Just for the record: in the comments section of a post about a news article in a news community, you described a story about how you read what the lead says when you took a quick glance at the article.
We’re talking about an “article” that is shown as a “2 minute read”, and takes about 30 seconds to read.
Fun fact: the demographic in which Trump gained the most before the 2024 election was “people who don’t read news daily”.

Your example sentence simply uses the english verb “wake” in its original meaning.

Not the adjective “woke” that this thread is about.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woke
By 2019, the term was widely being used sarcastically as a pejorative by conservatives, as a way to disparage socially liberal movements as superficial and insincere performative activism.

I’d like to remind you that we’re in a drought, please limit your shower time.
The way it’s worded, we can’t exclude that the dude dropped his own 30, and because the cash touched the floor for over 5 seconds, it became stolen cash once he picked it up.

Washing face after going outside, keeping the house clean, and using an air purifier help a bit when at home.
Ok many comments bash OP for the word choice “prudish” to point out this is a bad faith troll. I would also point out the issue with “hate sex”. There are people who are not prudish at all, and love sex, and still don’t want to see lewd things. Famously, arousal reduces thresholds for feeling disgust. I would argue that it is quite normal for humans to see overly revealing images of most bodies off putting, unless in an actual sexual situation. Then, there are people, I would be fine calling them prudish in the lack of a better term, as shyness kind of undersells this, who really don’t want to see, hear, talk about, or even mention sex. Someone like that can still really like sex- doing it, not talking about it. So “hate sex” is not the same as “don’t want to see explicit porn all the time everywhere”.

But these are not ideologies, they’re made up derogatory terms. It’s like asking what is the difference between a fuckwit and a dickwad.
Who needs to stop taking themselves so seriously?
