What a dumb dumb

I mean supposedly most Latino folks think the term is fucking stupid and didnā€™t ask for it to be created, so this particular one is whatever. But I feel like this will be followed up with stuff like forbidding anyone from requesting certain pronouns, etc.

Personally I find it annoying that people are trying to find a label for me I will be ok with. I got all labels I need already, thanks. Otoh, this lady can fuck right off.

The core principle at the heart of conservative beliefs is that double standards arenā€™t just OK, theyā€™re actually good. This is present over and over and over again in every position they take, in every social and political structure that they support. Itā€™s just who they are. You can never, ever, ever win an argument with a conservative by pointing out that their beliefs imply a double standard. They think thatā€™s a good thing, not a bad thing.

Itā€™s not meant to cater to Latinos, itā€™s meant to cater to non-binary folks, so itā€™s part of the right-wing anti-trans agenda.

Latinx is awkward and conjures up memories of 1990s branding. Latine seems so much better.

Conservatives believe double standards are fair because the others deserve it.

You see itā€™s funny because the cops are the right wing, but itā€™s the left trying to cancel gas.

Yeah the original use of it makes more sense (and definitely prefer your pronounceable version). All of the criticism Iā€™ve heard seems to come from after the term started getting used simply as ā€œgeneric term for person of Latin originā€, to which the response mostly seemed to be ā€œknock it off, the Spanish language itself is gendered and nobody takes offense or feels excluded because of the vowel at the end of the word.ā€

Iā€™ve written in the past about the importance of constituent services.

Guy who literally wants to tear down our govt and replace it with fascism refuses to play by the rules.

Itā€™s not even a matter of rules, it a matter of basic responsibility and consideration of others. Just very base-level aspects of being a decent human.

yeah but there in IS his commitment to his constituents. he was never elected to be a decent human being. he was elected to to be an asshole to the libs.

I lost power recently for about 20 hours - I realized after that I could have been cooking on my natural gas range. Instead I was heating Dinty Moore on my woodstove, LIKE A SAVAGE.

During our 4 day outage a couple of years ago I figured it out after a day or so. Only problem was lighting the burner but fortunately I found a zippo lying in a drawer.

It does kind of stink when the gas flows but before it lights. It doesnā€™t feel great inhaling that stuff. My stove is old and the knobs fall off and donā€™t really work except on one burner and the oven. Thatā€™s all I realy need though. Someday maybe Iā€™ll try to figure out why the others slip off.

I forgot to open the flue once on my gas fireplace. My head felt it pretty quickly. Not pleasant.

Signed gas stoves as prominent political rallying objects, and this is what tens of millions want.
