A 31-year-old Florida man
Anyone else go straight to what state it’s in and you’re never surprised? It’s always the ones you most expect.
Yeah it’s from an arrest record, which is public in Florida. Which is why people associate crazy with it. Promise people are equally stupid elsewhere.
Walking around like regular people. They don’t see each other. They only see what they want to see. They don’t know they’re stupid.

genuinely, what word should people use when referring to someone’s lack of intelligence?
Removed by mod
when is the last time you’ve interacted with the general public? like, in person, not on a carefully curated internet box?
I actually expected it to be Texas.
That’s why I said “it’s always the ones you most expect,” plural.
There are a few states where I could see this happening.

I… when was stupid an ableist slur? From what I understand it is basically stupor. Just… being temporarily not fully focused mentally….
It’s not the R word, or even the one referring to people who can’t speak. Or even idiot which I still think is pretty far removed from being used to refer to those with disabilities at this point in common language even if it may have AGES ago but would understandably avoid if you’d asked.
Like… do you want me to say “person with not-smartness?” Like I understand not wanting to be ableist but I don’t think this is. People can do things that aren’t smart sometimes. It’s fine.
Cele replied to me and cele thinks intelligence is rooted in eugenicism.

Please do not take this the wrong way… but this account has to be a joke right? How does someone who gets triggered by the word “dad” and “love” become a mod? Or more importantly, why?
Your profile is telling people not to use extremely common words in your presence.
I think cele’s being genuine, which is… yikes. If someone’s triggers are so common and overwhelming, they really need to be in serious therapy, not moderating an open forum which will frequently feature those triggers.

yeah that’s fair

Hi friend, just to understand, what sort of language would you prefer be used that carries the same weight and connotation to the target of discussion? I’m struggling to find other words that weild the same intentions that couldn’t be categorized under “ableist”.

I find it funny that this and other similar words considered ableist suggest instead the term “dipshit”. Okay, that works for me, as long as the vocab police are good with it.
Totally not fragile. Nope.
I wish I could understand how the impulse to behave this way is not immediately curtailed by the embarrassment of it. Was there a timeline in this man’s head where he could throw his tea at the flag, tear it off the wall, and then just go about his day?
Imagine going to work - in a funeral parlour of all places - and having your colleagues know that decor in a private establishment was enough to make you blow a gasket. What if a grieving client puts a pride next to their loved one during a service? I’d be so embarrassed I would resign and move to a different state.
The sad truth is that many Republicans simply don’t feel shame. I don’t know if it’s some developmental issue from their upbringing or just an inability to connect their actions to future consequences, but once you realize they are deficient it explains so many of their crashouts.
Seems directly related to their lack of empathy.
I’d replace it with two LGBTQ flags.
Every time they rip one down, two go up
Replace it with another version of the pride flag
Offensive to whom?
