      Also there is no way the second dude isn’t going. He’s going and hes going to bs and eat and drink beer and belch, no matter who else is going to be there.

        If it’s anything like my brothers family they’ll be the first ones in line for food and the first ones to leave too.

      Yup they think they are the open minded ones or whomever doesn’t immediately fall down to them and refer to their words as gospel as not open minded or interested in ‘a discussion’.

        I still haven’t looked into what “woke” actually means, but from what I can tell, it seems to mean anything far-right people don’t like.

          In left-leaning spaces it means “cognizant of the injustice pervading society”. On the right it means “uppity”.

            I mean that’s what it means to people on the right also they just think that’s a bad thing.

          Yeah, seems like “woke” is anything we’re not supposed to approve of this month.

          I do find the word “woke” incredibly useful.

          The moment the word exits someone’s mouth (as a complaint), I save a ton of energy on how to handle any further information they share (highly suspect).

          Edit: I’ve actually discovered some great art and culture by being warned away from it’s “wokeness”, too.

        that’s why the word was invented, to replace the obvious intolerance for openness
