I'm here rallying against the other woke agenda.

How dare people expect me to have less than 12 hours of sleep?! Have they seen my bed? Have they felt it?? Most certainly not!
Eat a brownie and have a nap! The man has no jurisdiction under these comfy covers!!!

Where the hell do I sign up?

Unfortunately I just can't relate to this. I got a new mattress, which is great, but now my pillows are ever so slightly too short or too soft. Do you have any recommendations?

Get larger, firmer pillows?

[–] PlantJam 2 points 1 month ago

Coincidentally these are the firmer pillows.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I'm afraid I cannot be of help, you see I had the same issue. My current pillow was obtained after years of searching, from perhaps thousands, if not billions of pillows tested.
I know not of its name, nor origins. It satisfies me, though I often wonder what would happen once this pillow meets the same fate as the others. Tagless, innards squished to where they shall expand no more... I would like to say this keeps me up at night, though it's a decent pillow. Good luck on your quest.

Regardless of the original message, reposting a screenshot with "yup" is a shitty tweet & Musk behavior.

Human rights for me, not for thee.

"Woke" has had many meanings over the years. Originally it was used as "watch out for racist police" in the black community.

Then it was picked up by right wing people, and it was given the meaning of "anti-racism" and being woke was being against racism. Being against woke became a way to say anti-anti-racism, so being pro-racism without explicitly saying so.

After that, more meaning was tacked on. It started being used for all kinds of LGBTQ+ stuff. Then it was also associated with anything leftist and eventually landed on "anything I don't like".

So yeah, it can now just as well being redefined as human rights, as right now anti-woke is just repressing other people's rights.

Spot on. It's a placeholder word for whatever vile shit they don't want to say out loud. Same as DEI, which seems to be taking over more and more.

More than that it also gets to be about things outside of rights, like representation in media. They slap that shit on everything that acknowledges that someone who isn’t a very specific kind of person might exist. It’s not technically a right to have, say, a black super hero so they’re “able” to dodge around the entire human rights discussion to continue being just reall fuckin’ awful.

Don’t forget lead water mains and lead paint!

We've just replaced them with PFAS and microplastics.

It's just like a good seasoning, mix it all together and see what happens.

[–] IzzyScissor 17 points 1 month ago

Exact same thing with "being politically correct" to mean "treating people with respect".

The Woke Mind Virus is just ideas. Nothing is more contagious than a good idea.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Did you know there is a word for that? It's been bastardized by the internet but that's a meme by its original definition.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Bad ideas seem to be more virulent actually

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

It used to mean that when it was used by black activists. Now it's been weaponized by the right and likened to offended white people calling for cancel and failed policies they try to paint as leftist policies.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

The opposite of woke is asleep.
