"When you tell people your goals you don’t achieve them." - Garry Newman.
Since I'm unable to post a link to his blog I will quote him:
I’ve made this point before, years and years ago. But I couldn’t find where I wrote it. So here it is again.
There’s a lot of reasons you shouldn’t tell people your idea. They might not like it. They might like it and steal it. They might convince you it’s a bad idea. They might convince you to change it into something else.
The biggest reason to keep your goal a secret is that once you start talking about something you’re going to do you don’t have to do it. In your mind you will have already done it. Their positive reaction to your idea is the reward. Actually doing the work seems stupid at that point. There’s no big prize at the end of actually doing it because it’ll be exactly what everyone expected. Which means you probably won’t do it.
And then it reflects badly on you. Next time you have an idea people will be slightly less enthusiastic because none of you ideas ever turn into anything. They’re just ideas.
Much better to get your head down and then show them your idea. More work for a bigger pay off.
After his blogpost, his community called 'Facepunch' decided to call this principle "Garry's Law".

Originating from iFunny user "AllHailLordGarfield", Garf's law is when you visit somebody's account during an argument and it only add's strength to their argument, an inverse of Bidoof’s Law.

"Putin Law" (also called: "The Putin Laws"):
1. Is the "right" to invade a country because another country rejects a Russian Puppet leader.
2. The "right" to invade a country because there are Russian speakers or Russian "interest" (undefined).
3. To make light of military conflicts by Russian military.
4. To make light of criminals in Russia or abroad.
Putin Law: {actual comments by Putin}
(in regards to Soviet Union)
"First and foremost it is worth acknowledging that the demise of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century."
(in regards to rape in Europe)
"He raped 10 women. I never expected it from him. He surprised all of us. We all envy him."
(in regards to gays at the Winter Olympics)
"One can feel calm and at ease. Just leave kids alone, please."
(in regards to Ukraine President being ousted after shooting protestors)
"Russia reserved the right to use "all means" to protect compatriots who were living in "terror" in Ukraine."
"Mr Putin slammed the takeover of power in Ukraine as "anti-constitutional" and an "armed seizure of power" and said neo-Nazis, nationalists and anti-Semites were now active in the country."

Applies for hipster male specimen defending SJW bullshit in general when the entire dogma calls for them to chop off their penises
Airport's Law — Every day another goony beard-man gets the impression that a rainbow haired she-twink might let him cum in her if he defends feminism.

The one who has the bigger beard has the right of way.
The smaller beard, or one with no beard (also known as a "boy" not a man) must yield to the larger beard!
A man (bearded) and a boy (the un-bearded) walk up to a door at the same time,
Boy: excuse me sir!
Man: thank you (walks ahead of him in bearded glory)
Boys wife: what just happened?
Boy: it's beard law... I had to yield!

Everyone on the internet is male until proven otherwise.
"I just met this chick on the internet and we're gonna hook up."
