solsangraalit 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
pumafred09In England, before ‘woke’ and ‘snowflake’ was a saying, people used to say ‘it’s PC gone mad’.
Sincerely, someone whose PC went mad.
RedditRefugee69Conservatives 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 jealous. Like literally even their worst case boogyman version is… Mostly fine?
And cannot tell the difference between a peak neoliberal shitlib, an anarchist, or a stalinist
Nope. All are “the radical left” to them, because improving someone else’s life a lot at the cost of a minor inconvenience to yourself
KraeuterRoyHave you tried fixing your PC by installing Linux?
em2Yeah.
I use arch btw.
Is arch woke?
caseyweedermanLinus is.
This link has the transcript for the image above, but here’s a key point:
And dammit, if that all makes me “woke”, then I think anybody who uses that word as a pejorative is a f*cking disgrace to the human race. So please just unfollow me right now.
Woke is literally just the opposite of ignorant
Not used widely enough with that intent yet, though.
He likes carburetors, this not woke so not pictured.
Woke = Enlightened
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 OP, 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 blockers. 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.
LumidaubCongratulations, you may have ADHD (one of us one of us <cheer>). The applicable drugs are dopamine reuptake inhibitors (such as Ritalin).
Does ritalin have time-release yet? Hell of a spike if not.
Don’t ask me, there is effectively one (1) brand of methylphenidate available for adults where I am and it’s not Ritalin.
Oh I absolutely do, neurospicy stranger! I have the kind that comes with crushing Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria too.
I’ve tried some non-Ritalin brands of slow release methylphenidate, plus tried some slow release adderall, but right now just taking two immediate-release adderall is doing the trick.
You should SEE the amount of shit I’ve built this summer. I even contribute at work sometimes, lol.
And here I was thinking I was showing you some life-altering possibilities you hadn’t considered lol
Name-brand Concerta, which is methylphenidate packaged in some proprietary time-delay system. The time-delay system is crucial, because you extremely do not want the full dosage dumped into your system all at once, or in irregular batches, and apparently the off-brand manufacturers just haven’t cracked it. I don’t think that’s just propaganda.
Also: I hope you live in a place where medication is covered. :/
Ah ok, thanks! A while back I tried Jornay, which is also time release methylphenidate. Now I am just on instant release adderall. Slow release didn’t work for that either. It’s like it takes too long in my system.
It’s good so far!
I’m in the US with the typical high deductible health insurance you get from an employer in a professional office job. But I’m also in a unique situation where the treatment for a different condition of mine is so expensive that the drug company pays your deductible. So it’s almost like I have really good insurance that covers everything.
Well, sheeple are the ancient eneny, so you must wake them from the dream that is the world without waking yourself or those you love.
I dont get how you dont understand this.
Right wing ideals have never been consistent. It’s all bluster to push an immediate narrative with no regard to how contradictive it is to their other ideals
People are in their bubbles. People who say that woke is bad are shit. People who say that woke is great are shit. The concept is being used for good and bad 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.
When the fuck is it bad to be aware of systems and oppression and systems of oppression?
When what you think you have learned is not the truth, probably.
So… When i think im being oppressed by the jews, instead of the christians?
So when you’re not actually aware…
Such as?
People who say that woke is always great are wrong
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.
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.
I am definitely on your side but being aware of things can be very depressing.
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?
Don’t ask if you might not like the answer :/
GladiusBWhere the fuck is carburetor?
It became woke so was removed
MachinistHidden 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.
RememberTheApollo_Gotta love that the battery is the same size as most of the visible engine.
Yup, and you had to regularly check the water level in it.
The car is probably something like a Chevy II.
All whopping 90 hp of it. My first car was 85 hp, so I had to admire the 90 hp Chevy II.
😁 Those dinky little engines were tough, run forever.
Mine was a chevy pickup with the Straight-6 and three on the tree.
Straight six for the indestructible win.
Not a fan of cars personally, but I love seeing others chatting about something they clearly enjoy, and I love this conversation between you two.
My dream car is a Chevelle with the straight-six, Brazilian turbo manifold, and a mega squirt computer. One day, maybe.
230 straight-six is my favorite engine.
Bundle of snakes for the intake? I had to look that one up. I figured it wasn’t a wax and shave for the engine bay. Good ECM choice, super customizable. Don’t stop looking. You never know when deals show up. I’m 2 years in and nowhere near finished, just got to keep waiting for the right prices. Better slow than never.
Woke, Anti fascist are bad words now
For someone who’s so “woke” you’re really societally unaware. But I guess that might be the point….
you’re really societally unaware
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.
woke has a negative connotation for a reason
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.
if you think most people react positively to the phrase
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
Well there’s a progressive attitude. I imagine a rainbow swastika.
The only swastikas being flown on flags are from MAGAts.
