    Since we don’t have a bot yet, please refrain from ableist language. Try words like “wild” instead.

      I’ve never been called out on using that word before (and as someone with mental health issues, it doesn’t bother me and I’ve never heard it challenged in my group therapy group either, which is my usual barometer for these things in that context) but fair enough man. Different people react to different things and I’m not the spokesperson for everyone with bipolar. I’ll try and phase it out of my vocabulary.

      liberals: "yikes! please don't use those nazi words, use these anti-indigenous genocidal slave oligarchy words instead"

      Is it surprising though? This is a "dirtbag left" website associated with a podcast where hosts litteraly made a rant about how lame it is to try to use "non-offensive" insults.

        I've never heard Adam or Nima say anything like that.

          Once they made fun of presliced fruits and vegetables and then apologised profusely on the next episode for being abelist.
