| Balrog0 05/28/21 1:28:12 PM #22 | Unsugarized_Foo posted... Isn't this just the same discount I get on taxes? Only 50% will be paid out in advance, which means when combined with the 50% increase to the overall credit that you'll still get back almost as much when you file taxes anyway. Though tbf it's optional if you want to do that. Check the portal in July! --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

| Topic | In the new Rugrats Betty is going to be gay |
| Balrog0 05/28/21 9:45:05 AM #76 | I don't care if they make any of the characters gay. I do have an issue with the mentality that sexuality "obviously" presents itself in certain ways. Particularly since, at the time of Rugrats creation, that would have shown up in obviously toxic ways (a boy playing with dolls instead of action figures??) But maybe there were more obvious hints that I missed in the original show run. It's not like I've seen it in years --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

I notice the changes because I've been coming here for 20 years. It is pretty close though. It's kind of like when they do a new game in the style of a 16 bit game.

This is what I mean, though. The wording is more than semantic. How far can you stretch cancel culture? Muhammad Ali dodging the draft, was the reaction to that cancel culture? There was a time we didn't pretend people having opinions about public personalities required it's own conventions to analyze.

| Topic | Seth Rogen doesn't understand comedians who complain about cancel culture |
| Balrog0 05/26/21 10:14:18 AM #140 | IShall_Run_Amok posted... Like, most of these manifestations of cancel culture are different things. James Gunn getting fired from Disney for bad jokes he made ten years ago, because he criticized an actual sexual predator's president is different from J.K. Rowling getting flack from minorities she speaks against, and they're both different from the walkouts over Roman Polanski at the Csar Awards, and none of them have anything to do with Dave Chapelle getting bad reviews from a dozen critics. Yet these are all, apparently, "cancelled". Right. Or, how about this; we're not so far removed from the pre- social media era that we should forget what it was like when it first became big. Starting about 15 years ago, and for years, the boomer advice was to be careful about what you say online because it could come back to haunt you, especially with employers. No one thought we were in the grip of cancel culture. Funnily, it's only when boomers joined social media en masse and failed to follow their own advice that it became a "thing" --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |
| Topic | Seth Rogen doesn't understand comedians who complain about cancel culture |
| Balrog0 05/26/21 9:23:42 AM #132 | The issue with the term "cancel culture" isn't so much that people don't get "cancelled" but that it's used to confer a unity to things that don't necessarily have anything meaningful in common. Rick Santorum getting fired from CNN recently, X conservative professor being uninvited to campus, and these comedians not getting work are all different things with different contexts. For example, obviously people leave rooms right? So I could try to say that "room leaving culture" exists and say, well, when you leave a room this way it means this, but if you leave a room that way it means something else. Most people would easily see how this makes no sense because we don't attach arbitrary value to the action, we understand it's not the point of whatever is happening --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

It's true that trump beat Hilary with those groups, partially because he was seen as the more moderate candidate. Then he actually governed and Biden was seen as more moderate.
