The trouble is these days you have politicians like Trump who do tick a tonne of the boxes for being considered fascist. People are keen to deflect these assessments with this "you just call everyone who disagrees with you fascist" line (even when it's clearly untrue)

A double cassette deck was a luxury, obviously, but it made both copying turbo tapes and various albums, as it also had an LP and CD player much easier.

I think I should refrain from saying I spent that much time outdoors. I think I spent it indoors, copying games and albums and being thrown out to "get some fresh air", then grabbing my soccer ball and shooting at the top corner of a goal with no net at a nearby training ground.

Don't think I was ever called a brat. Manwhore, moron, idiot, drunkard, loser. Can we make those into positives too now?

The future is female

You fancy pants, I had the Hungarian knock-off of the C64. With cassettes of course, although it had floppy drive as optional extra available. Never occurred to pre-teen me that I could have made saved games if I connected the computer to the mic port of the cassette player for it. Only thing that could had used it though was Elite and that was a rare ocassion it even loaded, being a small kid in a village, I was on the end of a long chain of pirated games copied from friend to friend.

Incidentally for all I wasn't convinced by the first couple of hours jumping down the Seine, the last ten minutes of the Olympic flame and Celine Dion were incredible. Rewatched a lot of times - and particularly given what she's been through with her health, just an amazing performance from Dion.

A lot of times?

So when did Brat become a good thing?

When a mid-tier British pop star tried a media stunt with good timing and the Democrats made it into a "how do you do, fellow kids?" moment.

Very few who use the word has a clue about what fascism is. It is like woke. Just scare-mongering.
