I’m watching bad ass right now, and while I love seeing Trejo on camera, I’m not super impressed with his acting here, or in any film I can really pin down....
I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
I work at an MSP, and got sexually harassed by a client recently. I just found out he got fired over it. I get to disable all of his accounts and stuff. It’s so amazing.
I joined a company, was given part ownership, could not believe how much money was wasted by the other owners behind the curtain, proposed reforms that were ignored, set up a presentation showing that we could all retire in 4 years on interest if we invested excess profits, nobody was interested. They just wanted to expand.
The other owners were taking minimum to zero salary, saying that their stakes would pay off soon after they expanded.
I insisted on receiving full salary since I was working and again explained that we could all start receiving interest payments right away if we invested this year’s profits. Ignored.
After two years of full salary and basically running the company, warning the other owners I would leave if nothing changed and they kept investing capital into unnecessary expansions for a year, I gave two months notice, the other owners acted surprised, I trained a few people to do my job, cashed out my ownership, left the company, cut ties, haven’t looked back in years .
Just found out a couple weeks ago that the company collapsed almost immediately after I left.
I totally agree. corrolarily, I’m always thinking we should put the clouds under the rain, to use them as umbrellas, rather than over the rain because then the rain falls on us

Many Americans are very aware of the false democracy and lack of freedom in the states and have made and have been trying to make further legislative and cultural changes for generations.
The Republicans have dismantled themselves, certainly, but they have not dismantled the institution of voting at all (the conservatives lost the previous election because of conscious voting).
We’re not one election away from a christofascist state, any more than any other country is, anyway. The fascism was literally voted out last election, the bungling, violent rioters are condemned across the nation and are undergoing legal punishments and widespread vilification.
The christo part of your accusation is completely absurd: in 50 years, Christians have fallen from over 90% of the population to just over 60%, at a steadily increasing rate. In addition to that, people who identify as non-religious over the last 50 years has shot up from 5% to 30%.
Religious parties are losing numbers every year, at a steadily increasing rate.
As for work, Americans are conditioned by their education and their culture to work no matter what, we have an insane work ethic that does not benefit the workers; that is actually why the UAW strikes and all the recent strikes are so important, because workers have to remember that their civil rights are more important than the profits of their exploitative capitalist masters.
America is not one election away from a Nazi takeover, which happened while Germany was at some of its lowest points with regard to economy and social awareness, with no local or foreign opposition to or awareness of the Nazi party. The USA has an incredible economy right now, there are civil rights and workers rights movements happening right now that are changing the entire country, and since the Nazi party up to this year, there are new legislative protections against hate groups and a worldwide and American awareness of and opposition to Nazis and other hate groups rising to power.
Americans are rioting, but more importantly they are voting out fascists and raising awareness, and the majority of them want a better country and a better world for everyone.

Is there a good list of which materials are considered canon beyond the films and how definitive is that list?
Is it clear which works are considered canon and which ones are not?
