Good morning fellow denizens of Mastodon. Hope everyone has a great day not complying with the regime.
@hannu_ikonen @RosePuckey @Geri @HarriettMB @fkamiah17 Weighing in from the US, but as a man in my 50s I grew up with "retard" being a relatively friendly insult among friends.

I have a ticket to nine inch nails in Berlin on July 1 and I don’t think I can attend, personal reasons. Fairly good seating, I paid 94€, but I’m willing to sell it for 60€ or best offer. Anyone interested? Please reboost
Edit: thanks a lot, it found a new owner
A base reminder about charlatans and their egos.
