The MiG-21 is a supersonic jet fighter and interceptor aircraft, designed by the Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. Its nicknames include: "balalaika", because its planform resembles the stringed musical instrument of the same name; "Ołówek", Polish for "pencil", due to the shape of its fuselage, and "Én Bạc", meaning "silver swallow", in Vietnamese.
It is the most-produced supersonic jet aircraft in aviation history, and the most-produced combat aircraft since the Korean War. Approximately 60 countries on four continents have flown the MiG-21, and it still serves many nations six decades after its maiden flight.
The MiG-21 jet fighter was a continuation of Soviet jet fighters, starting with the subsonic MiG-15 and MiG-17, and the supersonic MiG-19. A number of experimental Mach 2 Soviet designs were based on nose intakes with either swept-back wings, such as the Sukhoi Su-7, or tailed deltas, of which the MiG-21 would be the most successful. The MiG-21 was the first successful Soviet aircraft combining fighter and interceptor characteristics in a single aircraft.
Nguyen Van Coc, the guy from my last mega, flew one of these.

Love being told I'm crazy for thinking people should be taking covid more seriously
Yeah I’m about to start an all in-person job and I have a feeling it’s gonna be a mask-free zone. To my knowledge I’ve yet to get covid,
Not looking forward to that aspect
You will. I got it within a month of mandates being lifted and so did most of the fucking town.
Sounds better then where I live, everyone in my part of Australia has stopped wearing them, I feel like I'm in crazy town.
I accidentally posted in the wrong comm last time :side-eye-1: :side-eye-2:

guy just yelled "are you a dude or girl?" out his truck at me :meow-knife-trans: most nb-affirming thing all week though
haven't heard so much transphobic language in a convo that wasn't actively malicious before oh my god grandma (cw: discussion of transphobic shit)
like she wasn't debatebroing me, she genuinely seemed curious, but like, god damn grandma don't ask your grand... son, as she'd assume, because I'm not out yet, if they'd date "a trans". please grandma I haven't heard the phrase "transvestite" in 3 years you were referring to crossdressing but still! then she asked me if I would ever be "a trans" and me, not being out, said "I don't know, I haven't thought about it, maybe", and then she recoiled and babbled about grandkids like :what-the-hell:
god damn being a boomer sure does give you a +2 to passive transphobia JFC
In Lego(R) Star Wars(TM): The Skywalker Saga, Jabba the Hutt is a playable character. This makes the game an automatic 10/10.
The main draw is the collectathon aspect, especially in the newer games where open-world exploration is the primary focus. They're relaxing and goofy fun (and always have splitscreen co-op), and generally more polished than you'd expect games like them to be. Though your mileage may vary based on the licensed franchise any given LEGO game is adapting.
For Lego Star Wars specifically, nostalgia is a huge factor too. The first LSW game was both a surprise smash-hit, and the blueprint for everything that came after. I was a kid when it came out and I loved how the gameplay was structured, and rewarded exploration, and also I could be Darth Maul! And hang out in an alien diner! So the new game definitely has a lot of pull because of that, while doing something totally new with the franchise.
It's a pretty good children's game. Don't expect much of a challenge from it, also they change movie scenes with some lego jokes.
I loved the shit out of the very first one (lego Star Wars 1) and they really are a great time
I played a few (the OG Star Wars and Batman) back on like X360, they were pretty fun.
The maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry.
I need to clean my room because it's gross, but the negative psychic energy of my filthy room is keeping me trapped in bed pls send help
the best thing about the 2020 election was neolibs going insane about the most lukewarm candidate, ever
TBH the best part of the 2020 election was the five seconds of pure :sicko-spin: I had after Chris Matthews said that Bernie supporters were going to set up guillotines in Central Park before I realized he was just exaggerating and it wasn't that he knew something I didn't

WHO WOULD PAY FOR THIS? WHOOOOOOO
There’s a japanese show on netflix that’s just “a kid goes on an errand, will they fuck up?” and honestly, I relate.
This little dude went out for food, flowers, and curry. Little champ remembered he forgot something.
I should probably go for groceries tomorrow now that i think on it
So apparently as a poster here who has been around slightly longer than other posters here (At least on the same account, been told that's a factor too I guess), I've gained what the kids call "clout" (Latest Fad). So what can I do with it? Buy stuff?
Cuz if I can't at least buy stuff: What the fuck.
You have slightly more leeway with metaposting and offering constructive criticism to moderators. Also I recognize your username. I believe your posts are more horny than average despite volcel objections
I got alot out of my system early on, but every once in a while still I can't resist alluding to anime booba or whatever when the right opportunity presents itself.
You can exchange your clout for cash if you spin a sob story and have no morals.
If you get minions you can make them shop for groceries for you and run errands.
