jump to expanded posthas matt mullenweg ever heard of “promissory estoppel”. that's the legal concept in common law that you can't promise something and then go back on your word if someone actually relied on that promise. just. throwing that one out there
one of my favourite legal terms btw. both of those words feel very made up, especially estoppel. if a court decides to use this against you, they… estop you. you are estopped. not making that up. it's real and the concept it describes is actually very straightforward
@hikari it sounds to me like a kind of food made out of the concept of stop. Probably French. Estoppel of laches and mixed chives
@mcc conceptually a youtube poop of this but the output is food
