That's it, calling in retarded to work tomorrow.
retarded means tardy again. If you're late once, you're tardy. Do it again and you're retarded.

Op IS tardy.
My regards.
What about them?
Give them to the chef.
~~I don't think you're allowed to cook them.~~
The chef says to keep your damn regards out of the kitchen, he's trying to cook.

My retards.
What is tardy supposed to mean?
Late.
For normal people, to be late to something.
For this guy, the R slur against those with learning disorders.
you know this is the internet and you are allowed to type whatever you want, right? let me show you: "retarded"
"whatever you want"... they wanted to be a respectful person.
Is saying the word retarded without calling some it disrespectful? Is it now a trigger word? I'm genuinely wondering. Because when we were growing up we used the word EVERYWHERE. It was as common as saying "fricken"
It's a slur, that's why. Some slurs are major slurs that are considered offensive even when it's not referring to someone, and I think this is one of them. They're often forbidden because of it, and a lot of people find it easier to follow universal rules than to check the rules of each place they post, because the universal rules will keep you in the clear 95% of the time. And even if not, it's still respectable to not want to use slurs.
And yeah, it did used to be a lot more common. And before that, it was a medical term. That's the way it goes, we have a word to insult people's intelligence, doctors deal with patients who have a disorder causing that, they don't want to use the mean word to refer to the patients, they come up with a new word for it, the word gets out, and then everyone makes it a new word to insult intelligence. Though this one seems to be taking a different track because it hit modern sensibilities, and at the same time I think doctors now know better than to come up with a new word for mental deficiencies.

It's the euphemism treadmill in action.

"IDGI, this person has the option to be the worst version of themselves. Why dont they choose to do that?!? Also why does noone want to be around me? Could it be that marinating my brains in a writhing compost of clapbacks and dunks is desensitizing me to my own dehumanizing? No. Clearly this is because woke."
The word that airline computers hurl at their pilots just before landing
Quite rude if you ask me
I found a training thing that included the phrase "retard power" in an aviation context. The best part was the way it was enunciated. Not "ri-tard" like you do when it's a verb, but long E ree-tard. I absolutely clipped it.

I agree anon is not a super genius.
The comments are pretty interesting when you read them on lemmy.ml
That instance has server wide word filtering enabled that can't be removed.
Mass censorship is very cool and definitely not a stepping stone to an authoritarian hellscape.
Perhaps it's a sexual thing. You know like if you are hit a lot as a child.
Perhaps Tankies learn to enjoy censorship and repression. That's the only justification I can think of for censoring themselves, it's pretty hilarious when you think about it.

What's hilarious about that place is you can type removed and they can't tell the difference between that and a slur being blanked out by the system.

anon is too smart for the quicktime event
OP lied in his interview. Always bad form to lie in an interview.
OP was clearly Tardy.
Everyone else in school was collecting good grades, while I was collecting tardigrades.
