"How'd I get here? Ah, it's a long story. I graduated from UMSOT (Undergrad MS Operator training) and test pilot school in '77, back when it was on side 6. Oh, yeah, back then it was something different, we didn't have mobile suits back then, it was MWOTC... Anyways, when the war started, I was a ball pilot for a few weeks, flew three sorties and scored a lucky kill on a Zaku I, and 'cause I was the only one with a kill under my belt, I got chosen to fly with some secret squirrel things on the White Base (back then they just called it the Pegasus). Turns out in order to work on that top secret, feddie zaku ripoff, we couldn't be active EFSF personnel. We got discharged from the service so we could fly for some private shell company. Yeah, we lost MIL benefits, but the pay was so good we figured we'd go for it. We had three weeks to study the manuals and get trained on the simulators while we flew out to our assignment. They put me on the RX-78(a3/4) , but when we were en route to rendezvous to Side 7, the EFSF gave me my walking papers. Turns out, get...get THIS shit: They didn't "need my services any more." Can you believe that? One of the only guys trained on their new, crazy invincible MS, and they fired me.They tossed me, an ace, a qualified TEST PILOT out on my ASS. FOR A G/D FOURTEEN YEAR OLD. Yeah, you know who?! It was the doctor's kid, right? Remember that Tamm Ray guy from the training videos? Yeah, he got HIS kid to be the gundam pilot. Oh, no they tossed all of us. The entire team of mobile suit pilots, gone. Didn't even reassign us. So we're sittin' there, just lookin out the window, watching the stars go by, just angry as all hell, y'know? Fuming. I get an idea, right? So I says to the other guys, who cares? The zeeks need us more than the feddies do, so I went up front, showed the captain our discharge papers, and turned that sum'bitch around. Anyways, long story short, boy do those GM's explode easy! Oh man, jokes on them, the feddies drafted a LOT of stupid 14 year olds to drive those death traps.....so uh, what brings you to Axis?"

It’s like permanently affixing your favorite graphic t-shirt to your skin for the rest of your life.

Nothing will ever be that much of a constant.

I was dumb, had plenty of wife-options but kept holding out for something better, not realizing I should’ve just listened to dad all along and molded a good wife out of good stock.

Even as a teen I planned on getting married kinda late, like 28, just because I didn’t know how to reconcile my rebellious “don’t lecture me, woman, I’ll do whatever I want” attitude with being a husband. (another lesson actually, they go together pretty well)

It’s just gross how nobody seems to take fertility seriously. The loss of fertility should be mourned, instead they just tell teenagers “awww shucks, anyways here’s even MORE birth control, you’re probably sterile, but as long as you keep taking BC pills you won’t be uncomfortable!”. She said they almost treated it like she was lucky, and her mom could rest easy knowing there wouldn’t be a teen mom under her roof - like she even hung out w/ boys to begin with.

Just a nasty, foul system, and all this “women make for better OBGYN’s!” shit is apparently a total farce

A whole lot of food in restaurants in the US is just shitty, commercially purchased frozen stuff, not actually prepared in house. Most of the “dude I LOVE this little mom & pop place” recommendations are just the same thing - people with a deep fryer and a corporate account to buy everything in 20-lb bags. That’s where stuff like appetizers often come from, AFAIK it’s not uncommon for entrees to be in the same boat. So frozen sauces for spaghetti, lasagna, maybe?

I was never a food guy so I only pick it up in bits and pieces, but I’ve eaten out with enough grossed out culinary nerds to understand something is up

I make them ask me for it. Although I don’t really do the anger thing so much as the funny thing. Everyone gets a kick out of it, unless they’re just pity laughing at my jokes.

It’s good to have a “nah, it’s not fun talking about ugly stuff” and having them actively request an update. Good filler for conversation w/ family, and at this point it’s a security notice for the parents in the family

Gonna eat nothing but meat and watch Horimiya (I think she’s still sleeping it off)

Guess I put the tiny bachelor crock pot to a bigger task than it was built for.

SHIT GUYS THEY GOT ARMOR PIERCING A/T DILDOS NOW TOO

“Oh gotta paste this news clip, this is great!”

What do you call it when everything about a manga pretty much sucks, but the art is cute?
