The error with Hitler wasn't sending him to prison, it was letting him out again after only a few months.

Because the Republicans currently have the support of something like 20% more of the population than the NAZIs did when they seized power.

Remember, unlike folks who believe in democracy, tyrants don't need a majority to win.

This is an extremely dangerous time for liberty in the US, and complacent attitudes like yours are only increasing the danger.

There are lots of countries that have compulsory military service with alternatives for conscientious objectors (which is basically what you're describing).

I agree that it's a good idea. Moreover, it comes closer to the original meaning of that whole "well-regulated militia" thing. We should consider doing like the Swiss do: give (roughly) everybody mandatory firearms training, send them all home with an infantry standard-issue assault rifle, and then severely restrict access to ammunition except for legitimate purposes like practice at the firing range.

It keeps track of which files you've played (e.g. to automatically pick the next episode in a series), it automatically downloads metadata and cover art so you have a nice browsing interface, it manages multiple profiles so that e.g. you can limit your kids' access to only G and TV-Y or filter out genres a user doesn't like, it lets you set parental controls to limit the amount of time watched in a day (or disable it at certain times of day), etc.

ITT: folks who think Linux is too complicated or whatever, but are perfectly willing to jump through endless hoops to work around some of Windows' deliberate hostility.

The Stockholm syndrome is real.

The name made me think it was made by the same company that makes these.

Now that I think about it, I don’t think acetaminophen has been effective in ever curing my headaches even back when I was prescribed liver damage amounts.

Sleep apparently > painkillers

I wouldn't necessarily generalize; even if acetaminophen doesn't work, other painkillers like aspirin or naproxen sodium might. (Personally, I take naproxen sodium and only naproxen sodium when I have a headache.)

Link to the knowyourmeme.com page, maybe?

Alternatively, for a lot of meme formats it would be appropriate to use the text embedded in the image as the alt text.
