The word robot literally cubes from the Czech meaning "forced labor", so this tracks.

Yes, so they used all their best ideas.

However, we got a bunch of Bester episodes, so if kinda has a place in my heart. It's just not as good as Season 4, which was spectacular.

"Democratic" is the adjective. "Democrat" is the noun.

Using "Democrat" as an adjective is a Republicanism, because supposedly it sounds worse.

Right at the base of the scrotum is a magic button, that when you push it, empties the rest of the bladder. It's just science. You can't explain it!

Mastodon Incorporates as a Non-Profit in the US (wedistribute.org)
 

As a project, Mastodon has operated under the umbrella of Mastodon GmbH, a German company that benefited from non-profit status with the German government. Despite all indications that they were doing everything right, Mastodon GmbH recently had its non-profit status revoked, resulting in the team to seek an alternative.

In the announcement, CEO and founder Eugen Rochko had this to say:

Our day to day operations are largely unaffected by this event, since Patreon does not presuppose non-profit status, and Patreon income does not count as donations. We have in fact not had to issue a single donation receipt since 2021.

Mastodon remains one of the only popular social platforms that operates out of the European Union, and Eugen desires to keep things that way. With that being said, this could be an interesting opportunity for the project: a presence in the United States may reduce friction in hiring employees there.
