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 2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] rainwall@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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 2 points 1 month ago

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.

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 3 points 1 month 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 3 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] West_of_West@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] MnemonicBump@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

This is actually true of the United States, as well. It's Common Law for pretty much everywhere and Civil Law for Louisiana.

[-] West_of_West@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

TIL. I knew Louisiana had a French history, but not that it maintenaned it in anyway, let alone through the legal code.

[-] makyo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

I know you're probably tired of all the AI paranoia, but I have a feeling this is from chatgpt...

[-] skisnow@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Howso? It doesn't seem to have any of the usual patterns, aside from being complete nonsense.

[-] diptchip@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Usual patterns? Maybe it is just human nonsense. I’m honestly to the point where I wouldn’t doubt that anything I see on online is computer generated content. If they can’t make it indiscernible now, it’s only a matter of time. They aren’t going public with half of it.

[-] Smokeless7048@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] skisnow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month 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.

[-] pno2nr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

AND two secretaries. come on, who's gonna keep notes for both sides without the secretaries?

[-] TomMasz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

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

[-] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

Lol I actually did know that, but the writing is so weird I couldn't figure it out!

[-] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] Portosian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month 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.

[-] ccunning@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

already hired a common law attorney but looking to hire more attorneys

need advice asap pronto

Looks like you already know what you need to do brother.

Hire even moar attorneys

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Might have been a thing in 1507. Hope they got a time machine.

[-] bcgm3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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 1 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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 1 points 1 month ago

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 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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?

[-] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

I think the only thing missing would be a partridge in a pear tree to make it work.

[-] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

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 6 points 1 month ago

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 2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

Just the worst Karens ever.

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