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.

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.

What is tardy supposed to mean?

[–] Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 month ago (16 children)

For normal people, to be late to something.

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

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.

Late.

It comes from Latin tardus = slow

You're thinking of TARDIS, the time machine.

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.

To be fair retarded means slowed or delayed so how many times was anon retarded in getting to work?

[–] dephyre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That's it, calling in retarded to work tomorrow.

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

OP was clearly Tardy.

[–] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)
