I guess they would know something about superfluous word usage (the entire lengthy review was like this)

this rather pretentious review for The Magpie Lord by KJ Charles by someone who doesn't seem to understand what a trope is...
ngl my original rating for this book was a 3* and this review annoyed me so much I bumped it up to 4*
It went on to be still rather obnoxious after this but this was really the key bit that had me hitting my head on a wall. It's a fairly old review, so I'm wondering if the author would ever look back at it and cringe at how much they really just wanted to hear themselves talk. And, for those who haven't read the book, those comparisons are a biiiiig stretch - they mention Batman being influenced by their previous entry and I just want to be like...you are so close. You are So Close To Understanding What Happened Here.

We have a pair of robins that keep attacking a decorative window in our home. Our guess is that they are nesting nearby and are in a turf war with their reflections (we named the male one Tyler Birden because of all the Fight Club jokes we were making). We don't want them to get hurt or waste their energy - and also we'd like to be able to sleep in past 5:30 am.
The problem is, all of the advice we've seen says to cover or mark up the exterior. The window is about twelve feet up from the ground outside, doesn't open, and is above uneven ground that would be risky for a regular ladder. Neither of us are particularly handy or strong. Does anyone have any other suggestions for ways we can disrupt the reflection from inside, or otherwise solve the issue for these poor robins? We could possibly hire someone professional to mount a ladder and do it for us, but I'm not sure where we'd find that.
My wife and I (and Tyler Birden) would appreciate any help!
