  • Isn’t every immigrant who is not yet a US Citizen only temporarily legal? I think that’s the issue here.

    They spent all their time talking about the horrible illegal immigrants, and ‘I have no problem with the immigrants doing things right’. And now they are showing they are prepared to just unilaterally decide whoever they want to deport, is on the block no matter what their current status is. If they aren’t a citizen, then they can be declared illegal and shipped out.

    It just highlights the lie that a lot of the more liberal minded people knew was there. It was never about legal status.

    I started a sentence in my class with “When I was born”. A student instantly chimed in and said “What in the 19’s?” And I thought in my head, of course you idiot, everybody is born in the 19’s. It still haunts me

    It still feels wrong to me, to see it written out, but spoken its different.

    I feel like it works to go with say, the 1600’s, which I read naturally as the 16 hundreds. But when I see 1900 I read that as the nineteen naughts, (aughts?) because so often when people are referring to periods in the 19 hundreds, its down to the decade because so much changed between each one. Or maybe I just felt that way because I’m so old now.

    Maybe in another 25 years, it’ll be far enough away that 1900’s becomes 19 hundreds in my head.



  • Holocaust victims were people targeted by the government of Nazi Germany based on their ethnicity, religion, political beliefs, disability or sexual orientation For specified groups like the Jews, genocide was the Nazis’ primary goal. According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM), the Holocaust was “the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jewish men, women and children by the Nazi regime and its collaborators”.[1]

    Including 7.8 million soviet civilians and POWs in the count kind of seems like a revisionist definition of what the holocaust was to include anyone killed in the war. To undermine how much focus was on the jews pre-war.



  • It’s relatively easy to self host your own git repositories.

    It’s just that Github adds a lot of extra value added features that help streamline things for larger projects, and this is why many people use it. For most people, the value they get far outweighs the inconvenience when it goes down for 10 minutes here or there.
