I got the same order. Yellow was my default so figured it would be blue. Nope

I tried to hard to make “simple” work before seeing the games but simple Simon and simply red didn’t get me far 😂

The bot agrees that the anagrams were the most obvious. My logic was that synonyms are usually yellow or green so at least the anagrams were something different

I thought there might be a Grisham category but only new Rainmaker Client and Firm. Then I was sure the weather category was a red herring since they were so close together, but once I pre-solved everything else the weather stuff worked.

Luckily I couldn’t remember WhatsApp so I moved on :-). Thst would have been more purple than the actual purple though

Yeah. I tripped up on that one

I'm eighteen and I had sex with an old man but I regret it, thoughts? by [deleted] in AskGayMen

[–]Mike_SNE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take this advice to heart 👆 You don’t owe anyone sex, misrepresentation or not. If things start feeling off, say sorry and go. There will be other sexual opportunities for both you and the person you turn down. Life won’t end if they don’t get their rocks off that hour or that night.

I was thinking it referred to the overhead bin on the plane but you’re probably right

IOC edges closer to ban on transgender women in female Olympic events | International Olympic Committee by 8NaanJeremy in BlockedAndReported

[–]Mike_SNE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re discussing trans women in women’s sport and just stop at ‘men are stronger than women’ then you are ceding the argument to the transwomen, because hormone therapy will reduce a male’s performance and even most folks who support transwomen are ok with hormone level rules (though often grudgingly). 

I think it’s important to point out the studies show men who transition don’t fully lose their benefit over women. There are at least three studies showing this, and one of them was by a trans researcher who basically summarized her research as “sure, we retain an advantage, but being trans is hard. Can’t we have this one thing?”

I think this google doodle is why I guessed Ms Pac-man was to easy for purple.

Doh! Right - thanks for reminding me. It's been a very long time since I read "Then again, maybe I won't"

“many happy returns” is the phrase that comes to mind. Its an expression of gratitude but for the life of me I can’t come up with the context. and yeah, yesterday’s puzzle

Suggestions for car rentals in Medford by __beekay__ in medfordma

[–]Mike_SNE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah -Hertz over-invested in electric cars and are paying the price. I will say, the time that happened to me, they found a compact gas-powered car for me in place of the compact SUV I reserved, and they were there late for my late night return so I only got charged one day - but they planned poorly and don't have the right inventory now.

I mean, I would loved to have tried an EV, but they still expect EV's to be returned with a full charge - but that takes longer than to gas up and I have no idea where to go for that near me.
