community notes is the BEST thing that Twitter could have ever done

fluxion ,

Which means Elon will find some way to render them useless soon

thesporkeffect ,

Ooohh, he’s tryin’

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

He doesn’t need to render it useless, he just needs to delete community notes applied to his own tweets, which he does.

Buddahriffic ,

Someone who still cares to use Twitter should write a third party add-on that allows community notes outside of elon’s control.

@apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world avatar

Post drivers, and I hated using them to make fencing.

Agrivar ,

Huh. I spent years driving posts with a sledgehammer! When I discovered the existence of post drivers I was overjoyed and bought one immediately.

SchmidtGenetics ,

They even have handheld gas powered ones too now.

I am sad that this person has terrible penmanship but they still have nicer penmanship than me.

BonesOfTheMoon OP ,

Me too. I just got some pens at work I actually like and I am hoarding them all for myself. I put them in my work bag so they’re just mine. They improve my handwriting but not much.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

My handwriting has been terrible my whole life, even when I used to write in notebooks all the time. It doesn’t help that I’m left-handed and our alphabet is designed for right-handed people.

I was gonna say it looks like a child wrote it, but I’m honestly not sure I’d do any better 😄

@elbucho@lemmy.world avatar

Huh. Call me provincial, but I had no idea that sovereign citizens existed outside of America. The idea of a Cypriot sovcit never occurred to me.

Dudewitbow ,

in general, things do exist out of the U.S, its just people in the U.S do it more publicly. Its like racism, and how some people think U.S is the most racist due to media and social media, its actually very far from that on the general scale of things when compared to other countries.

dellish ,

In Australia I knew I guy who was a SovCit and he would do stupid things like quote the bill of rights. We’d say “what bill of rights?” Australia doesn’t have one. All his info came from the US and he just followed it with realising none of it was relevant in a different country.

edgemaster72 ,
@edgemaster72@lemmy.world avatar

To be fair pretty much all the US sovcit stuff isn’t relevant or applicable in the US either

stinerman , (edited )
@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

True. But things like the UCC are real laws. Sovcits just hilariously misinterpret them. There is no such law in other countries. Plus sovcit stuff is based on common law. It makes even less sense in civil law jurisdictions.

odium ,

I did expect Australian and British sovcits, but didn’t expect Greek ones.

Klear ,

I didn’t expect Spanish SovCits…

dellish ,

No-one expects The Spanish SovCit!

dellish ,

I don’t know man. Idiots are everywhere.

saltesc ,

Were they one of the lost idiots waving a Trump flag during the Victoria lockdown protests? I still cringe to this day.

dellish ,

Fortunately I haven’t bothered keeping up with him for many years, but it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if he was doing that. And protesting vaccinations too probably.

carl_dungeon ,

None of it is relevant in the USA either, it’s all bullshit.

angstylittlecatboy ,

There is a similar movement to SovCits that is at least properly adapted to other countries (specifically the Commonwealth and Ireland’s) laws called “Freeman on the Land.”

floofloof ,

We have people in Canada who demand their first amendment rights too. And they put Trump stickers on their trucks. These people are not the smartest.

Hikermick ,

It’s nice to know America doesn’t have ALL the idiots

Tar_alcaran ,

We call them “autonomous” in the Netherlands, and Germany has “imperial citizens”.

Everywhere has its own flavour of these morons thanks to the Internet. And they often literally copy the talking points, and occasionally even laws.

angelmountain ,

Pretty sure they’re called “wappies” in the Netherlands

Tar_alcaran ,

Well, Autonomen are a flavour of Wappies :P

We have a few so-called sovereign citizens in the UK.

And ONE actual sovereign citizen.

Swedneck ,
@Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

that would of course be count Binface, who is a space alien and thus obviously is only subject to any human law in so far as that he chooses to go along with it.

StarlightDust ,

The anti-vax conspiracy crowd in Britain is heavily SovCit. They seem to think the magna Carta means they can be selfish arseholes

Are they asking a trick question?

Facebones , to memes in lets push updates on a Friday, surely nothing could go wrong

Ironically it was more of a hassle than y2k ended up being lol

JoShmoe , to lemmyshitpost in It just does.

Perfect for deep frying! You will not regret eating this much deep-fried peanut butter.

MrJameGumb , to insanepeoplefacebook in The Republic of Cyprus is fed up with this sovcit.
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

Does he live in Cyprus? Can I send all my debts to them too? Lol

BonesOfTheMoon OP ,

He does not, that’s the hilarious part.

MrJameGumb ,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

It seems no one made the people of Cyprus aware that they’re on the hook for the outstanding debts of every idiot in the world lol imagine their surprise 😂

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

More importantly, did he wad up that letter and stick it in his shoe before taking a picture of it or something?

AllNewTypeFace , to insanepeoplefacebook in I think this is the craziest sovcit so far because he wants the pope to sign whatever this is.
@AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space avatar

A disproportionate number of these cranks appear to be British expats in Greece or Cyprus.

MrJameGumb , to insanepeoplefacebook in Sovcit went to the bank.
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

Let me make sure I follow what happened here… He got a bunch of paperwork he presumably needed to sign in several places? Instead of doing that he put a postage stamp (?) on top of the pile and “signed across” it?

Am I reading that correctly?

BonesOfTheMoon OP ,

So it would seem. What that means in sovcit land I know not.

MrJameGumb ,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

I’m still trying to wrap my head around this apparent notion that signing a stamp is supposed to have some official function lol I’m assuming it’s something he dreamt after a particularly large meal

DynoNoob ,

I found an article that explains the stamp thing. And it’s just as stupid as you’d expect it to be.

@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

barsquid ,

According to the FBI, which considers this a domestic terrorist movement,

Ahahahahaha

BonesOfTheMoon OP ,

It is though. They are violent sometimes.

Sparky ,
@Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

A 2014 survey asked US law enforcement officials to rank terrorist threats to the United States. They ranked sovereign citizens as the highest threat — with Islamic extremists coming in second.

Jeez

I can’t imagine a country that ranks it’s own citizens as the highest terrorist threat

MapleEngineer ,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.world avatar

I think he signed, “The authorized representative of [name].” as opposed to just his name.

theneverfox , to aboringdystopia in What fresh hell is this?
@theneverfox@pawb.social avatar

In fairness, I’ve had to write a privacy policy due to store restrictions. It boiled down to “everything stays on your phone. I don’t collect your data, I don’t want your data, I don’t even have a backend server that could be collecting your data. If you find my app sending telemetry of any kind, please tell me immediately because that should not be happening”

That being said, this doesn’t exactly inspire confidence

KeenFlame ,

And nothing at all inspires more people confidence so that’s why they need the policies. It’s not possible to satisfy this

satanmat , to insanepeoplefacebook in The Republic of Cyprus is fed up with this sovcit.

This is why I say that “technically correct” is the worst kind of correct.

Wdym, it’s not even technically correct. It’s just wrong.

black0ut ,
@black0ut@pawb.social avatar

He was gifted 400k, just not by BK. The post doesn’t say it was BK, even though it insinuates that. It’s technically correct, but it has a clearly deceitful intention.

dohpaz42 ,
@dohpaz42@lemmy.world avatar

The better way to have worded that post was to say, “A Burger King worker, who never missed a day of work in 27 years, was gifted $400k from a GoFundMe setup by his daughter.”

But that would mean being intentional and using more words. Can’t have that when you want to be spicy and increasing your engagement with ambiguity.

TheDarksteel94 ,

Ah, I see, sorry. I read the post like two times and only now I see how it was actually phrased 😅
