To every smoothbrain that responded thusly, if you only use a word in private amongst certain other people, then it feels a lot like we both know that’s a word you shouldn’t use.
Hilarious to call people "smoothbrain" while decrying "retard" Clearly it doesn't bother you when someone's intellect is questioned, so what's the issue?
Does anyone know if something like this for Twitter exist ?
I would like to open it up more generically to allow for sharing any ideas (like from not Reddit) -- the platform isn't tied to it. The big issue for me is accountability. People make public claims and delete the things that didn't work out, so a lot of platforms can be gamed. On Reddit, the titles of posts can never be deleted so that provides one way to verify it. I think that's valuable if you can start auto-addin…

Maybe this isn't ideal for the homepage > Okay Retards, I will make this long because apparently you Apes seem to like long posts, even when a YOLO opportunity like this But what do I know, I'm just a triggered liberal. Edit: I understand how they use the "r" word on WSB as it's been in the mainstream news for a year. I'm saying that it reflects poorly on a business, signaling that it failed due diligence, on there h…

That’s lovely. Bad news is a bunch of edgelords don’t get to dictate how language is used or what it means.
Bad news is that they do and are. I mean it's basically the same kind of people that turned a word that simply meant 'delayed' into a slur.
This is not an example of that though, since "retarded" is not a slur in WSB, it's the opposite.
Does the r. in front of everyone's name stand for Robot? This is cool. If you follow /r/wsb, you know half the damn sub has the idea to create this site once a week. But you actually did it. Great work.
So this is a quick hack -- I have a user registration system but I didn't want people parking on reddit usernames. For any user that gets scraped from Reddit I add a "r." in front of their username. The '.' character is invalid in usernames that are user-created. If you sign in with Reddit, you can change the username to whatever. Thanks! I'm unable to post it there unfortunately (or really anywhere on stocks subredd…
