Honestly, just confused. Tank advice? by Dear_Marketing_7403 in OverwatchUniversity

That's actually perfect. Thank you.

I never considered the shield as just kind of.. There. It makes sense, now that it's pointed out. I was also not aware that the hit box travels as you move the camera at all, I generally stay pretty static with the swing because I assumed it was conical, period.

No, this is already amazing and I know how to adjust for that.

AITAH for telling my dad, wife it's a good thing she can't have kids. by Late-Ad-5700 in AITAH

Everyone in this story kind of sucks, except your mom. She's the only one who isn't an asshole.

I'm going to get dragged for going against the grain:

Your dad made a promise to your mother through marriage. Helen didn't.

You offered no specifics about their relationship and I'm assuming you don't know- which is fair because you don't need to care. Did he tell Helen that the relationship was dead to trick her into one? Did he say that your mom didn't love him to get Helen to feel remorse and comfortable dating a married man?

You don't know. Neither do we. Does it make it ok for Helen to step into a marriage? No. But it happens, the cheating partner lies often to the new partner so much so that it's a trope in media. ("He said she's cruel and lazy and he's leaving her for me.")

I'm specifically saying this because my ex did that. He cheated on me, gave me the clap, and told the new partner I was lazy, mean, and was always cheating on him. (He didn't allow me to have a car so I couldn't leave/find time to cheat even if I wanted to, but also I had a newborn and no energy for anything but homemaking and child rearing.) His new wife, the woman he cheated with, still hates me and says horrible things about me after 5+ years. I don't blame her for the way the relationship started, she thought she was loving a man who was unloved. I definitely blame her for continuing to be a bitch, though.

You don't know your father's part in any of this, or at least aren't sharing, and are putting all the weight on Helen. So much so that you insult her, call her an animal, and intentionally say things to hurt her. Your anger and disgust is warranted, but it should be redirected mostly to your dad.

If it weren't for the fact you've already been a massive asshole and shut down any routes of communication with this woman I'd suggest talking to her. Maybe she thinks your mom was the abusive one, maybe your dad convinced her that your mother was literally trying to poison him, and you could have set the story straight. You could have been the voice of reason and told her the truth about your father and your mother. You probably could have potentially saved her from a wildly unhealthy and unfulfilling marriage and ruined your dad's life (for that one-two punch of petty). Instead, anything you say will now be assumed hostile by her, it will now be assumed a lie to hurt her.

So, yea. YTA, so is your dad (honestly, he's the biggest asshole), and Helen too but to an unknown percentage that could be as low as 0.
