To be fair removed means slowed or delayed so how many times was anon removed in getting to work?
That’s it, calling in removed to work tomorrow.
I’m removed at work every day!
I’m removed as I type this
Really changes the theme to Black Eyed Peas - Let’s Get removed
they were just asking everyone to chill out and relax
I’m gonna tell people who need to chill to get removed .
It would be funny if the song got slower and slower
You’re asking too much from them
Wow. I really thought that was going to be a misheard lyric video or parody. Had no idea.
removed means tardy again. If you’re late once, you’re tardy. Do it again and you’re removed.
I never actually understood why removed was used by mechanics when a car wasn’t running right “The timing on this is a bit removed” but now I know. Thank you
There’s also a thing called a removeder built into lorries and other heavy vehicles so they don’t melt their brake pads, think engine breaking as the basic version, add special engineering sauce and you get something that is good at slowing stuff down without burning up, but not good at all at arresting it in place. The term is also used with railroads but those are actual breaks. Similar to the ones you see on roller-coasters.
surprisingly the opposite is advanced timing, protarded isn’t a word.
There is retrograde <> prograde but only Kerbal players know what it means ;)Not really surprising. That last part “tard” comes from the Latin tardus which basically means slow or late. The “re” particle originally just had a meaning of repetition, in this case. So being late (not for the first time? ) So changing the first part of the word wouldn’t change the meaning of it so easily. Maybe technically something like “intard” could make sense in that way (similarly as what you find in words like indomitable, impossible, ineffective etc), but it doesn’t really exist. Or if we want to make it more meme-like, tarden’t?
Protarded actually exists as a slang with completely different meaning, but that’s out of scope
Overall useless information for most, but anyway
Protarded actually exists as a slang
Interesting. Always new stuff to be learned.
I was just on a trip to France with my brother who doesn’t speak French. He was quite amused by all the signs that said removed, like when a train was running late. I speak French so it was utterly normal for me
Turns out anon was pretty tardy after all…
Uhh I think you mean tardish
the dr. who thing?
Anon is slower on the inside.
Fucking LOL while scrolling next to sleeping wife. You bastard.
If they’d ever cast Sean Connery as the Doctor.
Op IS tardy.
My regards.
What about them?
Give them to the chef.
I don’t think you’re allowed to cook them.The chef says to keep your damn regards out of the kitchen, he’s trying to cook.
My removed.
What is tardy supposed to mean?
Late.
For normal people, to be late to something.
For this guy, the R slur against those with learning disorders.
you know this is the internet and you are allowed to type whatever you want, right? let me show you: “removed”
“whatever you want”… they wanted to be a respectful person.
Is saying the word removed without calling some it disrespectful? Is it now a trigger word? I’m genuinely wondering. Because when we were growing up we used the word EVERYWHERE. It was as common as saying “fricken”
It’s a slur, that’s why. Some slurs are major slurs that are considered offensive even when it’s not referring to someone, and I think this is one of them. They’re often forbidden because of it, and a lot of people find it easier to follow universal rules than to check the rules of each place they post, because the universal rules will keep you in the clear 95% of the time. And even if not, it’s still respectable to not want to use slurs.
And yeah, it did used to be a lot more common. And before that, it was a medical term. That’s the way it goes, we have a word to insult people’s intelligence, doctors deal with patients who have a disorder causing that, they don’t want to use the mean word to refer to the patients, they come up with a new word for it, the word gets out, and then everyone makes it a new word to insult intelligence. Though this one seems to be taking a different track because it hit modern sensibilities, and at the same time I think doctors now know better than to come up with a new word for mental deficiencies.
And yeah, it did used to be a lot more common. And before that, it was a medical term.
It’s the euphemism treadmill in action.
That’s what it’s called, okay. I didn’t remember the term.
We used LOTS of words then that are now not ok to use. Growing as individuals and groups is a good thing, being attentive to others is a good thing, understanding that you see no offence to a word where others do and changing that behaviour betters everyone.
Nah, speech police is just a disguised form of fascism.
Dude, I don’t think you understand what fascism is about. Telling someone something is wrong isn’t fascism or saying murder is wrong would be fascism.
People used to use the n-word all the time, so it must be perfectly OK to say!
This is the exact same argument. It doesn’t work, right? Why would it here? Sure, there may (I doubt it, but I’ll leave the possibility open) be other reasons why it’s OK to say, but throw that argument out.

Were the insults necessary or did they add anything useful to your comment?
As for the actual question in your comment, though your quick follow-up to insults suggests you meant it as a rhetorical question and just wanted to assume they were doing the same thing as they were criticizing, “fricken” (or “friggen”) was used in many cases by kids who were scared of getting in trouble for using “real” swear words. Which was the whole point of that comment: kids who were afraid to really swear casually used “removed” and many adults who would lose their shit over “fucking” didn’t bat an eye at “removed”. And even when they did, it was because of the insult to the one called “removed”. If anyone brought up mentally disabled people, it was more about furthering the insult rather than actually caring how they felt.
The other said what needed to be said. Do you talk to anyone the way you do? You do realize you’re talking to real people with real life experiences. And if you used any critical thought you’d understand the innocence of using the word “fricken” or “friggen” in my comment was to illustrate that in our child community growing up, we used the removed word along with that. And it was almost never used to call someone that, it was used to call a situation that. Like “that’s removed let’s not do that”.
And yeah I don’t use that word anymore as an adult.
“IDGI, this person has the option to be the worst version of themselves. Why dont they choose to do that?!? Also why does noone want to be around me? Could it be that marinating my brains in a writhing compost of clapbacks and dunks is desensitizing me to my own dehumanizing? No. Clearly this is because woke.”
The word that airline computers hurl at their pilots just before landing
Quite rude if you ask me
I found a training thing that included the phrase “removed power” in an aviation context. The best part was the way it was enunciated. Not “ri-tard” like you do when it’s a verb, but long E ree-tard. I absolutely clipped it.
You might be surprised that your sprinkler system has a removed chamber. Also you can still order it under that name.
Can’t say either on twitch or you’ll get banned
chat is this real
That’s hilarious. Is it still in use or say it differently now?
I’m thinking about master>slave in tech. Or rapeseed became Canola. Or how we say Uranus differently.
afaik it is.
Late.
It comes from Latin tardus = slow
or in french, plus tard
Je suis en removed
I still cackle like a twelve year old every time that comes up in Duolingo.
Slow, with cheese
You’re thinking of TARDIS, the time machine.
I’m glad the re-boot didnt call it the re-TARDIS.
I agree anon is not a super genius.
Mass censorship is very cool and definitely not a stepping stone to an authoritarian hellscape.
Perhaps it’s a sexual thing. You know like if you are hit a lot as a child.
Perhaps Tankies learn to enjoy censorship and repression. That’s the only justification I can think of for censoring themselves, it’s pretty hilarious when you think about it.
ml hands out bans people who slightly disagree with their Communist loving opinions, how is that not censorship like on “other” platforms?
Lol it’s too much credit to call them communist loving. Marx would be turning in his grave if he saw the regimes these tankies venerate
Of course Marx isn’t really a good hold up either. Any actually communist society probably wouldn’t follow a lot of his doctrines. His beliefs, if actually implemented, would have all ended in civil unrest anyway. His views were inherently unfair and very much open to abuse and corruption. If you were unlucky enough to be on the bottom rung of society then that’s where you stayed.
A modern view of communism would be much closer to socialism than anything Marx advocated for. At least socialism allows for social advancement.
On a continuum where you’ve got tankies on one side and socialism on the other, Marx would be closer to the Tankies end of the spectrum than the socialist. He’s definitely not in the middle.

My guy you don’t know shit. Marx believed in a classless society. There would be no “rungs”. Also what he believed in is socialism, because communism is a form of socialism. This is what happens when you believe what the right wing tells you about Karl Marx without actually asking any leftists or reading it for yourself.
A lot of the things Tankies believe like the concept of a Vanguard party happened after Marx. Marx would have never approved of the USSR, or at least how it ended and all the things that happened under Stalin.
Marx believed in a classless society.
Yeah but he didn’t. Because money still exists and been poor meant you got less money. So no matter what he said you would still have less. You’d need UBI to really go classless
Fair enough. I know a lot of his views were rooted in traditions and biases he grew up around. My point was more just that tankies and places like modern Russia and China aren’t really communist.
My girlfriend is Chinese and she has shared so many examples of classism and wealth inequality there, many of which are enforced by the state and its laws. China is in many ways no more egalitarian than the US.
Karl Marx wouldn’t approve of China though. Nothing about a classful society would be supported by Marx.
Given the degree of government interference in the market there, I would say China is less egalitarian than the USA.

The idea that moderating slurs on an online forum is a stepping stone to an authoritarian hellscape really requires a special kind of brain worms
I got an instance ban from ML for two weeks because they treat “tankie” like some sort of slur.
The biggest bunch of snowflakes there ever was. They don’t like it when you actively describe them.
Tankies hate accurate description generally. It threatens their way of life when people communicate.
Wtf is a tankie?
A dead body.
Well not really. But a tankie ain’t like anybody that you ever met before.
He’d eat Monopoly, and shit out Connect-4
Depends on what is being censored. Hate speech? Censor the shit out of it. Sexual stuff? Not needed.
Nope. Completely missed the point.
What is unspoken there is that censorship is always based on good intentions such as yours. People trying to censor sex are trying to do the same thing you’re trying to do with censoring hate speech.
“Only censoring the bad stuff” is not the solution here. It’s the source of the problem.
Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.
Automated censorship is never a good thing.
What’s hilarious about that place is you can type removed and they can’t tell the difference between that and a slur being blanked out by the system.
Now that’s removed
I’m removed to work almost every day
That’s okay because we’re having a fire removedant door installed. Once it’s in, you’re outta there bud
anon is too smart for the quicktime event
OP lied in his interview. Always bad form to lie in an interview.
OP was clearly Tardy.
Removed by mod
Everyone else in school was collecting good grades, while I was collecting tardigrades.
I don’t feel tardy.
