In fairness that could easily describe the UK too.

Our PM hasn't described it as a hoax, but boasted about shaking hands with everyone in a COVID ward (spoiler, he got it). This govt has never taken responsibility for literally anything they've done (they still blame the opposition who've been out of power for 10 years). I don't think our PM has claimed any deaths are the fault of a previous PM, but he has called the leader of the opposition an opportunist (for suggesting we might need stronger restrictions) when he is a serial opportunist himself.

It'll be fun at the end of January when the whole Brexit thing comes into effect.

You'd be surprised. I suspect the reason that so many of our MPs are incompetents ninnies is because they're so far removed from what normal life is that they just don't care what effects their decisions have on most people because it will never affect them.

Take the COVID crisis as an example, the person put in charge of Tests & Trace over here is on record saying that no one could've predicted the surge in demand for testing in September. Literally every normal person could because they all know that when the kids go back to school, that's when everyone gets sick.

A true optimist won't let a setback get them down. 

But then again, apparently the private company that our govt outsourced test and trace to don't know not to use spreadsheets for a) databases and b) sensitive data. *facepalm*

I want to believe things are about to get better. But in 2021 we get the joy that is Brexit. October is going to be a real telling month on how bad that cluster is actually going to be. (For the record I am happy to be proven wrong, but our govt don't inspire confidence.)

We're not doing much better, we've got his mini-me.

Oh, and a bunch of people in the government who seem to be surprised by their own country's borders! Seriously, satire is dead in the UK because it's become the norm.

I keep thinking this will all be over soon, the worry is that we'll either have to go through Gilead or 1984 to get there...

(I'd like more time to do stuff. Why do we spend so much of our lives working?

The Revan one was what I originally started the other thread about. It's apparently what happens if I watch too much SVU then play enough of KOTOR to be reminded of the intolerable attitude of the Jedi in game and get a rabid headcanon about maybe Revan fell because of past trauma and stuff.)

Pen.

(I have an ongoing crossover series of ME & Thunderbirds 2015 series, each instalment is a short adventure between a character from each. It all started with Gordon & Kasumi (well, technically Gordon sitting on his brother doing push ups in show). I've also done Kayo/Liara, Virgil/Wrex, Alan/Joker and the latest one is Tali/John which I've only just finished & still needs editing.

The Tali/John one is a bit different in that the focus isn't the adventure but the long distance friendship aspect. I'm still not sure it works, but I think it does.

This might have something to do with the fact that my Revan fic hasn't gotten written.)

Shields

(The real answer was "tech proximity mine" because I just finished a fanfic involving Tali, but I assumed three words didn't count in word association.)
