It's not really necessary to criticize when they just wanted to share a picture of themselves they enjoyed.

The photo was successful if it made the OP happy after their hard work on the costume.

I'm 99% sure that exchange is a real concern. Opportunistic little bastards.

At first I thought your entire comment was just

And I thought yeah... that sums it up.

There's no gun registration in Florida, and it's illegal to have a registration list.

Most states don't have any registration requirements.

Oh yeah Worth A Buy has popped up for me a few times for indie games, and he seemed like he was straight to the point.

I got a Total Biscuit vibe too. I miss that guy.

The takeaway I got from the movie is it's not really about the theory, it could be literally anything that brings people together. It's just about being part of a community and being respected somewhere. Of course you can't logic someone out of that.

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

...But also his friendships, and entire sense of worth.

I said "nothing in my opinion" to the question of what's wrong with subsidies. I'm not sure why you're suggesting I was attacking them.

I didn't generalize farmers, I generalized farming areas because there are political voting maps that demonstrate that.

Your response feels more like an agenda you've set out to explain, rather than a response to my comment.

Nothing in my opinion.

But it sure is frustrating when farming areas claim to hate welfare because it's socialism while refusing to acknowledge the type of government welfare they rely on to live.

Your knee-jerk reaction is that any criticism of the word is a criticism of non-binary people. I explicitly made a point to explain that's not the case. And I used "they" in my first comment, so I have no idea where you're coming from.

Treating any discussion as black and white and immediately becoming defensive isn't helping as much as you think.

There are plenty of titles they could use. The issue is this school rejected those other titles too, and that's not right.

They're abbreviations for master and mistress. Of course those are archaic etymologies, but that's how they evolved into abbreviations.

The strange thing is that Mx is an abbreviation that doesn't have a basis in a word as far as I know. It's literally conforming to those heteronormative traditions and adapting them with an "X" bandaid.

Mr. is derived from master and Ms. is derived from mistress. Their pronunciation is derived from their etymology.

I agree though that common usage plays a part.

I'm not saying it is, but it should be enough to start a discussion on whether there's a better, more easily pronouncable term while we're in a discussion about titles.

Mx. is a confusing title. How is it pronounced? "X" is an obnoxious letter choice to try to genericize gender.

But the article shows this teacher tried several other reasonable titles, like "professor" and "teacher" that were also denied. That's ridiculous, and clearly just targeting them.

See that's on you

I can improve your method to 6 out of 7 accuracy with absolutely no effort.

That's fair, but wouldn't the more practical conclusion be that we abbreviate long words since that's the whole goal of abbreviation?

We also abbreviate short ones I suppose, like "to" to 2 and "with" to "w/". Really, we just abbreviate things.

Just here to say Omelette du fromage.

This is the first I've heard of him or this situation, but I'm a big fan so far.
