What if they were the most competent options for the job?
He had a disproportionately larger pool of male MPs (134, as opposed to 50 female MPs) to choose from. It just doesn't make any statistical sense that exactly 15 men and 15 women from said pools would both be equally qualified.
But if they are all highly qualified in the first place, then it really comes down to preference. Having someone go into office with good PR is something that politicians have to keep in mind.
I still think it's a slimy move in an attempt to gain political points tbh. I mean, two guys lost their job because they happened to have a penis.

I find it hard to believe that the world powers would enter a resource war when everyone's technology relies on nuclear fission.
Like, I know Fallout is supposed to be wacky and unrealistic, but the fact that America was fighting with China over oil when all their technology is nuclear powered seems a tad odd.

I honestly don't see what's going to stop me from imposing force in an anarchist society. Defensive force and social stigma. If you try to mug me I'm going to shoot at you until you leave. If I fail to kill you, and people find out you robbed me, you will face major social consequences.
If I'm not allowed to do such a thing according to your parameters of anarchism then it isn't really anarchism.
In an anarchist society you wouldn't get away with it. Anarchism requires an extreme societal rejection of violence to even come into existence. In a world where nobody is going to give a fuck that you robbed me, we'd never have anarchism in the first place.
People with premeditated murder on their mind tend to not bother about social stigma. It's like you've convinced yourself that all murders and the facilitation of force happens at the helm of a gun between two people. It's a really fucking juvenile mindset to have.

How's the arts degree going?
A degree? Lol
I'm joining the British army, I'll get proper training but then I'm defecting to underground communist groups in the MENA
Have fun taking shrapnel in the ass by Habeeb.
At least he'd be doing something about the Muslims instead of complaining on the internet about them.
Yeah I'm sure he'll make an astounding impact.
More than being a snarky bitch on the Internet ever will.
I hope you're including yourself in that description.
Seeing how I don't have the traits of a bitch like you do, no. Good job not denying you are a little bitch LMAO
>accuses people of being bitches >is bitching over the internet right now Brilliant

I'm not sure how you could put Season 5 that low?
my ranking would be about the same as Fedorekd's
S3, S5 and S4 are all honestly interchangeable in terms of quality for me tbh. They're certainly not S2 tier but I honestly can't distinguish them qualitatively. The based gub'ner and Terminus episodes are the only ones that stand out for me.

I honestly think S6 is set to be the best season if they maintain this current consistency. It's been an absolute shitshow up until this point but I'm glad they're finally starting to get their shit together. Morgan's backstory episode was fucking fantastic.
Potentially S6 > S1 > S3 >/= S4 > S5 >>>>horseshit > S2 at this rate tbh lads.

I honestly don't get it either.
Entry level /v/irgin faggots like Door just use them to play the elitist card as a justification to shit on Bethesda and F3 despite never having played them.
I guess if you're not into isometric heavily numerical gameplay then it's not for you. Different strokes for different folks.

They're pretty much just protest parties in response to the rigidity of the EU, much like UKIP was. It's the equivalent of a teenager throwing a strop towards his parents about his living conditions. It wont achieve much.
Many of these parties have existed long before the EU and the poll numbers show that it's a little bit more than just a adolescent temper tantrum.
I'm referring to their resurgence, not just their existence as a party. They've pretty much maintained the same level of popularity until recently.
I just think brushing off their resurgence in popularity is a bit dangerous. I think they should be taken as seriously as they take themselves. I don't want to draw a Nazi comparison here because it is indeed weak but no one took them seriously in the beginning and that didn't turn out very well.
Like I said, it's just a temper tantrum in response to the EU's handling of the migrant crisis. UKIP's bout of success lasted for a couple years and now they're on the decline again despite based Farage's attempts to maintain their popularity.

JJ Abrams has potential to be one of the great directors, he just isn't very cerebral, a fundamental component to the Star Trek franchise. Someone like Denis Villeneuve would've been perfect for the reboots, whereas the Star Wars sequels fit right into his capabilities as a director.
It isn't very reassuring to know that his production buddies are part of the project tbh.

I never said you did, however Reach is another widely played Halo game that had a similar level of character customization that had to be unlocked through play time. Therefore it is an apt comparison when discussing Halo 5s cosmetic content and how much time must be sunk into the game to complete the cosmetic armory. Okay sure, it's an apt comparison, but I'm not sure what the comparison achieves intellectually. Both are horrendously designed systems that require virtually no skill. A chimpanzee playing Reach could get to Inheritor provided he had enough time, and likewise, a rich chimpanzee could unlock all of Halo 5's cosmetics. What exactly is your point here? That bullshit designs like this should be acceptable? The fact remains that in a game with a paid short cut you can complete your much larger cosmetic armory in less than half the time without paying a single dime than another game in the same franchise without the option for a paid short cut. This is not at all predatory. Haha what? "You can get to level X in this bullshit system faster than this other bullshit system provided you have the money to pay for it. This is not at all predatory." Are you even listening to yourself right now? You are comparing dogshit to cowshit my friend. You still haven't addressed my points on why we should have micro-transactions as consumers. Reach had a shitty system. We know. Again, why does adding micro-transactions to the shit heap aid anything? This fact alone shows that the games economy was not in any way altered to make the paid option most viable option to receive content. I'm not even sure what this sentence is trying to convey. The pay-to-receive content option was implemented because consumers such as yourself and the Halo community in general became apathetic to the notion for some reason. You meant he same CD Projekt Red that's selling season passes and charging 25 USD individually for their expansions? Great double standard there m8. My contention doesn't lie with season passes or expansions m9, provided they are supplied with enough content, which TW3 most certainly has. Straw-manning my argument doesn't achieve much.

Also going to point out that Joe says "If you do good you'll get maybe 900 points per match". I guess Joe's definition of doing good is a .2 k/d because that's what shows up in the background. A normal warzone round for me nets about 2k req points.
Players that are pulling in 1k/2k a match will still need to clock in 400 odd hours required to complete every cosmetic. Joe explicitly takes a caveat to his playing ability and the capacity to earn req points later in the video. The system is deliberately implemented to have you spend more money than required, which was his entire point. It's predatory, and it's bullshit.
I'm not sure why you come crashing into these threads apologetically slogging the corporate phallus and their bullshit business practices. I've seen you do it for Battlefront, and it's honestly just laughable. I wouldn't be surprised if EA kept you on their payroll.
But go ahead and continue to hand wave off legitimate grievances with "hurr he's just a bumbling retard that has no idea how the industry works" if you actually want to continue reciprocating the standards that us as consumers shouldn't have to put up with.
Which is still less than what it would take to complete Reaches cosmetic armor while providing more content in that amount of time. It doesn't really matter if he says he's not good later in the video because he's using his ability as a measurement of what a good player would receive at the end of a match while doing his calculation on how long it would take to unlock everything. His calculations are just flat out wrong and he's positing them as 100% irrefutable fact.
If I "sucked on the corporate phallus" I'd be defending things like console, region, or pre-order exclusive in game content that has a tangible affect on the game or the practice of cutting up a game and selling cut pieces later for a premium. You know, stuff that actually hurts the consumer.
No, a season pass that lets you pre-order DLC for a discout price, map packs, expansions, or any other content that is not developed as part of the base game is not "cutting up and selling pieces later for a premium". Destiny is a prime example of a real case of "disk locked content" as both TDB and HoW contained content that had not only been advertised at E3 as part of the game, but were already 90% ready to go on disc and could be glitched into well before they launched.
As it stands the 60 USD (or your regional equivalent) price point for a new AAA game can not support the industry. The price for games has gone down dramatically and the demands of the consumer have risen dramatically. It requires more money to develop a game that consumers are satisfied with for AAA games than ever before so developers and publishers need to diversify revenue in order to stay afloat.
If Joe had any "legitimate grievances to hand wave" I can assure you that I wouldn't be the one hand waving them. However as it stands he's just being an entitled crybaby that thinks he's more important and knows much more than he actually does. I mean I really hate using the word entitled to describe someone, but this AAA devs should be giving away everything for free while I refuse to pay a fair price for the type of games I demand mentality can only be described as it.
I never posited the notion that Reach was an ultimate paragon for the Halo experience, so I'm not really sure why you keep appealing to it. It too has a horrendously designed ranking system that is predicated on how much time you have on your hands, not the skills you can apply to the game. Except this time with Halo 5 it's stylised in a manner that renders it more appealing to spend money on micro-transactions rather than taking the time (which requires virtually no skills whatsoever) to complete. It doesn't matter if his calculations are off, as he and I have already told you, because the parameters required to complete all cosmetics still remains (3 million req points). Even hardcore uber skilled Halo players are going to have a difficult time being a completionist in less than 300-400 hours. There is nothing 'entitled' about demanding a game not have bullshit exploitative business practices in an attempt to chip away at the player's wallets. Your point about the industry not being able to sustain itself on a heavily customer centric platform for 60 dollars a pop is absolutely nonsensical. CD Projekt Red has managed to do such a thing in TW3 with half the resources of 343 and no big daddy parenting company to keep them afloat either. Your argument is hogwash.

Halo has been pretty much entirely shekelberg'd by Micro$oft at this point. I'm glad I got off the boat after H4.
$1000 or 600+hours to unlock every armor piece in the game. Just, lmao
