"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?"

Yeah, teasing. Nobody likes getting their head rubbed, it doesn’t feel good at all, unless you can magically give a scalp massage.

My whole point is that weebs without their head on straight will actually end up thinking headpats are something non-japanese humans do to their detriment

it’s hard to watch

White men fueled by coffee and nicotine, armed with slide rules and smarts, created machines to last the rest of their lives. Now those have been inherited by their children who wonder if they can push them to go 2 or 3 lifetimes instead.

I do notice that the whole SLEP talk thing seems to have subsided. Wonder if it’s on the outs, and they’d rather just buy new F15s and use the dying fleets as an excuse for more 35’s. I still believe a lot of their GWOT flights were meant to prematurely age the fleet to strongarm congress into giving them more F35s to begin with

cool goth gf but I have one already

Hey just reminding you guys that the one terminator movie from the future war actually had some A-10 dogfighting

headpat art is cute and all but don’t ever translate it to IRL behavior. Headpats are distincly jappy, they’re standoffish and don’t like intimate touching as much.

Americans are “huggers” to foreigners, we have a lot less distance as a norm, so you don’t have to settle for headpats - which aren’t enjoyable, girls hate you messing up their hair.

I’m more for back scratches, people tend to like those in my bunch. Headpats IRL are uncomfortable

yeah kids are pretty cool

I’m on board for meming this guy because he’s got a very uncool-turned-cool look like he arrived here stright from the 1970’s

and who knows, some argies are kinda basado

Soyjak ascendence in the libshit realm is a fascinating, if disconcerting phenomenon

hmmm, do you have a 14-mb, 20,000px by 20,000px collage describing theme for me?

They Do have a vision diagram…..you cannot see the wing. So..cool? Not sure what queues you would use to park, other than the idea you don’t need them because you’re not landing on tiny GA runways in the middle ofnowhere

…..most of us in this ecosystem left “normal” so far in the past we’ve forgotten it even exists

I think I made a name for this problem, can’t remember though. Guys tend to make really byzantine, indecipherable graphics because we’ve spent years on 4chan collages packed, artificially hyperenriched with data to the point we forget what it’s like for a normie to parse an image like that.

Simple is best for stuff like that, a lesson we always seem to forget (myself too, just did it)

from what I heard it’s like a myers briggs test, so there are multiple choice, nonsense options like “sometimes I stay in the bath too long”

or “sometimes I have trouble letting go of grudges”

Read up on it because that’s something I heard about years ago, might have been a pilot project. Read up on the guys who failed it and maybe give it a go NOT answering like a white man, mentally load up a diff. culture like indian or nig and answer everything like them.

I looked at my chick’s ipad and she had drunkenly looked up “best wine pairing for heinz baked beans” with searches really focused on pairing the wine with JUST the beans
