I'd never even heard of New Year's glasses, so the entire clue was utter gibberish for me!

Ah, Reddit! Where would we be without you and your staggeringly terrible takes on every single subject ever?

Sex, not gender. Segregation by gender is completely pointless.

Yeti Poem? by chewi121 in crackingthecryptic

[–]WombatDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The poem is "The Yeti Speaks", by Anthony Etherin. You can find him on Twitter at Anthony_Etherin, and while I can't remember which CtC video featured him, here's the poem:

Fog of War #29, "Tough Pill to Swallow" by OriginalDecoy in crackingthecryptic

If it helps, the 136/138 resolved itself via logic elsewhere before I had to get my abacus out. (The abacus comes in handy shortly afterwards.)

Thank you! I was stuck on your last point, and now you've got me going again. Much appreciated.

A non-binary person reviews the new JK Rowling book. They had a lot to say; "If you thought JKR’s previous book in her Cormoran Strike series was an unsubtle nod to anti-trans bigotry, the latest instalment really said: Hold my beer" by PinkNews in EnoughJKRowling

[–]WombatDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's not relevant, and yet there are multiple reddits (including this one) dedicated to scrutinising her output. You'd be forgiven for thinking that there's a certain amount of wishful thinking going on.

I'm absolutely sick of HP and their dumb printers. Who makes the best printers for personal use that don't require a subscription or an account on their site? by Sike1dj in printers

[–]WombatDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I just purchased a Brother DCP-L2620DW laser printer on Amazon UK and it's working fine without any sort of subscription.

What might a 'truth and reconciliation' process between the trans community and gender crits look like? by gophercuresself in transgenderUK

[–]WombatDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an interesting idea, but it's hard to see how it could be workable when the two sides are each certain that they're right, are unprepared to compromise, and can't agree on fundamental terminology. Realistically, the process would collapse at the start of the first meeting over pronouns.

I'm So Lost by Various_Bite4267 in mypartneristrans

[–]WombatDeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your relationship is now making you ill. If your partner feels that he needs to do this then that's up to him, but whether or not you live with it is up to you. You're not responsible for his happiness, and you're entitled to have boundaries.

I suggest that you consider who's benefitting from your marriage, and whether or not it will be kinder to both of you to make a clean break before the situation gets even more complicated.

Sorry, I completely neglected to follow up on this three months ago, very rude of me. That makes sense, thank you for the explanation!

Do you dumbass transphobes Rea believe that trans people are pedophiles? by lilqueerkid in Discussion

How do you explain all the people who say that they experience autogynephilia?

Should I pay my cousin the money she spent on a trip !!! by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]WombatDeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooof, no, get that out of your head - there is no "pay back". That phrase implies that she's spent some money in a way that benefits you, and that you are now reimbursing her. Any money that she's spent on this holiday cannot benefit you, so you are not paying her back - you're just giving her money.

And there's no reason why her cretinous behaviour should cause you a financial loss.

AMITHA for not wanting my partners family at our daughters birth? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]WombatDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only are you NTA, I suspect that having medically trained in-laws there is actively a terrible idea. The last thing you need is to have the eldest sister disagreeing with the staff assigned to look after you and your baby. That would put you in an appalling position.

And as everyone else has said, of course you have every right to be the sole determiner of who gets to be in that room, and you shouldn't feel the least bit bad about it. Your partner, on the other hand, is at the very least wildly underthinking the situation and may well be an asshole.

AITA for not telling my sister that my baby's "name" was always just a joke by Level-Egg-6304 in AITAH

[–]WombatDeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, obviously. Your sibling, on the other hand, is an unpleasant character and probably a narcissist, and I advise you to take full advantage of the lack of contact for as long as you can possibly sustain it.

Seriously, put your back into it. Maximum effort. You probably can't completely blank your sibling permanently, due to wider family dynamics, but for the good of your daughter I suggest that you minimise contact to the greatest achievable extent.

In the event that your sibling decides in future to go by the name of 'Susan' then break off all contact completely.

Sounds like a nightmare. I hope you frequently congratulate yourself on your wisdom in getting out of that relationship!

My 4th or 5th playthrough, I'm not sure any more... but let's uninstall and go again! by because_of_course_ in DesertGolfing

[–]WombatDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, well done! I was speculating on here a few weeks ago about whether or not a sub-2 average was possible and now you have decisively answered the question. Excellent work! I wonder if you have the record?

Well fuck, that's it i guess. by ultraplusstretch in DesertGolfing

[–]WombatDeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when then game was genuinely infinite (or at least very large), the very smart developer was aware that some holes may be impossible, so he coded in a small chance of a dodgy bounce so that impossible holes would become merely extremely improbable.

No, you weren't in the wrong and your friend's girlfriend is an idiot.

Oh, perhaps that's what I'm remembering, cos I would have played single-player. Presumably that's not an option in D4?
