I made a bunch of mistakes on my driving test, but they passed me anyway since my mom made me take my test on my 16th birthday and the instructor felt bad for me. I proceeded to get into 2 car accidents in my first year driving. I got pretty good at it eventually, and haven’t had any major issues since then, but I definitely would’ve benefited from a bit more practice before being given free rein.

That’s a fair point. I was thinking it was kinda like being the technical prince of the Ottoman empire or some other country that no longer exists - a neat factoid to talk about, but otherwise not really relevant.
I mean, if killing a person or making them fall in love with you are against the rules, it seems that you’re not meant to use wishes to fuck with people. Sure, Jafar does, but he’s the villain - given Genie’s good nature, I’d imagine he wouldn’t let his wishes do that unless the wisher specifically forced it, which Aladdin wouldn’t do.
Fucking with people by making them suddenly be a citizen of a completely new country, or suddenly not be the ruler of the country they previously ruled would probably be something Genie would avoid, and Aladdin wouldn’t press him on it, even if it’s not specifically covered under the quick list of rules Genie gave.
I always thought he was a “fake prince” because he was the prince of a country that didn’t exist. Like, sure, you’re the prince of this nonexistent country, see how far that gets you I guess. Otherwise Genie would either have to make new land out of nowhere somehow, or displace people who already lived/ruled in a location, which seems somewhat against the rules.

I got really good at it in college, since I worked the morning shift at FedEx from 2-8, then had classes all day. If I didn’t develop the ability to get a nap in between classes I’d never have been able to pay attention. Can’t do it anymore though - it might’ve been that I was just exhausted enough back then to sleep on command, or maybe it’s just easier when you’re young.
