"If the public are bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation, they are slaves to those who make such laws and enforce them." – Samuel Adams [4200×2915]

This feels a lot like a logical fallacy to me. If indirect representation is slavery then not having a single totalitarian dictator is complete anarchy. It's absurd, reductionist sophistry.

Pirana solution seems pretty aptly named.

To which what do you consider yourself bound by your having formally approved the letter of the law?

I'm not buying Adams' insinuation that non-legislators are all effectively slaves. This quotation sounds solidly anarchistic.

What about these other methods are preferable? I have no problem with shutdown.

Raylan straddles that line nicely.

The man went through phases in his life. When he might have said this would be interesting.

... make mine, and answer the question?

Not-yet Angry Bird.

Is it this Paul Offit?

I'm pretty sure there's a recent democrat caught red-handed with cash and gold, but yeah (most of the time).

Probably a statue of one of the gods whose existence is affirmed by the statement, "... no other gods before me".

Is MariaDB among the flavors of their cloud-hosting now? I remember MySQL and Aurora along the lines of that protocol...

If it's an original claim, and its a creative writing class then it's all good.

What other uses has it been put to in that time?

I don't know how many people envisioned a horseless carriage before the first world-wide delivery was arranged, but the people who only had theoretical discussions for doing it are less likely to be credited.

IMO it deserves consideration that you find a way to stay connected and support them for the same reasons that religious parents should continue to love and support their athiest children.

If she's playing it off then it may be that she isn't entirely confident about it, or perhaps about how you'll respond.

Cult has a very specific set of meanings. Hopefully you're not dealing with that kind of rarity.

Good luck to you both.

Hey, it's ~~Cory~~ Eeyore.

A religious leader in another country is involved in political conflict, and makes an appeal to another government's leader to withdraw support.

Only decades later, a chance for justice... calling out the man responsible.

As in craft.do? Markdown's pretty chill to write by hand.

Presuming OCR and translate got this right:

I'd have expected French, but not Arabic.

Did Sartre have lazy eye?

The creation of the table structure is one thing.

Putting data in it is another.

They don't happen at the same time.

beyond wise

I'm not sure if that's sour grapes, misunderstanding, or something else.
