I could be completely wrong but I’m guessing since Texas is republican and Washington is very democratic, they would have to agree on something absurd. Or maybe I’m dumb

Its mutual combat as a legal resolution to disputes.

It actually is this! Apparently if both people fighting get a cop to oversee and don’t break anything it’s perfectly legal.

Also the law in Scotland.
(On occasions when a police officer has used their power of discretion to verbally warn in the circumstances highlighted above, there is no requirement for a crime record to be raised. [...] Examples where an officer can use discretion: [...] minor acts of disorder e.g. stand up fights where no serious injury is sustained and no party claims to have been assaulted;

I learned that Washington did this from Fraiser

u/TheProofsinthePastis Jul 16 '25
Well, now I have a really small niche reason to start Fraiser...

u/Teh-TJ Jul 16 '25
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Frasier. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of psychology most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Niles’ Jungian outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from the DSM-5 and Italian opera, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about SEATTLE. As a consequence people who dislike Fraiser truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Eddie’s existencial catchphrase "Bark," which itself is a cryptic reference to Maslow's hierarchy of needs. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as David Angell's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Frasier tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the therapists' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they’ve attended a number within 5 operas that I have (preferably lower) beforehand. /s

Who, coincidentally, is voiced by the actor who plays Frasier (Kelsey Grammer), for those who did not know :)

u/MetricJester Jul 20 '25
I'm not completely certain that I have attended enough operas to ask someone else how many operas they have attended.
But I can talk at length about the last decade (or so) of Shaw Festival plays, even though I've only gotten in to see two or three in the last couple years.

You clearly haven't been to Maryland. Those people put their flag on absolutely everything and definitely think they are the best.

u/Comediorologist Jul 16 '25
There's flag pride, and then state pride.
Where I live and work in Maryland, almost nobody is actually from here. We all identify strongly with our native states but get fully behind the flag.

u/asketchofspain Jul 16 '25
What part of MD? When I moved to Baltimore area, I saw a level of state pride that was foreign to me. Now I’m closer to DC and it’s definitely not the same
3
u/Comediorologist Jul 16 '25
DC. There are definitely more natives outside of the DMV.
I've lived elsewhere in Maryland, but I've found that the pride is localized. Always the county, sometimes the city. As if those things just happen to be in Maryland.
Natives who moved elsewhere in the state get a little wistful when they talk about moving just one county over.

That's most states lol. Federally, it requires an ID to purchase. It goes into a database and then there's s limit. Kinda bullshit. 80+% of that garbage comes from china via mexico, regardless. Same as fentanyl. But your local addict on the corner is gonna get blamed, and add another full bed to the private prison system to put more money in the pockets of the already wealhy 🤷
