This sub is for:

Hypothetical questions.
Friday Shitposting
All other discussions about r/legaladvice posts that go a bit too far afield to remain on topic -- non-legal tangents, related but different experiences, social, political or cultural aspects -- pretty much anything.

The moderators tread lightly here, but "offtopic" in the name of the sub does not mean that anything goes. Please abide by the following rules:

Do not ask for specific legal advice. This sub is for general off-topic legal discussion. If you need legal advice, please post to the main sub, r/legaladvice. If you decide to post there, first read the rules.
Be Civil. We're generally light-handed with moderation in this subreddit, but personal attacks and harassing comments will be removed.
Stay on topic. Don't derail threads by posting your own crazy story that has nothing to do with it.
No doxxing. While it is okay to post published situations, disclosing the names or information of otherwise-anonymous parties, users, etc., is strictly forbidden.
No embargoed Topics. We currently do not allow questions about self-defense.

We also ask you to obey the sitewide rules of Reddit.
