Depending on the season, I talking about regular summer or winter blend diesel. You know, the kind you run in heavy equipment

How many times does it need repeating? The mask is to stop you infecting other people, not to stop you getting it.

I think at least one more time. LOL
However, I do believe that wearing a mask is in teh right direction to prevent you from getting it also. Not 100% effective in any way, but maybe it is 5% (or 10%), etc. I think of it kind of like having a screen on your windows. Will it stop every bug? No, but it will stop some. Not perfect, but in the right direction.

cnn, indisputable
But the benefits go both ways. "We know now there's scientific evidence that masks both keep you from infecting others but may also partially protect you from getting infected," said Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus task force coordinator. "I think that's a new discovery and a new finding."

I'll bet that Karen thinks she's too cool to be a Karen.

When you say she’s a ‘Karen’ what do you mean by that?

The insult reminded me of something a cool girl in high school or college might say to sick-burn someone, and so I assumed the tweeter had been such a girl, and further that she's maintained that identity into her adulthood, and probably feels herself separate from the Karens that everybody makes fun of. And I further extrapolated that she's probably a pretty decent dead center Karen as far as the common usage goes.

I thought the standard usage was for a middle aged, reasonably well off white woman expressing entitlement. Like soccer mom or college mom, not a young girl like this.
It’s true there are people who use it to express animus toward white women in general or white women they disagree with, but I didn’t expect you to be among them, hence the question.

wrote on 4 Jul 2020, 16:17 last edited by@jon-nyc I think it's interesting to consider the number of Karens close enough to the center of the definition to at least get some splash damage, who are part of the culture that gave rise to and encourages the hatred and racism behind the concept of a Karen.
