        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.

      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?
