tacit law

Read a random definition: TPPM

A quick definition of tacit law:

Tacit law is a type of law that is not written down in a book or created by a government. Instead, it comes from people's agreement or consent. It is like an unspoken rule that everyone follows because they believe it is the right thing to do. For example, when you go to a friend's house, you take off your shoes before entering. There may not be a law that says you have to do this, but it is a tacit law that everyone follows to show respect for the friend's home.

A more thorough explanation:

Tacit law is a type of law that is not written down in a statute or legal code, but is instead based on the consent and customs of a society. It is a law that is understood and followed by people without being explicitly stated.

For example, in some cultures, it is considered rude to speak loudly in public places. This is not a law that is written down, but it is a tacit law that is understood and followed by members of that society. Similarly, in some workplaces, there may be an unwritten rule that employees should dress professionally. This is another example of tacit law.

Tacit law is important because it helps to regulate behavior and maintain social order, even in situations where there may not be a specific law or rule in place. It is based on the shared values and customs of a society, and is often enforced through social pressure rather than legal consequences.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?

Not worth the risk. Get a girl sick and she will remind you forever. Tell her whats up but do not share germs

Tell her you just got over a cold and if she wants to try and steal your germs its on her but no one likes being sick so hopefully she is chill
