I’m Italian. They don’t. Rules are divided between punishment systems I can cheat, punishment systems I have to actively sabotage for the moral good, and good suggestions for community life.

I live in Germany, where people believe in rules. Not believing in rules is like having superpowers that bend reality.

since I’m not a 1%er printing my own indulgences, it’s pretty abundantly clear

Of course I do, what kind of uncivilized swine do you take me for? Everyone has to follow rules. In fact, I am such a fan of rules, that I made up my own set of rules to follow.

Oh, I know. I just don’t care.

Yes

Of course they apply to me. It’s everyone else they don’t apply to.

Absolutely. At some point during adulthood I started to think, “Wait, if other people can make unfair rules that favor them only, I could make those too!”.

The other day I realized that rules only exist because some asshole did something that made the someone else think “yeah, that’s not cool”.

If everyone could just stop being assholes, we wouldn’t need them!

i prefer protractors over rulers

Rules are meant to be broken

Nah, have not got a single letter yet

Only the rules that enforce consequences

yeah, and then i think about how i can pretty much do whatever I want anyways

I am not hiring, and I never reply to the résumés.
