Did he get the idea from Ford Prefect?

- To the bus stop: 33.8km

Is that a typo, or can you just randomly stand at the side of the road and flag down a bus so you don’t need as many formal bus stops?

Because that’s wild.

Do you not?

I liked Disco, I love SNW and Lower Decks, and I’d agree that Prodigy is somehow still the best Trek of the current era. It’s actually amazing when I think about it.

“But it’s just a cartoon for kids”

And yet. Here we are.

You can’t eat the brain.

Shouldn’t

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!”

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.

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.

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.

Is that a pine cone, or has AI gone nuts on the teeth again?

I’ll take a personal day. Maybe I’ll watch, maybe I’ll just slob on the sofa, we’ll see…

Depends how bad at walking they are…

Personally, I’d say yes if they’ve heard of Captain Kirk and Mister Spock.

Not all of it, but a couple of select episodes such a Space Seed and Balance of Terror.

Then a couple of TNG episodes like The Measure of a Man and Q Who

If they’re into it after that, some TOS films (2,3 and 4 come to mind) and a few more TNG episodes in order.

The first couple of DS9 episodes to see if they like the space station format, but after season 2 or 3 I think those need to be watched in order really.

Then Voyager, then Enterprise.

If they don’t get on with TNG, maybe look at the first few episodes of Discovery. If that’s a bit grim for them, Strange New Worlds should be light enough.

Prodigy might be a good start if they don’t want to watch 60 years of legacy Trek to catch them up.

And Lower Decks is nice and light but I think they’d get far more out of it if they have some reference on what’s being riffed on.

Show him the Titan-A. Lights mean you can at least see what you’re doing while at work…
