Is this one of the 7?

There’s a sail on all GOG games right now, 100% off, including this one.

UniGet supports WinGet, Chocolatey, Scoop, Rust, .Net, Powershell, NPM, Python all in one UI. Can install from any of them, searching gives you a choice. Can have different versions of software if desired. Binaries or building and installing. Backs up the programs list to easily get everything back even from a new clean install.

Definitely still replace windows where possible, but if stuck on it for work or something, there’s an open source windows package manager called UniGet that updates everything in one place like a Linux package manager. Makes it a much better experience, and you can search and install from the package manager instead of hunting websites.

Not everyone can pull it off like Mao.
Even the otter in the background is ‘mirin.

The article is trash and muddies the details. They were walking home from the store. Kids that age certainly are going to not want to be grocery shopping with their mom for long. One of the boys wasn’t hit, he was on the phone with the father who heard the whole incident.

The parents being a black dad and white mom probably has a lot to do with the charges in a state where anti miscegenation laws prevented interracial marriage until 1977. The driver and the police chief were alive and experienced relationships like this as illegal.

The NSW fly and its larvae are flesh-eating parasites that pose a significant threat to warm-blooded animals.

“This is not just a cattle issue,” Woodall says. “This could be dogs. This can be cats. It can get into people. So, anything that is warm blooded could be a host for this flesh-eating parasite.”

Covid and birdflu weren’t enough, the great satan must also incubate and export flesh-eating parasites.

The One Big Beautiful Bill.

Three days before Park arrived at Bartkus's house, records from an AI chat application show that Bartkus researched how to make powerful explosions using ammonium nitrate

They got Park’s e-mail and reddit account and the bomber’s public ChatGPT.

Absolute amateur hour. Secure e-mail. Don’t post publically about doing a bombing. If you’re going to make the mistake of an LLM about the chemistry of bomb-making at the very least run a local model on an encrypted drive.

Original is imprecise.

For most people, including many in the thread, the owl that posts about this occasionally, myself, we hadn’t heard of it until the spike in the graph, so that is the “origin” even if not chronologically first.

The spike is the popular origin people are referring to saying it has lost the “original” meaning since. Saying that the “original” was earlier isn’t so much a ‘dispute’ as a reframing of context. Neither is necessarily more valid until the priority of time vs spread is declared.

The origin is both anti-racist and predates the anti-racist meaning depending on context. Many point to the spike, but pointing to the clock blips is also correct.

Tough talk coming from somebird who can’t tell me what’s in this picture.

People were absolutely using “Karen” amongst a few other names for the entitled white woman stereotype, but the catalyst for standardising “Karen” was specifically about the racist Central Park Karen video viral. Around that time and George Floyd and BLM summer riots. The peak “Karen” was about BLM against racist white women. And it has since been watered down like a lot of the energy of the summer of 2020.

As this graph shows, “Karen haircut” peaked during the 2020 summer of BLM.

Various names have been used as ‘white women calling cops on black people nicknames’.

• 2018 BBQ Becky - YouTuber posted a video entitled “White Woman Called Out for Racially Targeting Black Men Having BBQ in Oakland”.
• 2018 Permit Patty - Oakland, California woman called the police on an eight-year-old black girl and her mother for selling water outside her apartment. Her profession as the CEO of a medicinal marijuana company for animals was pointed at as illustrative of the difference between being white and black in America.
• 2018 Pool Patrol Paula - Arrested for accosting a group of black teenagers while trying to forcibly remove them from a public swimming pool in South Carolina.
• 2018 Baggage Claim - A female baggage claim attendant who was filmed refusing a black woman the name and contact of a manager, after the attempted to report a customer service issue at Logan International Airport in Boston.
• 2018 Cornerstore Caroline - A female resident of Brooklyn, New York, who became the subject of a online scutiny, after accusing a nine-year old black child of sexual assault and calling the police on him. The allegations were later refuted by surveillance footage of the incident.
• 2018 Golf Cart Gail - A white woman who was the subject of controversy, after calling the police on a black father watching his son's soccer game.

6 major incidents in 2018 alone. But a 2020 viral incident that got ‘Karen’ to stick.

• 2020 Central Park Karen - The incident that led to the internet coming to a consensus, much to the chagrin of nice women named Karen everywhere. "Central Park Karen" is the white cop-caller nickname of Amy Cooper, who was recorded calling the police on an African American birder in Central Park in New York City after being asked by him to leash her dog in the park.
• later in 2020 San Francisco Karen - A white man and woman confronted a person of color who was stenciling Black Lives Matter in chalk on their own property. In the video, the woman, Lisa Alexander, assumed James Juanillo was not the property owner and called the police.

  A white couple call the police on me, a person of color, for stencilling a #BLM chalk message on my own front retaining wall. “Karen” lies and says she knows that I don’t live in my own house, because she knows the person who lives here.

Since then it’s been almost entirely “Karen” and like “woke” and so many other appropriations of Black culture, has been taken from original anti-racist meaning to just be another misogynistic term for “disliked woman” or “man acting like an entitled woman”.
