Internet has already kept me up longer than I wanted and got me into an argument on Facebook with a friend (who I am really surprised at) calling annoying people "spastics". Apparently it's fine because it's not the term used to describe people with cerebral palsy anymore. The rancid little over-entitled shitbag.

I really like croissants.

Can I just pause for a moment to admire your invective? I'm sure it's wasted on the shitbag, but I think it's a thing of beauty.

I also admire your invective.

I have two acid tests for people I am getting to know. If they are rude to people in service jobs, or if they get argumentative and post-modern when asked not to say things like 'spastic', I throw acid at them.

Well, I don't. But I do file them under 'person I'm not going to make any effort to know better, ever'.

Did I tell you that on my job description, it said preference would be given to 'women and handicapped people'? I'm still waiting for the courage to bring it up SO YOU SHOULD!

It's definitely politically incorrect, but as a person with CP, I can't say that it offends me.
