Something that varies very vastly from country to country. For example, the US has very strict drinking laws in which people can be charged with under age drinking if they’re under the age of 21 and bartenders will obsessively ask for ID until their late 20s, where as in Mexico a 15-year-old can asl for alcoholic beverages without even being asked for ID even though the drinking age is 18.
*example of drinking laws*
(USA)
20-year-old & 11 months: can I have a small glass of corona
bartender: ID
20-year-old & 11 months: (shows ID)
bartender: Woah Woah Woah! You’re not allowed to drink here. Come back in exactly 25 days then I can serve you until then though fuck off
(Mexico)
15-year-old: Can a have a glass of tequila with a pint of gin, the strongest of course
bartender: Oh what the hell why not

normies demand every character be deeply fleshed out and morally ambiguous
when obvious villains and heroes create compelling narratives
I've seen normies unironically complain that you're "forced" to be the warrior of light in FFXIV
this says a lot about society when people can't relate to heroes
:jocker:

:hesrightjocker: :jocker:
an ambiguous complex relationship where the hero and villain can agree on some things and disagree on others is more interesting then a straightforward simple "durr u kill peepo u bad i kill u :brainlet: "
straightforward good vs. evil scenarios are demonstrative of black and white thinking
black and white thinking people are not creative and can't create interesting narratives or scenarios
that's not to say you can't have a black and white scenario from time to time, situations that are fairly straightforward like that do occur
but if it's your bread and butter then it's cringe :gangcringe~2:

Get the Nif's lawmug. Clarke’s Third Law is probably the best known and most widely cited of the three and states that “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Just as an aside the others are:
1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

Get the Clarke’s Third Lawmug. Genghis Khan developed the Yassa code of laws. There were a lot of laws that existed in the Yassa code, but the most significant are listed below:
- There is only one God
- All religions are to be respected and the government should show no preference to any one religion
- Under penalty of death, no man can proclaim himself to be emperor unless he has been elected by a council of Mongol Nobles
- Homosexuality is punishable by death
- Adultery is punishable by death
- Children of concubines are legitimate and should receive their fair share of heritage from their father
- No subordinate or official of the Mongol Empire is allowed to take a Mongol in as a slave. All men (with rare exceptions) must join the army
- If a soldier pillages during war before the commanding officer has given him permission, he shall be put to death. But after the permission to pillage has been given to the soldier, he shall be given the same opportunity to carry off his loot as the officer.
- Leaders of a religion (preachers, monks, etc.), physicians, and those who bathe the bodies of the dead are to be freed from public charges.
- It is illegal to cut the throats of animals that are to be slain for food. Instead, the animals are to be bound, have their chest opened, and their hearts pulled out and squeezed by the hunter.

"If one must drink, then let one drink thrice a month, for more is bad. If one gets drunk twice a month, it is better; if one gets drunk once a month, that is better still; and if one doesn't drink at all, that is the best of all." -Genghis Khan
Genghis Khan's Laws were heavily influenced by Mongol morality, and philosophy.

Get the Genghis Khan's lawsmug. 21st Century US laws that restrict voter turnout among minorities and people with limited incomes.
In Shelby County v. Holder, 2013, the US Supreme Court declared parts of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 unconstitutional in a 5-4 decision. The majority opinion was written by Chief Justice John Roberts. Only justices appointed by Republican presidents voted to strike down the law.
Chief Justice Roberts later wrote in McCutcheon: There is no right more basic in our democracy than the right to participate in electing our political leaders.
McCutcheon removed aggregate spending limits on campaign contributions.
Linda Greenhouse @ NY Times noted: Roberts's subject then was the right to spend money in politics, not the right to vote. If people conclude that the current Supreme Court majority cares more about the first than the second — surely a logical inference — the court will have entered a dangerous place.
After Shelby, many states with a history of poll bias - previously ended by the Voting Rights Act - passed laws designed to suppress voter turnout. These laws include so-called Voter ID laws, reductions in early voting, and restricting acceptable ID to ID more often held by Republicans - for example, Texas polls accept gun licenses, but not state college ID.
In honor of Chief Justice John Roberts opinion in Shelby, and the similarity of laws that followed to Jim Crow laws, these laws are now known as John Roberts Laws, aka Voter Suppression Laws or the Republican Poll.

Republicans were embarrassed by undemocratically winning a gerrymandered House majority while losing the popular vote for it in an un-American fashion, so they declared a fake mandate and passed a bunch of John Roberts Laws to punish and disenfranchise the people who voted against them.
