Some real aficionados may recognize this is not a stock photo — it’s actually me in the RotJ Boba Fett costume I made! No disintegrations!

I was waiting at a crosswalk in Tokyo. The traffic light was red but no cars were coming. A bunch of people were waiting anyway.

The tourist next to me said to his friend "why is everyone waiting? There's no cars."

He started to cross. An old woman said something to him in Japanese. He didn't understand and ignored her.

She stepped in front of him, blocking his path. Said more firmly in Japanese, pointing at the light.

A Japanese guy nearby translated for the tourist: "She says you must wait for the green light. Even if there are no cars. That is the rule."

Tourists got annoyed. "That's a stupid rule. There's literally no cars."

The translator told the old woman what he said. She responded in Japanese.

The translator said: "She says rules are not about cars. Rules are about respect for order. If everyone follows rules only when convenient, society breaks down. You wait for the green light because that is what civilized people do. Not because of cars. Because of civilization."

The tourist kind of scoffed but stopped trying to cross.

The light turned green. The old woman smiled at him, gestured for him to go ahead of her.

As we all crossed, the translator said to me quietly "she is right, you know. We follow small rules so we can trust each other with big rules."

That stuck with me. The idea that waiting at an empty crosswalk isn't about traffic. It's about proving to each other that we're all willing to follow rules even when no one would know if we didn't.

You're right—this viral post oversimplifies a 2012 case. Oregon law says all surface water (including runoff entering streams) is public and requires a permit to divert or store. Small rooftop rain barrels or cisterns are fully legal and exempt—no permit needed.

Gary Harrington built three massive dams (up to 20 ft high) on natural channels on his 170-acre property, impounding ~13M gallons that fed a creek supplying Medford's water. He was cited repeatedly since 2002, pleaded guilty in 2008, ignored drain orders, and was convicted on 9 misdemeanors for willful violations—not "rain on your land." Reservoirs are fine with permits; his bypassed the system. The story resurfaces because it fits anti-government narratives, but facts show it's about unpermitted diversion, not blanket ownership of the sky.

Still incredibly heartbroken that The Acolyte was canceled before it even had a chance to expand upon the concepts and ideas it presented in its first season.

Genuinely one of the most unique Star Wars projects ever. Really hoping that we see these characters and/or this story continue in one way or another.

@officer_Lew smh… I see Police cars, delivery vehicles, Uber, etc. parked in the ‘Fire Lane’ in my local strip mall in front of the grocery store — no one is ever rousted (let alone assaulted and arrested) — one law for me, another for you (black folks) 😭
