I think Louis Rossman has a video about it somewhere, if I remember I’ll link it in an edit when I have time to find it later.

So you’re… Just trolling then? Trolling here seems even more pointless than usual.

Read the whole article and can’t find anything in there that relates the Manx language to the gender-neutral latinx/latine movement other than the fact that both words end in “nx” (which plenty of other words already do; jinx, lynx, larynx, etc.). Manx doesn’t seem to have gendered words beyond 3rd person pronouns, and they’re not even from the same langulanguage families (gaelic vs latin, though “Manx” as a word come from Norse).

This feels like a weird thing to bring up on this article.

So then everyone’s favourite children’s character Goofy…

TIL the French are paying a lot more tax than me (no it’s about the same just distributed differently) - but also their health system is Definitely better than my country, so that tracks. That said, your income there is a little bit higher the average French income is only about 43,000€. Pressing the “median wage” button on that link you provided rounds out to only 280€ per month that go to public health care. What I’ve really learnt from this is that I want to move to France now… If only I could get over having to speak French.

we do pay a Medicare levy in our taxes but it’s nothing like USA costs

I was thinking about this too - the American monthly health insurance cost is significantly more than my entire monthly tax contribution, including the public healthcare contributions - and I’m not even “low income” by any definition.

Wait American health insurance costs THAT MUCH? And then you have to pay MORE to use it? I’d been imagining a few hundred dollars p.m. and still thinking “that’s too much”. How is there anyone in your country who believes that public health could cost more than that?

You guys need serious help, I’m so sorry.

I have a medical treatment coming up that I’d thought was rather expensive, but after learning that it costs the same as 2 months of terrible medical cover in the USA I feel a bit better about it…

Prime suspect, arrested very recently is named Luigi Mangione

In my country the national postal service offers locked PO boxes for a very small fee, and it’s fairly normal for even people who have a street address to use them to receive mail, so you could probably just do that. That said, I’m not personally partial to the “Van Life” so I haven’t thought about it very deeply.

Legit, these days that’s just waterfront #VanLife, y’know?

Looking through that table, it’s kind of crazy how close many of those are to modern English words

The boomerangs subtly implying the real truth of the matter - that the Australians were behind it all along! No wonder “the Bush” was involved!

I mean yeah, they should probably be ungendered, but in our society they still do get gendered. A lot of expectation is placed on men to be the kind of hard-working person that will work a 50 hour week, put food on the table, be a perfect and present father to their children and a dependable rock for their partner while being perfectly in control of their emotions themselves (and don’t you even think about crying) and still have time to build a furnace and teach the eldest how to change a tire and have an active social life and work out and improve themselves and do all those other things that a normal person needs to do. It’s not good and it’s not right, and it’s not even what the OP was specifically talking about in the post, but that’s why you’ll see words like “strong”, “dependable”, “capable”, etc thrown around in this thread a lot, because men like to feel that way because it feels like they’ve achieved at least some part of the frankly impossible image that’s placed in young boy’s heads of what a man should be.

Were she not a great actress, she could have a promising career as a home-visit aged-care nurse.

Looks like a particularly fancy cassette deck, I think the keyboard-looking thing on the front is the play control buttons, they look very similar to the buttons on one I own. Edit: it is
