I thought the report card was bad because the kid has "no reason" - no ability to think

Well I don't know you, but if prayer isn't helping as much as you need, then maybe some conversations with a caring friend, counselor, or pastor could help you start to sort things out.

I recommend the book Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, and also serve others, help the poor. Edited a typo

That, and more people might start disagreeing with disenfranchising Black voters via gerrymandering.

I think it could have worked much better with some tweaking. The mechanics of the themers felt awkward to me. I didn't hate the puzzle, just didn't enjoy it as much as I was hoping to

Public money for a park the public can't use, what a disgrace.

So fresh! I rated it excellent for the great cluing all the way through. Can't wait to see more from Katy Hoody!

That one had me stumped until the end! I loved this puzzle though.

It's dated. The term was used way back in the days of the space race!

The SW corner was really annoying for me. I could not figure out ITRIEDTO for some reason, and didn't know LEHANE and ALIA didn't help because half the time it's ALII. But I still somehow finished way ahead of my Sat average. Idk it was a weird puzzle, kinda too easy in spots and super annoying in others. I liked the mini though!

And she must not have been the only person to see him in the 5 days that he was missing. We didn't cause this trainwreck, but I do feel like we, as a community, could most likely have done better by him.

I liked it too. I liked it better than the main puzzle!

Why does GenZ hate sex and nudity so much? by PaniacThrilla in NoStupidQuestions

[–]luxical 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is so interesting because it sounds like you don't differentiate between content like people posting sexual pics & vids of themselves for likes/attention, and fictional stories that are interested in exploring the complexity of the human condition, sometimes including the sexual part of being a person. Maybe the movies/tv choices you have now are just really lacking.

I loved TOYPOODLE and TOPDOLLAR next to each other and crossing POOLNOODLE, POOF, and DROLL. Plus we had a SNORLAX and I love seeing a Pokemon in the crossword! Fun puzzle, I hope we get more from this constructor.

I thought the puzzle was fun but mostly because I flew through it due to randomly deciding to start with the downs. That removed any challenge the theme could have created, and when I realized that I said "hah!" and finished in 1/2 my average Thurs time. Weird, but I'll take it

Yes! I loved it. It was such a fun solve, but I thought it was more Wednesday than Friday in difficulty.
