Alternatively, the drummer keeps trying to shoot the congregation. They try to take the guns off him, but he always seems to have another hidden somewhere.

You took Bender up on his offer.

Futurama meme. Calculon looks at Bender who is standing on a table with a beer and a cigar and pointing at his ass. Bender says “Bite my shiny metal ass”.

A politician isn’t going to perfectly tick all the boxes in your purity test, you need to just vote for the candidate you’re given and never ask anything of them. (Also, maybe drop the dumb nicknames, are you twelve?)

If Labour supporters don’t want Reform to win, they need to suck it up and vote Green.

Votes for other parties, most likely. Maybe undecided too, but 91% listing a preference seems too high for that, so they were probably excluded.

Labour supporters need to drop the student politics and vote Green. Remember, a political party is like a bus, which means you have to get on board even if it’s going in a completely different direction from where you want to get to, or something.

When the Greens overtake Labour in the polls (one year at the most, probably under six months), I am going to be the most Sensible Centrist in history.

The Devil Went Down to Georgia is a great song, because in literally any other country in history it would have been a cautionary tale about hubris, but in America Johnny really is that great and was totally justified in challenging Satan.

Hat.

Ghost of Yōtei screen. Atsu is wearing a ridiculous black straw hat that covers her whole face.

It’s not even one of those bosses that only gets serious after taking damage, I just can’t keep up the level of perfection needed for the whole fight.

I got the Ghost of Yōtei bonus boss down to below half health without taking damage then immediately forgot how to parry and died in about 30 seconds.

“You can’t expect politicians to perfectly tick every box before you vote for them, you’ll just have to hold your nose and vote for the people with good policies instead of demanding exactly the right sort of genocidal bigot.”

I played so many awful SNES platformers based on movies that also suck. Every one was worse than 90% of suggestions here.

In the event that something statistically aberrant occurs within my geographically localised community, to whom should I direct my telephonic enquiries?

There’s that one that’s going around at the moment that is supposed to be “a woman comes to your door at 3am and asks to come in” and what it actually shows is about ten different women at doors or windows or just standing around outside at various times of day. Yep, let’s put that in the movie.

“Screwdriver” is just the Gallifreyan name for a general-purpose portable computer thing, just like how our general-purpose portable computer things are called phones despite that only being a pretty minor part of their usage.
