It might happen here, which is why Dachau would be the more apt comparison in my opinion.

But right now, it's certainly not anything like Auschwitz. The Japanese Internment Camps you had some decades ago weren't Auschwitzes either.

Dachau? No, it never became an extermination camp. Hell, I visited the memorial site and know about its history to some extent (though certainly far less than actual historians).

It killed tens of thousands still, especially in the later parts of WW2. But its purpose was still to concentrate enemies of the state and not to exterminate them.

I mean, yeah? An extermination camps is arguably several magnitudes worse than a concentration camp, isn't it?

That doesn't detract from both being horrific.

Hyperbole and analogies are just two conflicting figures of speech. The overall message is weakened than if either is used by itself.

Auschwitz was an extermination camp, not just a concentration camp though.

For now, it's much more like Alligator Dachau. That was the nazi's first and flagship concentration camp used for propaganda.

Natural numbers only include zero if you define it so in the beginning of your book/paper/whatever. Otherwise it's ambiguous and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Aaaahh please use punctuation

It would make it infinitely more understandable if you wrote:

Bonus points if you can guess:

  • from which tracker the torrent is and
  • the exact title of the file

  1. You can change that setting in your about:config by setting dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled to false.
  2. This sadly prevents pasting (T)OTPs for websites that choose to have 6 separate input fields. You have to enter these codes manually.

Ok, but the second tweet is a bit redundant

Like what else would a .log file be? A video file? A Word Document? An executable?

Do you really need to inspect the properties to be told: "This .log file is certainly containing text. Thank you for installing Windows 10. Save 5% on your Office 365 subscription with code 'ILOVEMICROSOFT'"

He never said that. This quote is from William Pannapacker, a professor of American literature at Hope College in Holland, Michigan.

For anyone else who's curious who that person is:

She's the trans woman who was sponsored by Bud Light, infuriating every single conservative who has ever lived or will ever live.
