hey I've got a question, would y'all say that the term "sanity check" is ableist, and if so what would be a good alternative?

"Rationality check" makes an equal amount of sense. So does the original term, but since the intent of a term is 100% meaningless in a day and age where the spaker's intent is entirely meaningless, and the only important thing is how people interpret it, better safe than sorry.
Sorry for my typo, I meant "the speaker's intent", not " the spaker's intent". Since intentions are meaningless and we now live in a world where Dune's "killing words" are 100% real, I feel the need to clarify.

We can no longer assume positive intentions and that an inept techie is simply using domain-specific terminology in an attempt at being as effective as possible in communications, it's much better to assume that everyone wants to subjugate another person absent any other indicia.

If there might be some wafting of sarcasm as to my replies, yes, there absolutely is. Because as someone who's had to deal with being on the autism spectrum, and all of the prejudices with it, for 20+ years, maybe let's not tilt at windmills.
