Finally, here is something from the woke culture I can laugh with and not laugh at. This lady is not pushing woke culture on anyone. She is formed by it and living it in the world.

But her animals don't care.

This is as cute as all get out.

LOL...

Every time I click on a link anyone sends, it won't appear. It says it is blocked by Microsoft Edge and it has been doing that for months.

Peter,

You have Bing AI (an AI chat box) right in your browser and you can get easy answers to things like this there. What's more, both Edge and Bing are Microsoft, so they will be talking about their own stuff.

If you have never used AI chat before, here's an example.

I opened Edge (although I use it little). I typed the following into the search bar:

I own a forum called Objectivist Living (https://www.objectivistliving.com/). A member of my forum uses Microsoft Edge. He says he cannot click on links other members post because Microsoft Edge blocks him from going to the link's destination.

Bing AI answered the following:

I'm sorry to hear that your forum member is having trouble with Microsoft Edge. There could be several reasons why Microsoft Edge blocks links from other websites. Here are some possible solutions:

- Check the tracking prevention settings in Microsoft Edge. If they are set to strict, they might block some websites that use tracking cookies or scripts. You can change them to balanced or off by following these steps:
    - Click on the three dots menu button at the top right corner of your browser.
    - Click on Settings.
    - Click on Privacy, search, and services.
    - Under Tracking prevention, select Balanced or Off.

- Check the pop-up and redirect settings in Microsoft Edge. If they are turned on, they might block some websites that use pop-ups or redirects. You can turn them off by following these steps:
    - Click on the three dots menu button at the top right corner of your browser.
    - Click on Settings.
    - Click on Cookies and site permissions.
    - Under All permissions, select Pop-ups and redirects.
    - Turn off the Block (recommended) toggle.

- Check the extensions installed in Microsoft Edge. Some extensions might interfere with the loading of certain websites or cause conflicts with other extensions. You can disable them one by one to see which one is causing the problem by following these steps:
    - Click on the three dots menu button at the top right corner of your browser.
    - Click on Extensions.
    - Select Manage extension, then turn each extension off.
    - If pop-ups are now being blocked, turn on extensions one at a time to determine which one is causing the issue.

I hope this helps you resolve your issue. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask me 😊

 

Bing also supplied two different articles. Since you cannot use hyperlinks in Edge right now, I will give you the raw code of the URLs below and you will have to copy/paste them into a new tab on Edge.

To open a new tab, go to the very top and click on the + sign. Here is what that looks like.

Microsoft Edge Blocked a Website

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftedge/forum/all/microsoft-edge-blocked-a-website/2f636255-4364-448b-9d2c-e33627b24746

and

Block pop-ups in Microsoft Edge

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/block-pop-ups-in-microsoft-edge-1d8ba4f8-f385-9a0b-e944-aa47339b6bb5

 

If you have been unable to see the videos, articles and sites others and I have linked to here on OL, that definitely would interfere with your forum experience.

:) 

Let's get this problem resolved.

 

Edge is a good browser, but you need to get the settings right. However, if you let it, Microsoft likes to think for you and let you see only what it believes is good for you and censors what you can see, since, to the brass at Microsoft, you are incapable of thinking for yourself. :)  

Try these solutions. If they don't work, we can try something else.

Elon Musk just told Italy to please not import the Woke Mind Virus.

You can go here to see the post on X,

Quoting from the X post, Elon said:

“In my view, it amplifies racism, amplifies, sexism and all the isms. And while claiming to do the opposite, it actually divides people and makes them, sort of hate each other, and it makes people hate themselves.”

Be careful with this particular woke snack.

It starts sweet and funny, but then it changes.

Granted, the lady is a dumbass and needs to be mocked, but if you chew too hard on this one, you will end up like Lara and start to pity her, and then it breaks your heart.

Lara is right to ask: What have we done? Except I do not ask about WE. I ask what have THEY done? I did not do anything.

When the woke generation was in school, I didn't even know it was possible to engineer young ladies like the following, and even if I imagined knew it was possible, I would never have believed anyone would want to.

Why would anyone want make a young person so mentally handicapped and emotionally lame?

Argh... Now I'm going down the rabbit hole...

It seems on the face of it that she realized she could not define the term she used as an accusation , but the saddest part is to see her self-accepted powerlessness. Asking/begging to be 'allowed' to leave a voluntary setting, this poor girl doesn't stand a chance.

I normally don't like to mess with the black and white racism thing because I know it's pre-engineered bullshit. And I either get to talk to bots or zombies.

But once in a while something comes along that is like a breath of fresh air.

This clip has it all.

LOLOL...

Priceless.

This isn't a woke snack.

It's a woke meal.

 

To repeat what Trump said when the weird soccer lady tanked, "Everything woke turns to shit."

What drugs have the Sports Illustrated people been using these days? 

btw - To the people at Sports Illustrated: Psssssst... There is a context where you can put pictures of fat people in a magazine devoted to sports excellence. It is a "before" picture of a before-and-after weight loss ad. Or when a fat-ass billionaire funds sports.

Woke snacks is the title of this thread.

Well, you better bring a lot more appetite for this one.

(Hat tip to Rich Engle.)

 

Warning.

Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

 

 

 

 

 

Wait for it...

 

 

 

 

 

It's coming...

 

 

 

 

 

Are you ready?

 

 

 

 

 

Tadaa!

This post is not humorous. Instead it is one of the best descriptions of woke I have ever come across. The following 2021 article by Bari Weiss is so accurate I want it here.

(Ignore the added part about Candace Owens--the "batshit" comment. That came along for the ride and I can't get rid of it.)

WWW.COMMENTARY.ORG

A lot of people want to convince you that you need a Ph.D. or a law degree or dozens of hours of free time to read dense texts about critical theory to understand the woke movement and its world...

 

I was pointed to this article by an X post by Glenn Greenwald. He excerpted a part in an image and I wanted it in text form. So I dug.

 

Below, I paraphrase the excerpt (and one more paragraph), but I also use some of Weiss's own words:

The basic beliefs of woke people as indoctrinated are as follows.

1. The forces of justice and progress are at war with backwardness and tyranny.

2. In this war, the normal rules of the game are suspended because they are obstacles to justice and tools of oppression. They are the master’s tools.  And the master’s tools cannot dismantle the master’s house.

3. The rules are replaced and repudiated.

4. Persuasion—the purpose of argument—is replaced with public shaming.

5, Moral complexity is replaced with moral certainty.

6. Facts are replaced with feelings.

7. Ideas are replaced with identity.

8. Forgiveness is replaced with punishment.

9. Debate is replaced with de-platforming.

10. Diversity is replaced with homogeneity of thought.

11. Inclusion is replaced with exclusion.

12. Speech is violence. But violence carried out by the right people for a just cause is not violence.

13. Bullying is wrong, but bullying the right people is good.

14. Education is not about how to think, it’s about reeducating people in what to think.

15. The need to feel safe trumps the need to speak truthfully. 

Does that sound like woke to you?

It sure does to me.

Just look around for the last few years.

(Don't look too hard, though. It also describes how the Objectivists who are dogmatic behave.)

 

This is a formula for Ayn Rand's notion of the "anticonceptual mind."

Cringe throughout the generations, starting before Boomers and going on up to woke.

I don't believe I once bought a pet rock.

I don't believe I used to wear bell-bottoms.

I don't believe I had a mullet haircut.

I don't believe I was goth.

I don't believe I went nuts over Y2K.

I don't believe I used to horse-dance Gangnam-style. 

I don't believe I cut my dick off.

These two "women" are going to fight each other in the Olympics after they beat all the real women.

The X post was deleted after I embedded it here. The poster deleted it, so there is likely wrong information about the championship.

But I got a screenshot since I had not closed the X feed when I detected the deletion here on OL. And I am posting that screenshot here.

Even though this is likely incorrect, the point is the same. And this dramatizes the point well.

I stand in awe at the vastness of the social stupidity that allows this to happen.

So, woke people.

How do like the progress of women's rights these days?

What a boomerang for feminist activism to end at.

Knocked out by their own political crusade.

Everything woke turns to shit.

Macron's likely very proud of this...

 

 

and his husband is too.
