What is Reddit's opinion of
Power Thesaurus?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
93 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
This is what amounts to "empathy" for them. Instead of putting themselves in someone else's shoes, they just selfishly assume everyone else is in their shoes.
I'd give them more than that, ngl. The only times I've come across it is when the author's used the word 'eyes' so many times in a page bc something important is happening to a character's eyes that they were probably thinking, "I should stir the pot here with some synonyms," and I can roll with 'orbs' just as well as any other synonym.
Random but related: one of my favorite synonyms for 'look' is 'peer.'
Also everybody needs to know about powerthesaurus.org. It is amazing!

Add an accent and tada! Do it for all the curses and really bring out the inner sailor. But I'm also a masochist 😅
If you're not trying to creatively push buttons and just trying to find loop holes go with other gross words like moist! Make him wish you still used boring curse words 😈
> she said nothing on the lines of "Crack down on internet" tho
The headline is:
> Theresa May says attack justifies her plan to crackdown on internet use
The quote from May in the article is:
> "This Government will act to stamp out extremist and hateful ideology, both across society and on the internet," she said
"Stamp out" is a synonym of "crack down on"
So "cracking down on internet use" is just another way of talking about an attempt to "stamp out [blah] on the internet."
unsure of what context you’re going for asking this-but i’m ngl a lot of these make me physically cringe, im not on t, but i usually call everything my “dick”.
i don’t think “hole”/“front hole” is that bad, especially in a gay setting since a lot of guys call their asshole their “hole”.
in the past i’ve seen people use the word “slit” in fanfic/smut settings, and looking at a list of other words to call ones “front bottom”- i honestly don’t mind the word “sheath”, it has more scaley porn origins in my mind but it’s not as bad as some of the words used.
I don't see it listed as an opposite. https://www.powerthesaurus.org/public_ownership/antonym

Public ownership isn't inherently bad, it just depends on how it's implemented and controlled..
In the name of public ownership, dictators and oligarchies definitely have control of resources, that we have no control ov even as a collective

Here's three different sources to clearly prove underhandedness is a synonym of deceitful (since you so confidently wrote "lmao"):

For the sake of dicussion, let's work under the context you stated though, in which attacking a neutral country risks putting you in an isolated (and thus weaker) position:
The fact that you remain isolated is pointless if you win the war. Hitler was betting on a fast, isolated conflict. It didn't happen in hindsight, but it had worked so far, prior to the Invasion of Poland and the Battle of France (an example of strength, strategy and tactics).
You also have to take into account that many neutral countries provide concession to one side of the belligerents, so many decide to cut them off, and in that way weaken their direct enemy (another example of strength, strategy and tactics).
Last but not least, those attacks on neutral countries in WW2, as underhanded ad they were, didn't isolate Nazi Germany in the least. It didn't unite the world against Hitler, and it took several years, and a direct attack by the Japanese for the U.S. to finally join the war directly (until then, they were neutral but providing aid to the Soviets and the British, through the lend lease and convoys).
What it did do for the Germans, is amplify their hold of Europe, complicate the war enormously on Britain, and solidify them as a global threat. Simply put, it worked.
It would be many factors into the future which would play into the downfall of Nazi Germany, but attacking neutral countries certainly wasn't one of the biggest (if one at all).
Actually it is a synonym

Amenable describes someone or something that’s “willing to agree or to accept something that is wanted or asked for,” which I think may be a bit broad for your intended meaning. (For instance, I’m guessing that even a flexi plus ticket has some restrictions?)
I wouldn’t go with “amenable” there. I think “flexible” would be fine, though at your option, you could choose a word other than “flexible” since your sentence already has “flexi” earlier (which is almost the same word).
If it wouldn’t be unwelcome, I also have two other comments that aren’t directly related to your question—
- If you want to say that something “does what it says on the tin,” then it would be apt for your description to include a verb somewhere. By way of analogy, if someone were to ask, “What are you doing next weekend?” and you answered “handsome and helpful,” that wouldn’t quite make sense either.
- My Spidey-sense tells me that “flexi plus” is probably a brand name. And if that may be the case, I’d recommend googling the term to confirm the capitalization that the company prefers for that.

I would say demanding is closer to commanding, which is an antonym to begging. Either way, a political party stating their platform isn't a demand. All political parties do this. If a political party didn't run on a platform, they would serve no purpose. This political party just happens to be running on a platform that is dumb as fuck.

For the first one, either Power Thesaurus or OneLook Reverse Dictionary might be the sort of thing you're looking for. Neither are perfect (some of the results are a little weird/not that relevant), but you can order results by nouns, verbs and adjective as well as look up meanings and examples.
For the second, is Google's Talk to Books what you were thinking of?

What is the difference between abilities and traits in term of your system? I assume that one is an active thing, while the other is a passive one.
A good question might be to think about how they are acquired. Do they come as "Rewards" from accomplishing special events. Are they "Unlocks" from grinding stuff. Are they "Specializations" picked from choices during leveling such as two of the same class might get different ones.
That kind of thing.

Great, that's what I used, an analogy, I don't care if you want so badly to call it a metaphor, even though you could be technically not wrong, its not the most accurate word to describe what I wrote, because it was an analogy. Words are precious, treat them with respect!

I like the 17th level feature. It's pretty gruesome. As you said, the word "Eldritch" is a bit overused here. I'd probably switch it up with some other words. Check out some synonyms here. Way of the Tentacle also caught me off-guard. I thought it would have something to do with oceans but it's more of a Lovecraft thing. Maybe Way of the Maddened God or something like that?
>its only correct if you look at it through the narrow lens of dictionary definition.
You still haven't demonstrated to me how it's not the correct word for the context. It literally means second to last so saying "your penultimate post" is correct. Theres no narrow lens. It was used perfectly. Do you have a better word? There is no other synonym for this context.
Edit: Look at it's synonyms.
It's an adjective so that means that it's a word to modify or describe to a noun. 'A post' is a noun (person, place, or thing). I'm using an adjective (penultimate) to describe a noun (post). It works with the context perfectly and is grammatically correct. I can't be more clear than this.
I don't know what faggy means. I don't think it's an adjective. If you can describe what it means then maybe I'll know how it's faggy to use 'penultimate'.

That honestly is a really interesting question. When you asked it the second time I think it clicked more.
If I am going to be super strictly honest about my negative feelings, I might say something like, "the speciously-named pro-choice cause isn't all about choices after all!"
Another good one perhaps more subtle due to the dual meaning of ostensible, "the ostensibly self-titled pro-choice movement has a long way to go before I am convinced of their sincerity."
You could say specious pro-life, but that's possibly ambiguous as to whether you mean they are "mistitled and PL" or "mistitled as PL".

For whenever I am in doubt of a word, a good ol' thesaurus comes in handy. For not only synonyms, but for antonyms, too. As the "yin & yang" together can aid greatly in better grasping of definitions.
Before you start searching for any thesaurus out there, I have two recommendations for you:
Power Thesaurus - I'd say one of the best online thesauri out there, because it gives you different parts of speech as results (nouns, verbs, adjectives, phrases, ...) and also antonyms (opposites of the word you search for).
Or, if you don't mind spending some money, look up "Roget's International Thesaurus" (the 7th edition is pretty good, I think the 8th does have a few deficits). Costs about 22$ right now on amazon. Unlike other thesauri in book-form (which are sorted alphabetically) it is sorted by concept. E.g. you can look up the concept of food or different emotions etc. to find words you can use without having an exact word you need to look up. But remember to check if the word is still in use or outdated. I like to primarily use it to find words I know but didn't remember.
Use quillbot, get your text generated, rearrange the lines here and there, put some extra lines too. Don't be a dumbass and make sure you proofread it and it feels like it was written by a human. Run it through a plagiarism check again, and repeat accordingly.
Legal tip: Use a thesaurus, when you're writing and you wanna spice things up use sites like Power Thesaurus and look for better words that fit the context. Helps your vocabulary too

I mean, this is /r/words lol. Semantics is basically the theme. But yeah, I could see people understanding synonym to mean something that loosely related (and you'll find some pretty broad reaches on thesaurus.com, or sites like this one where the limitations are completely out the window), but you could also read it as having to be even more identical than that. Obviously, this doesn't take away from my original point, but I can see my example being a bad one depending on how you define synonym. I should note that you won't find gaslighting as a synonym for lying on thesaurus or dictionary.com though.

That you would claim that you got nothing when you looked it up means that you either didn't in fact look it up or you decided that some results didn't count. I get it, you didn't know this phrase existed, you didn't know that it is just another way of saying "open secret" and so your trying to defend the fact that you didn't know about the phrase. It's ok to just admit that you didn't know about the phrase and move on.

That's also not really best practice, since it's hardly ever make sense to use plural names for tables (a table will likely store more than just 1 row, so it makes no sense to use plural names, obviously the table User stores users, etc.).

World peace and technological advancements eventually led planet Mackel to space travel. Mackelites spread throughout the galaxy until one fateful day when they discovered a planet inhabited by douchebag clones.
The Douchebagians were a primitive race who worshiped the moon. They immediately dominated and enslaved Mackelites who were seen as weak and gullible. But the enslavement was a rouse which allowed them to study the Douchebagians in their natural environment.
They eventually devised a plan for departure after they had learned enough from the planet. During a lunar eclipse, an extremely superstitious time for the average Douchebagian, the Mackelites suddenly started to dematerialize. They screamed in agony, flailed their arms around and some even grabbed at a Douchebag, pleading for help.
Generations have passed, but the legend of the Mackelites still carries on. Few douchebags still believe the story, but some say that if you listen carefully during a lunar eclipse, you can still hear the screams of the Mackelites.
I dunno, something like that or whatever.
As one option:
“My role allows me to practice being sensitive, supportive, and nonjudgmental.”

- “My role allows me to practice being sensitive, supportive, and accepting.”

Yes, it is. In this case "threatened" is used in probably its most common meaning which is to "express one's intention to harm or kill". So, Trump is threatening tariffs which are intended to economically harm Mexico.

There are many synonyms for "threatened" but that's probably the best word to use here.

TSCC has beaten the idea that the church is true into the members heads and I for one know it is not true, my conclusion is that TSCC is false. You may do as you wish but I suspect you will lose the "argument" before it even starts if you approach it your way.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful piece! Such a very engaging and inspirational poem, the first line just hooks the reader like THAT! (Well, that’s at least what happened to me, my eyes widened a bit) One thing you could improve upon though is the variation between your vocabulary choice. I noticed that some of the same words were used multiple times, which seemed a bit redundant to me. What I do when I write is keep a thesaurus next to me at all times, but if you don’t own a thesaurus, I highly recommend the power thesaurus it’s my favorite website to use for synonyms. If you do end up revising this in the near future, please let me know, because I love it and would like to read it again!!!
I have been doing crosswords lately to improve my vocabulary. I think it's working.
When I'm looking for a specific word and I have a few minutes to look it up, I love using https://www.powerthesaurus.org and browsing through all the words.
It's almost always a fool's errand in my experience. If it was hard to find the words, they're typically less common, less familiar to readers, and increase the effort needed to read your writing.
But if you must use a Thesaurus, I like this crowd-sourced one: https://www.powerthesaurus.org/challenging
The opposite of that name would be these perhaps they are more elegant in Italian? Sorry if I assumed incorrectly if that is your first language.
I don't see hierarchy and egalitarianism as opposite and if you do, I'm assuming you are making capitalist vs socialist argument because it implies low wealth inequality.
https://www.powerthesaurus.org/hierarchy/antonyms Hierarchy antonyms are all about disorder, not egalitarianism. These concepts have little to do with one another.
>My point was that he's wrong about lobsters.
Only if you make reductio ad absurdum out of his lobster example. His point was that hierarchies are not arbitrarily socially constructed but fundamental to life for hundreds of millions of years. His argument ultimately doesn't depend on lobster example, anyway. You can remove lobster stuff from his speech on hierarchy and not lose anything
https://www.powerthesaurus.org/misanthrope/antonyms I guess this counts? Lol in this case the connotation is because that's the most common first thought people have. But a philanthropic person can be philanthropic without being a charity.
Don't think the first one is too edgy, but it would be hard to segue into it in a graduation speech. Plus, if you said "the first axiom", people would wonder why you didn't expound on the other axioms.
All that being said, I think you could make a go of it if you paraphrased it and made your speech or a section of your speech about fairness and decisiveness.
For example, "it would be wise to remember that there is no 'right' without the will to back it up, but that will isn't 'right' on its own." Take that if you like.
Not related, but I would recommend PowerThesaurus for mixing up your word choice. It's a pretty comprehensive tool.
Usually, I avoid using big words unless a situation demands so. In my upcoming debut novel The Ryders' Riddance, there is one particular character, who has a polished command on the vocabulary and he just knows how to make spoken English sound so effortless.
To enable me use better words, I use Power Thesaurus and for usage of appropriate idioms & phrases, this website has been of great help!
Hope it helps.
I was just thinking a similar resource would be great. Like a rhyming dictionary but for the first syllable of the word. Sometimes thesaurus aren't the right tool when you are looking for words with doublr meanings but you want it to sound right. The closest I found was https://www.powerthesaurus.org which allows users to add new synonyms, so it has more than the "official" sources.
Damn son, I really thought it was vacuous.
Can you ask the girl if she remembers? Just thought of another word: frivolous?
edit: just saw that frivolous was on the list... check this out tho https://www.powerthesaurus.org/vapid/synonyms

Since we're dealing with a 5 year old level mind here, i'll make it easy for you: https://www.powerthesaurus.org/governance/synonyms/7
Governance, synonym as indicated here = centralism.
I'm no Albert Einstein, but logic would tell me that governance means it's centralized. Can't fix stupid!
I have no clue as to what you define as thinking, so no. It's psycho babble as "thinking" can mean many or few thing, of which there can be a multitude of antonyms to successfully challenge it. Basically you have picked a broad topic and wish to apply specific parameters upon it. Can I know what up is without knowing down, yes, obviously depending on the context one is learning the concept.
>To make such a distinction requires the opposite for it to make any sense.
Why, which opposite are you talking about? Opposite of happiness could be one of 650 possibilities of which unhappiness seems the most obvious. I can figuratively drive a cruise ship through the holes in your simplistic logic. That's why it's meaningless, specious psycho babble.
