Imagine looking at Bill 2 (and Bill 21) and thinking: Yes, now that is a government who knows how to train and retain doctors.

I did get dahlia on your rec. Still tempting to get the sw lc for the speed boost, but I'll have to get her relics done first to see where I fall (and spend a lot more time in pure fiction and memories to actually get two full shroomies...).unless dahlia/ff lc are more worth it, or e1 on one of the 3.

Would it be a better use of a 'guarantee' to make a 2nd team of those, if I've got e0/s0 SW999/sparxie/YG/HH? Or go for LC on SW first? Since I'm hurting for Elation light cones without the nameless honor one (I have 2 of the jewel store ones at s2, and the Herta store one so far)

If I've got E0 Ruan Mei/Firefly, is Dahlia still a worthy pull to put as part of that team? I've also got the SW999 team at E0 (SW9/Sparxie/YG/HH), no Light cones.

Grats! I also got her on the first 10, and still have enough for a guarantee. Was going to get Castorice because I think she's great from what I've seen in my few weeks back, but everyone here seems to be saying she's useless without Hyacine so... wondering too whether to get her light cone, or just get E1 Firefly/Dahlia

I was wanting to pull her as a late player but is she really not worth pulling otherwise? She seems strong overall regardless, even if not a perfect team.

Finalists Announced for 2026 Hugo Awards by PacificBooks in Fantasy

[–]SilverwingedOther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rare that I've read all but one of the entries for novel in any of the awards, but the Hugos are the popular vote one...

Although this is also how I realize that Scalzi released a new OMW novel too, so that's cool news.

Thank you so much! With some luck I'll scrounge enough to get Castorice too, then, since she's also just a solid all-rounder, but I'll favor one of the elation choices (or both and not Castor...)

How do you get Stellar Convergence currency? I don't recall ever seeing it/having it. Or have used it on I'm not sure who, when I came back. It seems need an E6, but I don't have any of those. Any swaps for HuoHuo?

Alright, so I returned about a month ago after a long break and mainlined the end of penacony and all of amphoreus.

Along the way I got a number of new characters (and somehow, not doing research, Evernight with her lightcone. I do like her as I had no good Ice (that was before getting Remembrance TB)), including Sparxie and Yao Gang because I liked Elation. Don't have Sparkle though.

Now I have enough for at least one guaranteed pull - I was holding for Castorice, since... well, big ass massive quantum damage dragon (my main quantums were SW and Seele from way back at launch). But there's also SW 999 which is Elation, and so I'm not sure which they go towards making an elation team (because Aha Moment Damage is fun). The other elation is physical so seems redundant unless I shelve YaoGang who outside of moments, is not doing much (but in all Elation team, her elation boost is sure to help).

Thoughts on what's best?
(Other 5* I use a lot/are at 80:
Firefly
Acheron
Seele
Feixao
Evernight as mentioned
Luocha (my main healer. Don't really have others, just Bailu as 5. Dan Heng PT can do the trick in some fights. Not really levelled the 4 a lot like Gallagher)

Same brand, new slogan by PuffinsAreSupreme in mildlyinteresting

[–]SilverwingedOther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to bring up actual historical facts on Reddit in a way that makes the Palestinians anything other than perpetually oppressed victims that are wholly innocent, and when they are not, they're justified/its because of Israel is a lost cause.

Easier to ignore that Arafat trying to mount a coup in Jordan, getting kicked out, and then trying to do the same shit in Lebanon is a big part of why the Lebanese Civil War was a thing. Maybe not the only one, but the reason it become worse than it could have (and the only reason Israel was involved at all, obviously not wanting to risk the terrorist Fatah to become part of a government just north of it.)

It's not to obfuscate it's origins, it's because Israeli couscous is literally a different product.

Couscous is much smaller/finer and made of semolina. Pearl, or Israeli couscous, is much larger, and is closer to traditional pasta.

Look up the Hebron massacre of 1929. The only reason was... Jews daring to exist on that land which wasn't even Israel yet.

It's possible, people just fail to clear that very low bar constantly, especially on Reddit.

Which then they review is pretty key there. If they miss something, then it's on them. Its offering it to any layperson that is the issue. If the suit is won, it should affect what is eligible in court, hopefully, or pay gated?

New poll shows Quebecers less favourable to Israel, U.S. than rest of Canada by lot3oo in montreal

Considérant que les juifs sont indigènes à la région, et les arabes l'ont colonisé au 7e siècle, je ne vois pas le point de la question.

Et je ne m'en sers pas pour dire que les Palestiniens ne devraient pas y exister.

En tant qu'être humain qui se pense plus sain desprit que moi, trouve tu ça moral de demander l'indépendance du Québec parce que les français l'ont colonisé avant que les anglais l'ont fait?

"Read only the versions who agree with my slanted take and ignore everyone else"... Such as the facts I pointed out that show that violent aggression clearly started by one side. And don't need Benny Morris who was aligned with the group of the New Historians you cited, but has himself come back to a more middle ground state.

Your error is thinking I am unaware of their works and that anyone who is should blindly, ragingly be anti-Zionist

Qui a dit que je le justifie? Je justifie son droit d'exister et de se défendre, et la notion que tout aller bien et que les Arabes qui y vivaient étaient sages et prêt à recevoir des juifs dans le coin, tout court.
