This is great for younger kids or people who are unsure of the set up process. For the "gamer" in your life plase let them set it up. It's part of the process and allows you to begin to understand your new system. For me personally, I love this part. All the logging in an the new sounds and notification noises. It's enjoyable.

Yeah please don't open my gift.

Lame. Are you seriously going to divorce your spouse on a hunch?

Nope

Gotta have that first time unboxing experience

And stay off their phones. No one above 12 does that.

Not much considering it has little to no practicality. It's not integral that we know it anyway.

OP throwing a tantrum now because I inquired too much on how this should affect me and others.

"Useful" information to you is trivial to the rest because of how impractical it is to most people's lives. Im asking you the practicality of it and here you are being pissy because you don't have an actual answer on how this can be applied to daily life.

My apologies for inquiring too much on how this could benefit me, since it seems it doesn't benefit most people at all outside of "mayhaps there be a life changing injury on site of the non-life threatening incident"

True, the distinction is there, but it doesn't change anything much except for the people affected by it.

Dude you are not the gate keeper of useful information, go touch some grass and stop sorting by new to shoot down posts people think up

And how does that impact the person?

"Oh there were non-life threatening injuries", I doubt most people who aren't involved in the incident would go "but were there any life changing injuries?"

People who weren't aware of this distinction can use this information to become better informed when presented with a story thusly phrased

It doesn't really answer the question of what's the practicality of it to be a life pro tip

Pretty sure you can piece together that severity of the incident, and use multiple news outlets to see how severe it really is.

I’d like to encourage anyone who wants to put surveillance on their partner that they suspect of cheating to listen to the podcast Bad Bad Thing. It’s only 6 episodes.

Story time! I got lucky and made a ton of money off the market a couple years ago. Decided to finally leave my abusive significant other. She started putting a tile tracker in my car to try to spy on my location to make a case that I was cheating on her to scare me into giving her as much money from my retirement/investment portfolio as possible (even though we were only together for 15 months, had no kids). Moral of the story - if your ex starts accusing you of being somewhere at a certain time and you have no idea how she might know, it’s time to shut your mouth, get a restraining order, and let the lawyers duke it out. Nothing good came from trying to convince her of anything other than the scenario she had already created in her head. Left her 2 years ago and I’ve never been happier.

My ex husband was sneaky. I’d find hidden alcohol and drugs, online romances, etc. It made me nervous all the time. I couldn’t just walk into a room he was in, use a shared computer, or even put laundry away without finding the next cause to feel hurt. I still had those nervous habits when I first met my current husband. We talked about it and he encouraged me to make every effort to raid his privacy. In the 16 years we’ve been married, I’ve never once uncovered deception. If I ever walked in on him bumping uglies with someone else, I’d sooner believe that he tripped and fell in! My advice: when someone tells you who they are by words or actions, believe it.

I thought that on my initial read as well, but when I noticed the gap and read some of their other replies, I saw the original post differently.

It's possible to have "suspicions" without losing trust, and for those suspicions to have reasonable and true explanations due to miscommunications and differences in perception. Advising people to break up because of suspicions alone is terrible advice. Note that there is a lot of ambiguity here in how we all interpret "suspicions" as well, which means not everyone is necessarily talking about the same sort of thing.

I decided to add something like this comment to the post instead for increased visibility, disregard the below content.

Some clarity:

When disasters happen the news will say things like "there were no fatalities and only three injuries, and the injuries were described as non life-threatening." Those injuries may well still be horrific, but the news will often phrase it like that to soften the scale of the event.

Spying on partner or demanding a second by second replay of the day is like putting spouse on a performance improvement plan (PIP). The trust is broken. Really the only purpose is for either is documentation to justify going your separate ways. It can happen but rarely does anyone improve under scrutiny of such actions and moral for all goes downhill.

What the fuck does OP expect us to do with this information?

That's not what I said though.

Of course, no one is under any obligation to stay with anyone else, ever.

But, for a cheater to be the one that breaks the trust, and then say "if you don't trust me, you should break up with me instead of spying on me trying to discover the truth", then that's manipulative. The cheater, in that scenario, wants the best of everything: the benefits of infidelity, not getting challenged or being proved to be a cheater, and not having to initiate the breakup themselves, so they can reap the benefits of both relationships as long as possible.
