  • I grew up in the 90s, theses were used by everyone all the time. I still use these, even though I don’t like to. Though, if any of an excuse, I don’t use them to denigrate those disabled or homosexual.

    “Retard” is used for any person or thing that is hard to work with, complex to use. Anything complex that takes up a lot time, not simple to use. My oven clock is “retarded” as it isn’t intuitive when trying to set the time. I am “retarded” for not taking the time to pull out the manual and learn how to set it after the power goes out.

    “Gay” is for anything or anyone that is dramatic, causing a situation or problem when there isn’t one. For people who are overly sensitive, who take offense at “sub conscious facial micro aggression” of others.

    I grew up beating up the bullies of disabled kids. When I got older, I became a lgtbq advocate and donated time\money to charity that supports them. Am I trying to excuse my behavior by still using these …?..




  • Some of the best corporate holiday parties I’ve been to were at small startups i worked at. Great end of year bonuses as well. Office kitchens filled with free snacks \ drinks and paid lunches on Fridays.

    Eventually, they all hire accountants, business analysts, or financial officers. And it’s the same every time - they all start “cost cutting”… First the free food and lunches stop. Then the end of year parties. Then they complain about it being “a lean year” so they have to cut bonuses (about the same time they switch to “unlimited PTO” but guilt you into not taking any nor do they have to pay you out when you quit).

    The best is around August or so, they post the financials and thank everyone for helping the company “smash” goals \ previous records, but then have some soulless mid level manager tell everyone at the end of the year they didn’t “meet expectations” so they don’t qualify for a raise.

    God, I’m still bitter…
