It’s the most upvoted comment because many people don’t know it’s a slur. The only way that will change is with calm teaching moments like these.

Not disagreeing about the use of the word, just erasing a teaching moment. Fair enough regarding the editing choice though
Would it not be better to leave it as is to teach others? Censoring serves no purpose here and it would prevent people from learning
Easier said than done. Mental capability and age, after a certain point, can’t be separated. Good luck holding high level elected officials accountable by fairly testing cognitive function on a regular basis.
Who’s going to decide “what really counts?” Who’s going to draw out fair guidelines that won’t be vulnerable to political agendas? Who’s going to test officials and who/what organization will be paying them? Who’s going to enforce it? A person or group with the ability to oust a sitting president based on private medical information? That’s a lot of power to also be exploited for personal gain.
If you can’t answer these questions then it wouldn’t work. In an idea world I’d agree with you, but a blanket age cap is the most fair, realistic solution for everyone.
I support an age ceiling and floor, but the real reason we’re dealing with this reality is people are currently willing to vote for visibly senile people instead of voting for younger candidates. We wouldn’t even need an age cap if people realized voting for 80 year olds isn’t a good idea.
Most things work right after buying them. Give it a year and reassess
Reddit is clearly trying to make its mobile site as user-unfriendly and goddamn terrible as possible to direct people to use the official app instead. There’s no other explanation for a top 10 in the world site
Actually, looking at the rest of the top 10 sites, the only two with good mobile interfaces are the ones without apps: Google and pornhub lol
this is bigoted propaganda against bonelessness
I highly recommend the Firefox extension “I still don’t care about cookies” as a great successor to the original

If you’d rather be angry than supportive then good luck
