This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Somewhat tangential, but my sister-in-law insists that people use "latinx" whenever she hears someone say latino or latina. This despite the fact that latinos overwhelmingly prefer the terms "latino" or "hispanic" to describe themselves; in fact most have never even heard the term latinx and most of those who have are offended by that, not by latino or hispanic. I like pointing out to my (very white) sister-in-law that there is nothing more white than telling other ethnicities what they should or should not be called.

Latinx sounds like a new Linux distribution.

we should make it a distro, just to fuck it over. Sounds funny to me.

There isn't already an Esperanto distro? That feels like something RMS would have fought for
