Smoking is gross. Indoor smoking is even more gross. Indoor smoking that ruins original art pieces and haute couture gowns people spent months making for these idiots is reprehensible.

When the gender is unknown in Spanish, you generally just use the masculine suffix. Latino, by definition, is gender neutral. Latinx is just flagrant Newspeak and any arguments for it are specious at best.

This.

I’m genetically qualified to be “Latinx,” yet find the term cringe-worthy unless talking about somebody who isn’t constrained within the gender binary. Otherwise, just accept the word as reflecting on the nature of the person saying it. Trying to shove your words into other peoples’ throats is the mark of an assholx.

Unfortunately the OED is no longer a source I would count on. It also added “bouncebackability” and “meatspace”.

Latinx is not a word in Spanish. That’s the whole point. It’s a word that seeks to defy the conventions of the Spanish language, because it takes issue with the fact that Spanish is by definition a gendered language. The goddamn tables and chairs are gendered. And now we’re supposed to refer to everyone as Latinx to…

“Origin: Early 21st Century”, in other words, a recently made-up word being passed around by a bunch of academics to congratulate themselves on how woke they are, meanwhile it’s just stomping on the cadence of a language that they don’t appreciate and feel completely entitled to trample over. And it’s unnecessary.…

Latinx isn’t a word. Stop.

This article is a bizarre attack on Elizabeth Moss and the film. And who the fuck cares about her religion? If she wants to hang with those weirdos, go for it, it doesn’t affect me.

I’m not a Scientologist, and I’ve read/seen/heard many of the accounts of abuse within the religion, but every time I read/see/hear criticism of it, I can’t help but think “what’s the difference between those abuses and thousands (millions?) of similar or worse committed by other religions?” And what is the difference…

Scientology is super extremely not for me, but a quip (I forget whose) comes to mind on the difference between whackadoodle cults and mainstream religions: “In a cult, there’s one guy at the top who knows it’s all bullshit. In a religion, that guy is dead.”

Replace “Scientologist” with “Muslim”, reread the piece and determine if it still sounds reasonable, especially if your argument relies, out of hand, on dismissing a #NotAllMuslims argument. Either judge the person as an individual, or don’t, but don’t cherry pick. I don’t find Scientology to be compelling and their…

You know you can always limit access to the internet until someone changes the password. That way if they want to use that feature, they have to perform the act.

A better and related solution to this problem of IoT devices would be a DefaultPassChangerBot that changed the password of the compromised device to some random key, emailed (or otherwise notified) the owner of the device of the new password and tell them to change it to something they like better of they don’t like…

The only problem is this mistaken and culturally-poisonous viewpoint that someone needs to look the same as you do in order or identify with them.

Your writing ability is excellent, but your knowledge of business and law are lacking.

People don’t give this stuff a lot of thought. We need constituents in swing states and Republican states getting involved to protect ACA. People instinctively think “they’ll hate the Socialist,” but they ignore the fact that those tend to be the states where Sanders won in the primary.

You could always see it and actually judge it from viewing it. As of now you don’t know if what you are saying is actually fact. You are only assuming it is. From what I’ve heard his performance is gut wrenching. Like you will be in a wreck because he will tear your heart out.
