Hey all, I’ve been on a huge Quordle kick lately, and was wondering if we could consolidate discussion here? If you’re not sure what Quordle is, it’s four Wordles simultaneously, published daily by Merriam-Webster: [Quordle](https://www.merriam-webster.com/games/quordle/#/)

I thought today’s was tough-ish! Got it in five. Dang double letters!

I don’t agree with this statement. I think “intelligence”, however you define that, has fit pretty cleanly to a Gaussian distribution since the dawn of man. If anything, I think advances in nutrition, preventative healthcare, and access to information has driven pretty significant negative skew. I don’t have anything to back up this claim, but my guess would be that median intelligence has actually increased - it just may not seem as such since the population continues to rise, so the raw number of dummies seems overwhelming.
But hey, who I am to define what’s smart? Maybe an inflatable hot tub, 30 rack of Busch, RAM 1500 on an 84 month note, zero turn mower, DirecTV with Fox News and the funds to pay for it all is the real secret to a happy life. I’m just someone blabbing about nothing with a bunch of Reddit exiles.

Facts, nothing is better than getting $200 of psychedelics in a Channel bag and a free reading of your heart line.

Tarot is a lot of fun! It’s like storytelling. I think if you go into it with an idea that it’s more reflective than predictive or prescriptive it’s more enjoyable.
I’ve found most of the fortune teller people who give tarot a bad rep are really just using the storefront as a means to sell fake purses and weed.

The Consumer Discretionary ones are icky, but if I were the Intelligence Community, I’d want things like Cloudflare and Iridium to keep on chuggin’.

Looks good. Any noted pros/cons vs. Memmy?

I have been an Unsplash power users for years. Also love Pexels! Both amazing platforms.

Generations 1-5. I have wonderful memories with each. Starting with Gen 6, I found the art style unbearable, and even if the stories / gameplay were perfect (they weren’t), I found them too divergent from “core” to overcome.
Areceus was nice because I didn’t go into it as a mainline entry; it was like playing Stadium for the first time.
I’d really like Nintendo to release Emerald, HGSS, Platinum, and BW/BW2 on Switch, as I’d happily pay. My gut tells me they don’t so as to avoid cannibalizing the new titles, but I feel like most buyers are only really engaged in one or the other.

Super shilly comment incoming, but YouTube Premium is maybe the only subscription I pay for (other than Game Pass) that I think is worthwhile. I was also blown away by how much I like YouTube Music. Don’t get me wrong, I’m fully anticipating the platform to race to the bottom and go to complete and utter shit, but for the time being, I think it’s solid.

Not a pain as much as tedious. It was on a 108 so just… not super fun.

So O-Rings are notoriously for cutting the noise on Cherry Blues, but we put 0.2mm O-Rings on my wife’s keyboard, and it accomplished EXACTLY what you’re looking for.
Massive pain to install, but cheap, and “deeper”.

Ah man, that’s kinda goofy. I have PC Game Pass and I know they’re technically different products.

I was going to say… the only times I ever used Reddit search, it just prompted me to question why I was wasting my time, then googling “xyz problem statement reddit”

Some that haven’t been mentioned:
Prolonged Sitting Prolonged Loud Headphone Use Off-Label Drug Use (e.g., Ozempic, Wegovy) Sun/Heat/Poor Air Exposure Thiamine/B1 Deficiency via Alcohol Consumption
We know they’re all dangerous (to wildly varying extents), but I don’t think we’ve had enough moments-of-reckoning, like with emphysema and lung cancer following long term smoking.

Same. Block is a key feature. That said, I’m actually fascinated at how many furry communities there are. You’d think blocking c/furry would take care of 90% of the problem, but who knew c/MidCenturyYiffsOnAnEamesChair had such a dedicated following.

I love this and also prefer the more subtle branding. Sleepers are the best (and more unique). Very cool piece.
Not sure if this would be allowed / if there’s appetite for it, but should we put some information on the Rochester subreddit to try and pull people here? It’d be nice to build up the community a bit (even if it’s just cross-posts at first). I’d do it, but I’m account-less.
