I'm interested in learning which fridge is the best for garage use, but I'm scared to click on a bot link.

I think he was on topic because, clearly the garage fridge is for stashing the bodies of the Karens for later feeding to the internet trolls who live across the lake in the tall prairie grass restoration zone.

Are you questioning my infallible moderating?

Not at all. Your work is the Platonic form of the Greek ideal of moderation.

I'd probably be considered a Karen for doing anything, but I'm fing tired of taking my little dog for his nightly walk and having him attacked by some other dog (usually huge) that isn't on a leash, and his owner stands 200 feet away and just yells for the dog to come back. When dogs are in that mode, they listen like a three year old. Anyway, I'm going to start kicking heads soon. Dog's heads I mean. If that doesn't work, maybe the owner's heads.

Dogs are amazing. They make people happier and healthier and generally better people. But dog parents, and I don't love that term, are a lot.

When I'm old and people are trying to enroll their corgis in public kindergarten, I'm going full Karen and hell's coming with me. And I'll be whatever cancelled looks like then.

I will admit that when I first saw this tread title, I thought we were gonna discuss this group of people:
The Karen[a] (/kəˈrɛn/ (listen) kə-REN), also known as the Kayin, Kariang or Kawthoolese, are an ethnolinguistic group of Sino-Tibetan language–speaking peoples. The group as a whole is heterogeneous and disparate as many Karen ethnic groups do not associate or identify with each other culturally or linguistically. These Karen groups reside primarily in Kayin State, southern and southeastern Myanmar. The Karen, approximately five million people, account for approximately seven percent of the Burmese population.[9] Many Karen have migrated to Thailand, having settled mostly on the Myanmar–Thailand border. A few Karen have settled in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, and other Southeast Asian and East Asian countries.
The reason I thought this is that in a town I lived in for twenty years, there was quite the influx of Karens. I had never heard of them, but I am quite familiar with them now.

Don't even get me started on off-leash dog people. They are the worst.
