The world can sometimes feel like a nasty and sad place. It can seem hard to really make a change or fix things, many problems just seem pretty big or too complicated. However, as some people point out online, “you can just do stuff,” although sometimes that means breaking a few rules here or there.

The “Chaotic Good” online community is dedicated to sharing those wholesome moments where people decided to right some injustice their own way. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to detail your own experiences and exploits in the comments below.

RELATED:

    If this is the first time you hear about chaotic good and it sounds like this implies the existence of lawful good (or even evil) then you are in luck, you guessed correctly. Folks familiar with table-top roleplaying (most famously, Dungeons and Dragons) will recognize the terms from what is called “character alignment.”

    In short, one can be good, neutral or even evil. A bit reductive, perhaps, but there is always some value in simplicity. There is also an x axis to one’s moral y axis, namely, being “lawful” or, as seen here, “chaotic.” In short, it’s a reflection of the means someone is willing to go to achieve some ends.

    Oh, OH, I wish I knew this at my old place. I know it would likely get the whole building shut down quickly, displacing a lot of people. However, so many people have already moved and some who have stayed would have been better off staying elsewhere. One old neighbour just abandoned her suite, it got that bad.

    As this list shows, “chaotic” isn’t necessarily bad in a world that can feel overwhelmed with rules and regulations. Folks who are “chaotic good” are willing to bend rules and circumvent norms to achieve positive outcomes. The idea being that a wholesome ending is worth putting the work in to solve some issue, even if it might cost you.

    I got nearly knocked over by an executive type at a rental car agency in Atlanta, and by the time I recovered he had gotten to the counter and said "I'm x and have a compact reserved." The next position opened and I went and said "I'm Trebor and I have a compact reserved." Clerk had seen the scuffle at the door, went to get a key, came back and said in a nice clear voice "I'm sorry Mr Trebor. We just rented our last compact." She gave me a Lincoln Town Car, and waived the Savannah drop charge. I had a nice smile for X as I put my bags in that very nice car.

    I can't find any updates on what's happened since he was released on bond the day after his arrest but I did find this: "Blitch’s parents are both lawyers: his father is a solo practitioner, while his mother is senior counsel at The Coca-Cola Company and a board member of the Georgia Justice Project, a criminal justice reform group." This is the kind of thing that wealth and privilege *should* be used for!

    I'll never understand this. Nirvana lasted longer than the Confederacy. Also, we used to own a cottage in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We're from Ohio so the locals called us Yankees. I've never heard someone from the north refer to southerners as Rebels. Makes no sense. You lost. Get over it.

    The use of the word "Yankee" for someone from the North predates the Civil War. Outside the USA, Yankee means "American". In the USA, a Yankee is someone from the North. In the North, a Yankee is someone from New England. In New England, it's someone from New York. In New York, according to some sources (like the Complete Oxford English Dictionary), after England traded their territories in Patagonia for the Dutch colony in North America, they renamed New Amsterdam "New York", and "Yankee" was a term used by British immigrants for the original Dutch people who lived in the city. One legend has it that the Dutch used to call the British John Bull (after the character for England in newspapers). The British retorted that at least they HAD a character, but they would create a character for the Dutch: John Cheese. The Dutch then turned this around, adopting it into their own language: Jan (pronounced Yan) Kees. Probably not true, but charming nonetheless.

    The flag represented the 11 states that seceded from the United States to form the Confederate States of America (CSA) during the American Civil War. The secession was prompted by the election of Abraham Lincoln, who argued that slavery should not be extended to new territories
