And fuck ISO for charging so much for access to them.

It’s such a cruel thing that compliments from partners don’t feel the same as compliments from strangers. My wife has been telling me parts of my body are attractive for agres, but I didn’t really internalize it until I heard it from others as well.

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.

I mean, it could be. Imagine getting a push notification when it overflows. The lowest pipe in my house is a toilet. Luckily my wife was nearby but it could’ve gone worse if we didn’t see for a bit.

I mean, obviously a manual handle would be a requirement, but I could possibly see it? Like the idea of an app controlled bidet is not that far fetched because they have a lot of buttons and settings (obviously I want physical buttons too).

attacking someones personality (that they don’t know at all) is typically done by women.

Miss me with this misogynistic bull shit.

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?

My best guess is that she wanted things to be slow emotionally and has baggage associated with Valentine’s day.

All that but getting a handie.

They’re likely describing the 45+ group which they mentioned being the exception.

but she cancelled because I asked her to be my Valentine on Valentine’s Day.

You can’t just say that and not provide the rest of the story. Do you have the transcript still? Because either you’re lying or this is the wildest thing ever. Either way I think we’d want to see.

I take it you must be one of those women

This just icks me out. Do you believe men can’t be out off by what you said? (Not that I agree or disagree with what you said.) It just feels nasty to assume the dissent is from women specifically.

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.

Fire! Wait-

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.

Big brain comment right here. Did you write that before or after seeing OP did that? Did you write it before or after seeing that I told someone I used the term goober because I was keeping it light hearted?

If you don’t want the scenarios that are readable in a business requirement format then it’s not worth the trouble. I haven’t ever seen anyone use it in that way.

Cucumber can do all of that. Except for failures over time but I’ve never used a framework for that. CI tools typically track that.

On that same page is Gherkin which is what both examples are. (I may have gotten the syntax slightly wrong.) Cucumber uses Gherkin. I forget which is which exactly. Maybe Cucumber is the code that reads Gherkin and executes step definitions.

For whatever reason, people try to make a small number of extremely flexible step definitions which leads to scenarios that don’t actually read as business requirements. (Which is the entire point in the first place.)

Given a user has a bank accout
And the account has a balance of $10
When the user attempts to withdraw $20
Then the transaction should fail
And the account should have a balance of $20

Given a user has a bank accout
And the account has a balance of $10
When the user attempts to withdraw $5
Then the transaction should succeed
And the account should have a balance of $5

Given a user has a bank accout
And the account has a balance of $10
When the user attempts to deposit $5
Then the transaction should succeed
And the account should have a balance of $15

Doing something like this is more elegant. The steps definitions would be

• a user has a bank account performs setup tasks to load a test user into the system.
• the account has a balance of X would either load the account with that much or just make an initial deposit.
• the user attempts to withdraw X/the user attempts to deposit X would both perform those actions. If it’s a web API they’d be HTTP requests.
• then the transaction should X would check HTTP status code. You could make this two separate step definitions or have logic based on the word. Two separate step definitions is probably better.
• the account should have a balance of X checks the balance in the account.
