Satire must be done with tact and a directed purpose. Otherwise it just becomes another example of what not to do.

Most religious people don't understand that it'd also be bad if their religion was in charge.
Nah, they're even worse because they're the initiatiors of it. Who is more in the wrong in a fight? The guy who throws the first punch, or the guy who punches back?
Where do you think those ideals came from? The US wasn't as big back then...
I mean, using it as an uninformed general insult is absolutely bigotry, but 99% of the time when I hear it used as a pejorative against specific behavior, it's always used for behavior that is... well... kinda' autistic by definition. Like the behavior would be cited by a psych as evidence for being autistic.
Does that make it OK to use for every concerning behavior? Certainly not. Though in my experience it's used more as a direct clue that someone is behaving very abnormally and may want to introspect.
... Though that said, I don't hang out with teenagers or immature twats, so maybe they're slinging it around like 2000's teenagers slung around "gay" as an insult...
The r word is definitely not used exclusively to identify neurodivergent or disabled people.
That's what I'm hearing from these brainless defenders of bigotry... The only time it's appropriate to use IMO is when accurately describing the people who defend its usage as acceptable. They shouldn't even be upset; we're doing what they wanted!
Gradually?? I don't think the r word has been directly related to mental disability the entire time I've been alive, and I'm not exactly young... You're just choosing to take offense, which is white-knighting for the disabled when they're not even being insulted... Kinda' ... extremely lame of you...
Oh wait, being lame used to be a health disorder! Guess I'm offending you again...
I'd say he's more like a dirty sandwich bag of loosely rolled trash tobacco found in a parking garage that you cannot be certain are free of rat turds...
Calling him a "pack" of cigarettes implies there is any level of organized thought or professionalism put in to it...
I make an exception for using it against these snowflakes. If they're not supposed to be tarded in the literal sense, it makes more than perfect sense to call them it. They're doing it to themselves, and when one can choose not to wear the robes of a bigotted moron, it's more then fair to use harsh words against them.
... and if you say we should be kind to these ilk of humanity... I ask you; where does the line for self defense begin? When someone would gladly stab you in the back, it is distinctly not time to extend them the honor of actual humanity.
Nobody is arguing to change the definition of words. We're just saying you're an asshole for insisting on using them.
It is your persistence is completely missing the point that produces so much infighting. So... are you a fool who constantly misses the point? Or do you say this BS in an attempt to persist the infighting? Either way, rather shamefully low level of thought you're putting in to this...

Depends on the workload, really. 120 users using small services? probably. 120 users sharing large files or bandwidth heavy stuff? Doubt it. Also a lot of enterprise hardware is about reliability. Multiple PSUs, NICs, more robust hardware for constant load/network traffic, etc.
Sure, a gaming rig can handle it until it can't. Another question is what happens when the box crashes? Is the business down until a new PC is built and restored from backups?
A small business can probably afford two PCs, but scaling up and up eventually becomes a lot of trouble and space.
