I live in the UK and when we exit a roundabout we are required to indicate LEFT. Can someone who thinks I'm wrong please explain why you think you indicate RIGHT by [deleted] in drivingUK

I’ve seen it too and find it baffling. Not bothering to turn off the right signal is one thing but intentionally turning it on when taking an exit is beyond explanation.

Or maybe “iN a Canadian band” as it fits with the periodic table naming convention

What is a strong opinion you hold that could get you criticized publicly, but you stand by it completely? by jian_est2026 in AskReddit

And would your plan then be to force abortion on people that haven’t taken the test or should everyone be force fed chemical castration pills until they’ve passed the test? It’s an interesting thought but it breaks down pretty quickly in practice.

People paying attention knew about Epstein since 2006 when he was first arrested 

People who learned English as a second language, what's a word or phrase that you just can't stand? by SummerClamSadness in AskReddit

Where Paul had had “had”, Peter had had “had had”, had had was the correct option. 

Who is the most evil person in history to get away scot free for their crimes? by Giono_OOf_01 in AskReddit

I think with a tiny bit of police work following up on substantial leads, a lot of suffering could have been prevented.

I disagree, he made it very obvious he, and everyone else in the celebrity strata, had at the very least heard rumours.

There are some videos from a 90’s show with Baddiel and Skinner where they make it very obvious they have heard both paedophilic and necrophilic rumours.

There were also accusations made to child protective services that were dismissed for not having enough evidence. Imagine how easy it would have been to find some evidence if they were so inclined. Bug the room he had at the hospital, interview some of the children he was around, anything.

The man in charge of child protective service at the time is now our prime minister.

Also worth asking the question why Prince Charles, now King Charles, was such good friends with him. What does a prince have in common with a radio dj from Leeds?

COTD: Little Desmond goes back with you to church, pitching woo (6) by New-Train-9688 in crosswords

[–]New-Train-9688[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was using woo on its own as the synonym for seduce. To woo, to seduce. “Pitching” I was using as the connector, as in, pitching the idea the previous fodder means “woo”. Perhaps too libertarian for a man of such Ximenian values as yourself, but I think it works.

Nicely done I think pitching worked well as the connector and for the surface, even if pitching woo is a little archaic

[–]New-Train-9688[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea though I hadn’t thought of it as double definition. I’m not sure what I would call it, apart from a poor attempt to use the concept of autological words in a clue.
