Lurker > Notti

I've worked somewhere where they pooled tips for the servers and bussers before, so in an occasion like that, I'd be on the fence.

but if her job, from her experience, has no history of it, then the money should go to her.

You're missing the point dude lol

no one knows who created the word latinx

and it's very likely no one knows who created the Spanish language

Yeah!

And those people supporting Latinx should bring it up with the people who created the terms Latino and Latina!

I was referring to the lady who said "intersectionality is not a choice"

I'm acknowledging the push-back, which is part of the whole process.

You later talk about the marketplace of ideas, well I'm pointing out how this isn't selling.

You can't have a marketplace of ideas if you give people a hard time when you talk about something's flaws.

Tradition alone is a better reason than anti-tradition alone.

If you are truly pro-marketplace of ideas, then we are on the same page, save for the fact that you seem to be less willing to acknowledge the anti-popularity of latinx.

"People get to make up their own minds." I agree, and almost entirely their answer to latinx is "nope".

How does everything having a purpose make it easier to focus on relationships?

I misread your post... But I still think it's not quite right. You can choose to ignore a useless object but if everything you own had a purpose for you then you're still just living for other stuff. I don't see how one leads to the other

After that line he says "[I'm team TERF.] I agree. I agree, man. Gender is a fact."

I'm not a fan of anti-vaxxers, but we don't need to insult them like this.

Earth is a big rock covered by a thin film of living organisms.

It's basically a sea sponge.

As a person sure

I prefer Hercules as a show though

Dat cheese was first rate

Yeah, I know, it's absolutely terrible.
People having the hots for Lara Croft when she was made of twenty and a half polygons and had breasts so pointy they could cut diamonds, and I just don't get it.
Woe is me.

Not sure I ever had one.

I'm digging this recent energetic streak, but I'm also kinda worried he's on coke :/

To be honest though, the way he answered that reads like he is in the closet. And I don't mean that in a negative way or anything, it just sounded like a dude with no experience and no desire to be matched with the opposite sex, but he's saying things he thinks heterosexual men would say.

That was awesome!

Its not trolling. Just look at the GOP

Who cares about ugliness if you got a big dick

What if we are just the universe experiencing itself?

Best: The Trent/This Topic

"gross" is being nice about it.

they're insufferably selfish

I also saw a post that somebody made to counter anti-vaxxers by coming up with some BS story about how after you get the vaccine you can put a raw potato that you sliced up against the injection site and it will extract the toxins from the vaccine.

At this point it's probably more effective to counter propaganda and conspiracy with more conspiracy since the current approach of just demanding people do it and then progressively taking away their access to things seems to be failing pretty spectacularly both in the US and in europe.

Beakman is better

Lucy Lawless will always be superior to Kevin Sorbo. Long live the princess of war

Aww you actually think you know what you're talking about, how cute.

So what you're trying to tell me is maaaaaaaybe WHITE PEOPLE invaded Spanish speaking spaces and FORCED THEMSELVES onto the poor LGBT community in the 1990s.

How cute.

one thing - just because a small minority of people might use it, it doesn't invalidate it.

it's still a relatively new term that grew from the desire of others to have a classification that was more inclusive, and you're going to have some pushback from older, prevailing attitudes.

it's not like we haven't seen similar struggles in English speaking areas, and that those struggles don't still exist.

The way I see it is similar to people taking down Confederate monuments.

Some people just see it as "That statue has been there foreva! How dare you!"

This is just an attempted internal conversion by Hispanics, and any changes to a language of course start smaller.

That's often how language changes start.

Plus, it's not about a vote (2% this, 35% that, etc), it's more about a principle, I guess. (non-racism, non-sexism, etc. But traditionalist right winger propagandists want to frame modern principles as "elitist", as I guess they think that sells.)

Anyway. Whether its Latinx, Latin@, or Latine, or whatever. This seems like it is picking up more steam to degender the language. (I remember 10 years ago when there were many choices competing)

It is just LatinX just seems to be the choice that's winning the race, and people are noticing.

No need to lie about "Its da white people invadin!" (in case people forgot. Spanish came from SPAIN. There were other languages there before)

Any "the world conforming to my point of view arguments is not a choice" is super sus.

People can keep trying to force an unpopular thing, but don't be shocked when it alienates some people who don't like it,

particularly when your message to such people is that they are out of touch or bad for feeling that way.
