we’re closer to Star Trek every day

Did you forget all the horrible shit that happens in the star trek timeline between 2000 and the founding of the federation in 2161?

Going off the TOS timeline, WWIII starts next year...

The Bell Riots also start in 2024. Oh boy, it's going to be a wild few years.

Well, I was thinking about Trump's plan to make homelessness illegal and offer "offenders" the option of moving to a rehabilitation "tent city". It seems like an eerily similar plan.

I came here to say that. They start in September, so we've got a little less than a year. Though, I do wonder how a true first contact would affect us.

I do wonder how a true first contact would affect us.

A good chunk of the population would not believe it was true (the gov conspiracy crew), while another section would not believe it was just happening now ( the Roswell crowd)

Another section would believe it was the bible end of days and the aliens are Satan and his demons.

I don't like what you have to say... But I don't disagree with it either.

Probably something like the Mirror Universe first contact.
