Fair enough, I learned some things today. I was under the impression that indigenous languages were a lot more normalized than they actually are. I still think that using more indigenous language in everyday stuff is low-key a win, but for it to be commericalized while denying it elsewhere is just a slap in the face.

Enh, it’s at least a little more complicated than that. Native or mestizo people are much more common in Mexico than the US. For example, Nahuatl has somewhere between 1.3 and 1.7 million speakers, mostly in Mexico. This is not counting over a dozen other languages that have hundreds of thousands of speakers apiece (wiki. By comparison, in the entire US there were only about 372,000 people that speak any indigenous language.

Depending on how you want to look at it, this could be just…a normal name, or even a tribute to the Nahuatl community. Or just a cynical attempt to sell more cars by looking inclusive. How many people need to speak a language before it’s ‘normal’, after all? We don’t go asking Italians before we put stuff in Latin. Or the Irish before we sell St Paddy’s Day shirts. Etc.

The chat built into my hospital’s charting software has the ‘thumbs up’ react so you can quickly and easily show that you’ve read it. So for me it just means ‘heard’, ‘roger’, etc.

Ok, real talk:

For baking, mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water and let sit for 2 min. This replaces 1 egg. The taste will obviously be a bit different, so consider only replacing half of your eggs if needed. Easier on your wallet and on the chickens.

For ‘plated’ eggs, consider a tofu scramble instead. Get some ‘firm’-grade tofu, whip it up just like an egg, add spices to taste, and cook it in a pan until the water evaporates (tofu is precooked, so no worries about needing to cook it until ‘done’). Good for you, good for the environment too.

Infections do not have have the ability to choose to not damage their host. People do have that choice, and many make it.

You are, I think, making a mistake that many people do, in thinking humans should have zero impact on the environment. This is nonsense. Does any other animal have zero impact on the environment? Beavers and wild boars can change entire watersheds! An ecologically aware future is not one where humanity has disappeared, merely one where we have consciously limited our effects on it. Ask a virus to do that.

Oh see, I just back them up to my desktop. Where they sit. Just in case. I don’t have a problem, I swear.

What an absolute shit piece of writing.

You do not open a business deal by sptting in the face of trusted allies, let alone over stupid issues that don’t matter. It’s no fucking wonder this asshole drives all of his companies into the ground. AP is going on the blocklist. What an absolute dumpster fire.

Please let them know they can migrate to midwest.social, where calling for the murder of CEOs is both acceptable and just plain good manners. Thanks!

Am I the only one who was mildly upset that they weren’t? Like shit, we somehow got to bio-transhumanism before techno-transhumanism, that’s rad. By all means, let’s research new ways of being transgender, I wanna see what people come up with next.
