  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”

    • wetnoodle@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      “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”

        “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.

        You might be surprised that your sprinkler system has a retard chamber. Also you can still order it under that name.

      That’s hilarious. Is it still in use or say it differently now?

      I’m thinking about master>slave in tech. Or rapeseed became Canola. Or how we say Uranus differently.
