I made it about five minutes. Embarrassing to watch Biden stumble around and Trump just non-stop lie as usual.

I say it sometimes. Is "aight" a good enough bye, what about "later"? Sometimes if it's a quick work call hardly anyone says bye.

Yeah that's linen for you. People don't wear it much anymore sadly so they don't get that they just look wrinkled. I love linen shirts though.

That would be correct in my opinion but nothing this court does can surprise me anymore, legal or not.

Just a heads up The Satanic Temple are the righteous group that litigates all these radical zealots. They don't believe in a literal Satan unlike the Church of Satan.

I agree with the holiday thing but the worst paid workers don't get to take holidays off.

Not even that the arts have more gay people, but people involved in the arts are much more likely to be accepting and fair to gay people. So they want to hurt these people too. This is maybe overused but I think it's appropriate and I think about it a lot:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

This guy originally supported Hitler. He said this after the war.

Oooh la la

I like Latine. If the people of Spanish speaking countries accept it I think it's great.

I didn't mean that X is unpronounceable in Spanish, it's just absurd to be at the end of a word in Spanish.

Everyone uses singular they but for some reason they don't like it as a pronoun. "They went to the store," "What did you do for them?" Etc. I don't get it.

But really I understand that you're angry and you have good reason to be. You don't need to change my mind but if you chill back a bit maybe you can change others like the people who might be reading this exchange.

Like I get that you probably aren't personally accusing me of bullying people, but if I was less empathetic or maybe not as proficient in English I might think you were calling me a bully there.

Watch Benicio's energy in fear and loathing. It's been a long time maybe he can still do it.

The German classes haven't been en vogue for almost 80 years right? Fucking joking de acuerdo mon ami.

Hey friend, cool back a few notches maybe.

I'm cishet, but I consider myself an ally of the community.

That said, the Latinx shit is dumb. Do you speak any Spanish or can you use an accent? Latinx is unpronounceable in Spanish. That's why people of that racial grouping say that it's some bullshit. It is bullshit.

My friends and coworkers from Mexico, Central, and South America prefer Latino, Latina, or even, believe it or not, Spanish. Gender neutral!

One of my professional mentors is from Nicaragua. He lives in the US, calls himself by an anglicized first name, and when people ask where he's from he says he's Mexican. Granted he's older and he's just trying to get by. He doesn't give a fuck about any of this identity stuff. I'm not saying people should emulate him, just giving a silly example.
