  • The word can still be used in it’s used, you shouldn’t use it against people who have down syndrome etc. It also means to have slowed down or delayed thoughts or ideas. Marx used it. It was one of the first words banned. I used to get very offended by the word, because people used to laugh at disabled people and use the word. I’d laugh as well because I used to just be infected by laughter. It’s the laugh track effect, when I met people who genuinely laughed at disabled people and that word it made me feel sick, I never wanted to ban the word though. Banning words is bad. It helps bad people hide bad intentions and gives people a fake morale shield to hide behind. People tried to tell me the slippery slope argument was a logical fallacy when I pointed it out. Not using bad words is fine banning people for using them isn’t.

    I remember when people started using the n word, and I was just this stupid nerd who said it was bad. The r word offends me less when used correctly. The only reason some fascists care about down syndrome and the r word is because they have it in their family see Shane Gillis



  • That sounds horrible. I’m sorry that the HR person was so shitty, and your boss sounds like a piece of shit tbh. Some people are bullies and just get off on making other people miserable. I’m glad your friend is talking to you again, making friends is tough and it’s more difficult as an adult. I’m glad the therapy is helping you.






  • I mean I do wish the US military had a you might get raped as a woman clause when people sign up, but obviously they don’t. Soooo idk the other people here have a point. Does that excuse joining the military, no not really. Also working at McDonalds is also pretty fucked up seeing as they’re a merciless corporation who also support a genocide, help cut down the rainforest and did so much environmental damage that millions of people might die. So your analogy of stop pretending they work at McDonalds is shit, because McDonalds workers are culpable for doing a lot of damage. I don’t see you complaining though, because you probably eat McDonalds if you think McDonalds is some bengin entity. If you want to make some morale argument to make yourself seem superior to others you gotta come up with something better than that.
