This is what happens when the insane attempt to understand the rigged.
I really believe that in order to subscribe to the SovCit bullshit, you have to be mentally challenged to some degree. None of these idiots have ever won a court case or a civil suit against a bank. Even if everything they said was true, it's a blantly obvious fact that our legal system doesn't agree.
Suspend disbelief for a moment and give them the benefit of the doubt. They're still clinging to beliefs that have been proven time and again not to work with our modern legal and financial systems. Nobody with a properly-functioning brain could possibly still think any of this is a good idea.
And they're always so shocked whatever thing they did didn't work.
The spelling and grammar backs that up, most of them are barely literate.
But so many of those words are big, and sound smart! How could it be wrong?
For me it's like...if all this is true then why isn't this guy rich and winning court cases left and right? The only possible explanation is that this isn't true because he's not.
I have to assume the majority of these posts are people who are poorly educated, under extreme financial stress and discover this apparent easy escape from all their problems. Presumably the majority eventually realize it doesn't work and stop posting - causing a lot of churn but keeping the community of sovcits populated.
No-means-testing true UBI would probably kill it for good.
No! Ting!!
I'd like to imagine they've got a triangle with them
No! ting
More cow bell!
That sounds like Afro-Caribbean vernacular English, suggesting that this is affinity fraud targeting that community.
That's not my name
Imma try using my license plate in the card reader next time I buy groceries.
It's a credit card, after all.
Just cram it right in.
I suppose that mathematically one could say I'm depositing a bill when I pay it, as I'm deducting the value of the bill from my bank account, which is the same as adding the negative of it. Since they're asking me to pay it, it's kind of negative money.
But no, then you'd be a pedantic idiot and would have said nothing of value.
This many laughing-crying emojis in a post is already the sign of a deranged mind. The tone of these always feels like you're talking down to the reader, like bringing a bill to a bank and depositing it into your checking account is the most obvious thing in the world.
But for folks with absolutely nothing, who feel like they're constantly being hoodwinked and scammed and bullied out of what little they scrounge, I can see it making sense in the same way a mirage in the desert makes sense. I can see people who are already destitute and angry at the world deciding to take their pile of bills to a local bank branch and treat it as deposits. Even if it doesn't make any sense, it must give you some kind of dopamine hit to feel righteous and demanding in the face of an institution that only ever seems to bleed you dry.
I used to work with a dude who used emojis like that. He was indeed deranged. He also constantly did weird shit that made me question what he was thinking and how his brain actually worked.
People who get called "stupid" over and over again often find it more useful as a rebuttal than a diagnosis.
Sorry, but it's just too hard to have sympathy for people who think that they've found the financial and legal equivalents of abracadabra and alakazam.
That part almost makes sense. Like, from the Bank's perspective your deposit is a liability, not an asset. But the mortgage on your house that they very much can give you is an asset for them and a liability for you. Two-column accounting works like that; everything in my asset column is going to be in someone's liability column.
But none of the other nonsense follows from that at all. It's the few sentences bordering on lucidity to make you forget how insane all the promises from earlier were.
That's why I draw big black vertical bars on the sides of my bills before I deposit them. Mathematically, that makes them deposit the absolute value instead of the negative asset.
"Your honor, this ticket says it's for $500. I'll be collecting with the clerk on the way out. Not guilty, by the way."
Do I use StubHub to cash out my tickets?
"...I'll show ya if you don't believe it."
This is the opening to a scam. If I had the energy, I'd scam these idiots until I retire. No more morals left to consider idiots. In other news, I'm starting a Trump 2028 and Christ for Whatever fund. Join in and be saved!
Not a sovcit but has an attitude that makes me think of them. Obstinate. Putting words in the officers' mouths. Arrested when given the opportunity not to be. Enjoy.
Definitely sovcit-ish!
US has been bankrupt since 1933
I guess we didn't send billions of dollars to Israel to commit war crimes. Someone should tell the people in Gaza. They'll be greatly relieved.
You can use loan money to give loans.
