Okay but for real salmon are so fucking cool and I like them a lot and I think they should be better protected because of their outsized ecological and cultural significance here

asking "hey is it fine if I smoke in here" and before you're able to answer I've already set up a full rack of salmon over a fire in your living room

Oh I love this shit, you see it a lot on old minicomputer hardware from back when it was still discrete transistor architecture or TTL logic chips on the card modules that DEC liked to use. Hell of a lot nicer to build and maintain than wire-wrap, and hand-drawn circuit traces like that are actually not *thaaat* difficult to do yourself
Oh wait it says univac right there I'm dumb

Lately, given the political environment that we're living in, I've been reflecting on what Holocaust education is actually useful for. I actually didn't realize it was Holocaust remembrance day until today, so I figured I'd finally share what's been rattling around in my head about it.
Most of the time people say that it's to make sure that people learn from the past to avoid making the same mistakes and committing the same atrocities, but this has clearly failed to work. That's just simply not the actual impact it's had. People at this point are knowingly eager to repeat the atrocities of the past, masking with a condescending, dismissive attitude about it right up to the point that they swing the gates open and the pretense is dropped. Decades of "It could never happen here" has all but guaranteed that it will, and the cycle continues.
No, I think that, at this point, the practical importance of Holocaust education is that it informs the parts of society that it targeted- Jews, the disabled, queer people, communists and political dissidents, racial minorities, everyone- what the lead-up to a Holocaust looks like and what the signs are. It teaches us how the how dehumanizing rhetoric propagates, and what it looks like when it's about to shift from marginalization to expulsion to extermination. It teaches us the sorts of behaviors people adopt when fascism rears its head, informing on the vulnerable and collaborating with fascists to cling on as part of the in-group, no matter the human cost.
The real utility of Holocaust education is that it teaches us how to recognize when it's about to happen again and what, if anything, we can do to survive and stay safe. If Holocaust education can't prevent it from happening again, it can at least protect us by teaching us when and how to save ourselves when no one else will save us.
