The point wasn’t that ranged attacks or siege or cavalry weapons are more important than melee weapons, though depending on the battle or the century, that may well be true.

The point was that when it comes to melee, the weapons used by your infantry was never swords. Swords are prestige weapons, expensive and heavy, wielded by wealthy knights and nobility for ceremonial purposes, duels, or tournaments. The king cannot afford to equip a thousand infantry with swords (the way you see in movies like Braveheart or LotR), and even if he could, the infantrymen have neither the skill nor strength to wield them for an extended duration.

Swords weren’t the weapon of last resort. They just weren’t included in the loadout at all, of the soldiers engaging in melee combat. So what did they use? Spears. That’s probably why the OP says spears are king.

But take it with a grain of salt cause I don’t actually know anything about medieval warfare. It’s just a thing I heard.

Modern conceptions of medieval warfare drastically overestimate the amount of usage that swords saw in battle. At least that’s a thing I’ve heard.

For the record, I don’t think safari works this way. Every incognito window has its own session I believe

We call this pose “the strong arm”

Ah. Thanks.

I don’t get it. Are those toppings controversial? What even are they? Pickles?

Seems like your style of humor

These tumblrs just reply by repeating the same joke almost verbatim. Four times. Shades of r/yourjokebutworse

What is fetching

I thought it had to do with communities

What does it mean “fetching communities on my home instance”?

Also pls pay your cat tax. I need a photo of this allegedly “annoying” kitty

Seems like a cute habit. How annoying can it be? Maybe you should just comply. Kitty gets what kitty wants.

Lol that’s hilarious. Court case will probably just be quietly withdrawn. Or loudly thrown out.

Twitter is in direct competition with Facebook/meta/threads. And Twitter layoffs were 6 months or less ago. And these guys presumably have specialized knowledge.

So it seems like many of the criteria would be met.

Isn’t the FTC in the process of banning non-compete agreements? So the rules that Musk is claiming were broken are on their way out?
