I can’t hit anything with a dagger because I’m too stupid to read” doesn’t come close

This happens 3 seconds into the game, and very few modern gamers will ever RTFM. It’s far more likely to be a hard wall to a newcomer. I wouldn’t blame them, either. Invisible stamina-based dice rolls was certainly a choice.

Oblivion’s system took time to break down - long enough to actually get players invested, at least.

(Maybe someone on F-droid could get on that?)

Seconded! I read and thought the same things, something like that would be huge right now. Hell of a time crunch and hostile work environment, but it could save a lot of lives.

Easily the most underrated moment of the election was when the sofa-king Shady Vance said that the US has the “cleanest energy economy in the world.” On stage! On television!

That’s not even revisionist, it’s just straight double think. Decades of holding the nation back in an outdated dirty energy economy, from Reagan ripping solar panels off the white house roof to Trump ripping EV chargers out of federal parking lots.

Decades of fighting any and all clean energy initiatives and they just… pretend it never happened. Gaslit the country into thinking that we already accomplished all of the progress that they personally prevented. The progress that we still desperately need to this day.

But what you can’t do is tell them not to say it.

… lol. That’s not how freedom works. I can tell them whatever I want. That’s how freedom works. But go on with your freedom. Go use the N word like that on the streets of a major city, we’ll see how you hold up with that half-assed ideal when people rightfully tell you to stop.

It’s sort of like telling someone who smokes, that it’s bad for them, they know, you don’t need to remind them.

If a famous celebrity tells people that smoking is good for them, should that go unchallenged?

Right… we’re all here in this thread because Joe Rogan says we should say the word. That it’s good for our culture. I’m suggesting that we probably shouldn’t say the word. That it’s bad for our culture.

The people who use an outdated perjorative for “intellectual disability” when they want to insult others.

yeah but who uses it like that? I don’t. I just use it because i think it’s a funny word and i think it has situational comedy potential.

Can you please use the word in a context that is not insulting?

How would you describe someone or something as “retarded” without implying that there is something wrong with the person or thing?

who is saying that an intellectual disability is a bad thing?

The people who use an outdated perjorative for “intellectual disability” when they want to insult others.

should you? Probably not, would it be justified, yes.

So, we agree that you probably shouldn’t use the word?

It’s not my words, the source is from 2013. It’s not about me being offended, it’s literally the social security administration explaining why it stopped using the word “retarded”… 12 years ago. Because it was and remains offensive.

But sure, this is the type of culture America needs more of.

For you see, I have labelled myself as the Chad and them as the weak liberal, therefore I win! Great victory for strongmen everywhere!

Keep arguing with your imaginary friends then. Enjoy.

The tables turned…? I never once changed the conversation, so this childish “I’m rubber and you’re glue” routine doesn’t even make sense here. Go off I guess.

“Wahh I still can’t come up with any good faith argument so I’m gonna segue into some other sad little thing I get upset about and call you a hypocrite with absolutely no evidence!”

I know, I know, we need to be considerate of men’s feelings. We need to be so considerate towards men that we should bring it up when it has nothing to do with the conversation.

But we don’t need to be considerate of the feelings of humanity’s most vulnerable populations. Who has the time? Who has the virtue?

Thanks, more bad faith “wahh we can’t be bothered to consider people’s feelings!”

Who has the time, I know. There’s just not enough time in the world for you to ever change the way you think or act. Better just keep on never growing or improving. Never change a single thing about the way you interact with others.

I get it. It’s just too hard for you to be considerate of others. Too much time, too much effort.

Why are we changing the term “mental retardation” to “intellectual disability”?

The term “intellectual disability” is gradually replacing the term “mental retardation” nationwide. Advocates for individuals with intellectual disability have rightfully asserted that the term “mental retardation” has negative connotations, has become offensive to many people, and often results in misunderstandings about the nature of the disorder and those who have it.

Thanks for the totally good faith argument.

The easy, pointless, thought-terminating cliche against empathy. Well done.

“It’s just ivory tower liberalism wahhh nobody actually cares!”

You pretend to be offended so you can signal to others that you are virtuous.

See, this is the part where I get to stop being nice. This is childish, rude, and stupid. You are falling back to wildly presumptive insults because you cannot defend your behavior. It costs you absolutely fucking nothing to be considerate.

Right, because it was being used as a slur. They stopped using that word to define those conditions because it was being used as a slur. Thanks for the good faith argument.

Enjoy being edgy, I guess. It’s sad to see so many people are so easily swayed by the idea that empathy is weakness. It costs absolutely nothing to be considerate.
