Any speed above the speed limit is speeding. And any speed below the speed limit is impeding the flow of traffic.
Vehicles would never be able to get up to speed.
Since the speedlimit is exact and vehicle speed is not, everyone constantly gets fined for being too fast or too slow.
Reckless assholes drive faster than I, stupid fucktards drive slower than I. I drive perfect.
Sounds like a Wayside School Rule
Stay on the left when going up, stay on the right when going down; the red elevator only goes up and the blue one only goes down.
This reminded me of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld. So many characters are like this.
Indeed.
“With a good fake nose, no one remembered anything but the nose, afterwards.”
Or, for that matter, The Patrition. Best portrayal of intelligent lawful neutral ever.
Patrician
but yes
Yes, sorry, quie right.
“One man. One vote.”
Vetenari spends one entire book locked in his own dungeons and does not give a dang. He knows the city will come crawling back.
@mindbleach @Thisfox but didn’t he also train the rats to do his bidding while in his own dungeon, and then reveal at the end of the book that he actually had a secret escape tunnel built into those dungeons when he made them (meaning he simply stayed in his dungeon because he chose to)
Sounds about right. He was never possessed of an idle personality.
See this is the problem with Lemmy. I want to tag this or even crosspost this to a Pratchett place (“unexpectedpratchett” or similar) but a) I haven’t found a populated one, and b) I can’t just type in its name if I have one or guess its name like you can in other media, and c) even if I did, the link won’t work for everyone, and those it will work for are often (like me) sent out-of-app to a browser if they successfully click on the damn thing. Frustration.
a) should resolve itself overtime with both features and people
b) is something devs should be working on, or at least I heard that they are working on better cross-instance community search
c) this is currently my gripe too, on Android jerboa does offer opening any https:// links in the app but it rarely works or you have to do it twice for whatever reason.Though I get the frustration.
The “critical mass” argument only makes sense if there’s a critical mass in the future. There might never be one. People might give up threaded-discussion platforms before this ever makes it.
I vote we go back to phpBB.
Nah, let’s go back to newsgroups
newsgroups are still around. we just don’t use then for discussion much anymore.
You can very easily write cross instance links if you weren’t aware, e.g. !memes@lemmy.world – this works on desktop (opens the community on your instance instead of the instance the community is on, so you stay logged in) and on every mobile client I’ve seen
Good Evil - Villain who ends up doing good whilst trying to do evil.
Evil Good - Hero who ends up fucking shit up so poorly, people think he’s evil.
Neutral-Neutral - Not to be confused with True Neutral, these characters are just extremely indecisive.
Neutral neutral Chidi wants a word with you
Well, he might. He’s not sure yet.
I feel like Dr. Doofenshmirtz can fall under both categories haha
Exactly who I thought of too haha

Lawful Chaotic is a union strategy lol
Germans (of course) have a term for it: “Dienst nach Vorschrift” (work by the book).
It’s a way for government officials to strike even though they don’t have the right to strike and can’t form a union.
They simply apply every single regulation concerning their work to the letter, grinding everything to a halt.Malicious compliance
“Byzantine Clerics must enter and exit all buildings through windows on the second Tuesday of the month. It is written.”
I gotta get in shape. They keep making new buildings.
The first one is just chaotic neutral, the second one is lawful evil.
i have a strict moral code but nobody can figure out what the hell it is
Sounds like it could be used for encryption.
I am absolutely this in real life.
I am lucky that i live somewhere where most laws do make enough sense to act within them on a daily basis but the second they cross my personal ideals there just as useless like any old religious text. Il accept whatever consequence there can be in order to stay true to myself. (Except endangering others).
“You mean the fifth?”
“No, the third.”
“You refuse to quarter troops in your house?”
“I have few principles, but I stick to them.”
Pretty sure we used to call the second one Lawful Stupid…
Could also be Malicious Compliance.
Jackpot if the person with Lawful Chaotic alignment is a lawmaker.
I make my own laws, that’s why I’m Chaotic Lawful.
III. And Arnold Bros (est. 1905) said, Let there be Signs, so that All within shall know the Proper Running of the Store.
IV. On the Moving Stairs, let the Sign Be: Dogs and Pushchairs Must be Carried;
V. And Arnold Bros (est. 1905) waxed wroth, for many carried neither dog nor pushchair.
It changes to fit the circumstance
