An action being “punishable by a fine” basically means “legal for rich people”.
Oh wow. That’s…
I once dated a rich guy and if I said “Hey it’s illegal to drink on the street” he’d respond with “Nah, it just costs £150″, or “You can’t park here!” “Yeh I can it costs £35″ like… literally… that’s how he saw fines, it was just how much you paid to do the thing.
Reminds me of the double red lines in London. They exist because rich people kept parking on double yellow lines (which mean “no parking” in the UK) and then just paying the fines. So London started putting double red lines on major roads. If you park on double red lines, they don’t give you a ticket. They tow your car away and crush it.
Some people on this site have such a warm and kind presence that it genuinely brightens my entire day every time I see them cause it’s a reminder of all the lovely people that are out there waiting to be met someday… it helps me keep going
me, an ugly: *can’t make friends*, *can’t get into relationships*, *is second choice for everything*, *can’t get away with most outfits*, *can’t take pictures featuring myself*, *has severe trust issues over anyone seemingly liking me* ok
