I’ve yet to encounter a word that I haven’t seen before on that game. Idk how it’s supposed to expand my vocabulary. I don’t even see how it’s a goal of the game, unless you’re actively looking at a dictionary to look for your next guess. But you would know that if you put your brain to work.

It doesn’t ruin my day either, but I totally get why some people are annoyed (including me).

Guessing “cynic” is wayy easier when you also have the option to pick “lynch”. I picked a random example but I’m sure there’s hundreds of such combos.

I could give zero shits about the “censorship”. It’s the fact that not getting to guess “lynch” makes guessing “cynic” that much harder is the fact that I have issue with. But yeah, go off on one example word I chose lol.

I’m not trying to make a slippery slope argument here. I’m just using mild exaggeration to home-in my point, but you already know that. I guess expecting basement dwellers on the internet to be intellectually honest is too much.

It is important because the word-of-the-day can be interpreted as being NYT endorsed, so it makes total sense to remove potentially offensive words from the list. But the guess-list is supposed to be straight up a list of words from the dictionary and last time I checked slave and pussy were still in the dictionary.

I don’t get that at all. They could have easily added the removed words to the guess-list if it was indeed a technical issue as you described.

Because a ton of people care about it?

I would agree if they only banned these words from the answer-list. But banning them from the guess-list is just plain stupid.

but banning them from the guess-list? I get banning them from the answer list but not letting people guess offensive words is just plain stupid

And I’m guessing you are the ultimate arbiter to decide what counts as innovation?

Google and Amazon’s personal assistants are so much better than Apple’s. Despite Apple being the first one to integrate it into their smartphones. Makes me wonder what their game plan is.

lmao the classic ad hominem combined with a preemptive cop-out. The internet does have too many basement dwellers.

I’d love to know more about those sects because I’m surprised, I don’t know of them as a Hindu (albeit whatever the equivalent of Easter/Christmas Christian for Hinduism is). The closest thing I can think of is stuff like the Hare Krishna movement but that was just born out of the desire to swindle gullible white…

Hinduism and Buddhism seem to be doing fine with zero emphasis on proselytizing. And Hinduism in spite of centuries of Islamic persecution.

Idk what counts as special in your books then. GoT season 8?

Have you watched Undone? Invincible? The Boys? I know Wheel of Time sucked but Amazon absolutely produces some great shows.

My parents were very controlling in terms of what I ate when I was young and that wasn’t healthy for me at all. When I grew up and didn’t have my parents policing my food intake, I overcompensated on the side of eating junk food, and I still have difficulty controlling my intake of junk food at times. I can’t help but…
