U know what happens if they do that? They kill the first squad that tries to use the battering ram, and then out comes another squad. They have thousands of people.

The reason a gate loses is because it needs to be constructed in such a way that allows people to go through. If it were just more wall that wouldn't be an issue. The issue is that it's in the middle of a city and civilians need to go through every day. If you have a trap you're gonna accidentally kill civilians. All the stuff you're saying is great in theory, but doesn't work in practice.

No matter how much you upgrade a gate, a well used battering ram will beat it. That's how battering rams work.

I was talking about irl. It was just another example of how targeted offense beats broad defense.

Listen. Obviously they knew that. This is not a matter of knowledge. This is a matter of physics. Battering rams beat gates. It's like rock paper scissors. Or us that also too complicated for you to understand?

I mean to be fair they were kinda taking him for granted. They made a deal, then treated him like a slave. He's kinda in the right to feel pissed off.

Easier said than done. Also, did any part of this story extoll the virtues of the beowulf smith's? Didn't think so. Even so, battering rams often just took gates off of their hinges, not breaking through so it wouldn't matter. I agree that the ram should have been more rounded, but the fact that you decided to take issue with it is way dumber than drawing a sub optimal battering ram.

Bruh. Longbow shots pierced plate armor on a regular basis. They made the plate armor so heavy to counteract it that they had to be put on their horses with a small crane/winch.

They could have just used a medium thick tree and it would have worked. That's just how this works my man.

It's just that a horizontal pole will always be stronger than a vertical plank in the horizontal direction. Ur not gonna make a door using horizontal cylinders. That's the whole reason battering rams work. It's not a contest of materials its a contest of shapes.

There was a chunk of time. I think it was a time skip.

I agree that there is a limit on what's reasonable, and fattening your kids is despicable. I also think people should pressure those they care about to lose weight the same way you would intervene in any addiction. I agree that it shouldn't be normalized, but I don't agree that being assholes is the best answer. Different people respond to different types of feedback. I tell my friends to shame me when I eat poorly, but that may not work for everyone. For some, food is their coping mechanism for stress. In that case shame would increase that desire. It's not as cut and dry as you're making it sound but I agree with a decent amount of what ur saying.

Hey man, it's a very small percentage of us that buy all that body positivity crap. It's not hard physically, but addiction is a real thing. I'm working on it, and I've done it b4, but relapses are real. There's a healthy medium between the body positivity movement and being an asshole.

As someone who is quite overweight I disagree. Telling someone you don't know to fix it is rude, but someone who you're close to and care about they're well being it's similar to telling someone you care about to stop smoking.

Wow stories like this don't usually use the actual lovecraftian names of the eldritch gods. That's cool.
