Vaughan's Law

In any discussion about marriage, the moment a proponent compares gay marriage to the civil rights era, the argument is automatically forfeited.

Person #1: "I believe marriage is between one man and one woman."
Person #2: "Well how would that have worked in the civil rights era?! Loving v. Virginia says we all have equal protection, you're just substituting Jim Crow for Tim Crow!"

Person #1: "I invoke Vaughan's Law."
Person #2: "Dammit... you win...

Larry's Law

Named after the user VirtualLarry from the Anandtech message boards, this law defines that any internet discussion regarding GPUs or Videocards, given sufficient time, will devolve into an argument about GPU mining for cryptocurrency.

"Why do we always end up talking about genitals?"
"Flow's Law."
