Can I still call a mod a dumbass?
Since we no longer have mods, yes.

This isn’t something new - it’s been part of the Hate Speech rule for quite a little while. The PSA was a reminder.

I'm off to 7/11 for a 32 ounce blueberry slurpee.
Somebody should warn Violet.

Correct?
WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT???

I have used them in the context of discussing their social impact precisely because that usage might better convey the impact their victims feels at least a little, and thereby inform the discussion.
If the rules here forbid that, okay. I don't like it but it ain't my forum, and I'm not wedded to my own approach, even if I think this rule waters shit down.
I also know now there's some George Carlin videos I can't put up, which is a bummer.

If you’d bother to read the pertinent rule, you wouldn’t need to ask.
