It's always better to be lucky than good.
Cocky funny is basically the first lesson in pick-up. Good old basics.
If you know how to do it. If you don't you are going to have a very bad time.. and so is everyone else
You also have to follow rules 1 and 2.
You can be ugly, but as long as you take care of yourself and ooze self-confidence, you do not need to be Chad or a boy band singer to pull this off.
Being ugly is so overvalued too. Sure there are some disfigured people. But pretty much everyone else is just average and should take better care of themselves. Looks in my experience are just an excuse usually.
That is very true. A healthy fit person will rarely be unattractive. Personal hygiene and grooming can make just about anyone attractive short of extreme disfigurement. I was just being cheeky above.
I like how it jumps 10 years

There's considerable debate about the -x ending, both in this community and in the Latin American community. Some like it for its sense of gender inclusion, but it doesn't naturally fit with the languages it's applied to and some see it akin to colonial rule over their language(s).
I don't have a dog in this fight, as I'm not from any of the above communities. But some people feel very strongly about this topic and if you're unaware of that context, you might end up in the middle of an argument you didn't go looking for.
Yea, the intention's good, but as a native Romanian speaker (same language family), I gotta say, that shit ugly. We need smth else. It's super tricky with gendered languages
Isn't there an attempt to repurpose @ for gender-neutral? Looks awkward, too
The @ is just a fancy a, so i don't think it's a good idea, generally i don't think it's a good idea to use any letter or symbol that doesn't match at all our languages, it just feel to forced and most of those "solutions" include a group but exclude another big group: people with dyslexia, but also those with dysorthographia at times;
My take is: we ditch one of the 2 genres and we have only one, or we add a thirdy one with a nicer sound than shit like -x, -ə or -u which is kinda hard tbh, maybe we can take a letter from some other alphabet?
I’m well aware, thanx.

One guy doing that bit is already too many
Þan@
I think they are making fun of that guy. Or is that the guy?
It's probably the first LLM bot that San has infected with their shenanigans
Cool, carry on then
My first thought anytime i see *x is of Marvel's Weapon X.
So I think of bad ass superpowered latinx.
And really, finding the courage to be *x because that is what you are despite the shittyness the world will heap on you. That requires/proves superpowers.
No, it's fucking stupid because
-
it can't be pronounced by native Spanish speakers - probably because it was invented by white American guy.
-
a gender neutral ending that can be actually pronounced had already sprung up naturally (-e/-é, so Latiné), and probably would have been more widespread for now if not by fucking white ass culture warrior bs pushing for the stupid dumbass X ending. Instead, the one that organically came up via the Mexican drag community gets buried by the idioté white guy version.
You want to get on a Hispanics bad side, then use the dumbass X ending.
Lol I'm so glad this thing isn't catching on and is so often ridiculed by the people it's supposed to "help." I see that silly X and my phonetic brain just goes
"Lah-tinks" or in the above poster's instance "Fill-ih-pinks". LMAO wat? Who would appreciate that?!
This is the same culture-warrior neckbearding that wants to crusade and die on the hill that "Hey guys" should be offensive to anybody in a mixed group who doesn't just so happen to be male.
It feels like the kinda thing that only sounds like a good idea when people are so isolated they only communicate online.
I miss feeling like that about the letter X. Ever since Elon Musk started using the letter for everything he has a hand in naming, it's lost the cool sheen it used to have for me. :(
Phuck off with that x shit
Spicy.
Did he pronounce it with a hard or soft J?
I don't think soft j is the correct way of saying this, but I understand what you're going for.
It's gotta be a hard j, right? I mean it's Japanese — the joke sort of loses its meaning if it isn't an unholy combination of the two cultures.
It has to be KH sound like in jalapeño, just to confuse more
But how did You pronounce it?
Jel o pin yo
They do it to me every time
