Brilliant roundup.
Would you hate me if I mentioned the “until ultimate […] descended” bit might ruffle feathers? But please never stop ruffling Sony feathers :)
Hate? no. Scoff at? yep!
"Retard" rolled off the same euphemism treadmill that "idiot" and "moron" did, but if I had said "until ultimate idiocy descended from on high" you wouldn't have felt the need to say anything. I was reaching for a derogatory term for the actions of a stupid person, and I found one. And it ain't gonna ruffle any feathers that aren't already permanently ruffled.
I don’t wanna be offended on others’ behalf but in trying to find justifications for and against I came across the Special Olympics - can you guess where they fall on the issue :D
Have a question that’s not a gotcha or nuthin’:
Say captain_aggravated became BFF w/a disabled person who thought innocent usage of “retarded” was harmful even on a FOSS gaming forum. Would you have a thoughtful response there or shrug it off or one of a million other possibilities I’m not guessing here? :)
(Super honest debate here that I doubt anybody else will see, just like to try to rationalize stuff and being The Word Police isn’t my thanggg but I’m still struggling with this - and you’re a cool dude I’d have a beer with so figure you’re good to ask)
You've already departed reality right here.
Username wasn’t autogenerated then eh :)
No but my avatar was.
That’s great, glad you mentioned it. No avatar support with Voyager iOS apparently.
AHAH is this really the user I counseled regarding ~~inclusive language~~ relatively kinder possible language?!
(Strikethrough phrase felt too uptight even for me)
I still want a hat like that, an airline captain's tricorn. Reminds me of this song.
Don't be so hard on yourself, I bet you've got plenty of friends!
My text message history shows that the last person who texted me that wasn't a family member, a doctors office/auto shop confirming an appointment or an unsolicited advertisement/political lie/scam dates to before the pandemic. I live alone with one cat and even she's too much.
