What if I don't want my computer asking for my age and providing an API to give up that information? Why is the government mandating software devs to add bloat and privacy violating features to operating systems?
The slippery slope isn't a fallacy in this case as we've seen the pot slowly come to a boil after 9/11 with various laws like the Patriot Act, FISA, etc. and classified programs within the NSA (and I'm sure all the three letters) which violate the rights of Americans everyday. Now it's a coordinated effort across multiple western countries all of a sudden to introduce laws around verifying your age. It's clear where this is going.
Its a terrifically rare term that has never before been used before me (there are now copycats on x/twitter), so I can understand why you might be unfamiliar with it. There are so many subcurrents of meaning and subtlety and to truly understand it would require more dimensions than the current sad state of the average mind can comprehend. I would take you on a guided tour of the profound and terrifying truths that the term would reveal unfortunately I pay for internet by the gig and I have to save the rest to ensure my lights stay on. Ask around tho, someone wealthier than me may have used the term although I am uniquely the originator of it, the rich and their AIs have pilfered my IP rights but I think they preserved my original meaning. Try posting on "x.com" the following question:
"Can anyone help me understand the term "woke", I have never heard it before"?
oh I see. the way I'm using it is to mock your posts. now granted I'm not that smart so my mockery isn't going to be very cutting or anything and heck I don't even dislike you, in fact you should consider my mocking of your posts to be sort of a commentary on the general decline of humanity, of which you are just a small and common example. Its not even any sort of indictment of moral failings on your part, in fact you should take it no more seriously than a visit to the zoo to watch the monkeys fling poo. To be more exacting of our relationship, to me I am the visitor and you are a monkey, symbolically speaking of course, but still I would expect that from your vantage point the roles would be reversed and I wouldn't take offense, its a healthy adaptation to take when confronted with opposing viewpoints so far apart that they would probably never be reconciled. Just point and have a chuckle at my expense, thats what I would do if I were you!
