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? :)

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.
