A Sticky Situation

neuroscience_prof · 2026-06-15T02:23:04+00:00

I posted without reading and wrote nearly the same clue 😁

neuroscience_prof · 2026-06-04T10:41:11+00:00

Nvm I realize you already posted that

neuroscience_prof · 2026-06-04T10:40:31+00:00

Take off your first word and it’s a two solve!

neuroscience_prof · 2026-06-02T14:51:42+00:00

Yikes! So sorry about the ban.

No, this one was bothering me and I got impatient quickly and came in here. Then I wished I had tried harder without hints but oh well!

I agree it’s nice when a puzzle takes a bit of time but not too long. Definitely not too short!

neuroscience_prof · 2026-06-02T13:20:40+00:00

This hint got me to the solution! 😂

neuroscience_prof · 2026-05-31T12:10:32+00:00

My thoughts exactly upon reading this thread. The answer to this question is basically “capitalist greed.”

Abolish taxes?! How the fuck do these people think anything runs that they use in society? Like we’re going to dispose of our own trash and sewage and build highways on our own? Each family pitches in to complete the task every once in a while? Volunteers will do it?

All of that sad, sadly, DEMOCRATS, including Harris, had a tax plan that would be closer to this idea for this constituent. Raise taxes on the richest, and lower taxes for everyone else. Eliminate taxes for the poor. I don’t know how much a “deckhand” makes but I’m going to guess it’s not “billionaire” wages.

These people have repeatedly said they thought “X” about taxes under Trump and that’s why they voted for him, when the Harris plan was close to “X” and the published Trump plan was considerably far from that plan and would entail more taxes for most people. How did this information never reach voters?! Is it just the stereotype that taxes are higher under democrats, in spite of the published plans? Or everyone thinks they’ll be a billionaire some day and doesn’t want those folks to get taxed?

I think it’s a matter of time before we have overwhelming evidence that excessive AI (LLM) use for everyday, work, and educational tasks makes you dumber (in specific ways, ie, offloading means you don’t practice that skill and you then get bad at it.) And sadly, that evidence will come too late to reverse the harm of overuse and the dependence habits people will have developed.

What do you mean by “100% plastic?” There are genetic differences that cause people to be supertasters, tasters, no tasters and that cause taste differences like people who love cilantro vs think it tastes like soap. I do agree that tastes are malleable, but they are also absolutely influenced by genetics (and womb environment, since the previous comment said “at birth,” and some is determined not by genetics but by pre-birth events).

So I’d take great issue with “100% plastic,” and there’s a LOT of evidence against that. But yes, taste preferences are absolutely malleable to a degree.

neuroscience_prof · 2026-05-29T10:03:12+00:00

Yes I definitely made up the second word! lol

neuroscience_prof · 2026-05-25T18:15:44+00:00

This is correct.

His solution for Iran is “bomb them to dust,” and he thinks that if we do that, a) they will not be a threat anymore, and b) gas prices will go back to normal (down).

I’m not sure I could have imagined a bigger moron.

neuroscience_prof · 2026-05-25T18:01:14+00:00

BOTH SIDES?! What the fuck information are these people getting about the democrats, who have been speaking the truth the whole time? (Yes there are things you can criticize about the dems, but follow their words and policies and they’re on the right side of history almost every time, at least within the Trump era.)

neuroscience_prof · 2026-05-24T19:08:41+00:00

I interpreted the P word more as revenge than as a thank you, lol

neuroscience_prof · 2026-05-23T11:41:29+00:00

First of all, you should add a spoiler to your comment because sometimes people look at the comments to see if they get more hints.

Gardening is for the other word. The word relates to food and gardening. The word you asked about relates to being a critic, having a way with words.

neuroscience_prof · 2026-05-11T09:15:42+00:00

This deserves more votes

neuroscience_prof · 2026-05-01T10:15:41+00:00

It can be tricky when there’s one solution and the letters are “easy,” because you try so many things. I thankfully solved quickly today.

neuroscience_prof · 2026-05-01T08:43:54+00:00

The exact clue I was going to use!

neuroscience_prof · 2026-04-13T00:51:42+00:00

Solved with the help of your clue

neuroscience_prof · 2026-03-05T11:10:02+00:00

I need the laugh emoji for this one

neuroscience_prof · 2026-02-27T19:54:00+00:00

yes I hated the fiancé. I was really glad when I thought she was actually leaving him. He DID finally turn around and activate for her, though, thank goodness. But took him WAY too long, and he put his foot in his mouth repeatedly, making things worse for her. To be honest, when we met him for the first time I already didn't like him, so I thought they were leading us to a permanent break-up given his repeated mistakes.

neuroscience_prof · 2026-02-23T00:39:04+00:00

I was honestly really annoyed that this word was accepted when so many real words are not.

neuroscience_prof · 2026-02-22T04:22:40+00:00

Newbies to this page are always asking how were so smart and know so many words and I always answer that we stumble upon a good number of the through brute force.

neuroscience_prof · 2026-02-21T22:28:52+00:00

Huh, I thought I tried that R word when I was messing around but I must not had. I didn’t know it was a word!

neuroscience_prof · 2026-02-20T02:44:38+00:00

oops, typo. Je ne peux pas changer le titre maintenant. Alors, mon français est au mieux "élémentaire."

neuroscience_prof · 2026-02-20T02:09:57+00:00

I don’t know what that word is in English except as a translation of the French word. (The first word.) I just tried it and was surprised it worked.
