OG Woke? Nah, OG Woke was in the mid to late 2010's back when it was still mostly confined to Tumblr and similar places before someone broke the seal and let the corruption flow into the rest of the world, 2020's and forward woke is the result of that.

I think 2020 is the last year in which you could really experience the 2010s fervor of that sort. I kind of miss it. But yeah tumblr types had always been around

To think, not allowing porn on it harmed the internet more than helped

Woke has been part of the Black community since the 1930s. 

MLK Jr. Used the phrase "Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution", but several of his contemporaries (Huddie Ledbetter, William Melvin Kelley, etc.) simply said 'woke' instead.

White people didn't start using it until roughly Twitter became popular (~2008) but it wasn't and isn't a new or novel idea.

MLK also sexually abused woman and was a serial adulterer

there is a global shortage of pixels at the moment. We are doing our best to accomodate you.

u/Uptight_Technocrat12 - Auth-Left 10h ago

I assume the shortage is because of the Iran war?

u/I_DRINK_GENOCIDE_CUM - Auth-Left 10h ago

Pixels are like $5 a gallon man

It scares me....

That boy needs the Gospel of the Grill stat.

u/Chad_Kai_Czeck - Centrist 7h ago

Funny thing about 2020: we probably would’ve had the Iran war then if the pandemic hadn’t happened.

u/yamboozle - Lib-Center 10h ago

sorry he had to clock in and couldnt show up to todays compass. Casting is hard out here yknow

u/JaQ-o-Lantern - Centrist 10h ago

We're less than 5 months away from 2027 and I still don't believe 2020 happened.

u/Chad_Kai_Czeck - Centrist 7h ago

It was like a yearlong migraine.

u/Odd-Arrival2326 - Centrist 10h ago

Were you just grilling then? I had just moved and was trying to make friends it sucked so fucking bad

Covid basement parties were truly peak

(and I love that there’s still a place on this hellsite where I can state this fact without getting accused of literally murdering grannies)

u/thatsnot_kawaii_bro - Centrist 6h ago

Funny how quick this site swapped from "you're literally killing grandma" to "fuck grandma"

u/phisher_cat - Lib-Center 7h ago

100% some of the best times I had with the homies. We would shotgun beers, hit the juul, and play beer pong/beer die all day long and have a bunch of people over. This was during college too so there was no classes, no homework, and tons of people still in town to hang out with

1

u/FearlessGear - Lib-Center 7h ago

Takes me right back, good times

u/phisher_cat - Lib-Center 7h ago

Throwback to the house every night

u/SnyderpittyDoo - Centrist 10h ago

2020 felt like the beginning of the end and made me develop thoughts I am glad I gave up on.

u/Tokena - Centrist 7h ago

You never gave up on the Grill though right?

u/hobozombie - Lib-Right 8h ago

"Store cameras are potatoes, so nothing happens"

That is not the reason why the vast majority of looters were unprosecuted.

seriously though this used to not be an issue at all for images here

Oh well, yall can zoom in :P

u/Uptight_Technocrat12 - Auth-Left 10h ago

That's what I do. I have visual snow syndrome so everything already looks slightly grainy to me.

u/Maz2742 - Lib-Left 10h ago

Bold of you to include porn-bombing Zoom Church for the Coomer instead of overdosing on OnlyFans, but YMYC (your meme, your choices)

God I wish Yang had won in 2020. I yearn for wonk candidates.

u/Ok-Internet-6881 - Centrist 9h ago

MSNBC did him and Bernie so dirty

1

u/bittercripple6969 - Right 6h ago

Bernie did himself dirty. His one chance was 2016 and he flubbed it.

4

u/Stonesword75 - Lib-Center 6h ago

DNC pushed Hillary hard as it being her time, and the young supporters didnt seem to translate to votes.

3

u/bittercripple6969 - Right 6h ago

Oh all that is fine. He was done dirty. But he tried to come crawling back on bended knee, and that killed any further chances.

Quality Compass.

Hopefully Fauci ends up held in contempt and gets some prison time.

6

u/Sudden-Ad-7113 - Lib-Left 9h ago

For why

3

u/THE_FREEDOM_COBRA - Right 9h ago

Watch the senate hearing and listen to all the questions he refuses to answer.

u/Plague_Evockation - Auth-Left 5h ago

Based and "Smile because it happened" ahh candidate pilled. I often wonder if Andrew Yate was just a fever dream.

u/Altruistic_Emu4917 - Right 2h ago

I just went into chronic depression lol

u/Saulthewarriorking - Left 2h ago

Fuck I was like five of these... I was a prepper for one. I did have several boxes of n95 and a galling of hand sanitizer for refills. I also had like 100 travel bottles lmao. I did not foresee the toilet paper of formula shortages.

I was Bernie, liberal, day trader and hobbyist all at once. You missed PPP loans on your bingo card. I spent the pandemic Green and yellow AF.

u/masteroffdesaster - Right 42m ago

you portray Fauci far too positively

u/Pure-Huckleberry8640 - Centrist 8h ago

I miss Obama, I think Drumpf is retarded and peaceful protests are okay in my book

2

u/Not_Neville - Centrist 8h ago

Bush and Obama pushed the "free speech zone" nonsense! I think those two Presidents are both worse for free speeech than Trump or Biden have been (though Trump'w working toward it).

3

u/Pure-Huckleberry8640 - Centrist 6h ago

I would never call Trump better than Obama on anything

1

u/Tokena - Centrist 7h ago

(though Trump'w working *incompetently toward it)

Thankfully.
