I don't know, it's a common practice though? People did it before this, it's just at an all new level because of the virus nonsense. My place is flooded with applications but no one will answer their phones. All they have to do is put in the app, there is no system I am aware of that allows you to turn them in for not actually making an effort to get a job.

Blame the government for giving people 2-3 times what they would make working by staying home drawing unemployment.
I just think if your work says they need you then you should no longer be eligible for unemployment, outside of the standard exceptions, seems crooked that you can ignore them for at least a couple of weeks and keep collecting unemployment

I would say no, I don't feel like it's a privilege, the fact that minorities get treated worse does not mean I have privilege, I am at neutral, they should be at my level, like all people. It's disgusting that minorities are treated worse, this is from Merriam-Webster a right or immunity granted as a peculiar benefit, advantage, or favor so I don't see it as that. I will admit I have it easier, but I don't get special treatment, they just get screwed.

To put it simply, I don't have a buff for being white, but minorities get debuffed for being minorities, which is terrible, but white privilege is a lie by the elite to distract from the fact that being elite is the true privilege

Lucas has nothing to do with canon anymore. Again, canon is simply a matter of being recognized in-universe moving forward. Nothing more. If future media recognizes the events of the ST, then the ST is canon. If future media retcons or does not recognize the events of the ST, then the ST is no longer canon. Simple as that. Lucas doesn't get to decide that, and you don't get to decide that.
But they said the eu wasn't canon but it still gets referenced

90+% of people don't wipe off surfaces where hands touch, like seat adjustment knobs. Some people will hit handles. Usually, people only 'clean' surfaces that you sit or rest your body against get a pass with cleaning rags/paper towels.

That said, this man took an extra step backwards by just spraying his hand with cleaning solution, then rubbing his hands over some surfaces.

Not to mention, the cleaner being provided in my gym seems to just be a discount glass cleaner; not even an actual disinfectant.
Wtf is wrong with people? I will grab a rag to wipe my face then get a new rag and wipe down the whole machine, not sure why you would rather use your bare hands for either of those

"Canon" is literally "this stuff exists, anything else is unofficial and will not be recognized moving forward in the universe." If you treat something that is canon as though it isn't, you're pretending that it doesn't exist in-universe.
Yeah but death of the author is a thing, and as much as I would like it not to exist it does, and comes in handy with this

So what, any time you're discussing Star Wars with somebody and the reference the ST, you'll just say "that didn't happen you're lying"? Yeah, that's practical.

Again, you don't have to like them, but the new movies are canon. You're going to sound much less like a petulant toddler if you accept that your opinion can be formed independent of that fact than if you try to pretend they don't exist.
I don't pretend they don't exist, I just don't think of them as canon, but either way there's rumors lucasfilm wants to decanonize the disney trilogy

If you were a gay person, would you support a family member who runs on a platform of making gay marriage illegal again?

The fact that you can't fathom a reason to not support a family member suggests you haven't thought on this very hard.
At the very least you should stay quiet publicly and disagree privately, but luckily I don't have racist/sexist family

youre wrong about this

just look at graffiti/street art

some people view it almost universally as graffiti that should be removed regardless of any artistry, and some other people view pretty much anything spray painted in public areas as a form of ambient artistry
But there are objective differences between a street art though, there are some masterpieces and others of low quality

So you think there's no talent in "mass produced" pop music? None of the beat creators, instrumental musicians or producers? None of the writers? The artists themselves who sing, dance and entertain? It's all lacking talent because you perceive it to be "mass produced" and popular?
I wouldn't necessarily say there's no talent, but they don't really get to showcase it because of the low quality of writing, I mean there are people with little to no talent in there but there's some almost every genre, including my personal favorites

It doesnt mean you are a bad person if you enjoy bad music.

In fact it means you are a big person to admit you have flaws, same as everybody.

What needs not happen is white knighting for talentless millionaires who can follow a formula.

That's ok, my problem isn't with the people who enjoy it, hell I like pop punk which isn't known for its musical virtuosos or deep song writing, my problem is specifically with the way the industry has a complete disregard for originality

It sounds like you want to only hear music you like on the radio and stuff. Not that you really care if something is garbage or not. If you don't like the song that's playing, change the channel. If it's in a store, wear headphones. Just because you don't like something or think it's garbage doesn't mean everybody else will agree with you... Nobody going to change stuff and stop making money to make you happy. And the store isn't going to change the song from a popular song that people like to one you want to hear because you hate popular things, or don't like it...
Why is it bad to want music to be made by the artists themselves? Why is it bad to want art to be artistic and not formulaic manufactured bs?

I don't call it garbage because I don't like it I call it garbage because it lacks integrity
