You can buy a new house in my city for 10 silver coins, provided that each coin is worth $100,000.

Is a common law attorney someone who legally becomes your lawyer after you’ve lived with them for a certain amount of time

[–] CamelCityCalamity@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

Everyone thinks that's how it works, but you have to call them your lawyer, and they have to call you their client. You both have to behave like you're in that level of relationship. It's not automatic or forced just because you live together and have sex.

[–] Sciaphobia@sh.itjust.works 31 points 2 days ago (5 children)

I assume you know and are joking, but in case you (or someone else) doesn't know - sovcits commonly argue that courts have to operate under Common Law or Admiralty Law. They frequently try to get cases thrown out because that's not a thing so courts obviously refuse to call themselves either.

I've heard you can apparently buy a house with 10 silver coins, the original deed, 2 witnesses present and 2 secretaries present is this true?

Yes, this is true. Provided the seller is a dumb dumb who will accept 10 silver coins (~$400 USD) for a house while 4 of their friends watch in awe.

This is actually true, but you have to do it at a crossroads on the Monday nearest to the full moon, turn counterclockwise 3 times, and throw salt over your left shoulder.

I think you're thinking of learning how to play blues guitar.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Specifically blues guitar, I found that out the hard way. I wanted to shred some metal, but now all I can play is delta blues. I gave it a go for a while, but it’s just not my thing, totally killed my drive. Looking forward to hell. What a rip.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Classic monkey paw scenario. You're a guitar god...when it comes to 1920s Delta blues played exclusively on a shitty old resonator guitar.

Sadly no market for that kind of thing.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 45 points 2 days ago (2 children)

says a load of obvious nonsense

Is this true?

No, you gibbering buffoon.

Common law attorney = just some guy (no law degree)

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Kidnapping? No, it's common law imprisonment!

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s a citizens arrest followed by a citizens trial, citizens conviction, and citizens imprisonment.

21 years? Usually they stop at 7 unless they've got proof of fraud

[–] pno2nr@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes the leprechaun has to sell you his house for 10 silver coins but only if you have 2 witnesses

As someone who would also love to divorce myself from inter-subjective realities like “government” and “money” and “time of day” I appreciate these folks’ dedication.

[–] breecher@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It just seems extremely stressful to me. They create a fictional world through word magic in an attempt to escape reality, and the real world will constantly interfere because it is actually real unlike their fictional one. This again requires them to come up with even more word magic in a vain attempt to counter it, and so on until the real world interferes so concretely with them that they end up in jail.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

make sure to pick a conspiracy theory that doesn't matter, like venus being fake

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Conspiracy, really? Are you saying that you actually believe those LIEntists at NASA that we’ve got all these giant fucking rocks just floating around in the sky?

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

what the fuck do you think the rockets are for? they put the rocks up there because otherwise it'd be trivial to disprove.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

They’re going to hit the glass dome one of these days and then we’re all fucked, that’s what caused the great flood in the bible and it’s also how the dinosaurs killed themselves. The only thing to learn from history is that we don’t learn from history, SMH.

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 22 hours ago

i saw giant rocks floating around in james cameron's avatar movie and the man is a scientist so i believe it

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 55 points 2 days ago (6 children)

I kinda feel bad for this person. They're either incompetent or delusional to the point that they basically have a disability.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 41 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't.

IRS sending in letters about 21 years of scam back taxes I apparently owe them

Taxes are supposed to exist as a way to provide upkeep for infrastructure, government services, and social safety nets. Refusing to pay them while also still benefitting from tax-funded infrastructure and services is just being a parasite on society.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 days ago

Yes. These people are looking for cheat codes so they can avoid their responsibilities.

Every sovcit post is just chock-full of words being used oddly.

It's not a car, it's a conveyance.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 2 points 21 hours ago

Buncha idiots.

Sea-going vessels don't have restrictions on commercial use. Conveyances do. So, take your conveyance down to the boat ramp, position at least one wheel in the water to demonstrate it is a water-going vessel. Remove the "conveyance" placard, affix a "vessel" placard, and you now have a self-portaging vessel, free of the encumberences upon land vehicles and conveyances.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago

The reason this is so funny is that in Sovcit logic, "conveyance" is a term to invoke a "right to travel" that supposedly makes vehicle licensing and insurance requirements unconstitutional.

By saying he intends to live in one, he's completely undoing that logic. He can't even Sovcit properly.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 24 points 2 days ago

Mate, just do heroin.

It's at least a more fun way to end up homeless.

Buying a house for coins and a special handshake sounds like something you'd overhear in a remote jungle village that's never made contact the outside world, yet it's coming from some guy on the fucking internet.

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I suppose you could buy a house for whatever 10 silver coins are worth. The important missing variable is somebody willing to actually sell it. Sovcits seem to strangely think other people are onesidedly bound by contracts they invent.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'll sell a shitton of houses to that dude for silver coins. I might not own them, but that's his problem, i got the coins now

[–] Xaphanos@lemmy.world 2 points 39 minutes ago (1 children)

And you can claim the original land grant from British royalty is the original deed.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 36 minutes ago

and making something that looks that old is pretty easy, just need some parchment and coffee

Facebook is an enormous mistake.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

It was fun at the beginning a little bit. Nice to reconnect with people you went to high school with that you did like, etc. But fake news and conservatives ruined it all, as well as spam and bots and Nazis.

I don't hate the idea of buying a house in hard metals with witnesses, instead of wasting money on a lawyer. But surely this person isn't so dumb as to think the price wouldn't be set by the seller, rather than legal nonsense.
