Turns out anon was pretty tardy after all...

[-] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 67 points 9 months ago

Uhh I think you mean tardish

Anon is slower on the inside.

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 8 points 9 months ago

Fucking LOL while scrolling next to sleeping wife. You bastard.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

If they'd ever cast Sean Connery as the Doctor.

What is tardy supposed to mean?

[-] Wirlocke 77 points 9 months ago

For normal people, to be late to something.

For this guy, the R slur against those with learning disorders.

[-] kiagam@lemmy.world 56 points 9 months ago

you know this is the internet and you are allowed to type whatever you want, right? let me show you: "retarded"

[-] wetnoodle@sopuli.xyz 75 points 9 months ago

"whatever you want"... they wanted to be a respectful person.

[-] VerticaGG 17 points 9 months ago

"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."

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.

[-] HackerJoe@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

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

[-] arin@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Can't say either on twitch or you'll get banned

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.

Printers used to refer to the page separation rollers as retard rollers.

Late.

It comes from Latin tardus = slow

I agree anon is not a super genius.

[-] joe_cool@lemmy.ml 29 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 44 points 9 months ago

Mass censorship is very cool and definitely not a stepping stone to an authoritarian hellscape.

[-] Alamp@lemm.ee 19 points 9 months ago

The idea that moderating slurs on an online forum is a stepping stone to an authoritarian hellscape really requires a special kind of brain worms

[-] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 9 months ago

I got an instance ban from ML for two weeks because they treat "tankie" like some sort of slur.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 9 months ago

The biggest bunch of snowflakes there ever was. They don't like it when you actively describe them.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 11 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] joe_cool@lemmy.ml 10 points 9 months ago

I'm actually OK with it.

It's their instance, you can check the wordlist in the config. It's the slur_filter_regex. If it would bother me too much I'd change instance or spin up my own.
I'm more enraged by shadow banning like on "other platforms".

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 9 months ago

ml hands out bans people who slightly disagree with their Communist loving opinions, how is that not censorship like on "other" platforms?

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 10 points 9 months ago

Lol it's too much credit to call them communist loving. Marx would be turning in his grave if he saw the regimes these tankies venerate

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 9 months ago

Of course Marx isn't really a good hold up either. Any actually communist society probably wouldn't follow a lot of his doctrines. His beliefs, if actually implemented, would have all ended in civil unrest anyway. His views were inherently unfair and very much open to abuse and corruption. If you were unlucky enough to be on the bottom rung of society then that's where you stayed.

A modern view of communism would be much closer to socialism than anything Marx advocated for. At least socialism allows for social advancement.

On a continuum where you've got tankies on one side and socialism on the other, Marx would be closer to the Tankies end of the spectrum than the socialist. He's definitely not in the middle.

My guy you don't know shit. Marx believed in a classless society. There would be no "rungs". Also what he believed in is socialism, because communism is a form of socialism. This is what happens when you believe what the right wing tells you about Karl Marx without actually asking any leftists or reading it for yourself.

A lot of the things Tankies believe like the concept of a Vanguard party happened after Marx. Marx would have never approved of the USSR, or at least how it ended and all the things that happened under Stalin.

Depends on what is being censored. Hate speech? Censor the shit out of it. Sexual stuff? Not needed.

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.

[-] thorbot@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I’m retarded to work almost every day

[-] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 14 points 9 months ago

Anon is a retard. Also why did that word go out of style? I know damn well it's because it was abused but by definition:

to delay or impede the development or progress of : to slow up especially by preventing or hindering advance or accomplishment

It's a fair critique. We need to stop this PC bullshit. I'm saying this as a father of two children in the spectrum and neither of them are retards.

[-] SparrowRanjitScaur@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

It's not about being PC, it's about how the word is used. There's nothing wrong with the word as it's defined, but when it becomes a common insult it becomes less acceptable. Just like any other swear word.

[-] Black_Gulaman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 9 months ago

If my name ever becomes a commonly used insult, what then?

Any word can become an insult. It's time to take some words back. We have to actively correct misused words. It may make a difference.

[-] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

I don't get the obsession with reintroducing negatively charged words into the common language. Isn't english a rich enough language that there's an abundance of substitutes for words?

[-] Black_Gulaman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 9 months ago

You may invent words as long as you like, but those words can definitely become corrupted as well. It will be an endless cycle.

The only way to stop that is to put our feet down and correct the misuse.

[-] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago

Look at something written 500 years ago. 100 years ago. 50 years ago. Language changes all the time, and there is no stopping that. Yep, language is an endless cycle of switching out common words and adapting to social rules. I'd highly reccommend to follow that flow instead of trying to bring back the "good old days" when n-words and r-words were common and accepted.

Well queer used to be an insult but the LBGTQ+ community reclaimed it. First though, some time needs to pass and afterwards the community that was targeted needs to decide to want to use the word.

[-] DriftinGrifter 14 points 9 months ago

anon is too smart for the quicktime event

[-] Shard@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

OP lied in his interview. Always bad form to lie in an interview.

OP was clearly Tardy.

[-] KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Everyone else in school was collecting good grades, while I was collecting tardigrades.
