More Woke stuff: Scrabble being dumbed down

Maybe change the thread title - More "Woke" 🙄 threads: After Hours being dumbed down

Really? I ought to consider cancelling mine.

I heard if you use the word "woke" to describe the new Scrabble you're banned from playing the full version until you grow up…

No. It's a reference to a Daily Mail comment by someone who, ironically, would need Scrabble to be simplified in order to be able to play it.

Whats so hard about normal Scrabble though? You can always change your letters if you have bad ones or you can't make a word.... What are the new rules anyway?

From what little I have read it is not new rules. The same game is there with the same rules. But on the other side of the board there is a completely new different word game that is played as a co-op team rather than against each other. More than that I do not know.

But unless what little I have read has not been clear - my understanding is no new rules but a completely new game.

Which would mean the whole "Scrabble is being dumbed down" is just clickbait and false. Scrabble remains entirely unchanged.

Does that make it more inclusive? If so, that’s going to make it woke.

That crackpot used to fantasise about stabbing students in the neck with a pen when he was teaching. Not a sound mind.

Scrabble is anything but inclusive, they enforce the patriarchal colonist world view by limiting the game to 26 letters.

18 letters should be enough for anyone. Nach ea?

I liked Peterson when he first started out, he talked a lot of common sense.

But in the last few years celebrity, or rather notoriety, has gone to his head and he's realised there's more money to be made tapping into alt-right anger and culture wars than in common sense, and is increasingly just spouting pure and utter nonsense.

He's become just another snake oil salesman at this stage which is a pity because he was certainly was interesting in the beginning. Just another example, like Musk, of "the more time you live through twitter, the bigger the alt-right d!ckhead you become".

The ref last night wanted Ronnie to play a shot whilst people were re-entering the arena. Ultimate wokeness. There are no closed doors… to anyone.

Le woke du jour est morte - vive le woke du jour nouvelle!
