I like the concept, and I think it would fit the definition of democracy since it reflects the will of the people. The main issue I see is that it still remains stable if a majority superclass oppresses a minority underclass. Tyranny of the Masses is a problem with most forms of democracy, not just yours.

One tactic to mitigate it is by only doing a random sample each time instead of a full sample. So randomly select 20% of the population, require them to vote, and if 50% of them vote in favor then there's no election. That only works if the mechanism to randomly select people can't be tampered with, though.

I read this in the "Watch those wrist rockets!" way and completely lost it.

My mom said it to me frequently before I cut her out, which is a pretty good indication it's not normal. A therapist would tell you that's a reflection of her issues; if she had a different kid instead of you she would have said the same thing to them. You, as a person, don't really factor into why she feels that way.

As for your feelings, let me know what you come up with. I'm in the same boat emotionally and I don't see a way out either.

You definitely seem to have the second amendment backwards, as others have mentioned.

Additionally, the US government has turned the military on its own protesters several times. The Kent State massacre, The Battle of Blair Mountain, and the 1967 Detroit riots are all instances where they murdered civilians and faced no consequences. It's completely legal and, in all three of those cases, was happily endorsed by much of the populace.

Code Ment "Where are you right now!?" "I'M AT SOUP"

A classic that has not aged well, but that scene will always be great.

Ripped off the brand-ad, some would say.

Does anybody have a link to an actual source for the claim? I would absolutely believe it, but this article's "source" just seems to be the same article but Russian. The guy on Twitter claiming to be the author of the code seems to be trolling, leaving me with no leads.

I want to send this to my coworker who hates React, but I don't want to spread misinformation.

Plus that Gavin Belson guy keeps trying to jam his horrible signature into his products.

That's how I view it too. If you can consume something without financing further harm then the author doesn't matter. Already own a Niel Gaiman book? Feel free to keep reading it. Pirated some metal music from a band that turned out to be neo-nazis? Go for it. Want to read Lovecraft? He's long dead and his estate doesn't seem to be supporting racism, so buy as much as you want. Want to check out Mein Kampf from the library? I will have questions when you return it, but you aren't hurting anyone by reading it. Just understand the mindset that made them bad people and don't let them sway your outlook to match.

Clearly he was a lib as well

Exactly. I was in the same boat as OP because my GPA was trash. I probably missed some opportunities because of it when trying to land my first job. But after I got one in my field, I was never asked for my GPA again, or even evidence that I went to college. Employers only want to know what you did in your last job, and only default to grades or diplomas if you have no relevant work history.

Is it possible to do something like this with a newer router? My wireless-G router is finally dying after 20 years, and if I need to upgrade it'd be nice to wrap it all in one.
