Ah yes, the progressive publication The Intercept where *checks notes* Steve Bannon had sources he could check in on to corroborate information.

Glenn has been nothing but correct on Brazil.

You don't get credit for fighting against fascism when you're actively working to enable it everywhere else but the place you currently live.

Ok boomer

Boomers like to watch Greenwald on Tucker Carlson.

Greenwald has done some dumb shit but he's also done more good on a daily basis than you'll do in your lifetime seeing that you spend hours a day posting different versions of "better things aren't possible" on a video game forum. Go outside or volunteer for some place you believe in like The Center for an Unchanging America or something, dude.

Actively trying to help Trump get elected and re-elected and help him get re-elected from his platform is more bad than I could possibly make up for a in a lifetime.

That Ugandan lady story at the end is awesome (well sad really). To be sentenced for expressing yourself in a way that isn't even a threat  . Utter crap and I'm glad she did what she did.

corporations fabricating their names from a Mexico stem isn't really the point I was making that the -x suffix isn't really used in spanish language organically hijx de putx

0-15k would actually justify a lot of hyperbole and make their logic at least consistent. However, much like how the forum skews far older than their beliefs imply, they are largely middle class and well above the poverty line if I remember the last time the forum was surveyed.

Restera is, mostly, 30+ year old members of the middle class.

OP knows his butter comment was weird and is just trolling...

... I still don't get the American Cheese on a burger thing.   Like it's just milk and some protein solids so I'm not horrified at the ingredients.. but the texture is so gross before melting, and within a minute or 2 of melting that it's just... nah.   Melt some provolone if you want a mild cheese on a burger.

Try a Juicy Lucy, which is two patties with the cheese in between, so the middle is a molten river of goodness.

Shit was surreal as fuck. I choked on a piece of a potato for what felt like an eternity. I was slowly losing consciousness but was finally able to get it out, thanks to a coworker who attempted a Heimlich. My throat and esophagus are really sore right now.

Anyone else nearly choke to death too? I wouldn't recommend it.

Potato trying to kill era members now huh? Dude chill.

So yesterday and today my throat and esophagus have been pretty damn sore, like it hurts like hell to swallow. I'm guessing this is normal?

these damn straights at it again.

It was just a warning shot across the bow.

I feel terrible for anyone who might read this thread who identifies as Latinx...

Non-binary words are important to a lot of people and are thankfully.becoming more common in languages where they don't exist, English has Mx/Mxs and Xe/Xr, why can't other languages do the same? Things change, I'm sure everyone here has learned a new word in their life, what makes this any different?

Because pronouns are a closed class of words where adding new words is nearly impossible.

I see, my mistake was to search 'Mx/Mxs'. I was mostly curious about that because it implies that there'd still be differentiation which would go against the whole idea

Maybe Mxs is multiple Mx.

People actually do use equisbox and equis-men

Replacing the pronouns with an x works with latinx, but the moment you have hermanxs, bomberxs, compañerxs, etc. it becomes hard to pronounce. With latine, that's not a problem.

I'd stepped out for a bit when it became evident that a lot of you are pretending that it's straw-man white liberal enforcing the usage of the term around the American continent, but the ugly truth finally came out when some of you just flat out spout some hyper-nationalistic resentful gatekeeping shit about how queer US Latin-Americans aren't really Latin American

 

For a forum so woke, they truly have problems grasping about colonialism and imperialistic influences.

ITT: The requests of Non-Binary people get mocked on with glee.

TIL, the word latinx is a Western imperialist plot

*laughs and then cries*

here's a fun task for the class today!
How many spanish words that are not loan words from another language end in the -x suffix.

CEMEX S.A.B. de C.V., known as Cemex, is a Mexican multinational building materials company headquartered in San Pedro, near Monterrey, Mexico. It manufactures and distributes cement, ready-mix concrete and aggregates in more than 50 countries. It is the second largest building materials company worldwide, only after LafargeHolcim.

For one thing, "correct" language is inherently subjective, and neither is any language structurally fixed. Why does grammar purity come before human respect

Because Language is human culture, and you guys are being disrespectful by whining about others not using a term invented by a minority of Latinos in the US and pushing for people to use it.

how the fuck are people pronouncing latinx, to say is DIFFICULT or almost impossible to do?

o.O

seriously?

I don't know. You tell me! How the fuck do I pronounce this in spanish??

[Boredfrom]

I don't think gender neutrality as an idea requires some extreme level of education , I have more faith in people than that.

Obviously not going to evolve over night

Do you have any idea how much Spanish uses gendered words?

[BisMarckie]

Is grammatical gender as a concept that hard to grasp? 

[shosta]

Latin had a neuter gender! It's spanish's fault for eradicating the gender neutral ending and conjugations!

[Boredfrom]

I mean I'm really not sure what argument we're having, are we going down a route now where wanting more gender neutrality in all language is classist or something?

 

IT IS IN THIS CASE!

The whole point is that you are asking people to accommodate their vocabulary to a societal notion demanded by an imperialistic Anglo country.

[shosta]

I agree, just like white people don't get to dictate what they call me.

1. I'm not white so there goes that excuse

2. No one is saying they will call you Latnix holy shit.
