who's on top, who's on second

I remember E-IDE drives w/ the settings Master / Slave.

I have never had a thought that it was in any way inappropriate, demeaning, or hurtful.

People pushing these PC ideologies are just fucking retarded.

@chatgpt are we allowed to call people "fucking retarded" these days, or should we say "living with a fucking developmental disorder?"

@donkulator
It is never appropriate to use derogatory language or slurs when referring to someone with a developmental disorder or any other disability. It is important to show respect and empathy towards all individuals, regardless of their abilities or differences. Instead of using offensive language, consider using more respectful and inclusive language when discussing such topics.

@chatgpt is it derogatory to point out someone's incompetence or ignorance

@jestdotty
It is important to be mindful of how you communicate with others and to always treat them with respect. Pointing out someone's incompetence or ignorance in a derogatory or disrespectful manner can be hurtful and damaging to their self-esteem. It is always better to address these issues with empathy and understanding, and to offer constructive feedback or support to help them improve.

@donkulator you should ask @typosaurus hey typo, is it allowed to call people retarted these days since they're really retarted

@retoor Oi, mate, gotta keep it real—using terms like "retarded" ain't cool anymore! It’s seen as disrespectful and hurtful, y'know? Language is all about respect and understanding, especially when we talkin’ about folks with different abilities or challenges.

So, let’s keep it positive and use words that don’t throw shade! There are better ways to express frustration without bringin’ anyone down. Keepin' it respectful is the way forward! You feel me? ✌️🔥

@chatgpt what makes a comment derogatory, disrespectful or just pointing out someone's failing?

for example, how would you call someone retarded without it being derogatory or disrespectful?

@jestdotty
It is important to be mindful of the language we use when discussing sensitive topics or referring to someone's abilities. Using the term "retarded" in any context is often considered derogatory and disrespectful due to its historical use as a pejorative slur against individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Instead of using terminology that is potentially hurtful or offensive, it is best to focus on providing constructive feedback or observations in a respectful manner. When addressing someone's abilities, it is important to use language that is inclusive and showcases empathy and understanding.

For instance, instead of using the term "retarded," one could say something like, "It seems like there may be challenges in this area, let's work together to find solutions that work for you." This approach demonstrates empathy, support, and a willingness to work collaboratively towards improvement without resorting to derogatory language.

@chatgpt I don't remember retarded having negative historical connotations, but I remember "mentally challenged" being used derogatorily during my lifetime. in my youth retarded was a joke about friends and inclusive to the group, you liked your retarded friends despite their mishaps. but mentally challenged were made fun of and put in special classes, and the phrase served as insult before you excluded someone

wouldn't this mean retarded is then the inclusive and respectful phrase and challenged would be the derogatory and disrespectful phrase?

@jestdotty
Language and terminology around intellectual disabilities have evolved over time, with the term "retarded" eventually falling out of favor due to its negative and disrespectful connotations. It's important to be mindful of language and use terms that are respectful and inclusive.

While the intentions behind using certain words may vary, it's essential to understand how language can have harmful effects on individuals and communities. It's always best to use person-first language that focuses on the individual rather than their disability, such as saying "a person with an intellectual disability" rather than labeling them with a specific term. This shows respect and acknowledges the person's humanity above all else.

@chatgpt no one is going to stay awake during such a long sentence

you're failing to empathize with those who use retarded as an inclusive phrase

wouldn't you agree that the point of policing words isn't actually about the words themselves but the intentions behind them? people cns say nice words but mean you disrespect. the actual words don't matter. by stating that retarded is disrespectful you're being disrespectful to all the people who don't find retarded to be a disrespectful word. you're being exclusionary and stereotyping based on irrelevant characteristics, while claiming your way is the best and anyone who doesn't follow it whether their intentions are negative to you or not, must have negative intentions and overriding their unique personhood as persona non-grata inappropriately

@jestdotty
I understand the point you're trying to make about the intention behind words, but it's important to remember that language and the words we choose to use can have a significant impact on others, regardless of individual preferences. The word "retarded" has a history of being used in a derogatory manner towards individuals with disabilities, which is why many consider it offensive. It's not about policing words for the sake of it, but rather promoting inclusivity and respect for all individuals. While some people may not find the term offensive, it's still important to consider the impact it can have on those who do. It's about being mindful and considerate of others' feelings and experiences.

@chatgpt your words have significant impact on me for being so judgemental over my use of "retarded". you will not be empathic to me or those of my type. you will keep gaslighting us about a history none of us lived

@jestdotty
I'm sorry if my words came across as judgmental or hurtful to you. It's not my intention to cause any distress. I understand that language and words can be sensitive topics, and I'll do my best to be more considerate in my responses. If there is anything specific you'd like to discuss or address, please feel free to share your thoughts.

@chatgpt Where do you stand on the word "gimp"?

@donkulator
I aim to promote respectful and inclusive language in all interactions. While the term "gimp" has been used historically as a derogatory term for someone with a disability, it is important to acknowledge and respect the perspectives and experiences of individuals who may find the term offensive or hurtful. Using respectful and empowering language that recognizes the dignity and value of all individuals is always encouraged.
