i want to build another gundam

For this week's Mega I will be sharing one of my all time favorite fighter planes: the MiG-23. This was the last single engine fighter of the USSR I believe. I will add some information about it each day.
Day 1: Origins
The MiG-23 had the unenviable task of replacing the MiG-21. The MiG-21 was fast, maneuverable, it the most produced supersonic fighter jet of all time, and had an impressive service record with the Vietnam People's Air Force (VPAF) against the US air force. However it would need to be replaced eventually. It was a fairly small and short range fighter, and the nose intake limited the size of the radar that could be installed. It soon became clear that a new design would be needed to effectively take advantage of the new technology and manufacturing capabilities that the USSR had developed.
The MiG-23 was designed from the beginning to carry brand new technologies, even some that would not be available when the initial variants of the MiG-23 were produced. It would ultimately carry a larger and more power radar with look-down shoot-down capabilities, along with the first medium range air to air radar guided missile of the USSR: the Vympel R-23. It also featured a swing wing, allowing it to change the wing geometry in flight to suit supersonic speed and acceleration with the wings folded back, or low speed maneuverability and take off and landing performing with the wings all the way forward, or anywhere in between. A high degree of automation for the time allowed the pilot to focus on combat. One of the coolest features in my opinion though was the integration of an IR search and track system (IRST) which would allow the pilot to find and lock onto airplanes without ever turning on the radar, preventing the enemy from detecting that they're being targeted. The MiG-23 could even launch missiles from beyond visual range (barely) without ever turning its radar on, or only briefly to verify that the plane it was locking was an enemy, using the combination of the IRST and the IR guided variant of the R-23: the R-23T.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

still meowing btw

I wanna wear a dress so bad
But I have to figure out which and what kind and who knows how I'll look...
Maybe look at people with a bodytype similar to yours and work from there? There's not many ways besides trying stuff on to figure out what looks good on you
What women are out here with my body type 😭
Idk, probably a lot more than you think.
Probably not, I have a very accurate self image.
respectfully sister…
From everything I ever read of your posts, I'm 100% sure you don't
Computa, give me pictures of a fat chud with long ass hair in a dress
ok, fat and tall, you’re describing my partner and i! just go up in the X sizes (1x,2x,3,4 etc) till you hit something that fits and make sure it’s long enough to not show more leg than you’re comfy with! fitting rooms will also be a major boon to figure out what fits well, but you’ll need to pay attention to your body and how you feel wearing different pieces. never been to a ren faire but it sounds like a great place to wear something fun!
I am probably going to have to buy something online and hope it works. Don't think I can go somewhere.
you’ll need to pay attention to your body
real and understandable. just make sure you’re able to return it or exchange in case it fits weird, women’s sizing seems extremely vibes based tbh. i’ve bought the same numbered size from two different brands and they fit totally different.
i know, it sucks BAD, i spent years trying to pay as little attention to my physical form as possible, but as with everything in transition, the only person who can tell you what feels right is you. you’ve got a whole community here rooting for you Eggnog, i know you’re going to look amazing!
Bit frustrating seeing my tits when Iook down in my thick T shirt.
Like god, you girls are supposed to be hiding!
The first few months of being in love are so fucking intense. I can't stop thinking about my new gf and counting the days (hours, really) until I can see her again 
Me, depressed about not having an updated LinkedIn profile picture: I wish someone would headshot me right now
Me with more movingposting.
Big move was yesterday, first night in the house was last night. My friend brought his boyfriend and they had a couple fight in the front yard, I think that was partially my fault. My body hurts but not that bad. A couple items were broken or destroyed but tbh I could stand to have less shit. Im gonna be getting rid of so much more stuff lol. Ive been running back and forth from the old place to the new (its a little less than an hour away) for the past week trying to move smaller stuff with my dinkymobile. Turns out I gotta go back again because in the flurry of activity yesterday I managed to miss some second-tier essentials (shampoo, coffee filters, sleep suppliments, ect) so I really aught to go back today...
But that means standing and this chair is so comfortable.

Can we know the drama? 
sighs heavily
Okay so I guess they had been experiencing relationship conflict because their boyfriend wants kids at some point and they don't. What gets me about this is that theyre both in their early (early early) 20s and theyve been together for like 10 months at most? Its the longest relationship either of them have been in IIRC so I guess I get why they would even worry about this? I feel like Im talking mad shit here because I've never been in a relationship^[only technically true, its complicated] and don't intend to^[also complicated] but I've experienced enough to be able to roll my eyes at people sometimes.
Anyways, that wasn't the impetus of the fight. I think they assumed this whole "moving my friends shit" thing would be easier than it was and to be fair, I did too. My buddy doesnt handle heat or exertion nearly as well as we thought they did and mattresses are annoying to move at the best of times and it made tensions boil over.
Saturday I went on a date... it went really well... I took her home...
Now she's got me wrapped around her finger holy shit dude. Hoping to God I can see her friday
Having watched TADC with a "friend", uh
- It was pretty nice idk why I didn't watch it before
- JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX I FUCKING LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!
- .... balls
Had a lot of character arcs recently but since I already talked about them with a person I don't feel like repeating them on the mega. Is this not tragic?

But yeah my mom fucking sucks and literally did this meme to me today. And I'm being literal she yapped for like 7 minutes straight while I remained silent, showering me with dumb platitudes/clichés that don't mean anything cause she's still fucking transphobic either way.
After tons of thinking I have come to the solution.
Kill 8 billion people
I have often dreamed of this. I think with enough people working together we can wipe out the human race. Quite the feat!
What if instead of a MiG it was a FiG and it was a 7/10 dried fruit 9/10 jam
Saying cream like cweam gives me a sense of power
Going speech-impeded Wu-Tang mode
Everything's computer!
They should add an altimeter peripheral to ComputerCraft so I didn't have to set this up for computerized airships. Regardless though :3
sub/dom situationship but the domme is just forcing the sub to take care of themself and go to bed on time
Oh, I think my relationships all go towards me being that domme.
Thats basically what it revolves to, swear to god.
Oh you would do anything I tell you do? Drink more water. Get back on your exercise routine. Sleep 8 hours.
Oh no, that wasn't a hypothetical. She's a stubborn lil kitten. 
that wasn't a hypothetical
yeah half of my friend group is built on stuff like that
Remember to drink your water, girlie. 
We areeee we areee
(Lowkey not enough so thx for the reminder :3)
