Internet Badass Syndrome

An affliction that causes people to say things to people over the distance of an Internet connection that, if they ever DARED to say to a person in a face-to-face conversation, would likely result in them getting knocked on their ass and maybe a trip to the hospital, but behind the safety of their monitor where nobody can physically touch them, they can behave like complete and utter shitbirds with no consequences, because as we all know, the Internet isn't real, of course, and the person you're mouthing off to isn't a real human being, with emotions of their own.

It is closely related to the similar affliction that causes people to become total sociopaths when behind the wheel of a car, where they are similarly safe from physical retribution.
If the technology were invented tomorrow to make it possible to punch a person in the face over TCP/IP, Internet Badass Syndrome would vanish almost overnight, and the Internet would be the most civil, polite place ever.

The Internet Law of California

A common social media principle that states the following:

On any post or other social media content that has even the slightest reference or mention of California, it is guaranteed that at least 1 person will comment about how the state is a shithole.

These commenters are usually from those who aren't from California and/or have never visited. Or from people who have visited the big cities of California or those who are jealous.

Typically, these comments vary from the following categories:

- California being a liberal/blue state

- California being infested with homeless

- Californian is a communist state

Remarks usually remain within these 3.
