it was always "woke"
it should be woke
woke is a GOOD thing, and anyone who says otherwise is a sack of shit and should be ashamed
sincerely,
woke AF woke person who is woke
Where the fuck is carburetor?
It became woke so was removed
Hidden by the valve cover, intake is on the far side, note the spark plugs on this side. Air cleaner has been removed. It's a straight-4.
Woke is literally just the opposite of ignorant
Woke = Enlightened
Not used widely enough with that intent yet, though.
It might even end up being in the dictionary as "Something that you don't like", instead :P
Happier times, when it was just the past tense for "wake".
In England, before 'woke' and 'snowflake' was a saying, people used to say 'it's PC gone mad'.
Sincerely, someone whose PC went mad.
Have you tried fixing your PC by installing Linux?
Yeah.
I use arch btw.
Is arch woke?
Linus is.
This link has the transcript for the image above, but here's a key point:
Conservatives essentially believe that liberals are all the PC Principal from South Park.
Honestly even the over-the-top caricature that he is is still well-meaning and mostly decent, just zealous. Like literally even their worst case boogyman version is... Mostly fine?
I never got how it was 'bad' to be woke but at the same time we should 'wake up sheeple'.
War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength
Oh and drugs is mental health.
Medication can be an important part of mental healthcare for many people.
"I don't put oil in my car. It's not natural."
Everyone's brains have cells that manufacture dopamine, receptors that detect dopamine levels, and cleaner proteins that keep your brain from just being full of dopamine all the time.
My cleaner proteins are overpowered, so the dopamine is rarely in my brain long enough to get detected, so I don't get the "good job sport/hamster treat button" reward feeling unless the dopamine burst is REALLY STRONG, like the first few times I accomplish or learn something new.
That's why I struggle with brushing my teeth or doing the dishes or making it to appointments on time or doing my homework, but I thrive off of picking up new hobbies that I'm sure I'll stick with, this time, and not drop the moment I didn't spend a bunch of money on tools and materials for, like all the previous hobbies.
It's why I literally cannot form habits.
So I take a medication that inhibits those dopamine vacuums. The dopamine gets produced and gets to stick around long enough in my brain juices that the receptors can take a meaningful poll of my levels. Now when I press the button, the hamster treat comes out!
For decades I thought I was just lazy, and bad, because everyone around me was telling me that I just needed to apply myself. So much potential. It turns out my brain is just too good at one very narrowly specific thing that makes it hard for me to be good at anything.
And meditation or cutting back on sugar or just pushing through it, none of that did a goddamn thing because it's not a moral failure, it's not that I'm not trying, it's that my brain needs a little help managing chemicals.
Wow, that matches my experience exactly.
I’m curious if you’re willing to share what the medication is in your case.
Congratulations, you may have ADHD (one of us one of us ). The applicable drugs are dopamine reuptake inhibitors (such as Ritalin).
Woke, Anti fascist are bad words now. Sounds like a famous book I read.
For someone who’s so “woke” you’re really societally unaware. But I guess that might be the point….
please, enlighten me
It’s real simple: woke has a negative connotation for a reason. I won’t deny that the context is complex, but if you think most people react positively to the phrase, you’re living under a rock.
yea, because right wing propaganda has turned it into a pejorative.
i don't know how i gave the impression that i give a fuck what maga thinks. but i don't.
where did i say or imply that? you're making assumptions based on what you feel, and those assumptions are wrong
again, woke is a GOOD thing, and anyone who says otherwise is a sack of shit and should be ashamed
"Woke" is a term bigots and racists took over to use to hate on "tolerance" without saying they hate "tolerance". Take it back.
What would you have us use instead then? They were going after "empathy" last month. No matter what word you choose, Nazis are gonna Nazi.
It has a negative connotation only for nazis and racists. For everyone else it has a clear, well defined meaning. Anyone who uses it as pejorative is a racist, nazi propagandist.
That reason is right wing propogandists who have a long history of trying to appropriate language others are using and using it as a negative label within their own community to try to distract from all the bullshit they're doing to those bigots they are distracting.
That's it.
For someone who's so "societally aware", you're really a sack of shit. But I guess that might be the point...
Exactly. Like, what are TV suppose to teach? Don't fraternise with black people? Men should always be dominant over women? Empathy is bad? Christianity is the one and only true religion and Muslims should be deported?
People who say that woke is always bad are wrong. People who say that woke is always great are wrong. The concept is being used for cynically manipulating people to be at each others' throats all the time because that's how fucked up shit companies make amazing amounts of money these days apparently.
Dunno how lemmy plays into all this, probably by cargo cult copying what those shit companies were doing.
When the fuck is it bad to be aware of systems and oppression and systems of oppression?
Maybe you’re confusing being aware with specific choices of how to respond. Being aware is always good, but you can always argue with what people choose to do with that knowledge.
LOL bro-- you're in the wrong fucking place here
woke is ALWAYS great. the opposite of woke is ALWAYS bad.
i don't know what your maga motivation is, but it's weak.
