvious they're attempting to subvert the will of the voters
>elected official stops government from stalling
>omg death of democracy
I mean, that's not at all what happened.

52% of people voted TO leave, but not HOW to leave.
If anything the vote of HOW to leave was the 2017 election, in which more than 50% of people voted for parties that favoured remain or a Brexit deal over No Deal, which said parties rejected as the worst possible outcome.
In the meantime, parliament has consistently rejected No Deal in indicative votes, etc, and the government's own reports into the consequences of a no-deal Brexit have shown that it will be a disaster for the country.

Now, we have a Prime Minister elected by a vastly unrepresentative (majority old, white and middle class) 0.1% of the population getting permission from an unelected monarch to suspend democracy for an unreasonably long time so he can push no deal through despite the majority of people and parliament having already shown their rejection of the idea.

Also, the referendum isn't the fucking "will of the voters", it was never legally binding and it's already been found that the Leave campaigns broke electoral law and manipulated voters leading up to the referendum.

when are they going to add crossplay to this game
They've said they don't have any plans at the moment (aside from Cross Save) but may look into it after Shadowkeep launches.

Played the intro mission(s) and did the chores at the Tower.

Impressions: Music is nice and the visuals are pretty. The map feels empty with no reason to explore. I'm hoping this will change in later levels.
Played the warp-drive mission and was surprised to see other people on the map with me. They did the mission for me. Did I lose a bunch of potential XP or everyone gets equal XP regardless? They were lvl40 figting against lvl2 Fallen.
Is there an introvert mode I can toggle so I can force a solo experience?
I don't think so, but it shouldn't be an issue. Most players will reach level 20 before the final mission anyway.

Wow rude
I'm not really sure what you're asking.

I guess since I'll be playing the free version do I keep my progress from Destiny 1 and 2?
The New Light conversion applies to all accounts (essentially a soft rebranding of the game) so I imagine you would keep your progress.

So you used to view your Grimoire on b.net but they then took it all out? WTF, why?!
I posted a website earlier on with all the Grimoire cards on, but also in D2 the lore is viewable in-game.

Got both games for less than £9 each.
Probably still paid too much. Will post my thoughts once I'm done with them.

Is a 100% solo play through of the campaign realistic or you have to play with another person?
You can do the main story solo, really it's just raids and some side or exotic quests that need to be done as a fireteam.

lads it's all fucked

corbyn's no confidence vote will likely fail because lib dems and tories are spinless and care more about their parties than the country, boris will be able to slip no deal through, he'll win the following election and we'll descend further into the tory hellworld

sunk costs

although this really highlighted how the rest of the game isn't so grindy, i've started two new characters in the past month or so and it really didn't take that much time to get them both to max level while still having stuff to do with them
