Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

i got pretty good at problem solving on account of all the problems i have and didn’t receive support for. one of them is an overactive brain. too many thoughts to articulate and parse. plus underdeveloped communication skills. i’m sorry to ramble. it’s just because i’m at least mildly retarded.

the conversation needs to change, because the problem with this is not “outdated, offensive terminology.” it’s that shoe laces are dumb and no one who struggles with them should be required to have them. all my shoes are slip ons now. one less unnecessary thing to worry about.

i‘m not ashamed to be retarded. stop trying to make me. and stop focussing so much on diagnosing and categorizing people with special needs and fucking give them what they need. they’re not special wants. they certainly shouldn’t be special privileges. existence is hard enough without extra hurdles

Nick Martucci @blunderingidiom.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

i‘m not going to find a way to fit myself into a discriminatory box that some nazi defined just to still not receive the assistance i’ve always needed to exist as a person with an outlier brain in a world that kills its most vulnerable populations. stop just changing the words and help us!

growing up, i was called retarded and gay basically interchangeably for who i was. definitions be damned. why didn’t hillary duff come on tv and say “by the way, don’t say retarded like that either”? that feels like the only reason why gay isn’t “the g-slur” now. acceptance instead of erasure.

Nick Martucci @blunderingidiom.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

but i am and always have been at least mildly retarded, and i need to be able to say that without you lumping me in with people who, at best, see retarded people as a punchline, and at worst, want them eliminated. i don’t know who decided to unilaterally and retroactively make it a slur, but hey!

Nick Martucci @blunderingidiom.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

i’m not intellectually disabled. that requires a medical diagnosis and an iq test, and iq tests are discriminatory eugenic pseudo science. i’m also intellectual enough to know that. i’m not autistic. that diagnosis is built on even worse eugenic rhetoric by a guy who tortured and killed his patients

Nick Martucci @blunderingidiom.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

i didn’t go to special ed classes in elementary school just so people like joe rogan could have a hateful monopoly on the word retard. it’s not even about reclaiming a slur. it’s about accepting retarded people enough that, if somebody uses it as an insult, no one takes them seriously.

100

Nick Martucci @blunderingidiom.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

if the pejorative usage is making comeback, the caring and compassionate usages should should be normalized again. retarded people are people and they deserve humanity. it’s not a bad word. and it shouldn’t exclusively refer to something or someone you don’t like. that’s cruel to disabled people.

100

Nick Martucci @blunderingidiom.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

declaring “retard” a slur so unspeakable that it can only be referred to by it’s first letter says “i agree with the school bullies and the eugenicists that it‘s bad to be retarded.” why did you validate only the most insulting and disparaging definition? what an insult to retarded people.

feeling this hard -- i am so glad that there is an actual conversation that's taking place around cornell, and that survivors coming forward isn't being dismissed as 'woke 1' or whatever the fuck. and it's also hard to ignore that we've been here before, in the recent past, and nothing changed.

"differently abled" is a very funny phrase because it implies the person either has a disability or has superpowers, either way you gotta be nice to them

i’ve also worked with the people pushing ai for 20 years. and they’re dumb, confident, greedy, and condescending people. they’d go literal scorched earth trying to get out of paying a kid with $60 to his bank account barely enough to cover the gas. they hate us. and they’re idiots.

contracted for three days work. halfway through day one, they’re like “ok i get it now. you’re free to go.” and suddenly my 3 day contract goes down to a 1 day paycheck. and i had to argue for the full day’s rate.

fuck it. i’m coming for ai’s jobs. i can do most of that stuff cheaper. like, just give me some of that money and data. i got way more experience with being online than some chatbot. give me 2004 internet and the 2026 resources, and id be so much better at it than any adware algorithm.

why do you, a person with absolutely no financial stake in a movie’s success, care about box office totals? there’s like 2.5 movie studios taking hundreds of billions of dollars on these movies while the unions are begging for health insurance and fair pay what good is the box office

if they gave me more of their money, i’d treat it so much better than they would id be so much more responsible with it i’d just be giving so many dollars to people i’d make money seem like a good thing but they’re just sitting on it and farting on it like dumb greedy babies and i still gotta work
