    So common sense is dictated now by a few members of niche social media circles?

        One, it’s virtue signaling at its best.

        Secondly, randomly adding in the letter x to things is not ‘common sense’.

        Common sense is the ability to make practical judgments and behave in a sensible way. It’s the knowledge and experience that most people have, or should have.

        So my original point still stands. ‘Mx’ is not common sense. Knowing not to play a game of chicken with traffic, is common sense. Maybe this is why common sense isn’t so common anymore, people just appropriate words/phrases to mean whatever they want, instead of what they mean.

        This is how we’ve ended up in a world where the word literally no longer means the word literally.

            Bitcoin and NFTs… That’s the counter argument you go with. Fucking Christ…

      You’d think someone using the name CaptPretentious would be all in favor of things being made up by niche social circles.

        Sorry was I supposed to put my first name, last name, social Security number, and mother’s maiden name as my username?

      Well see, common sense would have me ask “hm, how do I say that?” then google it, then when I see that it’s simply pronounced “mix” I’d say “oh, okay”. And then go on about my day… instead of ranting about how hard it is to figure out and how angry it should make everyone. But that’s just me.

        If it were me, I would probably figure out what the person I’m trying to argue arguing with was actually arguing about. Instead of getting up on a soapbox and pretending like I know what I’m arguing about. But that would take effort.

        But you keep using those canned responses you got ready to go.

          Wow, those two letters really shook you. Deep breaths.

            My position has fuck all to do with the letters.

            But you really need it to be don’t you. Because your canned responses only work if that’s what I’m arguing about.
