There’s another episode in VOY where the Hirogen force Harry to build basically 3/4 of the ship into a massive set of holodecks. It’s mentioned multiple times that this is a MASSIVE power drain (this may be due to the smaller warp core of the ship, though).

Don’t forget trying to start a war with Iran (and maybe Iraq too) by assassinating an intelligence head during a peace conference with Iraq.

There’s also the fact that they reached a “ceasefire” with Lebanon and still had soldiers and tanks shooting at people there literally the day after.

I’ll second the last bit. I’ve got too many friends who bought their houses and they’re so insanely worried about “well what if the paint color on the outside makes people not want to buy the house” or whatever. That’s (hopefully) a problem that’s years and years in the future, and you shouldn’t have to worry about it. Don’t worry about how other people might see it - it’s your house, and you should do things that please you. Always wanted a bright pink bedroom? Go for it.

“The war will continue until everyone we want to kill is dead.”

Don’t forget that Trump has pretty much promised to import the genocide home. It might not start off with people being gunned down in the street, but it’s definitely going to make life hard-to-impossible for immigrants, LGBTQIA+ people, and everyone who’s not a straight white man.

Their home version of Spokesman is great.

We sure do NOT have universally mandatory civics, not anymore. I graduated in 09 and my school district didn’t teach anyone anything beyond the basics of the voting system.

There really aren’t any. No candidate has withdrawn or died before the election, and nobody ever really considered the possibility even as candidate ages grow older and older.

His manifesto is full of a bunch of problematic racial overtones as well.

I stopped caring too much after he was allowed not only to stay on, but actively work as chief security officer AFTER HE HAD KILLED A MAN in a blackout state.

“Time for It To Come Home for Christmas” sounds vaguely ominous.

I’m reminded of a quote: “a riot is the language of the unheard.” When the opposition will vilify ANY attempt to stand together and demand change as a “riot” and respond with state violence, what reason do you have to protest peacefully? If they’re just going to gas protestors, use dogs and pepper spray and bullets (both rubber and regular) and armored vehicles, then why bother trying to act like “the bigger man”?

Or you have a golden parachute clause so you leave with $3.6mil as everything burns around you.

TBH, O’brien’s been on the Enterprise long enough to know that when weird, seemingly powerful creatures start talking to you, you should be very, very careful. Even if they present themselves as storybook characters.

I thought it was the one like Babylon 5.

And like 40 other characters from every piece of media ever. He was Long Feng in Avatar (there is no war in Ba Sing Se), he was Rawhide in Buckaroo Banzai, Parallax, Taskmaster, Surtur (from Thor: Ragnarok), Sergeant Zim (the DI) in Starship Troopers…

Don’t forget the part where he had to watch most of his friends die in an alternate timeline because he accidentally touched a thing.

Unarmored, unarmed except for what you can reasonably hide. You all bought at least 1 dagger over the course of your campaign, right?

Generally speaking, plane crashes are like train crashes. Either most everyone survives, or most everyone dies pretty quickly, with very little in between.
