Really? Bastard is getting censored now?

And shite censoring at that. You can still see the damn word.

No. All I see is "baard", and I'm confused. What is a "rat baard"?

I remember thinking the age of censorship was over with the death of television. Naive me didn't realize it was advertisers who were the driving force behind that censorship. Not sure why it's being censored here, other than censorship being so pervasive that people feel that's just what they're supposed to do.

Yep, I said that word on Reddit and got banned. They explicitly said I was banned because of the word 'bastard' when I use it to refer to a guy who cheated on his wife

Well, technically speaking, he's a cheater, not a bastard.

Well I can see why! It's hard to know the man's parentage just from that amount of information. Perhaps his parents were married at the time of birth.

Any potential child born from the affair would be a bastard, though, unless the man divorced his wife to remarry.

One of my cats (who is very sweet but a tad mentally handicapped) likes to try to get into people's food while they're eating it. Especially my toddler's, who is an easy target. Poultry and sliced turkey are her most popular choices. She had a bit of a rough life before we wound up with her, and has a mild food insecurity (when it suits her) and what seems like a streak of ferality despite her love for affection.

Anyway, whenever I catch her sneaking a piece of food off a plate, I go, "GET OUTTA HERE, YA FUCKIN' RAT!", and she runs off, sometimes with a piece of food, then stops to devour it and/or furiously lick her feet and play it off cool. It's annoying, but she's loved, and I guess at the end of the day the vibe just wouldn't be right it she wasn't a fuckin' rat every now and then.

It's the sodium that will get her one of these days. But ya live like a rat, ya fuckin' die like a rat.

In the original book he wasn't a mouse, but instead a 'small mouse-like boy' born to human parents.
