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.

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.

@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? ✌️🔥

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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

Language! Its Scrum Main!

@retoor it was sarcasm
