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

        but could it be overstated? or asidestated?

          Possibly! If you could officially instate that, it’d be outstanding!

    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.

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

        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.

    Anyone who makes me read a dumb contract owes me $100,000.00 one hundred thousand Untited States dollars. Since I’m feeling generous, I’ll take Australian or Canadian dollars too

    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?

          Here’s one where the guy posted he spent a bunch of money learning sovcit tricks, and now is in 20K of debt and been evicted, and these were the replies…

                  Our utilities are paid for by sales tax.

                  And since sovcits don’t pay taxes, utilities are just completely free. /s

    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?

        That’s actually a nice way to explain their behavior. It’s easy to just laugh at them, but reality is kinda fucked up a lot of the times too.

    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.

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

    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.

      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?

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