A community for some conservative points of view. You can comment but not post articles, because there are bad-faith posters who want to post horrible content just to get people in trouble.
Rule 0: Serial downvoters who downvote out of hate and don't interact with the community will be banned.
ππ» Rule 1: Kindly be empathetic and kind to others. Trolling and spamming will not be tolerated. Making the community a friendly & supportive place is our goal.
All of us are here for a short lifetime. Letβs have a nice time here and avoid negativity. :)
Please be respectful, even if you don't agree.
Don't personally attack people. Don't call them names.
Be grown-ups.
Terrible attempt at journalism. They can't stop themselves from implying that the "woke city" (whatever that means) owns the building and only admit that it's actually owned by a hedge fund and a property management corp below the fold.
βwoke cityβ (whatever that means)
You know exactly what woke means and what it means in the context of this story. Now you may not like the word, you may not agree with people using the word, but you know what it means.
I don't, actually. "Woke" seems to mean something different to everyone I ask.
What does it mean to you?
If you don't know what "woke" means in this context, then I can't help you. I know you are looking for some big "gotcha" moment. But you see helpless when I comes to words, so try harder.
No, the article doesn't specify what they mean by the term either.
There is no "gotcha" here, just a very simple and direct question. If that feels like a loaded question to you then it must mean that your personal definition of "woke" is something you feel too ashamed to share in public for some reason..
your personal definition of βwokeβ is something you feel too ashamed to share in public for some reasonβ¦
I'm not ashamed at all. If you don't know what "woke" means, then you are the one with the problem.
I know how I use the term on the rare occasion it is called for, it's your personal definition and therefore your own honor that is at stake here.
herefore your own honor that is at stake here.
lololol Say wat, mate?! lolololol
Dude, go outside. Try talking to women. Or men. But something. You really need to realize that lemmy is not real life or that important.
My "own honor" lolololololol
It's really funny of you to say that today, of all days, when I'm literally sitting between the married couple I'm dating while we sell handcrafted art to festival goers in the state capitol. XD
So go on then, if it isn't important, explain what "woke" means to you.
Iβm literally sitting between the married couple Iβm dating
Riiiiighhhtt. lololol
Do you want a picture? Or are you just trying to avoid defining "woke" and thereby making an ass out of yourself?
I don't have to define anything. Especially to you. If you don't know what a word or concept means, then I can't help you. So go on in your make believe cuck relationship. Do you get this obsessed about everything in your life? The fact that you take Lemmy so seriously is really funny to me. What's it like? You live a life where the smallest slights irritate you enough that you get obsessed about them. Is it tiring?
Of course you don't have to. Your choice not to is just as telling~.
And you've completely misunderstood what sort of person I am. I like arguing about politics and terminology. I'm not taking you seriously, otherwise I'd have taken offense at your assumption that my polyfamily is a cuckold situation. On the contrary, I'm having fun. Are you?
I like arguing about politics and terminology.
I don't. I think it's boring af. You're way too obsessed about this. Move on.
You're the one that revived a month-old thread, buddy. XD
Meh, I was on vacation and was just going down list and replying to all of my messages. Guess I didn't pay attention and realize that you were a chronically online obsessed Lemmy politics fan. I now take you even less seriously. Which is a good thing. Because Lemmy isn't ever gonna be a thing that lasts. lol
And? Since when did the ephemeral nature of language make our conversations any less consequential? Doesn't that make it more important to explain what we mean while we have the chance?
I still don't care. But keep asking! Maybe I'll change my mind! Because our constant back and forth makes this community more active so more people can see the community and the posts and it will stay on top of the feeds. So you're helping out! So go on, ask again....
Sure, buddy. I bet there is lots of call among "the community" for pedantic assholes like me who ask questions that you aren't comfortable answering. I'm sure your feelings are bouyed by all this "fresh" activity. XD
you arenβt comfortable answering.
I'm totally comfortable answering. The very fact that you don't think I am means you automatically sense that it must mean something terrible to me and you want your gotcha moment. I know what you are trying to do, and I won't play your game. But keep replying so this community stays very visible to Lemmy. :) So go on. Ask again
I'm totally comfortable answering.
If that were the case, you could have done so, just to prove me wrong, at any point in the last month. XD
once again, you are making yourself way too important in this dialogue. I don't care what you say at all. i just want you to keep posting so that this sub stays visible. So go on ask agan
Lol, any chance of my replies bumping the visibility of this sub died while you were waiting four weeks to reply, buddy. XD
Nah, you're bringing it all back! Keep going!
Sorry, buddy. It's just you and me in here. XD
Remote work making downtown commercial real estate less necessary/valuable has fuck all to do with whatever you guys are claiming is woke this week.
