As a baby boomer we used the word to describe normal people doing/saying something stupid. It was never used to describe someone with down syndrome (trisomy 21).
It does happen though. Do you remember when Sarah Palin was said to have come home and said, "Where is my retarded little baby"? People went berserk, almost as bad as when she was filmed speaking in front of a guy stuffing a turkey into a turkey beheader at a turkey farm. Then, there was when Obama said something to the effect that a particular competition was like being in the Special Olympics. He called the national director for retard affairs to apologize in the middle of the night for that one and the worshiping left wing media gave him a pass. (Although he should have apologized to the retard population directly.)
Yes, but "retard" is a slang term and not a positive one. Mental Retardation was the earlier formal, medical term for what's now called "Intellectual Disability." That's how Kennedy used it.
The new word is Tardtarian. Thinks the entire world was an architectural and technological utopia with imposing structures of state. Free energy. Yeah right.
I can remember being taught that the three races of humans were Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid. And the latter stood in for "Down syndrome" as well.
ya but the younguns don't like it. they tell you dont say that!! wah wah. its mean wah wah. I am a grown woman, beautiful in her 60's and i just do my thing. I was considered retarded most of my life. I was in special class until 8th grade until I promoted myself. I called the shots from then on and they knew they better not question me. So I did what I wanted and continue to. Earlier this year a similar aged man was accompanying me on a project and got abusive and demanding on me. I told him where it was at. He said I was retarded. So, I have no problem with using it. It comes from a process called RETARDATION. RETARDATION means when something begins to atrophe in its development. It assumes normal development was present at some point. But you can cause retardation in your own life by avoiding certain necessary balances for adulthood to be correct. It's more physics than anything else. Don't be a retard. It's not personal, its good advice.
Thank you Charles 💕 Yes they have. I wish it was like the fairy tales.. and she lived happily ever after, lol. I’ve Late they have resorted to my offspring and boy they come down hard. Expressing myself is my weapon, and when I get distracted is when I leave loopholes. We just had a new moon and it’s in a part of the sky for me that deals with spiritual battles. So I’ve been reawakened to my purpose and how to address the assaults on all that I’ve had to overcome just to get here. There’s no going back that Jeannie is out of the bottle. I might be too smart for their retard tank but I want to be smart enough to really be expressing all that I meant to and not leaving anything out. I’ve got a little bit of catch up so keep an eye on the space check out my sub stack . Much love to all of you.
The medical administrations my parents paid for me and my love of Spagettios made me a retarded child. These things are not permanent like the man-in-the-box people want us to believe.
being a retard in the case of the similar aged man; he used the wrong word but retards have little access to vocabulary; he was saying the only word he know to describe anything. one word. most retards aren't THAT bad but he's just one example. we all know who we are.
For me too; I've always thought it a particularly ugly word; in that regard I've always disliked the word "penis" as well. It sounds so wimpy. "Cock" is much more masculine and suitably powerful. LOL
Somebody created a meme with him as Billy Butcher at the bottom that says "a long time ago we had empires run by emperors. Then we had kingdoms run by kings. And now we have countries..."
I still say gay and retard in jest. I say many things that are considered abhorrent by language fascists. They know we form thoughts based on words, so they know they can alter mindsets by altering the use of certain words. Their tricks will not work on me.
90s kid. Same. Funny is funny. As long as you're not socially retarded and use the word in a socially retarded context, funny is funny, and funny is not retarded.
When someone out there says that ai will take over , I always think “hmm . I know there’s gonna be some Russian hacker who’ll turn that shit right off “
I never understood how a computer that’s ran by man will take said man over
People who fear AI are still lost in the program we're all in; they have no idea what it really means to be "human" (or perhaps Infinite Consciousness is a better term).
The idea that a computer could become aware is totally ludicrous. Neural nets are cool and computers can learn things, but only what you set up for them to learn. They can analyze but only what you train them to analyze. 'Expert systems' are cool but the intelligence lies in the people who create them. I have been that person from time to time. Computers follow instructions like nobody's business but they are stone dumb.
Most of the time I am trying to visualize where you are driving and what you are seeing, I look forward to these podcasts, they usually make my day much more
Thanks Clif. I started using ChatGPT for blog posts for my website. Does a good job and saves me time doing a boring job that has to be done for SEO. Having said this, I have come across the sort of problems you touch on, which means I have to do a lot of prompt work to get what I want for other tasks. I can see the potential though. The technology will kill my business eventually, so I have eyes open for new opportunities - any ideas? I'm 61, willing to train and open to something completely new.
I apply that to salesmen. A good salesman knows his product. A lesser salesman doesn't know, but he knows he doesn't know. The salesman who doesn't know his product but thinks or pretends he does is to be avoided. Sometimes it's hard to tell.
The last time salesman I told that to was one of my VPs He said: "That guy keeps telling me things I don't want to hear!" I laughed, he didn't.
My argument about the term neural network is - its NOT neural at all. Its analysis & computational software. I think they call it "neural" as a part of the psychop to help facilitate the delusion that a computer is akin to a human brain. That its "alive" and "thinking". Its language manipulation to achieve an objective - a particular perspective. Especially since they are also trying to roll out computer controlled brain devices. And in that BCI field, the problem is - nothing they are doing is like neural synapses. Its all augmentation, visual and audio manipulation. What that will actually do to the brains since they won't be operating in their natural fashion - is yet unknown or being told.
I love still using that word. RETARD. Child of the 80s...
GAY RETARDS EVERYWHERE
Born in the 1950s (same as Clif) and retard was used ALL the time growing up. Nothing new.
Probably good Mongoloid went out of fashion.
As a baby boomer we used the word to describe normal people doing/saying something stupid. It was never used to describe someone with down syndrome (trisomy 21).
Yes, no one would ever call an actual retard a retard.
Just other retards perhaps.
"What up, my tard brother?"
No, no, that's no good either...
It does happen though. Do you remember when Sarah Palin was said to have come home and said, "Where is my retarded little baby"? People went berserk, almost as bad as when she was filmed speaking in front of a guy stuffing a turkey into a turkey beheader at a turkey farm.

That logic works for the n-word.
Yes, but "retard" is a slang term and not a positive one. Mental Retardation was the earlier formal, medical term for what's now called "Intellectual Disability." That's how Kennedy used it.
Yes, and we used to call someone a "Spaz" too, if they did something dumb.
Don't be so hasty, perhaps it's time to resurrect Mongoloid as much as I like, and have never stopped using Retard.
Fucking retard works even better.
😉😉
My preference is sub K9.
The new word is Tardtarian. Thinks the entire world was an architectural and technological utopia with imposing structures of state. Free energy. Yeah right.
I use the word to describe a friends baby recently. "That Baby has a mongoloid look to it."
Devo.....🎶 He was a Mongoloid he was a Mongoloid he was better than you and me 🎶....
NICE.
We are not men...
I am SO TIRED. How long can this go on?!
😛
I can remember being taught that the three races of humans were Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid. And the latter stood in for "Down syndrome" as well.
And you may have seen a social service agency called "ARC" which originally stood for Association of Retarded Citizens.
Should be Cretins, or do we save that one for.Congress?
That's what Libtards and Fucktards is for.

You just might be "too smart"
to fit inside their 'retard' tank...
"Great job!"
If you 'hopped through' their cage and can still express yourself, those Demon$ have 'lost' their battle with YOU!
Thank you Charles 💕 Yes they have. I wish it was like the fairy tales.. and she lived happily ever after, lol. I’ve Late they have resorted to my offspring and boy they come down hard.

I was a gifted and talented retard.
Sometimes (often) simplicity is wiser. Fucking intellectuals...
😉

I use it constantly and ppl get really mad lol
My go to is 'asshole'. 'Retard' is an ad hominem, asshole is my opinion.
Who are you exactly?
Assholes, dicks, pussies, cunts...
Giving body parts a bad name.
https://youtu.be/x359GgVRWaE?si=GqBP9SLgOBJt17cF
I know you don't YT, but...
I don't frequent it but this kind of thing is cool. Heh, 1931, that had to be a pun.
'Cunt' is reserved for extreme cases.
For me too; I've always thought it a particularly ugly word; in that regard I've always disliked the word "penis" as well. It sounds so wimpy. "Cock" is much more masculine and suitably powerful. LOL
Unless you're Karl Urban in The Boys. It's his go-to reference for most people. And he's not even British...
Somebody created a meme with him as Billy Butcher at the bottom that says "a long time ago we had empires run by emperors. Then we had kingdoms run by kings. And now we have countries..."
Oh, for a moment I thought you were Tia Loca.
Some of us don't like to use our real names, but I'm nobody's crazy aunt.
Christopher is my given name. Michael my middle, but now thanks to CH I have mixed feelings about it.
Just call me Tardhammer. Battling the idiots of Tardelheim.
Tardhammer of Tardel heim! Nordic, eh?
CH?
LOL
I like them both and use them interchangeably lmfao
Good point.
Also 80s baby
They're all such easy marks.
If they'd just watch some 80s cinema, they'd be prepared. Still the best, especially '84 and '85.
I still say gay and retard in jest. I say many things that are considered abhorrent by language fascists. They know we form thoughts based on words, so they know they can alter mindsets by altering the use of certain words. Their tricks will not work on me.
please keep a bit of room for a non-retard gay, if you can manage it...
Oh, I DO.
I'm like CH about WORDS, so no amount of misappropriation or hijacking will make me stupid.
I'm gay right now!
😉😉
And I'm not a hater of anyone, unless they are, but still NOT. I just don't engage.
We prefer to say Gaytarded at my house. Kills 2 birds with one stone.
I thought gaytard was what Richard Simmon's wore while exercising.
Gayfucktard
I believe they are referred to as gaytards! 😁
90s kid. Same. Funny is funny. As long as you're not socially retarded and use the word in a socially retarded context, funny is funny, and funny is not retarded.
Well, I am socially retarded, but still aware. And I don't give a FUCK!
Good thing this and YouTube comments are my only "social media". I could really give a flying fuck about the rest.
Maybe if this old caveman internet collapses and the new one with no middle men or stupid platforms arises. Need the SCARY A.I. for it to work though.
ditto!!
And of course the brilliant performance by Robert Downey Jr in Tropic Thunder and his amazing psychological breakdown about going FULL RETARD.
Duh.

When someone out there says that ai will take over , I always think “hmm . I know there’s gonna be some Russian hacker who’ll turn that shit right off “
I never understood how a computer that’s ran by man will take said man over
The Ruskies do have some damned fine hackers.
Yes they do lol
Instead of playing PlayStation the ruskies hack systems for fun
Somehow "garbage in - garbage out" blends with AI
People who fear AI are still lost in the program we're all in; they have no idea what it really means to be "human" (or perhaps Infinite Consciousness is a better term).
Yeah, defines it really.
Hello Humans 🥸 interesting time indeed! Thankful for the messages!
that's for sure, in particular when one pulls the power cord out of the socket, or shuts down the towers feeding the power to the 'special units'...
Lol I’m glad to see someone thinking like me
boy, we must be mind-controlled;)
Lol must be the water
how do you know??? all is flooded here, literally..
I don’t really knowwww lol
It’s just mind control working
ChatGPT is outraged by this sentiment !!
A day without Clif is like drinking a cup of coffee ☕️ and realizing your not human , your AI and can't think for yourself. AHHHHHHH!
The idea that a computer could become aware is totally ludicrous. Neural nets are cool and computers can learn things, but only what you set up for them to learn.

Car excitement near the end reminded me of Blues Brothers. Over 150 cop cars destroyed in that movie.
.... "It's dark and we're wearing sunglasses"....
Only 103 cars. I checked. World record at the time.
I was thinking of the Dukes of Hazzard...
They cheated in the movie by having the car missing for most of it.
Watched that again a couple weeks ago. Great movie.
I read somewhere that when the General Lee jumped the creek it had no engine in it. Flies better when it isn't front heavy.
I told the wife it was like porn for me. Car porn. Not Jessica Simpson...
And then the thing's absent most of the movie! F'ing Chandrakshar teaser.
Love Broken Lizard guys. Super Troopers a classic. Hey, in the sequel they have a go at Canada! Had that campus security bit in Dukes that was fun...
I had a car close to Eleanor in High School.
Waylon Jennings.....🎶 Just a good ol boy, never meaning no harm, beats all you never saw and in trouble with the law since the day they were born🎶...
Conditioned me at a young age.
No guns, just some good old fisticuffs. And dynamite loaded arrows.
Yeah, sunglasses are for cool not for sun deflection.
Most of the time I am trying to visualize where you are driving and what you are seeing, I look forward to these podcasts, they usually make my day much more
pleasant, thank you Cliff.
Abstract concepts and creativity are our strength, and birthright - we feed the beast of AI, or we can go straight to the source and feed our intelligence with that of the SUN: https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/how-to-treat-emf-radiation-part-1
AI is a real threat to commie government worker bees.
not as retarded as those who call shitty chatbots and trash code artificial intelligence, that's full retard right there
Or propaganda.

66, I love learning new things. That's good because much of what I thought I knew is crap.

Wanker, pikers, cretins, retard, dork, mongoloid, doorknob, blockhead, hydrocephalus head....... Etc. etc. etc. etc.
