  • Jesus dude, sorry to hear that. Sincerely.

    I know it doesn’t feel like it now, but things will get better. It will take time, and I know you’ve heard that before, but I promise you it’s true. It will take longer than you think, but each day will get a little easier than the next. Stay the course, and know that it will get better.

    It’s OK to feel helpless, and like your whole life is over, but I promise you it’s not. And it’s also OK to feel suicidal, that’s normal unfortunately. Please reach out to someone to talk to, a friend, a counselor, or hell, call 988 for the hotline to talk to someone about it. It helps.

    You will get through this, your kids will still love you as long as you prioritize their well being and spend time with them whenever you can. The marriage collapsing is not your fault, it always takes 2 and your spouse is just as responsible.

    It’s going to take time to figure all this out. Like real time, on the scale of years. Humans are stronger than we think to recover from things like this, it just takes time.

















  • The purpose of the flight of arrows was to blanket the area ahead of an army advancing to meet the front line of your army. It was mathematically, the only way to have a chance at killing a large number of targets, as being accurate at that range was nearly impossible, even for the best longbowman.

    So they went with numbers over precision. This also allowed them to effectively slow down the pace of the advancing frontline if every time they loose their arrows, they all have to stop and take cover.

    It has a tertiary goal of likely killing any wounded still on the ground. It’s not a technique you’d use when your forces have fully engaged as it’d kill just as many of your units as the enemy’s.

    Finally, it could be used in strategic encounters to force the enemy to stagger/get out of position if you could cause just one part of their advancing line to stop, it’d essentially break or weaken the enemy’s frontline.
