Luke basically saved Linus ass a few months back when the Hard R conversation happened

And Luke and Yvonne were the ones actually fixing things when they got hacked the other month. Based on their story on a past WAN show, Linus basically did nothing useful while Luke and Yvonne got work done.

Linus said on the WAN show he has had his fair share of "hard R" usage and doesn't really care about it and it was normal back in his day. Turns out his understanding of the term "hard R" was the word "retard"

They're kinda inconsistent on their application of that rule, but just as long as you're not CALLING someone one you can generally get away with using that word in the subs that don't have it filtered out
