  So moron is acceptable now because all the people impacted by the discrimination are dead, so we just need to wait for the retards to die off before we can use the word again?

  The same group of people and behaviours are/were described by both words.

  But we’ve been over this and confirmed we do not and will not see eye to eye on this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Based Red Dead⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  To break down my response to this

  The R-word is EXCLUSIVE

  There are people with high intelligence and those with low intelligence, bandying about with different words will never change that. Intelligence is crucial in social, economic and evolutionary terms. They are correct no one would ever want to be lacking in intelligence because it would only make life worse. There will always be a need for a word to describe someone of lower intellect, or describe an argument or position as being thoughtless, in order to dismiss the person or idea as quickly as possible with as little engagement possible. Preferably while using small words so they understand.

  You can still say they have a room temperature IQ but they might not get the meaning…

  We are someone that is not your kind.

  I agree, and I would not want someone with an IQ of 70 to be in the military, or to be a teacher, or a doctor, as each of those scenarios would likely result in disaster not just for the 70 IQ individual but for everyone impacted by them.

  Everyone has a gift

  Yea no. This “everyone is special” bullshit just isn’t how the world works. The universe doesn’t care about you, the world is a harsh place where the unfit died early deaths until really intelligent people worked out how to increase food production, developed medicines, surgeries and hygiene.

  Retard equates intellectual disability with being DUMB or STUPID

  You only need to look up the etymology and history of clinical usage of both dumb and stupid to realise they were used to describe the same groups of people and behaviours during different time periods. More bullshit on the treadmill.

  I refuse to censor the word retard while moron, stupid, dumb and idiot are considered fine. To censor a synonym of acceptable words, is to put it bluntly, fucking retarded.

  I literally had an argument with @PugJesus@lemmy.world about this a while back where he declared retard as against sub rules but then continued to call the poster a moron. They’re the same fucking word from different time periods on the treadmill of what is politically correct.

  Either both are slurs that shouldn’t be used or both are acceptable.

  As an ‘IT guy’ having someone ask me to fix their laptop is like asking a farmer (who drives a combine harvester) to sort out my veggie patch.

  Sure we can do it, we possess the skills and knowledge, but it’s different to what we actually do.

  Yea Google are much better with all their pro consumer practices like hosting thousands of malware apps. Also their manufacturing partners where both Google and the manufacturer get to spy on you and sell your data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨and we thought our thing with beans was bad⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  18 months, the typical slaughter age of cattle, is before adulthood

  This is simply not correct, cows are slaughtered at adulthood because they also require time to fully grow and maximise the amount of meat.

  Cows reach adulthood relatively quickly. You still seem to be measuring a cows adulthood comparative to a human lifespan which I have already pointed out is useless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨and we thought our thing with beans was bad⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cows are fully mature at around 24 months old, depending on breed.

  They do not have an extended developmental period like humans so the comparison to a 6 year old human based on maximum lifespan is fallacious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨and we thought our thing with beans was bad⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Calf” is the term used from birth to weaning, when it becomes known as a weaner or weaner calf, though in some areas the term “calf” may be used until the animal is a yearling.

  A 3 year old cow is not a calf.

  Between your immediate downvotes and the tone of your message your response is unnecessarily long and rude

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Firstly you could read user names before going off, I was simply asking a question that Im unwilling to buy the game to answer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t played or watched Balataro but from the description on steam

  You’re going to need every edge you can get in order to reach the boss blind, beat the final ante and secure victory.

  Unless ante here is referring to something else it seems it does have them?

  Like most fandom types gamers who make gaming their whole identity are prone to over reaction.

  You just need to look at the insanity of the pro-shipping vs anti-shipping fandom ‘wars’ for another example lol

  Nope, I only know because my cities water supply was switched one day and our tap water went from the being like the finest spring water to a muddy puddle.

  I contacted the water supplier and found out Im a mutant… and that you can mostly fix it by boiling the water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pro-tip for this capitalistic hellscape⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s understandable that you want something to taste nice, especially if others seem to enjoy it and you feel like you’re missing out.

  If you want to know ‘why’ it tastes like soap it is literally genetics. You have a mutation to your taste buds!

  I also have a fun one, I can taste Geosmin and 2-Methylisoborneol, which most people can’t. I can taste it in quantities as low as 10 parts per trillion.

  It is a shitty superpower because it makes water that is perfectly clean and safe to drink taste like mud.

  Studies show that cricket protein powder contains about 65.5% protein and adult crickets provide 13.2–20.3 grams of protein per 100-gram serving

  Also some crickets (not all) are complete sources of protein, and they are gluten free depending on preparation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Citizen players after giving Chris Roberts a month’s pay for a 400-meter Liberator-class carrier by Shitfuck Industries⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a bit of a difference between how EVE handles RMT (legit) and how Star Citizen is meant to handle purchased ships going forward.

  You really aren’t ever meant to permanently lose a ship you pledged for in Star Citizen.

  Also SC is still in development hell which is very unfortunate. They’re reworking the flight model yet again and their plans for capital ship combat are a complete mess.

  While Im not confident in Star Citizen ever releasing it has sparked a lot of interest in the space sim genre which was absolutely dead prior to the SC kickstarter.

  Disclaimer: I have multiple 100mil+ SP characters in EVE and have spent a couple thousand on Star Citizen, which is still much less than Ive spent on EVE.

  My school’s bus, which was used only for sporting events and trips, was an actual prison bus. It still had restraint attachment points and the bars on the windows.

  It was brilliant for psyching out the other football teams.
