Diamond Rule

The Diamond Rule is a behavioural philosophy developed by Drew McPherson and is a key part of his Equilism project. It is similar to the Golden Rule but with a crucial difference which is designed to add diversity tolerance. The Diamond Rule instructs one to "Treat others as they wish to be treated". It is critically important to understand that not everyone wishes to be treated in the same way. This becomes more evident with life forms of greater diversity. Accepting diverse preferences, and not assuming that everyone will have the same preferences as yourself is a key cultural norm to instill in order to eliminate diversiphobia.

When you assumed that EllEn wanted to be treated the same as you, you were failing to follow the Diamond Rule which acknowledges that EllEn may have difference preferences than yourself.

Rule of thumb

A rule of thumb is a general guideline or basic principle that people use based on experience, not an exact rule or law.

The origin of the phrase likely comes from using the thumb as a quick measuring tool (about an inch wide)

“As a rule of thumb, if pasta sticks to the wall, it’s done cooking.”

Ja rule

Of all the artists that pretended to be his best friend in the late 90's and early 2000's, not one of them came to his defense when the 600 pound gorilla 50 cent started to bully him. Not Jasper-Z, not DMX the bring it to the yard dude, none of those guys were going to stand up to 50 cent, it was almost like they enjoyed seeing Ja Rule spiral downward, it was like they ordered popcorn for the show. You wouldn't really want guys like DMX or Jay-Z by your side if 50 cent walked in to the bar ready to fight somebody in real life if their real life behavior is anything like what they do with their "friend" in the music industry.

Ja rule is the kind of guy nobody who knew him remembers now, and if they weren't alive or were young (single digit years) around the millenium, they most likely never even heard of the guy. He had about five minutes if that much in the spotlight then nobody heard from him since.
