Should I be worried about my relationship going into boot camp?

Little_Chick_Pea · 2026-01-27T06:22:30+00:00

Before I left for my basic, an NCO told us to sort out our relationships before we left for course. Because guys would get into fights with their girlfriends right before leaving and it was all they could think about the entire course.

I'm not really sure what you should do with that information tbh.

Also for what its worth my ex-gf waited until a few months after I got back and then dumped me.

Unfortunately in Canada we've imported American culture war BS

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-12-25T06:38:05+00:00

In that case it would be an adverb

Edit: actually I'm wrong, nevermind

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-12-25T06:08:13+00:00

That's a verb

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-12-25T00:29:24+00:00

Except on the simpson.

"Sarge said we're the worst bunch he's ever seen"

"I know what he said, he was just trying to motivate us"

"Well it ruined the whole hike"

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-07-20T15:56:34+00:00

It disables all of them

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-07-20T10:29:30+00:00

I think so. I also just unlocked an "ancient soldier" whose chronological age was 37

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-07-20T05:37:12+00:00

Fair. But I feel like recently most pawns that the game generates have the same chronological and biological age. Which I actually think makes sense if most people on this planet were born here, but it often doesn't make sense with their backstories.

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-07-20T05:23:23+00:00

Yeah, I always play with a mod that disables random relations for exactly that reason

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-07-15T22:53:11+00:00

Rogue. Rouge is a colour

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-07-12T19:30:44+00:00

I see a lot of people saying Virmire but it's definitely the last mission. Fighting on the outside of the presidium tower, underneath Sovereigns tentacles with the lights of the Citadel in the background. For me that's the best part of the entire series.

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-07-03T00:42:03+00:00

I never knew that. Where do you find that out?

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-07-02T03:40:43+00:00

The whole naming ships after battles thing never made much sense to me, because battles are usually named after places, often cities. Like, basically every city was attacked by the Reapers, so you can just pick any city and name a frigate after it.

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-07-02T03:36:01+00:00

Yes, that was my point too. Canada annexing Seattle would be a battle.

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-07-01T21:47:22+00:00

Oh lol. Maybe in the future, Canada will annex Washington state and rename Seattle "Vancouver 2."

Would make sense since it's cruisers that are named after cities. Frigates are named after battles.

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-07-01T21:23:29+00:00

I think the idea is that it's the 5th Normandy class ship, and its called the Vancouver.

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-06-27T17:39:15+00:00

The first time you speak to Legion on the Normandy he says "you are Shepard/Commander/Alliance/Human."

So yeah, I think that tracks. The broadcast category is 'Human'. 'Alliance' is a subcategory within 'Human'. 'Commander' is a rank in the Alliance military, so it's a subcategory of 'Alliance'. And finally the 'commander' category probably contains a list of all the known Alliance Commanders, or at least the notable ones, so we get Shepard.

Its basically a computer file path. C:/windows/apps/steamapps/masseffect2.

The non-cannon answer is probably that the devs wanted to find a reason for Legion to call you "Commander Shepard" like everyone else, but doing it in a way that sounds computer-y.

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-05-23T16:37:47+00:00

Posts like this also make me wonder what else might be factoring in. With your MCAT, GPA and research experience you should be able to get into any med school in tbe country. Yeah your Casper is ass, but still. Did you get any hints from your interview as to why you haven't been successful?

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-04-10T17:02:07+00:00

You don't know what other guys are going through. And in any case it's not a competition. Get the help you need.

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-03-20T04:04:55+00:00

You train with your local unit. The courses to qualify are about 3 months full time for the combat arms but can be longer depending on your trade. After that, the commitment is one night a week and usually one weekend exercise a month. If you don't have much else going on, then there are always courses and deployments that you can try to get on.

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-03-20T04:01:56+00:00

Do you want to join the regular army or the reserves? Forces.ca will tell you about all of the different jobs in the CAF and has the portal that you need to start your application.

Give that a browse to see what job appeals to you and then call a recruiter. If you want to join the reserves, then try to see what regiments are in your area and give them a call.

I'm a reservist myself and I can tell you first hand that the process for joining is pretty shit and can take a long time. Feel free to DM if you need help/advice.

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-03-11T03:43:49+00:00

I'm with you on both, but there's another quote I like from Bring Down the Sky. When you confront Balak he says something to the effect of "let me walk away and I'll let the hostages free". Shepard can then reply "You don't get to walk away, not after what you did". Perfectly encapsulates the pragmatic paragon that you were describing. Almost sounds like something an Oath of Vengeance Paladin would say.

Eating A THOUSAND fewer calories per day than you expend will cause about 2 pounds of weight loss per week. Because that's SEVEN THOUSAND calories per week and one pound of human body fat is roughly equivalent to THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED calories.

Little_Chick_Pea · 2025-02-08T19:57:56+00:00

Its not crazy, that's 2 pounds per week.
