The R word is a word used all the time. Just because you only know it as a neurological slur, doesn’t mean we censor it for your sake
But, yes, it was used as a slur specific to neurology in this case, arguably. So, “Learn what the word ‘retard’ means, you morons.” would’ve been a more appropriate response, apparently…
Edit: Sorry, so many typos. I’ve had a couple scotches. Need a scotch retardant. WATER!!!
Don’t forget Suuuupeeer Intelligence by Vibe
Mere mortals exceed these planes!
Yes, exceed… Such is this magic.
I don’t mind if people are dumb, slow, whatever. It’s out of my control so, meh. But when I’m put into risk I give a fuck.
My biggest hate is people just stopping or crawling on a road as they think of want they want to do next. Because so often there’s some other idiot on their phone that could be behind me that hasn’t noticed the idiot in front of me has slowed down to 20kph for their situational ponderings.
Feels like more and more these days I’m looking into the rearview mirror anxiously saying, “Oh my god, MOVE.”
abandoned because its unmaintainable
Exactly this. It’s hard enough maintaining my own code. It can take a good 15 mins or so to familiarise myself with something I haven’t worked on in a short while. Seeing code that isn’t mine is very challenging. Not the code itself, but the methods and structures used by the other person. All that has to be done before hunting bugs and adjusting features. Then of course there’s the things you don’t know about that can be easily missed.
An AI would need to thoroughly know the code and detailed context on the decisions behind it all, every session, in order to be able to maintain it with vibe, because the vibe coder won’t know any of this.
Uh, yeah! Mine too. All the pirate stuff has been my damned appliances. I delete the files immediately, of course. I wouldn’t even steal a car, let alone a movie.
I imagine the 100+ fps crowd will complain that the game’s hard.
Well, I guess less gamers will have their PCs catch on fire.
Is half of that RAM backup for when the first 32 dies or does he actually do something needing 64?
I don’t get this whole cancel English thing. It’s cancelling a word because of its literal definition and substituting it with an alternative word loosely given the same definition.
Except in the case of “plus-sized”, I think that holds some actual negative context. It sounds like an insult because you’re calling someone obese, but you think they’re so obese that you need to be cautious about it.
Imagine Greece gives them to the Persians instead.
Yeah, to me that’s normal. But if I think about it, it’s been more 50/50. Of course none of this starts happening for anyone in the relationship until around end of month three, aka. the honeymoon phase is over and you’re no longer dating each other’s PR reps.
The relationship has started when someone has let out a fart on the couch and it wasn’t socially weird, like it would’ve been hour three into date 1.
Ladies… Your partner knows you fart. You don’t know that they know, but they know. You may have been holding them in most of the day, keeping up appearances for the myth, but the day does end, and you do sleep. At this point, it all comes out, audibly and now stinkier than what it would’ve been a couple hours ago.
You don’t know how many times you’ve Dutch ovened your partner, but it’s been quite a few. On some occasions, they’ve even quietly left the bedroom for a few mins in utter shock. They’ll never tell you because they’re too nice, but here lies the avoidable irony of your actions…just let them out as designed. They won’t care. If they do, recommend them a sex doll since being a human apparently isn’t doing it for them.
Source: Every female partner I’ve been with that does this.
Oh, good. Hadn’t seen a Discord data breach article in a short while so was wondering if I’d slipped into a coma. All is normal.
Plays on the fact that we know airplanes don’t talk.
Initially we think, “Airplane doesn’t say much” is because it’s a machine and the animals are dumb. A crazy chaotic thing happens. Then even crazier, the airplane talks. Then funnily is told to shut up.
I imagine most Linux communities have half a dozen or so online users, at any given time, just refreshing the New Posts section waiting to fix someone’s problem and blow their mind.
Yeah, all-nighters are easy. It’s more the ~24 hrs+ cliff that comes out of nowhere that’s rough. Then there’s the battle to power on for another 14-15 hrs through the waves of highs and lows, because I’d rather that than sleep during the day and blow up the sleeping pattern.
Pulling all-nighters for gaming shows very little experience with pulling all-nighters.
No one’s going to believe a drawing board disappeared a body.
Still is a medical term, for example, a retarded dose is one where the drug is released at a slowed pace.
Same usage as retarded timing in engines by delaying the spark. Then there’s all the chemical retarders for delaying reactions, like in mixing concrete or epoxy.
If you know music, you know ritard on tempo control.
If you get offended by “the R word” don’t ever become a pilot because the cockpit will exclaim “Retard! Retard! Retard!” on landing when you’ve neglected the throttle and it needs to be shortened.
Because of exactly what it means, it’s super common and useful. Ignorant people’s minds just go straight to a slur, probably because they used to use it as one.
