2000 in some dumb NCSU college apartment off Avent Ferry

Setup, we (gay twwer/his boyfriend, me, my girlfriend) were using medicinal herbs in our bedroom. We had a prudish other gay roommate. My girlfriend went to the bathroom she heard other gay roommate on the phone. He was talking to his parents about calling the police because plants are bad. She rushed quickly back to the bedroom and told us.

In our paranoid state we all left to cool gay roommates boyfriends house and slept there. The next morning when we arrived back at our place I noticed the Playstation was gone from the living room. In fact, all of narc gay roommates stuff was gone. "Huh, that's odd.", I think. We went and knocked on his bedroom door. It opened slowly and everything that was in the living room was centered on his bedroom floor.

I retire to the couch. My girlfriend was in her room and cool roommate went to class. The front door opens and narc gay streams by with his parents in tow. They grab a load of stuff and walk by. The third time I ask narc gay, "Hey are you going to talk or explain what's going on?"

"I don't owe you any thing Cael.", says the narc

"Actually you do, you signed the lease so your name is on it, this has to be resolved.", I reply

"You were smoking marijuana and that offends every moral fiber of my body.", says the narc

"Would you like me to tell your mom what you smoke? You were smoking cock and that offends every moral fiber of my body."

His mom had a shocked look and he stormed off. I went in the bedroom fuming over the fact we were going to have to find an extra $300/month for his share and the audicity of him trying to get out of it.

I calmed down and walked out to get some water as I passed his dad, his dad turned to me and said, "You better be glad I wasn't there when you said what you said."

"What did I say, I said a lot of things."

Dad replies "about him being a homosexual."

"Well I'll tell you right now he's a faggot." I meanly reply to the dad that probably knew and can't ignore anymore.

Dad jumps in my face and grabs my arm. My girlfriend luckily jumps in and tries to deescalate.



"You're going to pay that whole lease asshole while we find a roommate".

Narc ended up paying us 3 months rent and we found another TWWer, not gay mind you, on Classifieds.

Years later narc gay apologized for being a narc and I apologized for outing him to his parents.

Guy after peep hole ended up being a felon. Somewhat reformed and had an engineering degree. Somehow he lucked out and employer didn't background check. Never had a roommate again after that. He wasn't bad though.

i tend to be pretty careful about spelling but I typically disregard capitalization, punctuation or other more esoteric grammatical rules. in this case I reckon I decided to adhere to AP Stylebook to convey the seriousness with which i intended to approach the subject.

i definitely don't and didn't use f-slur and even pre-obama it wasn't my thing to use "gay" as a synonym for lame. interestingly, the only person I know who does use it is a gay family member.

I do kinda relate to what David Cross said in an interview last year though - "I wish I could use the word retarded. It's quick, it's succinct, and everybody knows what you mean, and it's clunky to say the other viable things. I know it's upsetting to some people, but I wish they would not be upset about it."

I still don't use it, but sometimes it's the first word that comes to mind and I can't think of a suitable word that carries the same heft. ah well

[Edited on October 17, 2026 at 9:50 PM. Reason : i should check the latent space for other options]

Acting on a comparable scale has not occurred often in the history of the human race. Yet in try­ing to describe these new mores, we happen across a striking analogy in the Islamic civilization of the Middle East. Not only was the game played in defense of one’s thoughts and feelings well—known there, but indeed it was transformed into a perma­nent institution and graced with the name of Ketman.

What is Ketman? ...

The people of the Mussulman East believe that “He who is in possession of truth must not expose his person, his relatives or his reputation to the blind­ness, the folly, the perversity of those whom it has pleased God to place and maintain in error.” One must, therefore, keep silent about one’s true convic­tions if possible.
"


Quote :
"
Informing was and is known in many civilizations, but the New Faith declares it a cardinal virtue of the good citizen (though the name itself is carefully avoided). It is the basis of each man’s fear of his fel­low-men.

Work in an office or factory is hard not only because of the amount of labor required, but even more because of the need to be on guard against omnipresent and vigilant eyes and ears. The people one talks with may seem relaxed and careless, sympathetic and indignant, but if they appear so, it is only to arouse corresponding attitudes and to extract confidences which they can report to their superiors.

Since reading comprehension is hard,
It was in relation to this:

Ketman and some other related term I can't remember explain experiences in totalitarian states and Islam where there is the internal dance you have to do in heavily thought policed society. It creates this environment where you don't remember if you are pretending or not. Art and such suffer since you have to always make sure you aren't going to offend the powers that be. That becomes the goal instead of doing your job, being authentic with the cabbie or being funny.

if the parent of someone who is on the spectrum asked you to not use that word, would you stop using it, or would you cite another esoteric quote in defense of using the word?

You could watch a bunch of Curb your Enthusiasm's for zany takes on the above. It's an interesting question on where the asshole divide is and where it goes from being nice to totalitarian. I was taught to kick anyone's ass that made fun of a mentally disabled person in a spiteful way. There is still a difference between that and saying, my boss is a fucking retard to a coworker when said boss made a decision leading to bankruptcy of the company. As we discussed prior.
