    Facebook promoted a video going around where someone made an animation showing the pokemon sizes relative to a pokeball and a human.

    I almost turned it off in the first 10 seconds because it mislabeled Caterpie as diglett. Diglett was behind caterpie and properly labeled.

    i agree on principle

    but i had a guy at work the other day "accidentally" change a part number to some useless nonsense combination of letters, which requires multiple prompts and validation and can only be done "by accident" by someone who is so egregiously stupid i can't even comprehend what substitutes for this moron as a thought process

    but generally yes i try to limit my insults to choices people make or terms that don't actually mean anything, like the aforementioned shitbird

    I think it's okay to call idiots idiots.

    It's just not a useful insult when lobbing them against someone who you dislike and is just being a jerk.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    This seems reasonable and thoughtful and something I shall try to be mindful of.

    I don't actually use insults very often. Moron is just a fun word to say.

    i dunno

    i've found in my life that things i find to be incredibly simple and easy to understand are not incredibly simple and easy to understand for most people

    if someone is trying to understand and just doesn't, my instinct while frustrated might be to think of them as an idiot, but that's neither helpful or necessarily the case

    i have a fault of expecting people to be able to understand things the way i understand them and it's better i think not to consider them idiots unless there is a proven track record of idiocy

    If I ever get really worked up I instinctively fall back on insults regarding intelligence, which I think is as good an indicator of any of where your real insecurities lie.

    When I went shopping on Sunday I watched a lady leave her cart in the parking lot and I spewed a lot of insults.

    GF was like "wow that really took you some places, huh?"

    But like the lady was clearly garbage so you know. Some people deserve insults.

  • Evil MultifariousEvil Multifarious Registered User regular
    Maybe it's wrong to insult people at all. Maybe we should all elevate ourselves beyond insult.

    on an ep of gbbo that I watched last night, a contestant originally from france was saying how there's no bread in the uk (or something like that)

    and paul was quickly clarifying like there's plenty of bread, maybe not a bakery on every doorstep like in france but

    but underneath his bluster, you could see the hurt in his eyes

    when people leave carts in the middle of the parking lot i will make it a point to go take the cart and put it in the corral

    it's one of those "how can i tell if this is a garbage person?" tests for me

    I'm comfortable calling people idiots who ignore several prompts that they deal with day in and day out and suddenly that day they make a rare exception to their routine because ????

    It just started happening here about 4 months ago. They started duplicating everything and we can't figure out why. They won't admit to it even though we caught them doing it while I was watching, and I asked them why they're deviating from policy and why they're doing something they've never done for years. They said "I don't know"

    I'm putting my chips on drugs or dementia.

    “Stupid” is one of the few intelligence based insults that isn’t entrenched in mocking of the mentally handicapped, mocking the otherwise disabled, and by connotation doesn’t insult intrinsically a person’s ability.

    In modern usage it means “unintelligent” but historical usage and still valid connotation tie it to being stunned or dazzled, and unable to think because of some external force.

    okay but what if the parking lot is clearly not set up to facilitate cart return

    like maybe there's one cart pen, but it's way in the back or something and it's like 100* out

    surely then, a person may be excused for parking the cart in an unapproved area so long as it's unlikely to roll away and bash into another person's car

    surely

    Yea when I walk into a store I will try to grab a cart left behind and drop it in one of the stalls on my way because why the fuck would any reasonable human just leave a cart instead of walking for 15 seconds?

    Not to their face, you understand. Under my breath in public, or loudly but not too loudly if encountered while in the car.

    Insulting people to their face is dangerous and rude territory.
