@anroy_research Fair! I'm praying hard to the gods for a patch of good weather over my home, a rise in the yen's value, and that Kimi Onoda finally gets a girlfriend.
@ryu9uv Examples:
- Legal obligation to try to wear bicycle helmet.
- Crossing stopping line in a car after light turns red.
In actuality, almost nobody wears bicycle helmets & almost every driver allows themselves 1-2 seconds after the lights turn red. The "rules" differ from the law.

@ryu9uv I'm guessing you don't live in Japan, or you would know that sometimes the law is directly opposed to what 99% of people do. In such situations, "the rule" is typically understood to be with the 99%.
🇮🇱 Speaking at the UN, Benjamin Netanyahu rebukes France and Britain for their legacy of colonialism.
"Who's accusing us of colonialism? People in Britain and France... Their colonialism razed the entire globe."

@ryu9uv@leeneogeo@CaughtIn4KHQ rather than be rude, should emphasize that "the rules" are 99% just what others do. ppl cross road all the time. in this case it is just some old guy wanting to aggro a foreigner. if it were a foreigner used to Japan's rules (i.e. like me), they would just ignore the old man
