Rules

41 comments

Americans love rules for everyone else, but not for themselves.
- 90% of American Facebook tier conversations about criminal justice are this image
  
  I'm going to break it even harder, Facebook!
  
  Does a little tax fraud
So to summarise:

The Union Jack makes you love rules

Stars make you say that you hate rules

Full-height vertical red bars make you say that you love rules

Living in North America makes you hate rules
- Replace "makes" with "is correlated with" because we don't have sufficient evidence to infer causality.
  
  This sounds dangerously like a rule 🤔 🇨🇦
This is more accurate than it looks like at first glance. As an Australian, we like to think that we are all larrikin individuals. Actually we are mostly law-abiding freaks even under the most ridiculous constraints.
- Yep, as an Irish jaywalker, I was shocked to find not only is jaywalking not allowed, but you actually get fined. For crossing the road with no traffic.
  
  Or even just being denied entry to a pub for racism or sexism. Its an offrnce not to leave immediately.
  
  On the bright side, peopke clean their shit upnin parks and beaches for the most part.
  
  Too true...
- What about those shared bikes thrown on the water ever weekend?
  
  I've seen that phenomenon all over the world . Nobody loves them.
- It's interesting to hear the pov of an Australian. From the outsider's perspective, I think you love rules given Australia's outside reputation as a nanny state.
  
  Even worse, we have a nasty habit of informing on our fellows. Not for murder, or other serious crimes, but for breaking stupid council rules and such. We call it dobbing. We dobb.
How did you get the idea that Canada doesn't like rules?
- Visit the North. Very clear attitude towards rules.
  
  Canadian here. Can confirm. Fuck the law.
  
  I'm from Québec, I'm very much from the North. I know in Québec we try to make our own rules just to piss off the rest of Canada.
  
  But, I'm just curious as to what attitude you are referring to, towards Canadians. Because they've tried to impose their rules on us for quite a long time.
- It's never a war crime the first time
  
  That's our appreciation for clear rules
- Ever been to Alberta? It's Texas lite and half the time doesn't make sense.
  
  We also hate rules (especially if you also say the name Trudeau)
  
  Hahahahaha! Yeah ok I see it now.
Dr. L. Kravitz (1989) had a thesis that the clause be inverted
- Huh thought he only did rock
In this limited context only the British and the US are honest.
Why are we in your commonwealth meme? And how can this not be cross-posted to !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone ?
- Feel free to crosspost! (I stole this meme anyway)
- Are you wondering why it isn't cross-posted already, or are you trying to prevent it?
  
  Uh.... whichever one is against the rules, that's the one I want!
This is an absolutely brilliant summary.
!196@lemmy.blahaj.zone rule?
