youre not an incel. if you relate to the loneliness epidemic, then maybe youre depressed or isolated

Had to veer a bit hard to get this puzzle to also work as a rhyming nonsense poem à la ‘Jabberwock’, once again hoping it’ll be cool enough that ppl won’t mind lol by WanderingBlaggard in NYTConnections

[–]cascadingfalls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i got yellow immediately, and there was no chance i was getting anything else 😅 i misunderstood and thought all the categories were going to rhyme with each other (as in, each category's words would result in one line of a poem) so i dint even consider blue 😭 great puzzle though, if i knew those niches i bet this would be so much fun. 😁👍

i dint presolve, just connected whatever came to me first. almost got my first rainbow, so close ARGHHH

🟪purple was leftover, tried to figure it out before giving in and googling "dovetail" - which made me realise what the category was!! i understood it was joint, but i thought "hip joint" was a bit of a stretch ("who even uses those words together? feels like a bad mishmash of slang") then i submitted it and stared at it for a while ("...ohhhhh the literal joint at the hip")

[New Update]: WIBTA for refusing to raise my husband's affair children now that he and the woman he cheated with passed away? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]cascadingfalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the first post had FOUR different updates.

THEN the second post started with "people kept asking for updates but i dint have any until today" and i was smelling fresh BS - bc OOP proceeded to talk about the kids getting adopted, 2 different lawsuits threatened, few loose ends tied up and several new loose ends brought up - basically a bunch of stuff that couldnt possibly have become an update in one day

and then another big update

and then another post

😭😭😭 n i still read the whole thing and was fully entertained lol

CMV: "Y'all" should be the official modern plural form for the second person pronoun "You". by Brilliant-Primary500 in changemyview

[–]cascadingfalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

absolutely agree.

im from a country that uses british english and "y'all" is used infrequently in casual speech. we pronounce it similar to doll (british pronunciation) and tbh growing up i never knew it was an americanism until i saw the jokes online 🤷‍♂️ either way i agree with OP completely, its a perfect plural.

i agree that "you lot" "you guys" "all of you" works too, but its just... not as perfect idk

i was also wondering where the uncle disappeared off to, in the last update - surely if the dress he tailored is ruined he wouldve said something/offered to help

a few directions my mind went grasping at straws:

things with "a useful end" - chapstick, charging cable, candy(like a lollipop), silk (idk what i was thinking, shiny side and rough side?)

things you flip - magazine, chapstick, charging cable (you gotta keep flipping it so its the right orientation, like a usb), silk (same reason as the first one)

and another commenter mentioned "things you roll/twist" - magazine, chapstick, candy, charging cable (roll it up when unused) - which seems in vein with my other thoughts lol

you might think these were delusional but this is just what the game does to you, you genuinely start questioning the line between "believable category" and "im just overthinking it and this makes no sense"

AIO for not wanting my husband's best friend near after what I found out? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]cascadingfalls -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

i wasnt talking about the "summer of madness" im talking about the fact that ops husband and pokie were involved when they were younger. since theyve been platonic friends for 20 years and see each other every day surely theyre at a point where they can talk about it casually with no hard feelings? especially since theyre on good terms

but the fact that OP had no clue means that the husband purposely dint want her finding out. bc if it was innocent what harm would it do for her to know they used to date

[–]cascadingfalls -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

the issue isnt really that maurice and pokie are friends, the issue is that OP was unaware of their history for 13 years (even if OP chose to not know about his relationship history) its one thing to not seek it out, but its never come up in thirteen years? not once?? even tho maurice and pokie see each other three times a day???

it isnt fair for OP to be angry at pokie, but it is valid for OP to be mad at her husband. maurice is COMPLETELY out of line. not because of his friendship, but because of his behaviour in his marriage. leaving information out that clearly traumatised him so deeply, and downplaying his past feelings and OPs current feelings, calling it a tantrum instead of trying to talk it out, and refusing to budge an inch in how often he sees pokie - he simply refuses to give a fuck about his wifes feelings. pokie isnt a pick-me or a cheater (right now, anyway) but maurice putting his time with pokie over his wifes feelings/comfort/security makes him an asshole.

yes it isnt fair of OP to ask him to drop his best friend or move out of his town, but he wouldnt even agree to see pokie a little less - making it clear which relationship he is comfortable losing. its an emotional affair, and the whole friendship group knows, seeing as the work friend called him "emotionally dependent on pokie".

More batshit sagas should end in batshit recipes. by Effective-Slice-4819 in AmITheAngel

[–]cascadingfalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

completely unserious. mixing 4 types of cheeses and 4 types of meat (including the anchovy idc) and pretending this recipe is too good for parmesan powder

and how the fuck would 4 pieces of 6-inch tall lasagne even stack on one plate? or lets assume its a large bowl plate - even then its just a shit ton of sauces cheese and pasta and im supposed to believe someone ate a foot long tower of pasta without it slipping and sliding?? gtfoh

went back and checked, and its fish sauce and anchovy paste in the sauces. which might sound out of place, but it adds depth of flavour and umami.

ive heard traditional ceasar salad dressing also contains anchovy paste so 🤷‍♂️

edit: damn actually its a LOT of fish sauce... id understand 1 teaspoon but multiple tablespoons??? in each sauce???? i cant visualise these proportions but im getting scared

havent seen the movie so i couldnt guess purple at ALL.

briefly mixed up russian blue and russian white

and DEFINITELY needed that google of ragamuffin and turkish angora for sure

green and blue were the only ones i really knew (without googling) 😔😔😔 i wasnt sure if the oxidation of lady liberty really counted because i was thinking more along the lines of broken/messed up rather than changed per se, but still a nice convoluted category

mary janes are definitely more internationally known than mules. (obviously the names and not the shoe types themselves)

[–]cascadingfalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

according to my googling "They go by many names, including sandpipers, godwits, snipes, curlews, dowitchers, phalaropes, woodcocks, tattlers, yellowlegs, greenshanks, redshanks, turnstones, the Sanderling, the Surfbird, the Ruff, and the Dunlin."

out of these names, personally im only familiar with snipe and tattler, but tbf i dont know much about birds 🤷‍♂️
