Do you not?

Interesting ideas, although there is one major issue with the pensions:

After all, most people in those circumstances would only be getting back the money they have paid in.

That’s not how National Insurance works - we’re not paying into a pot we can draw from later, we’re paying for current pensions with the expectation that when we get to retirement, the younger people will be paying for ours.

So that would be an interesting negotiation point.

Donald Trump owes more than $100m from lawsuits

No shit, he hasn’t paid the half a billion dollars from that single lawsuit yet, never mind any of the others…

It depends. If you own a second home just as an AirBnB, you’re part of the problem and should be eaten after the millionaires…

Apparently it’s literally in the standardised tests… that’s what’s causing the problems! 😉

Is that Young Kevin Sorbo?

Baby Wesley was taught to play Donkey Kong by Captain Anderson???

With those massive green eyes I’m just imagining it’s Gir, so the answer is going to be “I LIKE WAFFLES!”

I'd feel the same if The Incredibles and The Fantastic Four had a crossover.

Although I will point out that The Fantastic Four is looking like it’s set in an alternate 1960s and will clearly involve superheroes AND Michael Giacchino is doing the music for it, so that’s probably as close as you’re going to get…

To demonstrate the lack of a “clear mandate”.

Yes, Trump will win if he gets one more vote than Biden, but the more he loses the popular vote by, the more justification people have for protesting.

So if he wins on electoral college votes but loses the popular vote by a landslide, at least it shows what The People are actually thinking.

I’m not an American. I don’t live in the US.

I can’t control who the DNC put forward as a candidate.

All I can do is go on the internet and tell Americans “when the choice is The Fascist or The Other One”, don’t vote for the fascist. Don’t take votes away from the one who’s not a fascist that could win, either by voting third party or by not voting.

Why do I care? Because the president of the US has a disproportionate amount of influence over the rest of the world. Leaving NATO, selling Ukraine down the river, appeasing Putin, none of this makes the rest of us safer.

So go and vote.

Cool, I’m sure a second Trump presidency will do way more for you, so enjoy that.

Kickstarter are the ones for me - I get spam unrelated to any projects I’ve backed, so somehow they got hold of that address…

Because it’s not made of cobalt…

I’m assuming Columbo was another of Janeway’s “holonovels” (is that a posh future way of saying “videogame”?)

That’s the great thing about single player games - you can just use a save editor and retcon anything you need as you go along…

Yes, the turtleneck and the belt really made it work.

Shhhhh, it’ll be ok, just go to sleep…

Hahah, that is… well, terrifying.

While I don’t believe in disenfranchising people, how do you deal with the voters who are literally too dumb to understand the process…?

Guns dont mass murder people, mass murderers do.

Sure, but the guns help.

Try for a mass casualty event with some knives. It’s doable, but you have to work for it.
