Anything that starts with "be me" is pretty much universally idiotic, so this is no surprise.

You’re allowed to say Retarded here on not-Reddit.

I think.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I've tried saying removed but it got censored.

This is a test to see if it's instance or community based.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I said fag-got and it got censored. What a fucking joke. Why is a British suet pudding fucking illegal to say? What do they have against British food? Fucking faggits

Lemmy seems to hate that word more than reddit funnily enough. It was my first instance of learning that Tankies have a FUCKED sense of priorities

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

A lot of us are really hoping Lemmy doesn't turn into tankie-voat to the extent a lot of lemmy instances are staying away from tankie instances. Being uncool with some shit (like making fun of mentally handicapped people) is part of that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

1: The vast majority of people using the word Retard are NOT maming fun of mentally handicapped people, its a word used for someone who made a very stupid decision they were perfectly mentally capable of not making, both people who are and who arent mentally handicapped are capable of being retarded.

2: Its the tankie servers that gave me a 3 day ban for using the word, the fucked sense of priorities I was talking about was their supposed heavy support of social justice issues while simultaneously supporting/believing Russia/China have done nothing wrong

The vast majority of people using the word Retard

I have had too many mentally challenged folk in my life, and they are offended by it. It's something to keep in mind.

the fucked sense of priorities... believing Russia/China have done nothing wrong

Oh yeah, they're idiots. Thank god they're not smart enough to make their dystopian wet-dream happen.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Thats fair, and tbh I'd never use the term around someone with a mental disability unless they told me to (which HAS happened) in person, but on the internet where a thicker skin is required in general, or around friends I dont really see a better blunt term for stupidity, idiot has the same problem as Retard and any term that works now will eventually be tainted by the few who DO use mental health terms derogatively

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Are you not allowed to on Reddit?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Instant three day ban, I believe. Site wide.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Really? That’s retarded.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Depends on the instance! Our dot ml friends can't say or even see it from others.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (2 children)

You’re allowed to do anything anywhere. All acts are permissible, in the grand scheme. I just don’t care to. Now bothering the people who want to say it, that’s my jam.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You’re allowed to do anything anywhere. All acts are permissible, in the grand scheme.

Feel like I should remember that more often in life.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

It doesn't work as a defense in court though

[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago

ok retard

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Are we ignoring the fact they did this until they were 16? I mean like, if this ended when they were 12 that'd be pretty par for the course kid idiocy. But 16? Damn dude.

Had to do x km/day on the static bike, because fat.

Got no time for that.

Old static bike, with mechanical revolution counter.

Unscrew spinning cable that feeds from the bike into the counter.

MacGyver Lego contraption, with motor, with a pointy bit that fits where the cable would go.

Motor goes brrr, do required km in seconds, plug cable back in, rinse and repeat;, parents never find out (I "exercised" while they were working).

Still fat. 😞

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Stationary bikes suck, riding on a real one is way more fun. I don't blame anyone for hating that

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Thus is a troll. No one says "dindin."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

This is a right of passage. Growing up there are times when you find out that the easy way to go about doing something is the way your parents were trying to pound into your head all along

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

some of ye all were just highly regarded

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I first read that as highly retarded, and thought it was a bit excessive.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

There's a reason you read it that way

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Rite* of passage

Write-off passage

If this isnt fake op may actually be on the spectrum. Washing yourself with the sink Is also called a catwash.

been plenty of times i ve been way to overtimulated to handle a full shower its much more manageable to wash and dry hair and body parts separately one by one.

Op learned what many autistic people do. Inventing an alternative method while masking it into the socially acceptable method.

It's also called a whore bath. He might just be a whore.

A friend of mine is a non-native English speaker. He teaches at an elementary school and works with 'English as a second language' students. He casually mentioned that he always tells his students to take a 'horse bath' in the bathroom sink after recess if needed. He was traumatized when I told him that he'd misheard that phrase for his entire adult life.

Reminds me of a snippet of conversation I overheard at the grocery. Kid’s talking to their mom and yells “child prostitution, ever heard of it?” She was pissed.
