The definition of woke: “the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”
-Ron DeSantis chief counsel
Anyone that would argue woke is bad is a racist, sexist, bigot
Y'all oughtta distinguish "y'all" from "all y'all".
I thought the distinction was clear:
- y'all - singular
- all y'all - plural
That's not right:
- you - singular
- y'all - plural
- all y'all - superplural
Y'all refers to multiple people, all y'all refers to multiple groups of people
My understanding:
- you: the person I'm talking to
- y'all: the group of folks I'm talking to
- all y'all: y'all, plus anyone else that could possibly be addressed by me (everyone in voice range)
(Agreeing and using different words to say the what I think is the same thing)

I actually have been using y'all in this manner for about a decade. I found some women didn't appreciate being called "you guys" when I addressed a group of people.

I find it’s also singular and plural.
Checkmate, nobody
You lot? I use you lot in place of y'all, because I can't bring myself to contract you and all together.

Shit, if ungendered pronouns make it woke, then I should ditch my native language.
English is the wokest language. In Spanish, all nouns are gendered. That means when Trump wanted to build a wall, he was actually being woke AF.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
