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

[–] Sciaphobia@sh.itjust.works 34 points 3 weeks ago (2 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.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago

Which is objectively more bonkers than the silly situation I had cooked up

[–] West_of_West@piefed.social 11 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Funny enough, in Canada we have common-law and civil-law (Québec), which is where my mind immediately went.

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.

Or immediately if you have a child together

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.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 32 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Only if those are coins of a full ounce of silver, even. Nothing is specified so they might as well be dimes instead.

It's likely worse than that, even. "Silver coins" in sovcit often mean silver in color, i.e. quarters.

Dude wants a house for $2.50.

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There are silver content quarters, pre 1964 I think? These are the ones they use, or attempt to use because it's all bullshit anyway.

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

[–] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

In what world does "conveyance" refer to a living space?

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 42 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I guess when you're living in your van down by a river.

[–] Portosian@sh.itjust.works 23 points 3 weeks ago

They think that if you don't use the word "driving", then you don't need a driver's license. I assume desperately trying not to use the word car is some kind of mush brain attempt to not admit it is a vehicle.

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Conveyance means car. He's talking about living in his car.

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 43 points 3 weeks 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 19 points 3 weeks ago

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

And they're about to hit a wall of reality when they become homeless

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I don’t. I know people like this. They’re stupid, stubborn, selfish, lazy, egomaniacal jerks.

Just the worst Karens ever.

[–] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

I've got to be honest, I might feel bad for them if SovCits weren't such massive pricks, but being a stupid piece of shit isn't equivalent to insanity to me.

Your Aunt is a lizard person? Insane. You think that you can increase your personal power and spiritual essence by consuming other living beings (insect-to-human cannibalism pipeline; I'm not joking this has been observed, codified and studied) to absorb their souls? Insane. Think that random family members, strangers and people on the TV are threatening you or compelling you to murder? Insane. Thinking that you don't have to pay taxes, obtain or use a driver's license for driving vehicles, etc. because you're not a legal scholar or even lawyer, and base your whackadoodle dumb-fuck interpretations of antiquated legal statutes sourced from Youtubers & Facebook posts? Not insane - You deserve what's coming to you, not because you're a 'bad person', but because you're too stupid to function in society and too arrogant to listen to anyone contradicting you for your own benefit.

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

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Kidnapping? No, it's common law imprisonment!

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

Show up to their house with silver and some witnesses. Your house now.

Legal nonsense is exactly what they believe in, that's why they say "conveyance" instead of "car".

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

But surely this person isn't so dumb

Ah, so this is your first encounter with sovcits?

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.

You can buy a house with ten silver coins - if the seller is stupid enough.

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.

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

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

Instead of coins, you should try magic beans, then you can live in the clouds.

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago (3 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

Hocus-pocus, your foreclosure is now a bouquet of flowers and magical silver coins each worth 1/10th of literally any house.
