The International Dibs act of 1866 was ratified by 36 countries, including the United States of America, Mexico, Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, and England. This act entitles the first representative of any country or individual or individual group to call “Dibs” (from the Latin ‘Dibimus’ meaning ‘to call ownership before others’) on any unclaimed item or position that has been set before the representative. It is essential to the act that “Dibs” is claimed, and without claiming “Dibs” one may not enact the International Dibs act of 1866
German Representative: “My fellow representatives; my country offers forward 189 Liters of beer to good will”
French Representative: “Nous le voulons!”
American Representative: “ I call “Dibs” based on the ‘International Dibs Act of 1866’...thank you for your 50 gallon donation”
French representative: “Merde!”
French Representative: “Nous le voulons!”

An often repeated theatrical routine performed by certain types of hipsters, which is consciously and meticulously rehearsed in advance. While everyone experiences depression, and experiences it in different ways, hipsters often seek to externalize their negative emotions in a manner designed to give the impression that they are more complicated and interesting than the everyday, garden variety hipster. Recurring themes include: sprinkling conversation with Keats references, wearing tight-fitting and threadbare Joy Division t-shirts, and getting inebriated on expensive cognacs every single night of the week. As with all hipster routines, the ‘depressed, complicated hipster act’ is nothing more than a tiresome fashion aesthetic, as well as a pretentious, stilted attempt at projecting a unique persona.
Normal dude #1: Should we call Simon and see if he wants to grab a burger and a few beers?
Normal dude #2: Actually, Simon doesn’t eat anymore—it’s his latest thing. And, no, don’t call him. I’m getting tired of his depressed, complicated hipster act. We can’t afford to drink in his bars, anyway.

This occurs after you make the first date after meeting online through social media. Everything has been going great until you meet in person and then your date “reads the riot act” firmly setting out their terms for how the dating and further relationship should progress.
Phil met Meghan on their first date only to be read the riot act, stating that she did not kiss on the first date, what days of week she was available, how he was to dress when they dated, the types of events she expected him to attend, etc.

A legal statute in Canada that affords a defendants ability to a fair trial. With the invocation of it, defendants are allowed to express themselves at a court level to avoid a mistrial. Some of the most common rights granted by this act are the abilities to smoke and swear in court
Ricky: "Your majesty, I would like to make a request under the People's freedom of choices and voices act that I be able to smoke and swear in your court. If I can't smoke and swear in your court, I can't represent myself at a court level and that's a fuckin' mistrial!"
Judge: "Richard, you have permission to smoke and swear in my courtroom, but please be advised, this is not a carnival."

A policing reform bill drafted by Democrats in the United States Congress. The legislation aims to make it illegal for law-enforcement officers to attempt to apprehend criminals. This bill, named after a deceased career criminal who resisted lawful arrest, is labeled as the first step in Democrats, liberals, and progressives attempting to defund and eliminate police. Authors of the legislation hope to have a society with no accountability for crime, and high drug use, without repercussions. If signed into law, the bill will make it a felony for law-enforcement officers to attempt to apprehend, or defend against violent resistance, criminals who routinely victimize people of society.
When officers arrived at the robbery in progress at the liquor store, the criminal invoked the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, while holding the store clerk hostage and waving a stolen pistol around. Officers were forced to leave the scene and let the victim take care of himself.
