  • I could also see push notifications about adding bleach tablets or whatever to it periodically if that’s your thing. I have a smart fridge (probably the dumbest smart fridge you can get feature wise, doesn’t do much). I can check and adjust the temperature from my phone and get filter replacement reminders. It can send push notifications if the door isn’t shut which would be more useful if I had kids. Just because you don’t think you’d have uses for it doesn’t mean it can’t be useful.

    Again, with the huge caveat that the toilet be capable of manually flushing.






  • Stop overthinking it. Unless there really is some additional context you’re not sharing (not accusing you of that, but I try to be skeptical with tales like these, AITA posts broke me lol) then I don’t think you’ve done anything wrong. Some people just have landmines. Sometimes they know about them, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they realize it was stepped on, sometimes they don’t.

    Even if it wasn’t that and she only wanted a passionate fling and you wanted something lasting, this would’ve happened eventually. It’s hard, but try to remember the fun for what it was and don’t overthink this. Self reflection is important, no doubt, but this doesn’t seem like the time.


  • You don’t get people to wait with a shitload of pounds of force trying to wriggle out and launch an extremely heavy arrow.

    If your arms were to tire, you would be useless as an archer, so why the heck would they even try to do it.

    You’re contradicting yourself or just strawmanning my post as well. I wasn’t talking about tiring from a “fire when you want” scenario. I was clearly talking about tiring from “volley” fire. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, don’t archers use straw men as their targets typically?







  • Let me start by saying I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with the post you’re replying to.

    8 out of 9 of us are either married or in a long term relationship.

    How long? Because many of the points being made by the comments in this thread are talking about how things changed in the past few years. If you got together pre pandemic you wouldn’t have been dating in the environment many are talking about. Even if you got together in like 2021 you may not have experienced it at it’s worst (according to them).

    Disclaimer: I am married and haven’t ever experienced the “dating scene” because I’m with my high school sweetheart. But you need to understand a lot of what the posts in this thread are talking about they’re claiming is very recent.

    That said, this post (the image) is 100% incel propaganda, accidental if I’m being generous.




  • I think you’re strawmanning here a bit. Just because they saying “ready - fire” doesn’t mean they’d always have a huge pause in the middle. It could just be to get a nice synchronus volley. Plus, even if someone’s arms got too tired during it they could just wait until fire was called and shoot a little late. Plus, the person telling the archers when to pull and when to release could easily be an archer themselves or someone familiar with the process and not do that dramatic “pull! … … … … … … … Loose!”

    That said, I have no knowledge about how it actually happened. I’m just saying your arguing against the dumbest version of it.
