I think it is a reference joke to when YouTuber Linus from linus tech tips expressed remorse for having formerly used the "hard R" during a podcast, mistaking it for the word "retarded". The video of it, including the panic and awkward clarification that ensued, went viral on tech circles as cringe inducing amusement and proof of Linus's social ineptitude.
You're probably right, but that's sort of a niche reference that I wouldn't expect everyone to grok.
For the uninitiated:
It just pisses me off that he just dances around it and takes so long to get that retarded is the word. Just say dude
I love the clip of that, watch Lukes eyes go as wide as dinner plates.
when Linus says he dropped his fair share Luke looks like he's being punched by a ghost
"Well... there goes LTT..."
All the LMG employees watching their careers flashing before their eyes right in that moment
I caught the LTT joke but yeah it's a niche reference to have in the post title.
The way he figures out what he meant and thinks about the smartest way to ask for clarification cracked me up. He goes through like 4 emotions in 10 seconds
I came here to say the same thing. I'm against ableism as much as the next guy but let's be real about what the 'hard R' is.
Dig up stupid!
Also, how did he fuck up wearing a hat?
...and if Republicans could read, they would be offended by this.
And those who can read would need to be able to grasp what they read. It's not as simple as one might think...
Never go full retard.
With all of his alt accounts, whose to say it wasn't Musk Tweeting Musk?
*who's
You've got to misspell stuff to keep the AI slop factories guessing
Uh yeah that's why I did that 👀
They might just be smart enough to operate a guillotine.
But we are qualified to work on the farms. Those are the jobs they said that were taken from US citizens not tech jobs.
Put him in IFT7
It's only the far left that's offended by this word... You all are aware of that, right?
No he didn't.
Nice Ven diagram. What it lacks is population per circle, as the left has clearly 0
