This is off topic, but has Elon been getting more and more ghoul looking over the last couple of years?
All that K might be taking its toll. It might even rob him of all brain function.
How the fuck would anyone be able to tell when that happens…???
🙄 😜
Here’s hoping
Hope he goes feral soon
like a Feral ghoul ?
Yes
Elon, the “it’s not a Nazi salute, he’s just autistic” guy?
And MAGAts are currently clutching their pearls over Crocketts ‘Hot Wheels’ comment… Fucking traitorous clowns.
They have the thinnest skin. they are Bitch made.
Black women have magats panties in a wad
He’ll graduate to the n-word by the end of the year.
Nope. This isn’t the time for this. Grow up, people sensitive to the use of rude words. We have fascists to fight, and we need every single person we can get to fight them.
He can say it, he is one.

You won’t believe what happened!
The hard R word too I imagine.
Do… Do you mean “recession”?
" its locker room talk" from the people that demand decorum.

Unless the context is about music, it’s probably not ok to say. Yes, even where you live.

That’s ritard, short for ritardando
Unless you meant a non chord tone resolving downwards but that’s retardation

“R-Word” is a ridiculous over correction. It demeans the reason why “N-Word” exists. We collectively said the N-Word is out of bounds because it’s the very least anyone can do given historical events that continue to resonate to this very day (god dammit). Now the Internet thinks “R-Word” is a good idea. Why? The word is “Retard.” It’s okay to say retard. What’s not okay is demeaning people by calling them any derogatory term, and blacklisting words thinking that will somehow correct the problem is the height of hubris – as if there are no other suitable replacements. It’s an attempt to take a shortcut to a societal problem. It is, in a word, retarded (you can look up the definition in a dictionary and see it’s an appropriate usage).
Can I ask what context you hear it used in?
“Sorry I just took off my leotard. Allow me to retard”
“I need to retard the timing on my carburetor because it’s suddenly 1973 again”

@NotLemming @MountingSuspicion fellow English and I would say it’s even more offensive here than in the US! Maybe that’s why you’ve not heard it.

yeah I know! But it was very common for a long time. Retard was voted worst by British disabled people in the early 2000s (and of course the Spastics Society had to rename to Scope in the 90s because of the misuse of the term, so it’s significant if R is worse). Currently both on the “strong” column in the ofcom list (which is a sometimes fun, sometimes horrible reference guide). https://www.ofcom.org.uk/siteassets/resources/documents/research-and-data/tv-radio-and-on-demand-research/tv-research/offensive-language-quick-reference-guide.pdf
It took the US a *lot* longer to recognise spastic/spaz as offensive too.deleted by creator
I think it got offensive when it was used with" mentally retarded" so blatantly
In French it would be ‘attardé’ I think.
i learned about it being offensive as an “evolution” of american english. i do agree the simple form, out of american english context, means slow.
the default, in american context, now seems to be retarded mental growth.
better to not use it, or at least, know your audience. elon is a moron and can’t read a fucking room to save his life.
It’s only because R word was being heavily censored in reddit. Any use of that word was an immediate comment removal and ban, even if the context wasn’t attacking the disabled/demeaning them.
This is why these retards are in power now. There is enough damage being done to our country to have things to legitimately be upset about. Tangible things like all the kids dying of measles, the dismantling of our research institutions, and gambling our future prosperity away by making it known to our allies that America’s word means nothing and starting retarded trade wars.
No one gives a shit if some Karen is upset about about people calling each other retards. The word has to much utility to be policed out of use. This is why we need Xbox live lobbies to return, let people grow thick skin because Ive been called everything in the urban dictionary.
I may be jaded but I had an undergrad get upset with me once when they asked me to look at some bacterial colonies they were growing on agar plates. I looked at the plates and said they look retarded, as in their growth was retarded because she used minimum media instead of rich media by accident. No I didn’t get in trouble with any admins.
… I had an undergrad get upset with me once … I looked at the plates and said they look retarded, as in their growth was retarded because she used minimum media instead of rich media by accident.
That’s retarded.
But hey, let’s all get the knives out for Jasmine Crockett calling the dipshit in Texas “Hot Wheels.”
If course it’s unsurprising. The man has a very clear pattern of surrounding himself with people who he believes will do and think exactly the way he wants, and then cutting ties with them anytime they deviate from his expectations.
