Words like moron and idiot can be used as generalized insult. They can be offensive, but it doesn't refer to a certain person or people. Moron and idiot are both defined as being stupid and stupid is defined of lack of intelligence or common sense. The word "retard" refers to people that have mental retardations. The individual person can control being stupid, but they can't control being mentally retarded.

What about a goatee?
Not necessarily whatever you want because you have to follow DOT standards, but utility locating is a good one. The standard is steel toe, reflective vest, and in some cases, a hard hat. Other than that, you're good unless the company mandates something different. You can also get good money, experience, and networking in that field. Since you're such a young person, and if you have a good personal drive, you'd greatly excel at it because it is a relatively physical job
Exactly what I was thinking. They're probably like "We'll set a hotel up for you in Syria or Lebanon. Trust us"
Then the best I can suggest is don't let what anyone says get to you. You can only control what you do, and if someone tries to manipulate you, and you catch it too late, well that's just a valuable lesson for the future
No brigading, or trolling to make someone angry. Trying to bully people into submission isn't ok. A light poking is ok as long as it'sin good faith, but really just talk to people like you're face-to-face.
Improve your empathy. It sounds hard, but when you focus on body language it gets a lot easier. People will give away what their goal is before they even spit a word. You can say "Hey" to them and that is most of the time all you need.
My goal is to have a chuckle or general discussion despite what side people are on. I believe light teasing of the other side (and even your own side) opens serious dialog because you are acknowledging your side is imperfect, just like the other side. If you tease the other side and take yourself too serious, then that's bullying.
Second, and with all due respect, everything you say can be easily summarized. And please don't misunderstand, I believe you're absolutely right in everything you have said, and I appreciate your detail to make sure you're not misunderstood. However, every comment has been an essay. That takes so much mental energy for you. I can respect the effort you put into your comments because, godamn, it takes a lot with how much work you put into them, truly kudos.
However, I see it as building a front page for a resume. If you put too much meat onto the plate, then they're never going to eat the potatoes. You want a filet mignon with a baked potato. I absolutely mean no offense. Just wanted to say that you could say the same thing with less words
I would argue that it's not ok due to the context of the word and self-deprication creates negative feedback loops
