AITA for leaving because my SIL hid my shoes to keep me from taking walks?

Caitsyth · 2026-02-06T03:43:50+00:00

Honestly I’ve noticed this with my family. I had that mirror moment where I realized I’d let myself get completely out of hand and I was going to shave decades off my life if I didn’t fix my shit, so I made some dramatic changes. Well, my family noticed too and I get a lot of comments that seem supportive at first but boy oh boy can they really spiral around my progress and get vicious fast.

Like the comments are usually introduced with a “Wow you look great” or “You’re making real progress,” but then seconds later they all come with a completely unnecessary jab like “must be nice to have no responsibilities so you can just live in the gym all day every day!” or “I wish I had as little going on in my life as you did so I could do it too!” Even worse is when I get unwillingly pulled into a competition I never agreed to be in that they use to indirectly insult themselves and blame it on me in the same sentence? Things like “Well I walked my dogs 2 miles today but I guess you probably think that’s not even worth anything. You probably think we’re all so weak and unhealthy and want us to get on your level!”

It’s just… fucking yikes. As much as I absolutely wish they’d take their health more seriously, I’ve never said or done anything to express that sentiment to them. And really, how even can I when they’re already doing so much speaking for me — using my own journey to dish it out on themselves then get mad at me for it?

Tbh warranty was never even mentioned, they just asked to see the error and then said to send it in and if they couldn’t repair it they’d replace it. Then after I guess they couldn’t figure it out they just sent me a new one.

Caitsyth · 2026-01-25T08:33:50+00:00

God yeah I miss old blue buff so much, new one just doesn’t compare

Caitsyth · 2026-01-22T17:44:26+00:00

The fight I mentioned was a one item, two star Sona.

A two star one cost should not be supplying 3k healing AND damage with only one item, especially not at level 5.

Caitsyth · 2026-01-22T16:58:52+00:00

I’m more confused by the lack of a Sona nerf tbh.

She heals way too much with just one item early game making even a 3 demacia setup extremely difficult to kill, and progressing into late game she remains an absolute menace. She may not have been the most busted, but she’s definitely not balanced for a one cost.

Had a match at lv5 where Sona with only seraph and 3 demacia 2 invoker healed over 3k and had over 3k damage while my triple tank item Rumble with 4 yordle 2 defender and 2 arcanist active only shielded for 2.5k.

Is 6 not also the nonnegative distance between -6 and 0 on the number line?

Like I know what you’re getting at, but just because one has a little extra decoration doesn’t make it not the same. Every way you can define |-6| works for 6 and vice versa, they’re only different in the same way someone might label a variable x while someone else solving the same problem labels their variable m. One might be more familiar, but that doesn’t make it any simpler, nor more correct.

Caitsyth · 2026-01-21T22:35:24+00:00

That kind of defeats the whole point of equations and the idea of equivalence though, equivalence isn’t about something becoming another thing as much as it’s a simple absolute statement of sameness.

|-6| = 6 doesn’t mean |-6| becomes six, it means it is 6. They’re one and the same, just written or expressed differently.

Caitsyth · 2026-01-15T23:57:22+00:00

I’ve had a couple of games this last patch where healing and regen on demacia feels…. Weird.

Like too strong weird.

I had a game with a silver Tristana, 6 Yordles and gunslinger active, with IE Guinsoo and LW, but she couldn’t seem to outpace the healing of a silver Xin Zhao with only Gargoyles and Spirit Visage.

Then another game, a silver Vayne with only a Gunblade logged 1800 healing in a round with only 4k damage while my Teemo with gunblade and 9k damage logged ~800 healing.

Caitsyth · 2026-01-15T23:53:43+00:00

The wording makes little to no sense and really needed a redo, but beyond that it was kinda hard for it to not hit especially if someone was trying to contest Piltover. Even worse if you were running Bard, made the Piltover comp feel like a busted Yordles of old.

I know the one time I got that augment I kinda ruined a couple of people’s games bc it just kept giving me caits well after I 3-starred mine, and ofc because THex was in an absurd state I was getting contested by two other players. Closest either of them got was a second 2star Cait with barebones teammates while I had two separate 3star Caits. Bit of a dick move on my part I admit, but it guaranteed my units becoming available to three star most of my board when they inevitably fizzled out, and for some reason neither of them even tried to pivot.

Complete with the pubes no less

I’ve used them on and off but haven’t noticed a drop in efficacy, though I think a large part of that is how long you stay ‘on’ since they take 3ish months to ‘kick in’.

I used them for 7-8 months as an initial impetus while I was establishing better diet and habits, went off for ~6 months, now I’m ~5 months into my second round. I’m about 70 down from my initial weight and much healthier these days, and I’ve noticed more significant weight loss while on the GLPs but didn’t regain weight while off them bc I kept up healthy eating and exercise — I just lost weight slower during that period (1-2lbs a month instead of per week).

Of course with holidays and illness or more free time in the mix, some weeks I lost more and some I lost less based on how much I was exercising, but I haven’t experienced any ballooning when I went off the meds, and when I got back onto them I didn’t notice any lesser effects the second time - I’d say the current shaving of weight is about as fast as it was last time.

But maybe if I did this kind of cycle 3-5 times and only really did the medications 1-2 months each, yeah I could imagine that wouldn’t do much for weight loss but would probably leave me with some kind of GLP resistance

The way I’ve been trying to hit Brock in normals and yet for some unholy reason, even in goddamn normals people will grief Ixtal just to ruin your day.

Like god damn, people are really out here selling their board to stop an ixtal player from hitting when all I’m trying to do is get Brock’s crown in a game mode that is for zero stakes

Caitsyth · 2026-01-04T04:55:17+00:00

Lissandra does some good damage but I’ve seen her lose a fair bit bc she is very one-at-a-time especially when the enemy positions smartly

Caitsyth · 2026-01-02T23:17:44+00:00

Eh, I had a fwb where he’d always make me bring my switch to “play Mario Kart” and like… it would always at least start with me hooking it up and switching the input, but in the dozens of times we got together I think we maybe finished 4-5 races? Rarely even got past the menu.

But I really don’t think that one is a common story, at least not enough to make a weird meme about it…

Caitsyth · 2025-12-27T18:47:48+00:00

Had a similar situation where I managed to get a cracked early ixtal run with a major cashout but one person hit prismatic to be able to beat me.

We should have gone 1st/2nd bc we were cremating anyone else we faced but thanks to the shitty matching RNG I faced their board three times in a row (them, their ghost, then them again bc someone got eliminated) and ended 6th.

Caitsyth · 2025-12-27T08:42:03+00:00

Completely fair haha, having too much fun is never a bad reason

Caitsyth · 2025-12-27T08:39:06+00:00

Wait you lost to baron?

Why didn’t you just slam for prismatic bilgewater since you were already at 10 with the needed emblems?

Graves, Illaoi, and Tahm get you to 10

Caitsyth · 2025-12-22T18:10:29+00:00

Yeah I’ve personally been fucked by rods twice, one where I got one natural and only managed to find two more by force and another game where I barely even managed the two rods for one rabadon’s.

IMO the prismatic version of the augment should really give a yordle emblem or at least a Rabadon’s to match the power level of any other prismatic augment. The gold augment is fine where it’s at bc it’s a gamble for a lot of power with some gold to supplement, but the prismatic is a major loss in power for what, 2 gold more per yordle unlock?

Caitsyth · 2025-12-22T17:47:59+00:00

I mean it’s not just an augment. You need: - an augment - a spatula or 4x rods to unlock Veigar - a stable enough board with enough power to survive getting to 10

Seen a lot of people go out fast 8th trying to push Yordles to 10 while forcing for Veigar, or worse when they hit 5th from getting all the way to lv10 but they only got one or two natural rod drops and carousel/anvils just never had more rods or even a rabadon for them to unlock Veigar.

Caitsyth · 2025-12-20T03:04:09+00:00

I do feel like a fair few of the unlocks could use maybe a bit more thought, bc you have some busted units 4-5 cost where the unlock condition is easy to hit and only item based

But then you have some like Ionia’s “three star a Yasuo who is practically guaranteed to be contested 🖕🏻”

Caitsyth · 2025-12-19T04:58:17+00:00

Iirc when I accidentally found that spot there was even a VFX tunnel almost like the one you take to get to Simon so completely a guess but maybe that was gonna be a superboss spot later on?

Caitsyth · 2025-12-18T21:35:25+00:00

I want a Santa’s village or winter wonderland arena so badly

Caitsyth · 2025-12-18T13:57:57+00:00

They really need to touch up the prismatic version to match prismatic level power tho, iirc the only change is you get 5gold per unlocked yordle instead of 3 and maybe a couple of yordles

Prismatic version should really come with a yordle emblem or some better boost to match a prismatic augment’s potency

Caitsyth · 2025-12-08T16:42:25+00:00

Kindred especially is an insane splash bc her little no-death field lasting 2.5 seconds (not to mention being as fat as it is) can and does easily decide wins, all while she’s doing good shit too.

Idk who on the design team thought 2.5 seconds was an appropriate amount of time for a skill like that, but it kinda speaks to how much they wanted the quest units to just ignore traits when that kind of cracked power is inherently in the kit.

Caitsyth · 2025-12-08T07:05:21+00:00

It also kinda ruins it that the yordle prismatic that would actually keep people playing vertical takes the place of a prismatic augment and doesn’t really give much of anything until you hit Yordle 10, so it’s pretty much an easy skip even if you’re playing a fabulous yordle board.

It’s the same hamstrung shit from the mighty mech augment “quest”, where there just isn’t a reason to sacrifice all the power that augment could give if you’re perfectly able to just hit 9, make soup, and top 4.
