If I can’t trust a basketball version of law definitions what can I trust!? lol

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No idea what that even is lol.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Probably autocorrected a misspelled "Black's law."

[–] RizzRustbolt 8 points 10 months ago

Speech to text strikes again.

[–] palebluethought 45 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

I was curious enough to actually go find the 6th edition on open library. The actual definition:

Money. In usual and ordinary acceptation it means coins and paper currency used as a circulating medium of exchange, and does not embrace notes, bonds, evidences of debt, or other personal or real estate. Lane v Railey, 280 KY. 319, 133 S.W.2d 74, 79, 81.

A medium of exchange authorized or adopted by a domestic or foreign government as part of its currency. U.C.C. S 1-201(24).

Neither "sawdust" nor "beaver pellets" appear anywhere in the 1700-page book. Googling that phrase turns up only this very thread.

[–] RizzRustbolt 35 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Did you search in the basketball edition?

[–] BradleyUffner 20 points 10 months ago

Don't forget to hold the dictionary at a 45 degree angle. That's the secret to reading the code.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm shocked I tell you, that a sovcit is making stuff up.

[–] palebluethought 17 points 10 months ago

To be honest I really expected more of a deliberate/motivated misreading of something that at least exists somewhere

[–] edgemaster72 5 points 10 months ago

does not embrace notes, bonds, evidences of debt, or other personal or real estate

That almost seems to refute what other SovCits try to do by paying with "coupons", invoice slips, tax forms, or whatever their specific nonsense du jour is.

[–] TheGrandNagus 34 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

They seriously believe that the dictionary definition of money is "pellets and sawdust may be money but Federal reserve notes cannot"?

Even aside from the absurdity of it, it refers to itself in the definition. It's a bit like saying the definition of 'milk' is "cow milk is milk, but pineapple juice isn't milk."

[–] setsneedtofeed 38 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

The 6th edition of Black’s Law was published in 1990 by the way.

As we all know, it was a time where trading beaver pelts and sawdust was common practice in the U.S.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Beaver pellets.

I can't confirm this, but I suspect this man expects to be paid in beaver shit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

It at least is real and offers some value (biodegradable nutrients for soil).

[–] Bunnylux 27 points 10 months ago

This is just schizophrenia untreated.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago

Good luck training an AI on this shit

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This one has to be a plant messing around with the real sovcits. Has to be.

...Right?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 8 points 10 months ago

They post a lot so I don't think so.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm smelling burnt toast after reading that.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 10 points 10 months ago

It is rather brain bending isn't it.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ownership really is a solipsistic paradigm, but at least the solipsism is buried deep below a seamless constructed reality we can all share. This is just naked solipsism that isn't even self-aware enough to be called nihilism.

[–] cmbabul 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Right? I’m with the principle that money is made up and the systems is fucked, but also there’s a mechanical reality to the system constructed around it. Additionally laws ain’t magic, people have to agree to honor them even if it’s just tacitly by virtue of being born into them, and the overwhelmingly vast majority of people are participating in this system.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 3 points 10 months ago

Made up, but the word "made" is doing a lot of unpaid overtime

[–] MiltownClowns 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

SovCits wants so bad for the law to be ancient magical texts that will grant their deepest wishes if they just find the right spell.

[–] WoahWoah -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I see SovCits as a symptom of how broken our legal and criminal justice systems are and how neglected, powerless, and scared people feel.

[–] MiltownClowns 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I see them as prime examplee of the dunning krueger effect.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago (3 children)

What do you say fellow Canadians? Should we lend these poors a few pelts, until they get back on their feet?
I vote interest paid shall be Texas BBQ.

[–] BoxerDevil 3 points 10 months ago

Can you just adopt the ones that want to escape this hell hole

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Pellets.
Like poop pellets

Not pelts. Animal pelts would be too logical cuz at least that'd be worth something.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Certainly. And I'll chip in a few kgs of sawdust, gratis

[–] Naja_Kaouthia 12 points 10 months ago

What, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

How do you find sovcits locally? I've got some silver quarters and need some work done. They should accept .9 oz of silver as payment of a few thousand in wages owed right?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Good question. I guess just watch the license plates you see and leave a note on their conveyance.

[–] Aganim 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

But unfortunately they can't do anything with your request, because they were traveling in a conveyance that's not used commercially.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit 3 points 10 months ago

Their legal strawman might accept an invitation for contractual intercourse in your jurisdiction, though. Without dishonor and all rights reserved of course.

[–] RizzRustbolt 10 points 10 months ago

Leave five pounds of salted beaver meat in a flour sack hanging from a copper hook by your back door.

They'll be in contact.

[–] Crack0n7uesday 7 points 10 months ago

Where do I find this guy? I got a lot of sawdust I need to exchange into this "foreign currency" he has.

[–] Mantis_Toboggan 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He and i should go toe to toe on bird law

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I bet I could convince the sovcits bird law is a real thing.

[–] Mantis_Toboggan 2 points 10 months ago

Just brigade their forms citing Reynolds vs. US and how it’s created a precedent in Bird Law
