Were there any stupid conspiracy theories back when 4G was beginning to roll out?

I've met decent Ricks and Riches, and I've even met a few Dicks who weren't actually dicks, but every Richard I've ever met has been an "I demand to speak with the owner" rear end in a top hat who calls waiters "the help". It's the chard, makes em bitter

If you want to see what they looked like, do a find-and-replace on the 5G ones. I'll assume the exact same things happened with the rollout of the original analogue networks, FM radio, and spark gap apparatus, with the only changes being the fonts (to whatever was slightly out-of-date and hard to read by the standards of the time).

I vaguely recall hearing disdainful words about beepers and then cel phones as a kid from That uncle. Not quite in the same lane of conspiracy, but the earliest technological conspiracy theory I'm aware of is The Air Loom, where a man was convinced a gang expert in the then-brand-new sciences of pneumatics and magnetics were torturing him and stalking him to observe the effects of their torture. It's interesting that his delusions mirror exactly what we see nowadays in the gang stalking/targeted individuals conspiracy theories with only the technology involved changed. If you read his writings about what he felt was happening it could (apart from the spelling) be straight off a Wordpress site being advertised via replies to Donald Trump tweets. It's interesting that brain dysfunctions seem to follow similar paths despite very different societies.

RE: Masculine Karen, it's gotta be Richard/Dick, based on my ultrascientific method of googling the year Karen was most popular, then googling popular baby names that year, and finding the masculine name in the same row as Karen.

Nah, it’s not just the popularity of the name, it’s also that the name is associated primarily with white, middle-class people.

Karen and Kevin sounds good so that's what I'm going to say now. https://twitter.com/ProfaneFeminist...738181221646336 As a baker, I should really start a thread listing all the hosed up bakes people are putting on the internet. This bread is a travesty inside and out.

I personally think Kyle is the analogue to Karen. It just screams entitlement, he does MMA in his back yard, wears monster energy drink clothes, and pretends to be a navy seal in bars and picks fights. They're definitely married, Kyle and Karen, if they aren't perfect analogues. Plus you got the one K away thing from completing the trashy trifecta

ilmucche posted:I'd lean towards Preston but also think having one name represent snooty assholes is kind of lovely for the unfortunate bastards who have that name. Well, nobody gives a poo poo about how it affects real life Karens, so I can't imagine that factoring in for the Kevins or whatever. Tho I doubt the internet ever agrees on a male Karen because the internet isn't as invested in boiling down men into one unpleasant stereotype to name and dismiss, generally. Chad is the only one I can think of and that's just an incel thing.

The Karen meme is pretty specific in the kind of woman it boils down to an unpleasant stereotype to name and dismiss. Just like attempting to name the male equivalent is pretty specific to whomst it targets.

There’s a subset of people saying Karen that mean a white middle class woman using her privilege to be an rear end in a top hat. There’s an entirely different subset that latched onto it to be hella misogynistic.

Steve or Paul. One is too dumb to realize he is wrong, while asking advice from an expert then dismissing it, because he is right. The other thinks everyone like him agrees with his hosed up viewpoint, and tells the woman store owner to shut up, men are talking, while complaining to the male cashier about prices.

T-man posted:Can we get some receipts because i haven't seen the misogynistic use itt or irl Basically when its used to shut down a woman with a legitimate complaint, rather than merely using her privilege as a bludgeon for entitlement. "I think it'd be nice if we stopped killing women so much." "More Karens here to complain to management, shut up." The other misogynistic use is applying it based on the criterion "I don't want to gently caress her" rather than on privileged behavior. I've seen both, and don't care to go back to where I saw them to get screen shots for you.
