Saw a clip of ol Neil coming along and saying that Mount Everest wasn't the highest point on Earth to a physicist because of the equatorial bulge and "sea level" not mattering to physicists.
Yeah sure just blatantly disregard the entire human perspective of the world and how we as people relate to it to say make up some dumb "gotcha haha" to sound smart.
So many people, him specifically, are incapable of framing things in a non dismissive way. It could have been an interesting point or piece of information about how how large the equatorial bulge is, but he'd rather come off as an insufferable nerd.
Maybe chill with the ableism. You can call a removed a removed without bringing disability into it.
I think you're referring to the gardening implement, but Hexbear did a funny to your comment:
What's confusing about being told to chill it with the ableism? You used dyslexic as a slur.
Edit: and then misspelt another slur
I'm gonna be real with you sib, this has levels. First of all, you don't know what ableism is? Are you 10? Even if you hadn't encountered the word before, are you seriously so ignorant that you can't guess a definition from the fact that it's made up of "able" and "ism"? Even worse, you know you could look it up, but you're rather remain ignorant. What the fuck kind of respect do you think you're gonna get for saying you're an idiot that doesn't want to learn?
Well take a second to overlook those things though, take the wider view of you refusing to look into a word you're unfamiliar with because it's "lingoism". So you won't find out what a real word means because of a word you just made up. What is it even supposed to mean - some sort of language ideology? Are you saying you won't look it up because it's a word? The entire premise is just so fucking incoherent.
You already used "caunt", so there's 2 possibilities here: either yes you do censor yourself, otherwise you'd be writing shit and c**t, or you're just dyslexic, in which case you're trying to insult people by saying they're just like you.
Whatever the case is for either part, it is extraordinarily evident that you're thicker than pig shit. Just stay on gitbhub, you don't have the intelligence for opinions.
What the fuck are you on about sports for? I'm telling you to look in a dictionary if you don't know what a word means. There's no competition here, I'm trying to teach you basic facts that everyone else already knows.
Here, I'll show you what I meant.
You are a C U N T
See? No using a disability as an insult, just right to the point. Does that make sense?
I just told you you don't have to guess you dumb fuck, ableism actually appears in dictionaries. Unlike "lingoism", a word with no defined meaning, because you just made it up.
For fucks sake, you can't even spell able, you have no right to call anyone dyslexic.
