This is important. While we as a society have learned to be more inclusive than ever before, behind all that pretense we forget that what people generally consider as "retarded" isnt desirable. It is a genuine developmental impairment that negatively affects the individuals cognitive abilities. Not one parent in the world is glad their kid is special. They may love and support them just the same because they aren't fucking ghouls, but if they had one wish no questions asked I'm sure virtually all of them would wish for their child to be "normal".

And therein lies the truth/problem. We use retarded as a slur because it describes a condition of inferiority. Shifting the window of acceptable speech will not change this, only rephrase it. Policing language never truly works, eventually a different word for the same meaning takes hold, so all this does is spin the wheel of synonyms.

Why not let people enjoy things if it gives them happiness?

(Not a fan myself, as a disclaimer)

I dont think we need to tread so lightly around this topic, since we already know that brain mass does not directly tie to intelligence from the simple fact that women have smaller brains on average but are not less mentally capable than men.

Nobody arguing or even just reading this in good faith would try to frame this as women being mentally inferior.

First thing NK does i can get behind

But then why all the elaborate, intrusive and likely expensive (for the corp) user profiling? If the most effective advertising is just blasting random mildly related suggestions at the consumer that seems a huge waste of money.

🤨 you will probably want to ask your tutor for your money back.

"Shmatterling" is the closest sounding english approximation.

What annoys me personally about it (to the point that i blocked the community) is that it is mandatory. That's not humor, or funny, that is weird performative scripted humor. I often felt reminded of carnival speeches.

I'd also argue that it isnt very successful in clearing anglicisms from the german vernacular when it is all about making the most incorrect and cryptic literal translation imaginable to the point that nobody could understand unless they are well versed in those anglicisms.

it is only me_irl in name though, it is a general meme / conversational community with the obnoxious (and over used to death) in joke that is zangendeutsch.

The french call potatoes earth apples. Pomme de terre.

It is also an older german term for them, though I believe austria still uses it: Erdapfel.

Is that a recent change? I somewhat distinctly remember being offered Fdroid during the initial setup as well.

Is it really endorsement to offer the user upon initial setup to install it, along with fdroid?

I'd say that's just general compatibility, most users have at least one play store app they can't just stop using, in my case that would be the banking apps I need to be able to pay online.

Just reinstalled to make sure, but didn't help (see other comment)
