Lately, the idea of a Karen has been floating around the web. What is a Karen? The consensus seems to a a late 30s or 40s woman who likes to throw her weight around (in a semi-ladylike (or maybe SIW) manner). The classic Karen move is to be in a restaurant and demand to see the manager because of whatever reason. It is not so much about there being a problem, but more to show that she is somebody to be reckoned with, that she knows what she is doing, and furthermore, she has high standards. It doesn’t need to be a manager that a Karen tells off; it can be anybody. All one needs to do is be a useful other in order for a Karen to pounce.
So how do Karens form? By the late 30s, they have gathered lots of social experience. Being a young women, being the thing that everybody desires, allows them to build up lots of experience and social skills, even if they are not looking for them. Furthermore, many of these skills involve manipulation. Suddenly, their physical attractiveness wanes; they like the attention, so what could they do? One answer is obvious: up their Karen game. They can go high-brow and righteous;, putting on a good show. What is not to like?
So is there a problem? I might suggest that there are many. One big one is that Karens often don’t have much idea of how the real world works. They don’t understand the compromises that people must make to get on with life, what work and struggle really is, having to figure your what needs to be done and making it happen, etc. Untethered righteousness just does not work well in such a world. People rather look down on it. Of course, the Karen’s audience is normally just as clueless about the real world as they are, so they eat it all up. Everybody else, not so much. So, surprised the Karens are.

Karen is a somewhat popular name among females of my generation (Xers), which fits the age range. However, all the Karens I have known were much more feminine (humble and submissive) than average. Maybe too submissive, because they didn’t know how to say no when necessary. Although it does seem to fit, I find it regrettable that this stereotype has adopted this label. I feel sorry for those nice Karens who aren’t like the memeworthy Karens. Poor Karen.

Karens have some decidedly masculine traits… Short hair, expect to be able to exercise authority over other people, aggressive and confrontational, demanding… Some of the Karen traits are really a mockery of true masculinity, e.g. making unreasonable and irrational demands on others time and property, being abusive to those who are less powerful, etc. Karen seems to be jealous that she’s aged out, men are ignoring her, and tries to morph herself into what she thinks a man should be.

I worked with a Karen named Karen for about a year.

She told me that all of them had left home and none of them would speak to her… She had talked to none of them in over a year. Sometimes even the wicked get worse than they deserve.

There are Karens all over the place. The most tiresome of all IMO are the Kiwi Karens. They include PPPs of yesteryear – retired PPPs striving to put their personal histories behind them. They have discontinued their drunken displays in public but in private their lewd promiscuity lurks just below the surface.
Some Karens have never been PPPs as such.
PPPs or not, all Kiwi Karens are Princesses with a capital P. They all turn on a performance when they are complaining or otherwise holding society to ransom. They are haughty, superior, insistent.
Karens worldwide are like that I guess. The feature of Kiwi Karens that makes them particularly annoying is the poncy faux upper-class English accent they put on when performing. The accent does not exist in England today and probably never did. Its pathetic.
A typical Karen trick is to demand an answer e.g. “I don’t think this is an acceptable quality of service, do you?”
The way to squash them is to copy their accent back at them e.g. “Madam, I don’t think your performance is an acceptable standard of behaviour, do you?”

Some perspective
Comment in https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-canadas-immunity-task-force-takes-aim-at-pressing-covid-19-questions
“Furthermore, from the April 28, Dr. Tam [Canada’s Chief Medical Officer] modelling briefing, we know where to focus our resources in the event of a resurgence: the elderly (95% of deaths) and those with underlying health conditions (74% of hospitalizations).
Or to put things another way, of the 2,561 deaths by April 28, only about 128 were from the under 60 crowd, from which we can infer that about 34 did not have underlying health conditions.
And to put things in perspective, here is a quote from the Environment Canada website: “between 100 and 150 people are injured each year by lightning in Canada”.
So a young, healthy person is four times LESS likely to die from Covid than they are of being struck by lightning.”
Math is a little off. 34 in 2 months is 204 deaths per year.
Or 1 1\3 times more than being struck by lightning!!!
So we did all this to protect us from the threat of lightning???

Karen’s, like any bully, are just trying to force their wants or opinions when they lack confidence or authority to be listened to. A side benefit is the attention even if it is bad attention.
The obvious answer is ignoring them.

“Mame, if you want to take your business elsewhere, please go ahead”
Mame, if you don’t like how we do it, do it yourself”
And in all three cases walk away.

For an array of major institutions throughout American civic life, there will be two camps: the smaller will be the ones who decoupled themselves from the People’s Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party as soon as possible; and the larger will be those who, as events unfold, will wish they had. The former will feature an outsized number of manufacturing and wares firms with supply-chain and logistical concerns. The latter will disproportionately feature American institutions of higher education, for reasons varying from the material (addiction to PRC-student money and PRC-adjacent funding) to the ideological (affinity for Communism, progressive antipathy toward the United States).
In the middle will be entertainment: the NBA and the left-wing athleisure class confronted with the reality that America is in fact the greater good; and Hollywood, stripped of its dreams of one billion theatergoers. Their US-side audiences, always their most lucrative core and also always well to their right, will pull them back. With the new Top Gun delayed to Christmas, there’s still time to get that Taiwanese flag back on Maverick’s jacket.

Just real quick… something my former Bible teacher just said about the work environment for people in his position (he was the BEST Bible teacher at our Christian school… had 8 years of studying Greek, lots of incredible arguments to link the Old and New Testament, had us writing essays that were above and beyond anything I ever understood before… Now he’s a Professor at different schools, and sometimes works for the charters/private schools around. Love this man) —
“Interesting times. God is good! I have lost contact with a former teacher who was struggling to find a teaching position. He is published, highly regarded and has a PhD in Philosophy. He has also organized meetings and chaired discussions. I am very concerned for him. I know that God will take care of him. I am thankful to the Lord for the adjunct positions that I have since without them I would be struggling. But I am surprised at the near hostility that I have received even applying for positions. My friend (the last contact I had with him) said that he had the same kind of experience. He had applied to somewhere around 50 positions this time around. He had an interview in “corporate” that following Friday. Today I received a terse response to a job application that I sent in for a local charter school (classical model). I actually know the person (to a limited extent) and thought I was on good terms with him. But from my perspective, God is good and it is a good thing to not work in that situation. Teaching is a life of service in which I am most privileged to partake. But I know, just like the symphony auditions, one wins and the rest go home. Most of the applicants or those auditioning play the excerpts to near perfection; the differences between the players are often highly subjective and ornate. But if you love it, and you feel that God has given you the joy to keep fighting to serve regardless of the responses, then the consistent rejection is a part of the process and journey. Truthfully, I am more happy now teaching where I am than at any time in my career. I was surprised to hear from some of my students that many of their classes have not met virtually and most have broken down. We still meet on our scheduled times! Today, I had a student ask me about doing philosophy as a career. He is perhaps the strongest student I have ever had. The class is an introduction to philosophy and he has been talking (in the class discussions) about his readings in nominalism and micro vs macro physicalism. Very cool. Discussions like that are very rewarding. It is really cool to encourage these students.”

The consensus seems to a a late 30s or 40s woman who likes to throw her weight around (in a semi-ladylike (or maybe SIW) manner). The classic Karen move is to be in a restaurant and demand to see the manager because of whatever reason. It is not so much about there being a problem, but more to show that she is somebody to be reckoned with, they she knows what she is doing, and furthermore, she has high standards. It doesn’t need to be a manager that a Karen tells off; it can be anybody.
The quintessential Karen is white, middle class to upper middle class, has children, and works full time. Marital status is either married to a beta bux, or divorced. Wears the pants in the family, has pretty much subjugated her husband if she’s married, or is getting hefty child support from her ex husband. Volunteers with the PTA, might be a Junior Leaguer. Outspoken politically. Doesn’t matter her ideology; what matters is her being outspoken about it. There are plenty of Berniebot Karens and plenty of Trumpkin Karens. Wants to rule everything and run everything wherever she is. Karen knows best.
Karen has to have all 4 of those first characteristics. Karen is always white, at least middle class, is a mom, and employed full time. Think 1990s/Clinton era “soccer mom”.

The show recently ended its two-year run after Kate and her hubby split. TLC had originally schemed to drop Jon and relaunch the show as “Kate Plus 8.” Those plans were nixed after Jon objected to his eight children appearing on television – claiming that he had an “epiphany” about the “exploitation.”
But Kate tells Walters that Jon ended the show out of spite and “because he could.”
“Unless you live in my house and see how everything that we have done with the show has been such a great experience, you can’t speak,” she said.
Uh, Karen, I mean Kate, John was married to you, lived in the house with you and was on the show with you and the kids…

Becky might or might not be a Karen. It’s probably safe to say most Karens are Beckies, but not all Beckies are Karens.
I always thought Becky was in the female sociosexual hierarchy. In descending order of attractiveness: Stacy, Becky, Jane, Martha.
Stacy: Prom queen, homecoming queen, cheerleader, popular girl, very physically attractive, very popular. Dates/fucks the hottest, most attractive men. Stacy is nice, usually, but not as nice as Jane. There are more Stacies than most people think. Stacy is around 25% of women.
Becky: Basic bitch. More attractive than Jane, not as attractive as Stacy. She wants to be a Stacy, but is well aware that she is not because everyone, men and women, remind her that she’s not. Has one major physical flaw or shortcoming that prevents her from being a Stacy, and is more than a little salty about it. Dates the men Stacy rejected or cast off. If she gets fat she’ll be downgraded to Jane.
Becky has the meanest, bitchiest disposition of the four, mostly because she can be and can get away with it. Has been pumped and dumped at least a couple of times, and is kind of used to it. Becky is the type of woman most described at manosphere sites. Most men showing up at the manosphere have had run ins with or been married to Beckies who dead bedroomed them or divorce raped them.
Jane: The average woman. Most women are Jane. Has at least two glaring physical shortcomings that prevent her from making it to Becky status. A lot of Janes can become Beckies if they work on their physical appearance. But about half of Janes cannot and are resigned to that. Jane is the nicest and has the most agreeable disposition of the four. She is girlfriend material. She dates average guys and guys looking to get married soon. Contrary to popular belief, Jane does quite well attracting men, but cannot attract the most attractive men for anything other than casual sex. Jane is the most susceptible to pump and dumps.
Martha: The unattractive woman. There are not very many Marthas, maybe 10 to 20% of all women. Has one or more of the following: Robust or masculine facial features, unattractive face, morbid obesity, a chronic debilitating medical condition like rheumatoid arthritis. Truly unfortunate women.

The report states that Brennan overruled agency analysts who wanted to include strong intelligence in the assessment to show that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted Hillary Clinton to win the election, Fleitz says, citing conversations with House Intelligence Committee staffers. Brennan had also rejected analysts who wanted to strike weak intelligence from the report which suggested that Russia favored Trump, Fleitz said.
“So Brennan actually slanted this analysis, choosing anti-Trump intelligence and excluding anti-Clinton intelligence,”

I won’t disagree with your definitions, but I am gonna disagree on the numbers.
“Stacy: Prom queen, homecoming queen, cheerleader, popular girl, very physically attractive, very popular. … There are more Stacies than most people think. Stacy is around 25% of women.”
Not ’round these parts. Stacies make up 5% at best, and the even more rare Stacey’s Mom, around 0.5%.
Only 1 girl is prom queen, and I think in many locales she has no real competition; she’s a Stacy’s Mom. Only 8-12 girls are varsity cheerleaders at your high school and maybe half or less are Stacy-level attractive. The rest are Beckies. Maybe a Jane or two at the bottom of the pyramid.
I’ve met a lot of Jane-level attractive Karens in my day. I would say the percentage of Karens in both Becky and Jane cohorts is about the same.

A report that was presented by Chinese intelligence to top leaders in Beijing a month ago reportedly warned that the fallout from China’s scandalous handling of the coronavirus pandemic, which originated in China, was so bad that China needed to be prepared for an armed confrontation with the United States.

His observation is a simple one: that in outbreak after outbreak of this disease, a similar mathematical pattern is observable regardless of government interventions. After around a two week exponential growth of cases (and, subsequently, deaths) some kind of break kicks in, and growth starts slowing down. The curve quickly becomes “sub-exponential”.
This may seem like a technical distinction, but its implications are profound. The ‘unmitigated’ scenarios modelled by (among others) Imperial College, and which tilted governments across the world into drastic action, relied on a presumption of continued exponential growth — that with a consistent R number of significantly above 1 and a consistent death rate, very quickly the majority of the population would be infected and huge numbers of deaths would be recorded. But Professor Levitt’s point is that that hasn’t actually happened anywhere, even in countries that have been relatively lax in their responses.

Our sister nuclear plant (the only AP1000 being built in the USofA has hired many without an ounce of experience (just the 2 year degree). So with just a degree .. they get fast tracked with an experienced journeyman to journeyman.
Tons of contract work iv you want it. Tons of jobs demanding varying levels of experience. Lots of jobs just asking for a degree in electronics or I&C.

I have a 4 year degree (in advance science and math) and it has been a waste. Even though it was free to me (i.e. Scholarship). It only took 2.5 years to complete.
