    Now remember people, it has to be exactly 45°. They will check so make sure you get a protractor or a carpenter’s square.

    The weird rules they come up with always make me laugh. Red ink at a 45 degree angle?

    It’s like some incantation from a fantasy story or something. How do go so far down a rabbit hole that you think you have wizard powers that you can use by simply writing things in a weird way?

    Like do they imagine the clerk is there with a protractor and is like “damn, it’s 45 degrees, nothing we can do about this one!” Or is it like the clerk will go into a trance and be compelled by their magic incantation to throw the ticket out?

    TILA-RESPA of 2015. Extends only to banking institutions in limited situations related to home loans. 12 USC ch. 27.

    You cannot just read a single sentence from that act, the three day period, and just randomly apply it everywhere. And I have no idea where the 45⁰ thing comes from but sounds right up there with bay leaves and candles.

    Obey the law. #NotLegalAdvice

        It’s everyone, even people who were taught cursive in school can’t really do it anymore because we don’t do it anymore.

        I started journaling again and it takes serious mental effort to write in cursive and I’m old enough to remember when we had to hand write assignments because general access to computers was still brand new.

    By their “logic”, don’t you enter into the contract to utilize the parking spots on the government-funded roads as soon as you park your car there?

    Stupid people congregating together on message boards trying to game the system. Like children making arguments to stay up past bedtime.

      Their whole system is based on if you’re not held accountable in the moment, you’re free.

      America’s legal system moves real fucking slow. There’s people in my city that just straight up haven’t used license plates for years. Because cops won’t pull someone over for no plates.

      Eventually they’ll get an accident they can’t drive away from tho, then they’re getting all types of charges because you can’t insure an unregistered car too.

      They think because there hasn’t been consequences yet, that none will ever come.

      That’s what’s going on with these tickets too. They think it works, they don’t know they’re just racking up chickens that are gonna show up to roost one day.

      In the meantime they make these social media posts telling everyone it works, and more people do it, which bogs the system down even more.

          Exactly.

          There’s still idiots who claim it was ok because they were “let in” when police retreated due to violence.

          By their logic a mugging has never happened, the victim decided of their own free will that losing a wallet was better than being shanked by a meth head.

          So 100% legal apparently

    WTF does “cause without dishonor or recourse to me” mean? It sounds like the words are all out of order lol

      It’s "hereby refused for cause,

      Without dishonor or recourse to me."

      As in, without it being a blemish on their reputation or action made against them.

      As stupid as their argument and attempt are, that phrase made sense to me.

        So in other words “I’m allowed to break the law with impunity and you can’t ever say anything bad about me because I’m special”?

          I interpreted this as saying “I disagree with owing a debt and believe I’m entitled to refute it under the law so do not take this as an unlawful action”. Kind of like pleading not guilty and demanding a trial instead of submitting or running away.

            I think this is basically it. But they think that’s the final word so get flustered when they respond with: “No you owe us the money”.

            They seem to believe that they can benefit from services without paying for them or following the law. Fundamentally I like the idea of being independent from the nation… But if you want to use their roads, shops, health services, etc you need to abide by their laws and terms. They think they can just say some magic words and now they don’t have to. It’s insanity. Very literally, they must have some notable mental health issues to think this is logical.

              They are basically anarchists which I like, except they still subscribe to english common law or something. Anarchy means that any authority needs to be justified or justify itself or else be null and void. So I kind of agree with their philosophy, since democracy in the US is like a joke. It’s really literally a plutocracy with some minor democratic impact.

              Of course in the real world they are nuts of course and their tactics are silly. And they tend to have bad ideas otherwise too.
