It’s literally as simple as me having thought DNI was a more widely known term.
Also, the person I responded to in that quote was an idiot. Doesn’t mean everyone else here is.
she/they
Sick as the terminally ill
No, sick as in the term “mentally ill”

damn, that’s crazy.
I ain’t reading all that
Yeah, it’s become very evident that “DNI” is not as universal of a terms as I thought it was.
On your second point, I’m not referring specifically to nonbinary folk, but rather to the language referring to the ethnicity as a whole.
With (most) other ethnicities/nationalities, the English terminology is neutral (French, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Greek, African, etc.), but the classical term for “Latino” is male-gendered.
This is why people have started to use the term “Latinx”, and occasionally “Latine”.
Personally, I think “Latinx” is a bastardization of the language, while “Latine” works within the linguistic framework, but I’m asking for opinions from the people within this group to see their preference
It’s not my job to educate idiots
I just block them :3
The issue, at least as far as I understand it, is that “Latino” as a general term irks people.
It’s like referring to humans as “men’ instead of “people”. It contributes to a sense of patriarchal dominance.
Personally, when I refer to humans as a group, I say “people”, not “man” or “men”.
With a lot of ethnicities, the terms are neutral. Caucasians are Caucasians. Asians are Asians, African Americans are African Americans, etc.
But “Latino” is a gendered term by its very nature. This is why a lot of people have started using “Latinx” or “Latine”.
You need to learn some manners.
If someone specifies that a post is directed toward a specific group that you are not a part of, then you should keep scrolling instead of whining in the comments.
I assumed it would be understood by most people. Apparently I was wrong. Live and learn, I guess
Literally did not ask for your opinion.
“Non-Latinx/Latine DNI”
Apparently y’all can’t read.
Fallout 4 had me noticing a lot of scrap for a bit. Seeing a roll of duct tape was like looking at a bar of gold.
Would definitely recommend listening to A Thousand Suns in its entirety. Absolutely their magnum opus. Also should check out the 20th anniversary editions of Hybrid Theory and Meteora. They’re both filled with insane amounts of demos and unreleased songs. Lost, Fighting Myself, QWERTY, and And One are some of the best demos that should have made it to albums
My only tattoo is a memoriam to Chester… Dude was my idol, and biggest inspiration.
Mf had an insane voice. Never gonna see anyone quite like him again.
Just hope that wherever he may be, if anywhere, he’s found some peace. He deserves it.
Linkin Park
If the last thing I’d heard from them was Meteora and then woke up to hear a song like Heavy or Talking to Myself, I would straight up just not believe it’s the same band. That’s not to say I don’t like their later stuff, but its radically different.
On the other hand, the 20th anniversary editions of Hybrid Theory and Meteora would blow my mind.
Got myself lost in the woods at night for a good hour or so. Overgrowth was largely covering the desire path I regularly walk, and when I turned around to head back, I couldn’t find it at all.
Knew the general direction back to the main trail, so I opened my map on my phone and started walking that way in what I thought was a straight line… Problem is, my phone is screwy and the arrow showing where I’m facing points 90° to the side… After a half hour of trudging my way through the brush, I finally saw a clearing, and when I got to it… it was the same spot I started at, except I came from the other side.
Somehow I had walked in a massive circle, and my phone (which I was using as my flashlight) battery was getting concerning low, as I had failed to charge it earlier.
Tried again and eventually managed to get back to the main trail, but I was definitely starting to panic by the time I did.
I just use Kodi with the Crew addon
It’s a bitch to get set up properly, but it gets the job done
Alternatively, you can always just go to a streaming site using the fire stick’s web-browser.
Police are there to help
I see “no problem” as nicer. If I say that, I’m expressing that I really don’t mind, and there’s no need to thank me. No problem, as in I had no problem with doing this thing
“You’re welcome” feels more like “I appreciate you thanking me, because I went out of my way to do this”, if that makes any sense
There is absolutely other life somewhere. None of it has reached or contacted us, though
You have to account for the fact that, even if a civilization were to broadcast some sort of signal, it would take many millennia or eons for any signals to reach us. And even then, we would have to be advanced enough to be able to receive and interpret those signals at the same time they reach Earth.
There could very well be countless advanced civilizations whose signals just haven’t reached us yet, just as there may have been countless ones whose signals couldn’t be received or understood when they reached us, and they’ve died out or otherwise stopped transmitting before we could.
Keep in mind that the first radio broadcast on Earth was only 127 years ago. That means the farthest anyone could possibly detect any radio signal from earth is a mere 127 light years away.
Don’t care, didn’t ask
