39. If you ever have the misfortune of appearing before a judge, do not plead ignorance. He/she will inform you that "ignorance of the law is no excuse." As the judge is basically the deity of the courtroom, politely apologize. I happen to agrees with you though. In the real world, it is an excellent excuse, as we all begin from a state of ignorance anyway. There is not a single individual who writes, enforces, or judges the law who could successfully name every law off to you. Laws are written by lawyers in their language so that no one can understand them without hiring a lawyer. The originals are kept in the lowest basement of the courthouse, disorganized, and locked in a filing drawer. The worst part is that the same government that mandates that you be educated does not bother to educate you in what you are expected to know. The laws are almost never listed easily online and if they are then the server is always down. They don't even bother to give you a pamphlet.
40. We are all childish but only a few of us are mature enough to admit it.
41. Be insulted when the censors and publishers dumb things down for American distribution. Not only does this demonstrate how lowly that they think of us but it prevents us from growing from new information. What is the difference if it is referred to as the philosopher stone or the sorcerer stone, it's fiction.? They knew it was fiction and that it didn't matter what it was called. The difference is that the philosopher stone was a real aim by alchemists throughout history. The 'sorcerer stone' was conceived of because of a concern that Americans would not get the reference. They kept you in the dark. Be very insulted.
42. No one will care about your hurt feelings as much or more than you do with the possible exception of your parents.
43. The corporation that employs you will (pardon my language) f**k you over at the worst possible time. They will refuse all of your pleads for the use of lubricant. For me it was R!+2 C@^^3r@... Ask me for translation as I'm not listening to my advice #42.
44. Vent your anger or it will explode at the worst possible time.
45. You are guaranteed to offend someone. At least one percent of everyone will be offended by what you say even when you are paying them a compliment. For some reason the censors generally focus on the one percent. Tell them that they are wrong. The free exchange of ideas is not only a necessary for a truly free society, it is just a good idea. We can always ignore the people we don't agree with but at least they spoke their mind.
46. Truth of logic (even in fiction): If the premises are true and the logic is valid, then the conclusion must be accurate (or sound). If you take issue with the conclusion, examine each premise for their truth and examine the validity of the logic for fallacies. If you can not take down the argument that way, reexamine your own conclusions using the same method as the problem may be there. In fiction, some of the rules are different than what we deal with but the principles of logic will still work within the context of the fiction.
47. If you ever are reading a post (here on this thread or anywhere on the site) that seriously bothers you, inform a moderator. While it may bug them a bit, it is far better to have the post or thread removed than risk the site being taken down. No one who reads the manga here will be upset about it since they would far more upset to lose the access here. If it happens to apply to this thread, I'll try to fix it so let me know ASAP and/or tell the moderator. While I would be saddened by the loss of all this work (and the potential benefit of all this advice), I read the manga here too. (Be fore warned, I do plan to touch on some things that are definitely toward the controversial side.)
48. Sometimes volumes of really good advice has some 'bad information' in it. Skip it and continue; just as you might a biblical passage that you take issue with.
49. Send important documents through WASTE rather than the standard postal carrier. There are plenty of drop locations around you if you know where to look. If you have no idea what that means than you probably weren't supposed to. If that happens to be the case, use registered mail and always get a signature confirmation, it should stand up in court if necessary.
50. There is probably no way that you will ever get to everything on the 'to do' list. Especially if you did not write it yourself. "Sorry, dear. I'll get right to that." Sound familiar?
