I really don't know how they don't understand the very simple concept that you can't force someone into a contract.

But it was nice of him to not charge a fee to keep people updated, I guess.

When you understand something so well, that you now overstand it, to the point it's taking up too much brain real estate.

If you have not watched Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, you'll enjoy it.

But the gubment forced us into a contract of indentured servitude under the social security gold standard emancipation proclamation​!

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 months ago

I was forced into free agent indentured servitude by virtue of being born without capital.

It's all based on the articles of confederation or wtv where it was a bit more free and wild, people had these kinds of rules and contracts between them. Nothing like this of course.

Basically they think an old government piece of paper that has wording they prefer outweighs the government piece of paper they don't. (The one they don't have to pay for, but still get alll the benefits).

"By your performance, we mutally agree". "It is now effective due to their performance."

Is "performance" some kind of magic word? On the surface, and also under the surface, this doesn't make any sense.

You can, but there's relative limits on it. Basically every ToS does this.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

No, you still have to agree to the ToS. They can't force you. All they can do is say that you cannot access the software or service if you don't agree to it. No one can force you to agree to a contract. That's just not how contract law works.

Imagine if the tow truck guy was ALSO a sov cit and he took the contract and did the sovcit magic and signed his name in red ink at a 45 degree angle on this contract lol. Do you think the original guy would be like "hmm OK yup, you got me" or would he double-down?

It's legal language. You wouldn't overstand it.

Oh, he's a bright one.

Won't work, he got the protection spell wrong, there is no "Unitided States."

"To the Police or whom it may concern,

By arresting or detaining me you hereby agree to the contract by which I can do anything I want. Any instance of your intent to prevent or punish me is heretofore subject to a $58,000,000,000 (fifty eight billion dollar) penalty."

Right fellas, it's ~~crime~~ freedom time

[-] Fades@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Thank god the moron wrote out the number values (.00 cents btw!!!) and then immediately after wrote out the same information but in English. This isn’t a fucking check you dumbfuck, who exactly is getting any value out of doing that?

Maybe you shouldn’t hand write a goddamn “contract” if you’re soooo worried someone might come fudge the numbers you wrote down! Shit, at that point just write out the numbers in English and skip the numerical version altogether. Literally wasting their own time.

[-] __Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago

I imagine they think it makes the hand written contact look more official. Is it hand written to be like calligraphy? Or do they just not have a printer. Actually I think every physical writing I've seen from sovcits has been hand written. Is that another of their things?

How the fuck do you spell "United" incorrectly? The Constitution and the 14th Amendment? Where do they think the Amendments are?

I do love "overstand" though.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

What if they pay him with one of those coupons they like so much?

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 14 points 3 months ago

I'm now gonna use the word, "overstand" when someone over explains something to the point where they lose me again.

[-] morgan_423@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Making magical gestures ..."By your performance, we mutually agree to the binding terms of this contract!"

Hogwarts instructor: No, you must abbreviate that, it's much too lengthy, and you'll be counterspelled. Try this instead: "Contractus Bindero!"

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

I overstand. I overstand completely.

[-] Kraiden@kbin.earth 4 points 3 months ago

I take "overstand" to be an antonym of "understand" in which case: Yes, I overstand as well.

[-] CPMSP@midwest.social 10 points 3 months ago

This is the equivalent of spam -- "NOW IN REAL LIFE! ™"

Did they illegally park while selling dick pills?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I don't know, but there's a very good chance they illegally parked while also avoiding child support payments.

Dude’s gonna be a millionaire.

[-] DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 8 points 2 months ago

Why don't I see sovcits demanding fees of the range of 100s of millions of dollars? If they are going to try and insert these beliefs into reality then why not try to become billionaires along the way?

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Sometimes they do, here's a snippet from a child protection case in Alberta.

[-] DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 6 points 2 months ago

Quadrillion dollars!? That's what I'm talking about!

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

And who is going to enforce it?

[-] Subverb@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Well, depending on the violation, various governm... OH, I see what you did there!

[-] Limonene@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

I wonder if part of the magic is being hand-written. Would it not work as well if it was typed? Does it matter what color ink or what type of paper you use? Or am I totally on the wrong track, and this person just prefers writing over typing?

Either way, I find it incredibly tragic. Seems like their car was involuntarily towed, which is already a bad situation, and this is going to make things worse. At best, it will cause delays.

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

The angled writing is almost certainly part of the magic, since they think is is for signatures.

[-] Canadian_anarchist@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Unlike other sovcit chicken scratch, this person's writing is actually legible.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 3 months ago

The third person in this montage is a sovcit who wants $500 to reveal his name. What a deal!
