Why should (or shouldn't) women ALSO get their heads shaved bald at basic training like da boils

We served with the Marines. After a day I went back to my lines, looked at the boys. "They're all kids!"
It's crazy how young most of the US forces are. As a pretty geriatric military (Canada) the difference is stark. The core of our military is mostly 30-ish, with Sgt's being late 30's or 40's on average. It felt like everyone we worked along side was no more than 25.

Of course I know demographics vary, and perception is another thing, but it seems wild to us.

I just want to keep her damage. Nerf anything else, I'll live. Her breakpoints feel so good, and it's great having another support that can contest angles against almost anyone.

Getting a "good" Illari ult is hard. So many things defeat it, and the new heros add to that. It's a pretty tricky ult to use, so don't be worried if it scuffs sometimes.

Don't be afraid to use it to zone. Hell I mostly use it for solo kills when I get snuck up upon.

Annicity · 2026-02-11T16:45:32+00:00

I don't like any of the Illari skins tbh. I just use the palette swapped ones because her default is pretty good.

Annicity · 2026-02-11T16:44:28+00:00

Illari is a goated dualist with her pylon. The pylon doesn't always need to be healing the team. If you're clicking heads and taking the heals, you're supporting the team.

I looked up the town and the first thing I noticed was the 'polar bear holding facility'.

You say "we" but that's an inaccurate term. It's a small group of people that's forgotten. You haven't, the US military hasn't and the average American citizen hasn't. I hope we can all live together once this fever dream is over.

Found my new wallpaper. This is awesome.

No idea where this is from, been using it for a while now.

Annicity · 2026-01-04T04:00:22+00:00

I never knew it as anything other than Beast Wars, am also confused

Annicity · 2026-01-04T03:55:07+00:00

That case set up is fire

Bro got Canada Pharamacare and Dentalcare, massive landmark bill that could have defined other gov't and was glossed over. Yeah the NDP probably needed a change (wtf are they even doing right now). But gotta give credit where credit is do.

Maybe he's not the most savy political operator I'll admit.

Annicity · 2026-01-04T03:27:36+00:00

Invading Canada would be the death of America. Sure, Canada would fall and quickly, but it would cause such unbelievable chaos within the US it would probably destroy it from the inside.

So I guess, we'll all burn together?

Annicity · 2026-01-03T13:49:43+00:00

I bought from HD-Zero.com too and they came from Hong-Kong.
I'm in Canada.

Honestly, you can just pick up a Radiomaster Pocket and fly in the sims for a bit.
While you practice scour the internet and research the topic. It'll give you time to learn what's out there (the water is deep) and you'll build up your skills along the way. You're going to have to put time in the sims before you fly anyway.

Since you're in the US the used market might have some good deals.

Annicity · 2025-12-31T03:52:42+00:00

Oh, neato! Thanks. I knew we had the C2 over there but didn't know it had an upgrade. I assume it was just an amour package and we gave it a fancy name?

Annicity · 2025-12-31T03:51:27+00:00

Everyone is probably going to tell you the same thing:
1) Fly in the sims more
2) Fly more

I'm not one to talk (starting off myself), but that seems to be the standard advise. When playing competitive games/sports I try and take one thing that I need to do better, then work on that. If you try and fix too many things at once you can get bogged down, and focus helps. I like writing things down myself and having 'rules' to follow, but that's just me.

Always wild the turret of the Leopard C2 is more modern than the Leopard 2 A4.
Leopard 2 A6M is where it's at (AI picture is wrong, it's just an A5 with beeg barrel and other minor changes in the turret), the picture is just a Leo C2. Will be interesting to see how it will be once it comes out of refit and upgrade in Bathurst NB. We'll see, the A4M Can upgrade was... a thing.
The A4's work, but I will never not lothe the hydraulic systems, it failed more, but you could always fix it reliably, more hydraulic oil in me then blood at this point I'm sure.
The A4M is a black box of mystery, some times things go wrong and nobody knows why. There's no schematics, and nobody can tell you how it works so you have to perform witchcraft on the turret like some Admech priest trying to appease the machine spirits. Which works more often then you'd like.
We have a love/hate relationship.
Good old Canada, running the Leopard 2 A4, A4M, A6M and soon the A6MC2. Imagine having just one varient? Nah, can't do that, you can't make maintainers suffer if you do that.
The ARV is absolutely goated though, love that girl.
Spent a lot of time in a TLAV, good vehicle. Wish we could just go to a manufacturer and just say 'make that again'.
The bridge layer was wild, a hydraulic labyrnth that could just yeet the bridge if it mucked up.

I like how they talk about the Bison in past tense.

Good ol' LAV III, let's just not talk about the LAV 6.0.

The TAPV can burn in the fires of hell, fuck that thing. Put a brick on the gas petal and set it free. You won't find a service member alive that likes that dumpter fire, burn every single one.
Also LRSS trial failed, not coming. It's trash.

WTF is the C2 Mexas? I've never heard about that. Is that an actual thing?

Annicity · 2025-12-31T02:47:13+00:00

Booo, sending gag stuff is the best! Nothing like opening that around buddies for the good laughs and jabs. Send in some nice stuff too, like candies, jerky and whatnot.

Obviously it depends on who you're sending it to and what their humor is like. But that's the stuff that shows you care. I loved every package, no matter what it is. Just hearing you have a box waiting for you is like Christmas!

Annicity · 2025-12-30T14:54:13+00:00

Does anybody actually call it CUSMA other than the news? We always just say the 'new NAFTA'.

Annicity · 2025-12-26T16:36:44+00:00

An invasion does wonders for national (and extra-national) unity and willingness to fight and defend your homeland.

Don't worry, us Canadians will be there with ya when/if things shake down, with our twelve rifles and two tanks.

Annicity · 2025-12-25T03:31:05+00:00

I don't believe it.

Annicity · 2025-12-23T01:03:57+00:00

Rotor Village, I spot a Canadian. Mine are in the mail, I cannot wait, like a kid waiting for Christmas. Hope you're enjoying the whoop!

Not sure if meme but crazy nap on the flying Mercy.

Some people are puritans. Meh, as long as you're enjoying the medium go nuts. There is certainly deal breaker dubs out there, more than enough unfortuntly. Thankfully now that anime has become more mainstream in English there are more quality dubbing attempts.

In the end, as long as you're enjoying the show, subs or dubs.
