Hypothermia is a "better" way to go then co2 asphyxiation if your temperature is sufficiently cold, probably hard to do for a raccoon since they can survive winter. Next time use nitrogen or helium, or like most people do, shoot it.
Ragnarok Online is the same way, still going strong in Korea, Brazil, the Philippines. I feel like MapleStory and RO have been sister games for a long time. The communities are equally hard core about a game a lot just don't even care about.
Your assumption is more racist in my opinion. It sounds more classist to me, but I think that's just reality. Desperate people make desperate decisions, and their pro con list is different then middle and upper class.
I don't know where you heard that, but for a long time it was just a fill in name for a middle aged woman with a short hairstyle who would usually cause issues at customer service in retail. The "I'd like to see your manager" and the Karen stereotype go way further back. It's not usually about race with a Karen it's about power and getting their way even if that's not how the rules are set up. (This coupon is a year expired but I want it, this TV was marked for a dollar so you have to sell it to me, etc.)
The new win 10 audio swapping is a horrible abomination. The capstone being the removal of audio settings from the system tray. I feel like I could rant for an hour on the topic. The per app sound controller is good when it works, but frequently likes to jump to other devices with something resembling free will.
