Not exactly. It’s about limiting accessibility. Don’t have to worry about soft laws like “it’s illegal to lie about this or kill a bunch of kids” if you restrict the ability for those things to happen in the first place.

You understand that the root cause is the government being unable or unwilling to address the problem, right? The “market-based solution” is a symptom of the disease, not the treatment.

As a native Spanish speaker, I’m not offended by it at all. We come in all kinds of opinions.

It would be so much easier to just have single-payer healthcare but “ugh taxes” and “poors getting healthcare” so we can’t have nice things

Best to just assume anyone who is using their hands to do anything other than George Jetson some numbers around a computer screen is not making enough money. 

So I assume you have a fire plaque on your house right?

Yo lo pronunciaría exactamente igual como la señora de la que se están burlando, aparentemente la gringuita que escribió el artículo sabe más español que nosotros.

I was a paramedic for about 5 years in college. I only made a little bit more than $3.37/hour. Be warned: those folks saving your life are almost certainly having trouble paying their bills unless you live in a major city (and maybe even then).

white people added it to show cultural elitism over the Spanish language’s use of gendered words.

It’s not a band-aid, that’s the whole thing:

It’s basically just like with abortion: Nobody likes abortions, they are not fun to go through, but they are a necessary evil. So we better provide them in the best possible way, as an abortion is never a nice thing to go through, but making them illegal won’t make them go…

On Facebook when people are correcting.

News flash, EVERYBODY thought it was pronounced la-tinks. (a) Because that’s how it’s spelled. Jinx, minx, latinx. And (b) because nobody has ever heard anybody actually say it out loud, because it’s not used outside of the web.

Read:

We already have the gender-inclusive Latino, gender-specific Latina, and the pseudo-gender-less Latin (when used in context)... Tell me why we needed the LatinX. 

So an honest question: Is the “x” at the end a common Spanish language tool? Why was it specifically added? Is it gendered? I should know these things so maybe I should just look it up.

Yo soy latino, y yo no se como se pronuncia “LatinX”. Es un equipo Latino-American de los X-Men?

Yeah, the condescension behind “I’m more woke than you” makes me at least understand where antagonism and backlash come from, even as I revile and don’t give much credence to it.

Yeah, let’s shit on people for not knowing how to pronounce a completely illogically spelled word that just started gaining traction six months ago.

GOP: We don’t infringe on states rights...that is of course until you don’t agree with us.

Knowing the details and handling of weapons is only important during debates with ‘libtards.’ Otherwise, you can be as irresponsible and ignorant as you want.
