25% business and product roadmapping, 15% discovery, 10% coding, 15% unit testing/debugging/refactoring, 25% scrum/huddle/other useless meetings, 10% answering stupid questions at the 11th hour about why we need this feature that they asked for.

[Karen] is pejorative.

No shit, Sherlock. It's an insult. Insults are pejorative. That's literally the point. It doesn't make it a slur, though. Slurs are about insulting someone for their genetic attributes, like their race or sex, or their sexuality, their nationality, or their religious or cultural identity, i.e. things that are inherent and largely unchosen about their identity. Slurs are not critiques for behaviors. "Asshole", "Fascist", "Bigot", and "Karen" are insults that are about behaviors, specifically about treating others without respect, equality, or basic human decency.

"Karen" is an insult for someone who acts entitled and who treats service workers poorly or sticks their nose into others' business and tries to police their behavior. The fact of the matter is that the majority of people that are that entitled and behave that way (in the US at least) are middle aged or elderly white women, which is where the name came from. But the term is not about insulting someone for being a middle aged or elderly white woman, is it? It's about their behavior. Older white women aren't the only ones that can be Karens, and most older white women do not behave like Karens.

If you cannot see the difference between insulting things you do vs things you are, you are probably very familiar with actual slurs.

He finally defeated this evil man... after he rose to being the fucking pope, led the church for 12 years, and died at a ripe 88 years old...

Idk, I feel like God didn't do much at all. But if he's striking down evil, I'd get to painting your door in sheep's blood real quick, Marge.

First of all, fuck you, figure it out. Second of all, if that were the case, that means you are literally sentencing people to life imprisonment without chance of parole with absolutely no due process at all. That goes even beyond what the (unconstitutional) Alien Enemies Act allows. Far beyond. For the love of God, make this shit stop.

I can't wait until Trump pisses off the world enough that they fight back and he is eventually tried for his crimes against humanity. I can't wait to shit on your grave you evil fuck.

Admission that the only thing that would keep him in the bounds of his actual legal authority is the threat of criminal charges for misusing it.

Option 3 means that the Javascript standards team dies either way, right? Number 3. No hesitation.

Dude went to see Barbie a second time to seethe about feminism. Entirely missed Openheimer. "Too long, too sciency."

And legalizing marriage to minors. And outlawing comprehensive sexual education.

This is from the last election in 2020. How fun that it's still relevant!

People getting covid vaccines and wearing face masks were living in fear. Man standing behind bullet proof glass? Brave. Strong. Manly.

Who ever thought punk was not progressive? At minimum it was blatantly anti-authoritarian and counter to the conservative culture in Thatcher's UK and Reagan's US. Why would anyone be shocked to find out that it was also pro-choice, feminist, and anti-discriminatory?

Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government.

Let it be know that if you take office while actively committing fraud, embezzlement, and lying through your teeth about nearly every single detail of your life and accomplishments, the rest of Congress will ONLY let that slide for 11 months! You've been warned!
