Cousin Davey's Law

As an online discussion about gun control grows longer, the probability that a Republican will mention crime in Chicago approaches 1. When this occurs, the Republican has lost the argument.

Assault weapons must be banned.
They are banned in Chicago. How is that working out for you Dems. - Cousin Davey
You just lost the argument under Cousin Davey's Law.

Cencorme's Law

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.

redditor a: "I really disliked EA's latest game release"

redditor b: "Blame the Trump and Russians for that. They worked together to influence the developers..."

redditor a: "Classic case of Cencorme's Law"

Bic's Law

Bic's Law states that 1.) No matter how many lighters you buy, there will always be times of abundant lighters, and there will always be times of no lighters.
2.) There will always be a lighter when you are in need
3.) If there are no lighters to be found ask the person on your right again.

Right before we found a lighter We recalled Bic's Law. We had a laugh, forgot about it and then found the lighter on the table.

Yui's Law

Originating from hit MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV (GCBTW), the law states that the more Ultimates (the highest/most difficult tier of content available) a person has cleared, the worse a player becomes due to arrogance, snobbery, and general "I don't give a fuck" attitude. The term was coined in a Discord call by resident elitist "Yui Mikazuki" when she noticed those making the most mistakes were "Heavens' Legends BTW".

This RDM can't figure out TItan gaols even with automarkers. "Heavens' Legend BTW". Yui's Law in effect.

The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy

To date, the only graduate school dedicated to international relations where the majority of students are not hyper-competitive, pretentious, or trust-fund babies. Students choose two concentrations (international security, human security, international development, international legal studies, etc.) and submit a thesis in their final semester. The Fletcher School is affiliated with Tufts University, but maintains autonomy in its course offerings, fundraising and programmatic events.

To further his career with the Bangladeshi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ahmed decided to study environmental politics and conflict resolution at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.
