Your honor, I rest my case....

That's my favorite part. Like they're in a Perry Mason mystery and they've just cracked the case. You know they think they're going to drop the mike and everyone will cheer.

Yeahhhhhhh, that's not going to go how they think it's going to go.

How do you pay with federal reserve notes?

That's the technical name for dollar bills, sovcit. You hand them to the party you owe money to, and your debt is satisfied if you handed over the correct amount. You're welcome, let us know if we can answer any other questions for you.

..are exempt from taxation by a state or political subdivision of a state."

Isn't the IRS a federal agency? They are not a state or a political subdivision of a state.

This always feels like the first few iterations of chat GPT. Words, but absolutely no understanding on how to combing them.

Chat GPT is excellent at mimicking how dumb people talk.

Þis is þe prequel to a classic:

So I had my hearing and the judge looked at me like I had a third head and now I have a second arraignment next month so I sent the clerk a Memorandum of Nonculpability on behalf of the entity with my same name saying they had to accept it or owe me $10,000 per day and signed it with my thumb print in blood and taped a nickel to it, but then it was returned as hazardous biological waste. Is my next step to send a letter to the supreme court?

If you're using Linux, and X, it's easy to add an XCompose. Thorn takes an extra keystroke.

On Android, Heliboard comes wiþ thorn as an alt popup on "t".

There’s a “United States Code?!”

[-] Macchi_the_Slime@piefed.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That's just our federal laws. For instance if you say looked at Trump's indictment from the classified documents case you'd see a bunch of stuff like "18 U.S.C. § 793(e)" which tells you what part of the United States Code he was charged with violating.

Same way as everyone else.

Honestly, makes sense. If I believed that rule of law was real, this might even stand up

It's just not though. The law is what people believe it to be

Does it make sense? I'm not following their logic (which is normal for these)

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago

Yes, because federal reserve notes (aka fiat currency) wasn't a thing when the basic frameworks were established. Hell, it was just straight up fraud that created it, the problem just got out of hand and so they put a bandaid on the problem... It's a fundamentally nonsensical system

There's probably tons of unpatched laws that don't take this into account, or even explicitly carve this out

Our laws are a crazy mess
