What's the matter,scared?

Explain to me in your own words why retard would be offensive and smooth brain would not.

I don't really consider either words offensive in the context of a poo poo posting internet forum as long as they are not explicitly aimed at disabled people. Also I'm pretty sure the smooth brain catchphrase started on this forum as a reference to an anime on adult swim and that most people were not trying to make fun of disabled people when they said smoothbrain anymore than when they would use donkey brain. That being said I'm not really here to demand the ability to call people retards, Im probably not going to do so either way

smdh you're supposed to ritually renounce your privilege before and after sleep.

the head of the faithless dog samantonio is to be brought before an LGBT bipoc by dawn. its polite to knock first. remember it is not your place to object to the lived experience of those who receive your oblation. present the offering sincerely and silently withdraw from the scene if you are unable to humbly accept the blows/bullets/long jail sentences with which you are blessed.

Does this mean ESL goons are allowed to use retard? The ESL meaning is referencing online use, not mediealderen terminology.

when I took french in high school I turned something in late and I got it back with half the points taken off and at the top of the page in all caps and underlined was the word RETARD. I was like 'wtf is this bitch's problem???" and i was going to raise a stink until my friend pointed out that she was saying my homework was late

um, sweetie, im sorry but we dont use that word anymore

anyways, our snooping software says that you werent at your computer for the full 8 hours of your shift. says you had multiple times of inactivity well over 20 seconds or more.

this is your final warning, your next warning will be job termination.

also please make sure to only take 30 minute lunches!
