I agree with the sentiment, but the phrase "cancel culture" only exists because conservatives needed a label to slap on themselves to come off as victims. It's never been a legitimate thing in the way they are using it, but it has been weaponized by them forever, but it was labeled differently, or not at all.

It's a combination of the fact that conservatives are the dumbest people in the world, and the fact that they can just do whatever shitty things they want with our consequences is infuriating, coupled with the pure hypocrisy of their statements and actions. Really, I fucking hate conservatives more than almost anything in this world, and it taints everything they are tangentially associated with.

I'm curious what you got for I.O.W.A. I hate this place, so I love anything that bags on us.

Does it also shock you that Iowa is on the short list to do the same?

The thing I hate about articles like this is that they imply that "cancel culture" was ever a legitimate thing and that Republicans actually cared about it. It was a made up term by them to target something that was making them look bad.

I'm struggling to articulate what I mean, but by suggesting that they've flipped sides, so to speak, gives credence to the original idea that it was a thing. I get it, and I think it's important to highlight the hypocrisy, but it still bugs me.

I'll forget whatever horrible things I want, thank you very much.

I feel like I've read that immigrants as a whole commit less crimes per capita than natural born citizens. Which makes sense because of their situation, not wanting to get deported and all.

I have nothing to source that, but I saw it somewhere, and to me it makes sense.

Anyone got information on whether or not I can go to Canada for a trip and get boosted?

When I got my new Pixel a month+ ago, I kept my old one to test 3rd party OS's on my not daily driver. I haven't yet tried, but I do have plans to try and switch, it just has to be able to do all of my things.

That's true, but I think that's true, even if not publicly known, about every smart phone.

I hate to shill for Google, but the the pixel phone has call screening, and I rarely get spam to surface. It is one of the few actually great things that Google does.

I suppose in some cases, yea. I was thinking about authenticator apps as MFA and forgot about email. Ideally, all MFA would be through a separate authenticator. For stronger security, something like a ubikey or other hardware security device can be used.
