Dacre's Law

Dacres's Law (or Dacre's rule of Daily Mail analogies) is an Internet adage asserting that "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving accusations of being a 'Daily Mail Reader' becomes highly likely."

The law is named after the infamous former editor of The Daily Mail, Paul Dacre, and can be applied when being accused of being a right-winger for showing concerns regarding immigration or transgenderism.
"I am concerened about Free Moment Of People, because it exploits a vulnerable migrant workforce and pushes wages down."
"Been reading The Daily mail, have you?"
"It's a bit early to be using 'Dacre's Law' isn't it?"
"Bigot!"

street law

1. DIY revenge law.
2. Inquisitorial law, finding someone guilty before you punish them, forcing them to have to prove their innocence for the punishment to stop.
3. When official police officers, prosecutors, and lawyers use subterfuge to attack someone with charge in the penal code to really punish you based on status (race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, political view)
1. Under street law, for talking to the police you would get at least 2 black eyes and a broken leg or arm, up to death.

2. Those prosecutors are using street law to accuse you of criminal trespass, to get at you for being black. Don't trust them!
3. When someone applies street law, you need to think about the reason you're getting iced. No one's gonna tell you why.

Philip's Law

Similar to Poe's Law, this was coined by popular Youtuber 3kliksphilip

"The best way to get attention, is to be a dick"

Refers to moments on the internet where being a dick baits a response from people, such as celebrities on social media. Similar to "there's no such thing as bad publicity"

law school

law school can be good if you keep up and are a swift reader, but it's horrible if you don't. you feel horrible like you could get a bad grade because there's a curve system and then kind of explode in tears.
the law school curve grading system makes me unhappy sometimes. when i was in high school, my good friend once told me "i hope everyone gets an A." this made me love and respect her so much, because she was so hard on herself and was valedictorian. now nobody is allowed to think like that, no matter how hard they work, not everyone can get an A in law school. it's devastating because we all came into law school with so much pride in our abilities and our acceptances into a school we love, and that sort of disintegrates with the curve system sometimes.
