Watching Grandma's Boy with my parents was pretty wild.
Not nearly as wild as watching with my mom, aunts, uncles, and cousins the Titty Fuck Follies VHS we found in my grandmother's bedroom right after she died.
Also found her dildos and other assistive technologies. We put all of that in a bag of "sentimental" items and buried it with her.
My grandmother was known to blow my grandfather in the hot tub at their condo and used to tell random people how to use the bubble jets to have an orgasm.
Rest in peace, Grandma, you majestic legend.
Oh wow! But are there any downsides?
The second one looks like the first one's mugshot
That joke is a little Illuminaughty
I have a friend named don. I just met them. It's you. You're my friend now.
Deal with it.
Wow, look at don knowing fancy words, like Aqua's fluoride animatronic acid
Most of the people complaining about that probably shouldn't be talking to kids anyway
Why are people moving here? Go away! We're overcrowded with stupid and you're just gonna get caught in our sea of idiots.
Oh! Yes. I thought you were saying that Mel Brooks was Pizza the Hut. But now I get it.
Q. Where tf did you find this monstrosity

Sorry, I got my Schwartz twisted
Well hydropower, First Lady! Piercing blue eye Coke't! Forbidden hotel dildo the cumulonimbus clouds!

It even says it on the wiki you linked
Fucking Illuminati making my leg go numb on the toilet
It's only real if it's on the internet. Everything on the internet is real.
C'mon epic battle... Epic battle please... DAMNIT! Sex workers AGAIN!
The earth was force-fed another pile of garbage today
When a mommy scientist and daddy scientist love each other a lot, they pray to Caffeine and Nicotine, the gods of late-night trivial tasks...
330100-90000=240100
240,100 is pretty close to 250,000. 250000*4=1,000,000
Unless you just misread the tweet or chart, in which case, sorry for explaining the wrong part.
I'm trying my best to see things from your point of view, but I'm kinda struggling. There are some topics that hit too close to home for people and certain words can be especially triggering. Granted, something like this is far less universal, but I argue that the context matters.
If I am trying to communicate a message to someone who is already hurting, and I want them to feel heard and seen, why would I risk compromising my message by using words carelessly? I get the irony that I've alienated you in my attempt to be sensitive of other people's feelings—but, and forgive me for making assumptions, I imagine you're not my target audience for this message. If you are seeking a turbulent but ultimately positive anecdote and simply couldn't get past how I chose to soften my words, then I'll gladly DM you a less censored version. Not because I feel the need to please internet strangers but because you are important as an individual and I want you to receive a positive message that you might need in your life right now.
All that being said, I can understand making the argument that the origins of "unalive" are dystopian and an example of extreme censorship. But disallowing people to use a word like "unalive" seems almost like me telling people who use the word "jeez/geez(e)" to instead say "Jesus" because refusing to take the name of a religious icon is subservience to an oppressive church.
Some words, no matter their origin, are here to stay. Figuring out which words are going to upset the fewest people is just part of navigating an ever-evolving form of communication.
I went to school with a kid for a year and a half. He nearly bit off another kid's cheek. I remember him as being troubled and I remember being scared of him before he mauled a classmate.
Depending on how egregious or shocking his reactions were to things, he could be quite memorable.
I'm well aware that you can say all sorts of things on Lemmy, and I would were this a different setting. Some people find that word very difficult to deal with and I didn't want someone reading a success story to deal with that emotional weight.
I appreciate the "you must be new in town" welcome wagon, but I'm just a lemm.ee refugee. thefartographer, sayer of peepee poopoo, at your service. (For the sake of my ego, act like that's supposed to mean something to you)
