I'm using it in the appropriate academic/clinical population context in accordance with APA 7 guidance.

E: there is of course, literally no other appropriate use of the term outside of an inclusive population metric in stuff like education Policy and statistical representation.

I really don’t care what APA 7 guidelines say. I mean if you’re being pressured to write a certain way because of fake woke academia, by all means, do what it takes to keep your job. But let’s be real for a second here. This is an artificial term that doesn’t even represent us for the most part. First we were Hispanic, then we became Latino/Latina, now all of a sudden we’re supposed to be Latinx because some dicksuck ivory tower motherfucker wanted to reinvent the wheel that is the Spanish language?

Someone in the C‑SPAM New York Times thread has personal knowledge of the guy.

Reminds me of my Calc 2 class where the passing grade ended up being ~20 (out of 100). In that case it was a graduate / PhD level professor who decided he wanted to write an undergrad Calc textbook despite never having taught at that level since his TA days, and we ended up being his first guinea pig course. The school ultimately decided they couldn't make 200 students retake it just because they hosed up with the instructor so they waived most of us through.

Much of the score was predicated on homework and participation so even if you got rocked on the exams you could easily make it up. I remember liking it 24 years ago geez I'm getting old.

That’s great for your research but I asked you, politely, to refrain from using it on here. Just here.

You cited the same guidelines that claim LATIN@ is a “widely accepted” thing. A thing that the vast majority of people in the target group have never heard of. A thing I can’t even loving Google to check up on.

This is incorrect. Black market is cheaper for some things, but not all. I got a half ounce for $50 yesterday that is equal or higher quality than any black market weed. Black market kind bud, which matches up around 14% from the dispensary, is around $60/eighth.

Vapes and such, yeah, you can get those cheaper, but flower is absolutely not unless you're deliberately buying the most expensive stuff.

FL also has fantastic labeling and testing requirements. The weed you get is literally the percentage on the label. I had weed in legal states with less regulation, and despite claims about being 20%+, nothing was as good as even the 15% stuff here in FL.

I have had the exact opposite experience. Legal weed here has been beyond hit and miss from every dispensary we've tried, and most of it I would barely even class as decent much less good. Especially the edibles and concentrates.

CO and CA kicked the dog poo poo out of it in every respect, while being cheaper and way fuckin easier to use.

That's assuming the bridge wasn't built with load bearing grift quality steel and concrete.

The bridge itself was actually built by a dutch company. So I doubt that Russia has the equipment to get it fully back to normal.

I'm kind of surprised they put scaffolding in. That's a thing you do to aid in inspection. So at least they were thinking ahead a little bit. Also that they had a construction joint in between the two directions. But your point is valid. Either Putin had the engineering plans done in advance or it went from proposed to constructed in a little over 3 years, which is obscenely fast.

Now imaging if you will that next to the scrap wood shoe matt (damn right im going to have people kick off their shoes before entering my tiny home) a rocking chair or camping chair, and then beside that a small grill or sawn off 55-gallon barrel sitting on top of a wire spool.
Just a simple google seach shows that latine is prefered over latinx. Latine or latini is recommended by spanish speaking scholars and actually makes sense to the spanish language since many words have e or i ending to facilitate flow. When i was learning spanish my friend, if i misprounced something horridly he would tell me that if he said it that way that it would be like stuffing a sock in his mouth mid sentence, that it would taste bad and interrupt the flow. Latine was derived from non-binary and feminist groups in spanish speaking countries. As someone who went through the rigors of academia, id tell the apa to stuff a sock in it, get over themselves, and stop calling cultures something other than what they call themselves. Academics are not immune from problematic language.

Chocolate can be weird this one company from FL, called moon men iirc used to make a fantastic delta 8 milk chocolate, but later they switched something and it went to tasting like rear end. Pretty much gummies now for that stuff.
