Is "retard" a slur?

  • One day redneck and hillbilly will be considered slurs too. Mark my words.

    They already are

  • Why is this getting downvotes?

  • Contramuffin. (2024). Describing my job: I do science. Lemmy World, 78(9), 69-420.

  • Found it! It's almost 3 hrs long, so you know what that means: a glass of wine, your favorite easy chair, and of course, this YouTube video streaming on your home system. So, go on, and indulge yourself. That's right, kick off your shoes, put your feet up, lean back and just enjoy the rational documentary. After all, knowledge soothes even the savage lemming.

  • it's part of the conspilluminati

  • YESSS! Rice 20 pounders and the pork shoulders.

  • Remembering from my social psychology classes in undergrad, I believe number is 150. But yes, that's a good point. It's one of the reasons people in major urban areas like NYC are capable of moving on with their lives when terrible things happen to those around them. We biologically can't care about people once we reach our 150 limit. Btw, I think the authors of that theory argued that that number is one of the major differences between us and other social species.

  • No, crows guarded the Wall. The messenger birds were ravens.

  • Goodridge, aged forty when she completed the miniature, depicts breasts that appear imbued with a "balance, paleness, and buoyancy" by the harmony of light, color, and balance.

    There's no way her tits looked like that at 40. No sir, I'm not buying it. 🐴

  • So out of the 345 computers in Antarctica, one is Linux.

  • that's fine because i don't download copyrighted material. everything on furries.com is freely available.

  • This makes sense given the popular knowledge at the time. The reason Columbus set sail wasn't because he was a genius that knew the Earth was round when everyone else didn't. We knew the Earth was round since antiquity. I can't remember who1, but some ancient Greek had calculated the circumference of the Earth using the angle of a shadow, distance to a equinox solstice, and simple trigonometry. They guy was less than 5% off with his rudimentary calculation, which is impressive considering that he paid some dude to measure the distance between two towns by walking it. Anyways, the Western Europeans thought that Japan was farther east, somewhere around where the words "Terra florida" are on this map if I recall correctly from memory. When the Niña, Pinta, and Santa Marimba (party boat! jk, it was Santa Maria named after the "virgin") landed on the most beautiful land that human eyes had ever seen, they knew they hadn't landed on Zipangri/Cipangu/Japan. Instead, they thought they had landed on some island off of India, which is why they called the locals "Indios" (Indians). Anyways part 2, they thought that Japan was much further east than it was. I imagine that since they hadn't found it for this map yet, they though it must be right out of sight of the western coast of North Vespucci (America).

    What I'm curious about is that 7448 inflating archipelago. Anyone have an idea on what that's about?

    1: The dude was Eratosthenes. Thanks, @user134450@feddit.org!
