because it rules

We need a new clueless hunk meme.

Chris Pratt is part of a homophobic church, and thinks casual transphobia is funny

Change my mind is Steven Crowder, as bad as Kirk was, Crowder is worse, by a magnitude I'd say. Im also not sure what the Tate preference is, I know of the Drake one, didn't follow it too closely but apparently turned out he's not a great guy either?

Casual transphobia with the intent to damage an entire community, vs, say calling a girl a penis in playground insult competition are complete worlds apart

I don't like the guy, but cmon - judge people on how they actively vote for/against your rights, and less on their careless remarks, lest you make a needless enemy out of a potential friend to your cause

That being said, his voting record raises some questionmarks, so hey

being a girl with a penis isnt an insult. using it as in insult is transphobic, no matter how harmless you think it is. also wtf are you talking about, voting records? hes a fucking celebrity what votes of his are being recorded? yeah judge people by their actions, like actively supporting a homophobic institution.

if only there was a button to click where you could see the rules

The rule of law

Its the law of rule

Afaik, it refers to rule one of this community:

You must post before you leave

folks would leave posts being like "I gotta follow the rule" and then it kinda just snowballed from there.

I think originally all post titles were literally just "rule" and then it loosened up from there

The comments so far have been far more helpful and informative than I was hoping for.

While we're asking questions, does the number 196 have any significance?

Its one higher than 195.

195 is a long deactivated precursor subreddit (there's also 197 that was created because some people didn't like 196 I think? 🤔), I was never there, don't ask me what the 195 means.

IIRC it was the apartment number of the original creator(s). "The apartment of AWESOME."

I looked it up once. It’s not that interesting. Just do it.

one rule to rule them all

It's the rule.
