See, here you go being totally out of touch again. Socially retarded implies that a person is "a retard" (but only socially! ). Calling people retarded in any context IS a slur. Projects can be retarded (by unforseen barriers). The growth of microbes can be retarded (experimentally). But as soon as you use the word…

See, perfect example of using the word in an offensive way.

A)Kindly fuck off. Seriously, every post you've made this morning is maxxed out on bitchiness so maybe it's time you had a nap?

A) how many generations off are you? I feel like you just tried to use gen-x lingo to insult a millennial.

So you're so socially inept that you think "retarded" is an acceptable insult?

It's so unsafe to use a phone at all on the road. I honestly think that contact falls into: this conversation would be better had in real time conversation or thos conversation can be communicated via text.

Maybe I'm just another millennial chiming in, but only an old would think it was anything but obnoxious to waste time with a voicemail. If I miss your call, I will fucking call you back. If what you have to say isn't important enough to merit a callback, text or email that shit.

Haha, you're so old you think the language of the youth is abrasive and scary when it's actually just lingo.

I've seen homeless people with cellphones. Everyone has a cell phone. Even if we didn't, caller id has been around since the 90's. You don't need a smart phone to NOT need a voicemail.

Aah, I Jez from my phone. I tried BBcode and asterisks, but it looks like if I want inflection i'll have use a computer like an old.

I almost like the concept, and the color and details of the dress are lovely, but the way it's cut makes it look like her hips are oddly lumpy. Why is her abdomen shaped like that?!

I'm sure Kim has no idea what nori is.

I love Kanye always and forever. You can't convince me that he's not a genius just playing a jerk. The most glorious, over the top, genius jerk megalomaniac to ever live.

You're not wrong, but you should take a nap.

I was just trying to think of a nickname that might be redemptive. I knew a guy named Francis Marion (some crazy last name involving a fish) the 4th. But we just called him Frankie.

You may have good intentions, but every time someone suggests that the other person get therapy in the middle of a disagreement, it seems like a cheap shot. But yes, I already have someone I see. But no, I really think the original language was so distinctly similar to such a classic argument that I can't be the…

I'm in waaaay over my head here. I know physics and I know literature and I know hedgehogs, but law? Clueless.

Yes. I get that a lot of us have been raped. Which is why the wording of the post I was originally responding to bugged me. Lord knows we've all heard that argument before. Triggers.

I think the fact that you are still getting caught up on the comparison I made, which was totally fucking valid, means that you're just in the mood to be an ass but,

GrauGeist got defensive because you were accusing him/her of being something they are not. And it was a horrible something. You can't fuck with people and expect them not to react.
