A law based on a thought by Larry Kindred in 2016, which states that nothing ever happens without a reason for it's occurrence; there are no coincidences as everything is either a repeat of last events, or as a result of a catalyst.

Similar to Godwin's Law, as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of the discussion descending into ad hominem attacks and nonsense fuelled by apparent hatred or dislike of someone's comment approaches .
That is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will begin making insults or start yelling about Hillary Clinton/Trump/Russia/shills or similar in order to distract and lead to forum-slide.
Coined on reddit in 2018 and named after a reddit user with the same name, Cencorme's Law originally referred specifically to subreddit discussions. It is now applied to any threaded online discussion, such as Internet forums, chat rooms, and comment threads, as well as to speeches, articles, and other rhetoric occurs.
When such an event occurs, the person guilty of invoking Cencorme's Law has effectively forfeited the argument.

A law that is so stupid and profoundly inadequate but remains in existence because it gives lawmakers an erection when considering its monetary benefits. Erection law. Look for it in your textbooks.
Oh, you're a sociopath and want to act as your own defense in court? Sure! Erection Law!
Or basically all laws that involve a plea bargain that gives you an inadequate sentence to an intolerable offense. See: manslaughter.
