Damn. That Fox news article was absolute trash. 🤔Thanks for providing a more reputable news link!

I can’t believe this map includes Castile, but does not make any mention of Al-Andalus. That’s one of the most interesting epochs of Iberian history!

Your claim as to its history is simply not true, and its use has, obviously, been mostly limited to the community that generated it. Did you expect Ronald Reagan to use it in his inauguration speech?

Other than that, I don’t see what point you’re actually trying to make here.

Organically developed, like, a community making a new word that fills a lexical need to describe a concept? Sounds a lot like “Mx.” to me. What’s stupid about it?

You just read an article about a non-binary person, so I think we can assume they are, indeed, “a thing.” Something tells me you don’t interact with a lot of queer people anyways, so your acceptance of their terms of address feels pretty irrelevant.

I usually hear it as “mix”.

All titles are “made up,” and Mx. as an honorific has been around for almost fifty years. A better question would be why our two main honorifics for people are so pointlessly gendered.

Thanks for the tip! I have it on my wishlist; can’t wait to start collecting some destiny stars again! 🐱🐱

Final Fantasy Tactics, Valkyrie Profile, and Suikoden 2!

Still waiting for all of these to someday port to Steam. 😅

Yes! I’ve also been doing a Spooky Season last month and this one with some of the same classics - Frankenstein, Dracula, The Invisible Man, and now Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

I had never read any of them before! Based on the popular conceptions versus the reality of the text, I’d say Frankenstein was the most interesting.

Yes! I route my cell phone’s traffic through Adguard DNS and roughly HALF the phone’s traffic each month is blocked as tracking activity. I knew the spying was bad, but I thought I had already installed some browser tools to cut through the thicket. Yeesh.

The Holy Roman Empire.
