Victimless offenses hold because we’ve decided upon order as a society, and we rigidly hold to the order so that society doesn’t fray. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard “the downfall of society begins with the individual,” “the unique fork is useless,” “the nail that sticks out must be hammered down.”

We do this to ourselves in the hope that these litmus tests for maintaining basic societal decency hold fast. We do it cause the law is the law, and the social contract comes first.

Also every last single person’s music taste is cringe-worthy when emanating from a bluetooth or cell phone speaker on public transit. Even blaring Dolly Parton is a bad look.

edit: and use your damn blinkers. You bought them. Use them.
