Because none of them work.

      No … I’m just retarded.

      I guess I need to get that plate for myself then :(

      This is what happens when you comment without reviewing.

      If you’re wondering, I should have corrected it to say

      My old neighbor a long time ago rode a motorcycle with a plate in the back that said …

      Retired, not Retarded

      I’ll leave the stupidity in place because I think it’s funny

        Thank you for posting what you meant to say. I read your original post and then the screenshot of the post and thought I was having a stroke.

        My instance (lemmy.ml) censors certain words, so for me it shows up as “removed”. I had to view this post on lemmy.ca to view your original comment.

        For anyone else whose instance censors words, the “removed” word was “regarded”, but replace “g” with “t”.

          So if I write “He’s my first cousin, twice retarded”, it will mean very different things depending on what instance it’s read from.

          EDIT: put it in all in italics for extra confusion.

          Got it … I didn’t know instances could censor out certain words … it makes sense though

          I try to be careful with my posts and commenting to try to stay in line with rules and decorum but I find myself often tripping over my own tongue either with the words I misuse or the ideas I spit out without thinking

          The ‘R’ word here is a bit of a stretch as the word can be used in ways that have nothing to do with personal insults or degradation … but I do understand why it needs to be controlled because it’s been used so abusively on the internet

          It’s another item I will have to be careful about so thanks for the heads up.
