    The first thing that came to your mind was a dick? Really?

            Again, if we are to be honest, you are the one who initiated the phrase "small package".
            Rest assured, this will be my final comment on this topic. You can rant and rave all you want, I will not reply.
            ​​​​​Enjoy
            What do you know about truth. Your head is so far up your butt you won't know the truth if hit you, backed up and ran over you again.
            You think if you repeat something often enough it will become true.
            Your obsession with my "small package" makes you appear to be the stereotypical far leftist nutjob or some sex pervert.
            Would you like a picture of it so you stare at it all day and get your rocks off?

            You keep saying this will be your final comment, I will believe that when I see it.
            You appear to be the type that always has to have the final word.
            I have plenty of spare time to do this.

            Continue to delude yourself in believing you are right and I will just continue to sit here and laugh at you.
            People like you have convinced yourself that you are always right and will never accept anything that goes against your narrative.
            Enjoy living in your bubble, maybe one you will get your head out of your butt and see the world for how it's really is.

              Another one bites the dust. America is back.


              The University of Michigan is the latest public university to dismantle its Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) as part of its faculty requirements, making it one of several universities this year to roll back DEI initiatives.

              "The University of Michigan will no longer solicit diversity statements as part of faculty hiring, promotion and tenure," the school said in a news release Thursday.

              University of Michigan Provost Laurie McCauley announced the decision to stop using the diversity statements following an Oct. 31 recommendation from a faculty working group, the university said. The group reportedly criticized the statements "for their potential to limit freedom of expression and diversity of thought on campus."

                The end of wokeness

                Conservative group compiles list of 'woke' senior officers they want Pete Hegseth to fire

                The American Accountability Foundation says the 'woke takeover' of the military is a major threat to our national security



                As Pete Hegseth continues to rally support for his nomination to lead the Department of Defense, a conservative research group has compiled a list of "woke" senior officers they want him to sack should he be confirmed to lead the Pentagon.

                In a letter obtained by Fox News Digital, the American Accountability Foundation (AAF) sent a letter to Hegseth with a list of 20 general officers or senior admirals whom it says are excessively focused on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and other similar left-wing initiatives. Eight of those 20 are women.

                Those on the list in many cases seem to be targeted for public comments they made either in interviews or at events on diversity, and in some cases for retweeting posts that promote diversity. AAF says that focusing on such policies is an impediment to national security, while some miliary leaders have expressed concern about the list.​


                "The woke takeover of the military is a major threat to our national security," AAF President Thomas Jones wrote in the letter to Hegseth dated Tuesday and first published by the New York Post.

                "As global tensions rise, with Iran on the march, Russia at war, and China in the midst of a massive military buildup, we cannot afford to have a military distracted and demoralized by leftist ideology," he added. "Those who were responsible for these policies being instituted in the first place must be dismissed."

                The term "woke" is often used in reference to progressive, politically correct stances on race, gender ideology and other hot-button topics.

                The group posted on X that the woke leaders need to be fired on day one. "Wokeness has no place in the military," the group wrote.

                On Friday, the AAF doubled down on its position.

                "Many don't want to hear this, but it's the truth: DEI in the military is going to get people killed. STOP IT NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE," AAF posted on X.

                ​

                      Let me help with the actual definition of woke.

                      aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)

                      Very scary, right. Hahaha
                      I swear, magatrons must be scared of their own shadows.

                        You're so ignorant in an attempt to prove someone wrong. Sigh.


                        Words evolve through a natural process called linguistic evolution, which is driven by many factors, including:
                        Generational disparities: Languages change as they are passed down from one generation to the next.
                        Migration: Languages shift as cultures interact and trade.
                        Technology breakthroughs: New technologies can influence language evolution.
                        Cultural exchanges: Languages adapt to the changing needs and settings of their speakers.
                        Borrowing: Languages borrow words from other languages, which are called loanwords.

                          Let me shorten that long winded deflection for you, Skippy.

                          Maga has appropriated a non offensive word and applied their own meaning, which none are able to define, to rile up the non critical thinking masses.

                          That about sums it up.

                            Ever heard someone tell another person that they're "bad"? To the uneducated person like you, you think it means they're not a good person. In reality, it's a compliment.

                              I guess it's a good thing we aren't talking about the word "bad", isn't it Mr Deflection?

                                It's a good thing that we were discussing the evolution of words. Or I was. You're oblivious to the fact that words evolve.,
