Fag (cigarette) useage is heavily dropping off overall in the UK. Not even sure why it was a thing

Legitimately because a packet of cigarettes when opened looks like a human being of sticks. Cigarette smoking falling and people being aware of the US use of the word are both driving it out of popularity. But still, if you hear a British person say fag then the likelihood is extremely high that they do actually mean cigarettes. And if they say human being, which won't be particularly often, it's most often going to be in relation to a type of meatball.

I don't think the American use of fag or human being has ever really taken off here.

i remember a post from years back where someone explains how British tanks used to have these bundles of sticks on them to drop into trenches and help them cross easier and then it ended with something like "so what I'm saying is they could just use you instead."

I thought it was funny, and the gbs people following him to his own SA mart thread to harass him was a real sane thing normal people do.

A little ironic as the short-form f-word absolutely is a casual and neutral term referring to a cigarette. An english person asking to 'bum a fag' is making a fairly benign request.

I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to not be from the UK at all.

hi
we do exist
i made a a fairly in-depth post wrt this topic and my own views on it, related issues of ableism and the other recent slurstuff and problems I've seen around people accusing bigotry or discrimination & similar n the SAD small-q thread
it felt bad being probed for that post, im sure fd hadn't read it but that my basic unfiltered existence is so abnormal that people react negatively reflexively, a lot, they dont get it, under most circumstances. the problem isn't the choice of words people use to not like what you are with.



im not continuing any kind of debate or trying to say that this is stuff that needs to happen in gbs, but i want people to know that it is a thing and not a troll by people who found one cool trick to hurt people with disabilities :) its bc if people call u a fuckin retard like ten thousan year, you will have a fat grip of neurons that light up when the word is used OR implied via context, omission, u Smoothbrained Dummies and if you can make those connected to things that don't hurt you it makes the connections to the things that do not hurt not hurt as much or stop

people don't get what they're doing

this is really important if ppl want to get how to not be actually ableist btw i thought about it here you go:
the thing that makes it feel bad when someone's calling you retarded or anything else bc of a disability is they're saying 'you are broken that you are a broken and useless person because of something about you that is different & i don't like it and dont like you because of it and the way im treaing you is justified because of it and/or it's good that you're broken, because [whatever]
it doesn't really matter what the word is, doesn't really matter what the difference is, although larger differences hurt more and are hurt more
it's when people draw attention to something about you that's different or has some kinda difficulty or doesn't make sense to them and they say "that's poo poo and it makes you poo poo too, plus you were born that way and deserve you be that way and deserve bad things because you're that way, it's why i don't like you other people will think the same thing about you'

don't have to use Retard to express any of that and that's pretty cold. thats a pretty solid metric for how to tell what's hosed up or not, just stay out of that area because it is never true and hurts a lot
doesn't really matter what it was it you point at someone with a disability and go 'retard retard retard' what you're really saying is something along those lines to and that can happen without the pointing or the yelling or saying any specific words at all.

don't reduce people to the things that stick out as different or the things that they can't do well or cannot do anything about- that's what feels bad. treat people like people & pay attention to context e.g. :sam: was funny to me because it was such a roundabout way to say 'thats retarded', about people's diablo 4 takes and a bunch of people ended up actually watching the movie because of it like it's not the best movie but ppl with disabilities aren't represented very well at all, it was kinda activism like really mild activist trolling. it's rude yeah, but it's not mean.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6WHBO_Qc-Q i say why not :sam: people with disabilities are invisible. if you have seen community there's that character abed who's doing a self-aware rainman lampoon and i am somewhere in thr midpoint between that and rainman, who in that clip Robert Downey Jr says "Looks Retarded, Acts Retarded, Not Retarded", most people don't even know some people are like that. i am. i act like that. most people dont realize rainman-abed ppl who look and act retarded are real. i didn't lol. im like rain man with reading like how he looks at the toothpicks and Knows? i look at words and know, every letter in my field of vision is deciphered almost instantly and then i can recognize it or fragments of symbols, bodies of text, etc instantly and remember everything i read. that's why my posts will b so long i can't really tell i don't have to read the way rainman don't gotta count, 1 , 2

i have never actually seen rain man, i saw a clip the other day and saw how weird he acted and then watched a few more and realized abed was doing a rain man w/toned down autism the whole show and that the only semi accurate representation I've ever had of who i am to anyone ever is a movie that came out before i was born and a character based on it in a semi successful comedy show and all most people know about rain man even is probably that tropic thunder clip. people don't really get they're we're real, real rainmen are real. i am not trolling. pay attention! i act like that. not repeating stuff out loud but like im like that a LOT.
rainmen are real.🦆🐣🖕 gently caress you! 🖕🐣🦆I am a rainman
retard and i am proud of it 💪💪💪 #RetardStrong
glennsters are real. jokerpills are real. rain men are Real ifi have to scream retard from the highest tower i will i stg

stuff like what ive seen in the elon musk thread makes me feel bad because ppl make fun of his hosed off proprioception and speech issues and that kind of stuff, mine and rain mans are a lot like that not the retarded stuff he chooses to do but the basic motor dysfunction is incredibly similar to me and rain man and yo idk about rm & i know relon musk doesn't see it but i have and that makes me feel like poo poo lo l :( i didnt choose to be like this. my life has been so hard because of the way i am. i didn't choose to have neurological issues or be weird that stuff all feels a million times worse than people saying retard tbh, bc it feels like ppl think the same mean poo poo when i move around all retarded irl, or suck rear end at talking irl, and they have and that sucks, haba. :( rain men r hume men too . . . ☔
