Kinda off topic but
if you ever want to be cured of your perfectionism about competition try card games or pokemon those 30-50% auto loss fights will slap you in the face until you stop taking it personally
What was Woke? A megathread documenting the most deranged era of our time 🧵🧵🧵
When AOC declared woke over and dismissively laughed that "Woke 1 was crazzzy", she was sending a calculated signal to the Leftist rank & file that "Woke" was now more of a political liability than a help and it was time to pivot from "its not happening" to "ok it was happening but it wasnt that bad, can we just move on now?"
The online hordes clearly understood the assignment, as the online space is full of ppl either dismissing Woke as "just some online kooks " and pretending not to understand what Woke even was (thus making discourse impossible).
They will adopt a "gotcha" strategy where they will demand to know on the spot exactly what was so bad about Woke and when you dont have an itemized list in bullet points at the ready, will dismiss your entire argument that Woke was bad.
So here I'm creating a thread so you can all bookmark it and use it anytime says "Woke wasnt that big a deal", "it was just online kooks", or "it was just about having empathy and being kind".
You will notice not one of the examples in this thread are "online kooks". Almost every single one is a major media company. Despite the catastrophic reputational loss of the last two decades, these companies are still very powerful and influential, and since most of the public still mindlessly outsources their thinking to the media, they play a key role in shaping public opinion. Keep that in mind as you read some to the deranged things these psychopaths were pushing on us.
If in the future, someone wants to study how, when and why the mainstream media pivoted from Neutral Arbiter of Truth to Culture Warrior, Narrative Shaper and Social Engineer, this thread would be a valuable resource.
So without further ado, what IS Woke?

Jerry, thats genius! Dont you see? If you believe in me, then I dont have to believe in myself. I can get the job, the girl. I just have to believe in the you that believes in me!
Now wait a minute. That sounds like a big responsibility. Im not sure if I believe in you that much
This truly was the end of greatness in the series. Not because the Frontier specifically was important - but what this message meant.
They went out of their way to say "We know just the type of thing that can turn games from good to great. And we're not interested in doing it."
When you win in UNO no Mercy (THEE second Uno Edit)
Okay so yeah if you want no friends play this version of UNO😂
this took 6 months to edit alone. It HAD to outdo the first one. #unoedit#uno#legendaryjay#unoedit2
Call the Millenial an "Unc", a "Boomer", it all washes off him like water off a raincoat. But call his teenage anime "Retro" and watch how he suddenly shrinks back: "I've been mogged out"
When people were talking about Cinderella Gray having that localization thing where they don't translate it as Christmas, it was annoying
But the Christmas event in the Umamusume game is even worse
Santa Claus himself wishes Oguri Merry Christmas, and "Christmas" is said around 5 times just in the first scene, but it's translated as "holiday." Oguri gets invited to a "year-end holiday party." She remarks how it's the "holiday season." Again, I can hear what Oguri is saying. Both of them are talking about Christmas specifically but the subtitles can't reflect that
I'll post a recording of the scene later because it was pissing me off just reading it
