This thread had me go down a YouTube rabbit hole. I'm not trying to make any point in sharing these. I just find it fascinating how use of a term changes over decades.

Oh he absolutely trolls, but it's not maliciously, it's just screwing around
You're seriously on message boards where joking around would get you banned? Wow

Interesting that in the third link the thread devolves into the "r-word" discussion by page 2.

Every insult is the same in this way. You call them something that sort of suits how they're behaving in a targeted attack.
Would I call somebody with down syndrome the r-word? Of course not; that would be horribly insensitive and mean.
The r-word is more general and colloquially just used as a disparaging remark against somebody who is acting like an idiot.
Is it your opinion we should just never insult people? What about if a guy is making an argument in support of Nazis and against a race of people, for example. Can you call him names then?
So I've been on CP for 14 years. If I called you the r-word, do you think I should never be allowed back? Are you so sensitive that a little insult hurts you that much that you'd want severe repercussions for me? Or are you just insulted on behalf of people with mental challenges?
Do you joke around with your friends ever and call each other names? My group chat is nonstop insults, basically. It's so normal to me. And it's not like my group is just trash or something. Bankers, teachers, O&G execs, business owners, etc.

I just assume that everyone's is like this? The one we have is both hilarious and predictably juvenile. The funniest part to me is that we're all ruthless in that conversation and then when we see each other later that day, it's as though nothing happened and we're all just fine!

I guess we could talk about politics, the newest iPhone, kids' soccer and work stresses, but we don't want to be super lame so we keep it fun.

Frankly, those linked threads were pretty entertaining to read.
Pizza's probably just some plain cheese, no sauce mawf-cka. Pizza, get your weak-ass cheesy bread back to your Helen Lovejoy forums.

It seems you aren't accepting of those that are differently topping'd.
I urge you to take this opportunity to reflect and reconsider how you treat those that may not have sauce.

If you immediately know the candle light is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago.

Christian Selig the creator of the app Apollo has offered a prorated refund to those who paid for a subscription to Apollo. Could cost him up to $250K. I declined the refund. Hopefully others do the same.

I'd treat 'em like cheesy bread, not pizza.

BaconReader is all I ever used and it’s down now too. As someone who barely follows this drama is there a chance this decision(s) is reversed and we get these third party apps back?
