    We have a car where the clock adjustment (on the radio LCD) is controlled through the LED panel that controls the nav computer. The LED panel is now INOP so for the past two DST changes I’ve disconnected it and reconnected it right at noon.

      While I agree on it being a slur and don’t use it, I also see the futility of the fight.

      Right now that is the word, but “idiot” and “moron” are both terms that have gone through the same events as medical terms adopted as insults, causing us to need a new term.

        Fuck that. Im an electrician and I made it clear you don’t use that language around me or I’ll rip you a new asshole.

        Dont give shit like this an inch. Blue collar workers don’t get a pass to be shitty.

          Just speaking the truth, sorry if it offends you, but seriously, you go into trades expecting anything but offensive humor you are immediately going to be disappointed, people will just tell you to grow thicker skin.

          I’m not going to pretend my industry is all sugar coated squeaky clean just to get points on Lemmy. It’s grimy and half the people have a rap sheet.
