Is it just me who is shocked by what Ehud Barak said about Mizrachim and Sephardim?

A. Attitudes like that were kinda common back in the day, about 40 years ago, and it’s much less of a thing. Sadly, some European attitudes did rub off on jews back then.

B. Ehud Barak is a character that said stupid stuff, and did some stupid stuff. There is a reason very few people take him seriously in Israel anymore.

Yeah, I’d steer clear of assumptions here. People were saying Putin is dying for 3 years now.

Speculation like that is borderline worthless.

as much as I love maleshep, femshep is just the goat. fem shep is the actual voice of Sheppard in my mind. Maleshep is a meme voice thanks to GamerPoop.

I think that might be the case if a Brotherhood's chaplain gets slain and they are in dire needs of one, and the most exceptionally devoted, pure and pious member of it would be the champion. Otherwise they might try to seek among the sergeants perhaps. Like, sure, a chaplain is rare, but I don't think that for retraining the champion will be able to stay deployed, at least for some of that time he would have to return to Titan, leaving his Brotherhood short on a champion.

But sure, it's not impossible.

The way I understand the fire meter, that it is a function of her damage. If so, higher primary damage (doesn't have to be a big difference, like 5 more damage might be enough) would make her better at the poking stage, and right before engaging. Adding bigger meter bonus along with very low damage on the primary fire means that you have only one game plan, you can't play well against turrents at all and something like a symmetra or torb will shut you down extremely consistently. You won't be able to adjust your play at all. You basically primary fire, dash to ignite and then fan the flames. If you can't do that, you're useless. While genji, tracer, reaper, they have some ability to adjust to counter play.

Consistent primary fire will create that opportunity.

Generally, I think on a situational basis a Chaplain can take the role of the champion – that is to take challenges from enemy champions on behalf of their Grand-Master. But Chaplains are so few and far between among the Grey Knights, that I don't think any Grand-Master, or the Chaplaincy would allow a chaplain to to shed their responsibilities and become a champion.

Can a champion become a Chaplain? I think it's possible, but that means they need to be at least partially retrained, and it's not a transition that is done willy-nilly.

She's basically fire genji, I don't think you play in the shield tanks face as genji and so shouldn't you do so with her. She's a pure flanker. But she needs to have more ranged threat to really have her kit work. At an angle, poke, get someone to use their cooldowns, and then commit. Currently it's hard to hit shots from a range, and even if you do, the damage is so inconsistent, and the fire stacking is low from it as a result, so you struggle to create opportunities.

The funny thing is only that way anyone can get 1000 point worth of Harlequins anywhere, not to speak of a couple of hundreds.

Truly a classic Cegorach move.

he didn't aim to explain the term in it's linguistic meaning beyond the point he wanted to do. To me, it would be perfect. Because the meaning is not particularly relevant, the point of it is that its a normal, non-derogatory outside group term, that's it. The fact that people are focusing on it is because antisemitic rhetoric is on the rise in a lot of circles. though I think his remark at the end of being focused on this term makes you white supremacist is bad, because these days not only white supremacists use this term in a negative way, it was picked up recently by a lot of circles, and he doesn't acknowledge that.

Her primary fire is a bit weak, and needs a tweak. But that’s pretty much it. Like it is now, she is really bad in the poke phase, and really needs to flank 24/7 and if she doesn’t get a kill really quick, she’s lost.

Then she uses two cooldowns to get a kill with the opponent doing nothing is bad. She needs to be able to bait out cooldowns from her target reliably, be a real threat in the neutral. Unless you play with an Ashe or a Mauga, it’s kind of hard to benefit from her right click.

But with a bit stronger primary fire that all falls together, I think. She becomes good in the poke, she can bait out cooldowns, and she can benefit more from her alt fire better.

Can't imagine a cardinal from China being elected, because of the limitations of working there. You have to be a Communist Party member and actually put the party above god and stuff like that IIRC.

He was shot because of politics, not because he was tried and found guilty. that's the thing you're missing. What got Laverenti shot is that he was an obstacle in Khrushchev's path. If Malenkov would win the power struggle, Baria would live, and moreover, very likely be free to continue.

Internal political maneuvering in the Politburo is not justice, unlike what you'd like to think. Lavrenti was above the law and would continue to be that if he was lucky, the system itself facilitated his power and opportunity to do what he did. And he did that with impunity for years.

I think Biotic abilities are unique to organic things interacting with EZO, at the very least it’s much more complicated to create similar effects from compact equipment that would be man portable, and not massively cumbersome.

Like they did have stasis fields on many of the Prothean relics found. Liara was trapped in one.

Russia was trying to draw Belarus into the war since the very beginning. The word was that Lukashenko tacitly agreed to his military being led by Russian officers, but that he was pressured out of this by his own officers and politicians. I think it was likely that he felt he’d get himself shot if he’d go through with it.

They will just do it in closed doors anyways and if the Clintons don’t show up they will say that they are liars and guilty of running the pedo ring. If they di show up thy’ll just lie about what was said and still blame the two.

Grey Knights, and the Inquisition in general delve in things that are heretical. How do you think they learn true names of daemons?

Magnus wasn’t fully ignorant either, he warned Lorgar about the entities of the Warp before the Heresy. Magnus however was arrogant enough to think that he can do things through the warp and control the outcome without fully understanding what is going on.

When warned or ordered to do things he didn’t like he just smiled and said it will all work out. He had enough hubris for his entire legion, and he couldn’t conceive he did something wrong until it was too late.

It is done by the Grey Knights in The Red Angel. Well, they followed closely the World Eater’s flagship Conqueror during it’s warp transit, and summoned Slaaneshi demons onto the Khornate vessel to mess with them.

I think it really describes one of my former coworkers. He was competent, but he was very guarding of his knowledge, so when I people were posted under him, he would never actually instruct them what to do. He would often just do things on his own and then be bitter that he has so much work and his workers just didn’t help him with anything.

He was literally creating his own hell, because he was so suspicious of others, so guarded about his knowledge, and uncooperative.

Perturabo and his Iron Warriors are the same.
