The Official Woke Thread

I guess almonds are over (terrible for the environment). I guess people are drinking oat milk or coconut milk instead.

I don't really understand the fake milk stuff. I guess if you're lactose intolerant, you still want something on your cereal so it's not completely dry. But just drinking a glass of soy milk or some shit? I just don't know why anyone would do that.

Meat is murder and dairy is assault. That's why.

I actually use almond milk in a few applications just because I actually like the taste of it more than real milk. When I make steal cut oats I think almond milk works better. I can't stand any of the milk alternatives in coffee or tea. My friend in LA told me some hip woke natural food stores are now selling camel milk. Blech.

So drink water or V8 or something.

Almond (or coconut or oat) milk is NOT milk. It needs to be renamed Almond juice. Just because it's white doesn't make it milk.

What the fuck is wrong with almonds now? They're delicious.

What the fuck is wrong with almonds now? They're delicious.

According to the people in my woke echo chamber the way they are farmed is bad. They have to divert too much water to grow them.

The Key Issues

Commercial almond production in California requires diverting ground and surface waters from the state’s aqueduct system for irrigation. As cited in an article in the New York Times, it takes approximately 15 gallons of water to produce just 16 almonds, making almonds one of the most water-intensive crops in the state. Critics of almond milk’s status as a healthy alternative say that there aren’t enough nutritional benefits to justify the gallons of water necessary to grow almonds.

[steveschneider]

Maybe this will cause deplorables in red states that hate California to eat more almonds.

[Travis of the Cosmos]

Don’t we already have a milk thread or ten on the main board I don’t know why this is political pylon please move

I don't give a fuck about almond milk, but keep your libtard hands off my whole almonds.

This thread isn't about milk it's about woke.

I’m not sure that that word means what you think it means

You know Pantry will lose his shit over this and start calling everyone stupid libs. Thread stays.

Damn it pylon please

Nothing to do with milk.

This shit is getting stupid.

Great addition to the thread. I really think Twitter distorts reality. I think people see this shit on social media, see the outrage and then follow the herd. I really don't see normal adults that don't go on social media getting upset about this shit.

[Travis of the Cosmos]

Does it not also work in the opposite direction steve

[Cameron]

Does it not also work in the opposite direction steve

Opposite direction meaning what? Like a backlash-to-the-outrage type of scenario? Or like outrage in real life that then migrates to social media?

Good question. Regarding any Outrage that starts in the real world and migrates to social media, I'd argue that I haven't seen anything that worked the opposite direction that is on par with the examples provided in that article. I think russian troll farms amplify that shit on Twitter in an effort to make people divisive. I just can't recall any time in the real world where someone goes 'wow, did you see that commercial with two gay dads?'

Meaning that I do not think that you were perusing the bbc’s website when you found that article... now we’re talking about commercials that were banned in Europe and were, for lack of a better word, outraged about it and it’s because of social media just the way steve described. What’s odd is that the article even talks about the reasons the commercials got banned, and that sounds a lot less about social media outrage than the outrage about the outrage is.

I absolutely was browsing BBC News when I came across that article. I have a twitter account, but I almost never look at it. That shit rots your mind, just take a look at poor steve. He's the one who brought social media into this. I just posted the article because it seemed like a sort of "woke" topic.

Okay, that’s fair. I took a leap on an assumption and I fell.

But, the point still stands that lots of times that happens like that. I think that’s also fair to say

I don't disagree. I was simply looking to clarify about the "opposite direction" thing.

[steveschneider]

I'd argue most journalists hang out on twitter and are addicted to it. The main draw to twitter for me initially was to get more news and I followed mostly journalists. I think a lot of them see the twitter outrage have reported on it. Also, we don't know what drove the audience members in that article to complain. I'm spit balling but I'm betting they saw that shit on twitter.

I’m not outraged at all was just making an observation. The only one that seemed outraged was you when we were talking about almond milk.

I can be outraged too. Haven't been outraged for a while now so I'm due to be outraged any day now.
