Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•‘R-tarded’ is a slur, and I’m sick of otherwise “liberal” people going along with the right’s move to renormalize itEnglish
2·5 months agoHistorical context matters.
N igger came from the word Negro which just means black, but slavery and abuse of black people has changed the context of the word.
Dumb and negative iq do not have the same historical context as R etard.

32·5 months agoOP, fuck these people.
Anyone who thinks that words mean nothing and that historical context is irrelevant are probably people who have never been on the receiving end of these words being used to dehumanize them.
And all of you people, would you also use:
- n igger
- f aggot
- sand n igger
- ching chong
Or did any of those make you feel wrong? Maybe you don’t actually think that slurs should be used but instead don’t realize the impact of r etard as opposed to whatever made you uncomfortable in that list.

32·5 months agoQuite the imaginary slippery slope you made up there.

31·5 months agoThe R word means non of what you said.
Dumbass, asshole, giant turd, negative iq, dumber than a turd, smooth brained, piece of shit, fuck face, etc.
Get creative, no need to insult innocent people by using slurs.
This is no different than calling someone the N word, and I’m sure that while some people use the N word as an insult, you probably don’t, right?

The irony of this meme is what really makes it hilarious

Today I Learned (TIL)@lemmy.ca•TIL why you're not supposed to cook or drink hot tap water - it's the lead (and other heavy metals)
6·5 months agoFor countries without lead issues, it is still a bad idea as hot water tanks can be hosts to a bunch of shit you definitely don’t want to ingest.
Considering the high overlap between Lemmy users and internet savvy people, I would say that we are not a good representation.
I mean if it’s a charity than it is essentially a voluntary position, which is okay. Just bad wording.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What open source project is the most exciting for you right now?
2·5 months agoDoubt that it would be Meshtastic, it is inherently not built for internet levels of bandwidth. But I can see a future where you have intranets that are free and community driven with something like Meshtastic with higher bandwidth and you still pay for an ISP that can give you access to the full internet (because nothing currently can replace underwater optic fiber)

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's an artificial limitation you put on yourself that has improved your personal life?
7·5 months agoFor relationships: “Is what i’m about to say/do benifical to me, this person, or the relationship?”
If not, maybe it is me ego or hurt feelings, and so I should ignore it for now and if I feel the need to, I can later analyse it and decide again.
Also, never go hungry or emotional to the grocery store.

You choose which emotions to empower and which to discourage. I think Buddha said it?
Basically, you really can choose to focus on the good parts of life/an event and you don’t have to let the negatives consume you.
