yeah but who uses it like that? I don't. I just use it because i think it's a funny word and i think it has situational comedy potential.

I'm not going to seek out people with mental disorders and call them retarded, that'd be evil.

You're basically arguing because one person is a terrible person, that we should change to accommodate against them.

It feels like action, it feels like some kind of accomplishment that you got some progressive content creator railroaded off the internet because they had a dumb take on israel once or used the R slur at some point.

that's great, but does it actually accomplish anything? That's what really matters, it doesn't matter if you run some weirdo out of town because he moderately disagrees with you, if he just goes to the next town over, where more people are waiting for him...

true i hate winning, i hope we keep losing so we can keep up the facade of pretending to be good instead of actually doing something to solve the problem, because we would probably fuck up.

the importance of that relatively minor thing also matters though, we can't just purity test everybody for everything, even if it's objectively correct, not all of it matters.

teaming with what might as well be classified as terrorists, and literal drug trafficking cartels is kind of insane not gonna lie.

And genetics were used to justify genocide and eugenics. By your logic are genetics absolutely evil?

genetics are a constant truth, so the argument should be based from the perspective that genetics mean something, in regards to genocide and eugenics, not that genetics itself is flawed, because genetics didn't create this perception, humans did.

edit: retards was a typo of regards lmao, what an unfortunate typo.

it's the internet, and this is a post about blackholes and a bird being recorded. This is a tad bit out of place for what it is, not surprised people downvoted it, probably because they thought it was irrelevant, oh well, that's the internet, sometimes people like what you have to say, other times they don't. Don't think about it too hard, at the end of the day it's just internet karma.

thats what a lot of AI is used for, just in different fields.

give this man a break, he owns a nissan truck.

we're all a little retarded at the end of the day, if you squint hard enough, it might even be pretty retarded. Because there isn't anything to see, it's a metaphor.

Anyway, this joke has overstayed it's welcome, i will be on my way now.

If the n-word was used to describe people acting stupid would you feel comfortable with that? What if no black people complained about it? Would that make it okay?

it depends on how far back you go with this one, if you were to remove the racial pretense from it entirely yeah it would probably be fine.

But if you just sort of retconned it in like 1970 through timetravel or something, i mean it would also be fine because nobody would know what it previously was, but hypothetically that wouldn't be ok, because it's historical roots are the same.

Its the history and usage of the word that matters. Given enough time, the n word will probably lose it's vile status and become more casual. Like every other word before it.
