Boosts welcome!

Ok, i will bite, what is the correct adjective to describe the current state of things if not fascism?
If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared.
You have no idea what "fascism" really means.

the regime is zip tying toddlers and ripping them away from their mothers unclothed... calling it fascism upsets this neo-con.

Tech companies are not allowed to work with AI until they manage to invent an airline seat electrical plug that chargers can actually plug into snugly and supply power. First things first.

Rogan is exemplary of the kind of person who succeeds as an influencer: He's a stupid person's idea of a smart person, but necessarily stupid himself, because otherwise the stupid people who think he's smart would feel intimidated—and therefore themselves stupid, and then resentful—listening to him.
A big part of the problem is stupid people have been convinced by rich people that AI is God, when AI is closer to an automatic dog food dispenser.

Suggestions for a mini precision electric screwdriver, similar to the Xiaomi Wowstick?
That device looks great, but maybe there's a better driver on the market now?
