NCAA tournament games tonight.

Florida vs Michigan ( hopefully a meteor hits)
Alabama vs BYU. I'm picking the Mormons
Texas Tech vs Arkansas. I'm riding with the Red Raiders.
Arizona vs Duke. Really don't care which team wins this game. Just going watch to see Cooper Flagg play.

My wife always says I’m not spontaneous or creative—unless it involves terrible jokes. So, I decided to prove her wrong and got my first tattoo. Since I’m not very creative, I just had them tattoo a picture of my thermos from work. I got home, all excited, and showed my wife. She stared at it, completely confused. After a while, she reached out to touch it, and I immediately yelled, “Don’t touch the thermos tat!”…She might be leaving me now.

You're way overthinking it lol. These Karens are not clever and conniving social masterminds who are intentionally gaming the system. They don't "know how to play the game." They're just entitled jerks who throw a fit in any situation where they don't get their way, and in some cases businesses acquiesce just to avoid the hassle of fighting with them.

Not overthinking it, this is the research. Probably about a decade old now, vague memory reading about it.

That said, we're talking 2 slightly different concepts and that's my bad for muddling.

1) Middle class kids are more often taught negotating skills at home, which then transfer to the real world as adults. This is where you get a class of folks that understand the game at hand and that rules aren't always definitive.

Otoh lower economic status children are more likely to be taught that "rules are rules" and to be obedient, rather than negotiating or being confrontational.


2) Yes, true and udder Karens are not clever. They just feel undeservingly entitled. That said, they did learn the game...unfortunately they took it to a stupid level that marginalizes other people. In fact, they became so bad at it, they became completely transparent to society as a whole.
