As someone who remembers the 90s...why would you ever put a meme on a car? A meme almost never lasts a year and a well made car...oh...

Here's the thing, the word doesn't matter... It's the intent. For example if I said "well aren't you a fucking genius" and meant it sarcastically that's just as insulting. I could also say "you gobflecker" in a aggressive tone that also bad.

An example is the old show red dwarf. The replaced every curse word with smeg. Smeg doesn't mean anything. But in the show when one character calls another a "smeghead". You know it's not nice and meant to be an insult even though they never said or explained that in the show.

Banning a word won't do anything. Ban the attitude and change people's opinions and you can change the world. For example women, not saying they are treated well by everyone but compared to 200 years ago? Or even further back? For example there was a "treatment" for women who dared consider working. They were basically forced to bed and forced to stay there only hand few broth for 6 months. They literally just had to lay there, no talking no reading no such thing as a video. Today they are treated much better, it wasn't by banning the world girl or bitch or vagina or anything it was by changing people's perception.

Reminds me of an old joke...

Man goes to his boss and says "can we talk. I have a problem!"

His boss gets mad and replies "I don't want to hear about your problems. We are an opportunity based company. We don't have problems we have opportunities to improve. Do you understand?"

The man thinks and then replies "yeah, I get it."

"great now tell me what you wanted to talk about, and you better not use the word problem!"

"well.. Based on what you said, I have a huge drinking opportunity"

Interesting fact... They make all milk fat free, and then add fat back in to make it 1% 2‰ or whole.

Iys simpler to add in a specific amount of fat than to remove that amount and keep the ratio correct.

If your dog is ever running and you can't catch them act hurt. Pretend to fall and hurt your knee. Most likely it will come back and check on you and you grab it, unless it's playing with something else then good luck
