And this is the curse of the two party system in action. In reality, we have more in common with one another than we think, save for those solely driven by bigotry and fear(and there’s a lot of those)

I mean there’s already a school of thought that “disabled” has a negative connotation to it, that’s where the term “differently-abled” comes in.

It’s all kind of a dance to not hurt anyone’s feelings.

The reason I bring these words up is every one of them was originally a medical diagnosis, that eventually became offensive so they changed it to retarded, which has now itself become offensive, which then became special ed/sped, or special needs, which are now going the way of retard and becoming offensive.

The line of which of those words is a slur is entirely arbitrary.

Euphemism treadmill go brrr

Okay. Would you say the same applies to the word idiot? Imbecile? Moron? Are any of those slurs?

Is calling someone stupid a slur? Not saying that’s what the previous poster said, legitimate question

As best as I can tell, and it’s a bit of a stretch, the implication may be at “my mans” stems from AVE, and therefore asking if people talk like that translates to being racist.

I don’t agree with the thought process or conclusion, but that’s the best I got

That’s a good call. You’ll get a few .ml users here defending the place, but they really are pretty heavily authoritarian shills at the end of the day

When’s the last time you tried?

I’ve been gaming on bazzite and haven’t found a game that doesn’t work. Haven’t had to touch a command line or anything, everything has been stable out of the box
