I wonder how much time they wasted trying to save a dollar on postage.

[–] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 40 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I don’t know but at $15 an hour, you’re getting paid a quarter a minute and last I checked the stamp was like $.59

[–] skydivekingair@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Jan. 21, 2024 new rates include a 2-cent increase in the price of a First-Class Mail Forever stamp, from 66 cents to 68 cents.

[–] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago

Bullshit I bought forever stamps… 5-10 years ago… so… that!!!

[–] winterayars@sh.itjust.works 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure sovcits are holding down jobs.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The funny part is some of them are, but arguing with their boss that they are exempt from taxes which always ends up badly for them.

Why do all SovCits have the worst handwriting?

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 48 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

They aren't entirely literate, so writing is awkward for them.

Edit: And I actually don't mean that as a dig. A huge percentage of the American populace is functionally illiterate or close to it.

It's the same family of like 5 people 😂

[–] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ehh... You should see mine.

[–] mwproductions@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (5 children)

In truth, mine isn't great either. It's not all shaky and squiggly like these folks, though, just sloppy.

Probably a central tremor caused by chronic stress, can be a symptom of bipolar or schizophrenia.

[–] ShunkW@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It's called essential tremor btw. And it's not a symptom of bipolar as far as I know. That's more psychomotor agitation.

It's the meth that makes you shaky.

I'm trying to decide if my favorite part about sovcits is their absolute cognitive dissonance, or the fact that they have a supreme knack for cherry-picking parts of US law they expect to have applied to or for them when they want to omit everything else in it.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago (1 children)

My favourite part is how absolutely taken aback they are when one of their schemes doesn't work.

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

In a similar way, I love how it's not just that it didn't work, but they get mad because they think the other party is lying about it. Like the utility company knows full well they have to take whatever worthless coupon is offered, but are just refusing because they think the SovCit will give up.

They are going to be so pissed when they find out that the postal service can reject their letter because the sending or receiving party does not have a mailbox of an acceptable shape, size or made of acceptable material.

U.S. Postal Service STD-7B01

Postal Service, Code of Federal Regulations 39 CFR Part 111, Standard 7A, Mailboxes, City and Rural Curbside

See, I can look up random laws on Wikipedia too!

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

they cherry-pick The Bible; it's totally on-brand.

[–] ZagamTheVile@lemmy.world 37 points 9 months ago

It's actually a little smarter than most of these idiots. At least he can honestly say he "tried" to pay the bill. It's not his fault the USPS took his envelope and had it destroyed because it was a biohazard.

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 32 points 9 months ago (1 children)

At a certain point you spend more wasting your time writing all that crap than you would spend just buying a stamp.

Possibly in blood. Yuck.

[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yes and probably in blood I would imagine…

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 9 months ago

Blood dries very dark red or brown on paper. It might look different in person but based on the pic I don’t think it’s blood, just red ink. That said I wouldn’t blame anyone handling it for putting gloves on because whoever sent this is clearly unhinged.

Seems like good news if you are in the Postal Service. If it has blood on it you get to seal it in a bag and not have to deal with it 

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Yes , a sovcit trope is that a red ink and thumbprint or fingerprint magically do something.

I think it'll get rejected because it doesn't say ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

WITH PREJUDICE*

Or was it WITHOUT? All that magic mumbo-jumbo is so confusing.

[–] ikapoz@sh.itjust.works 16 points 9 months ago

Personally I think the mindfully placed Bible in the background of the shot is my favorite part of this gong show of a post.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Maybe he should put all that shit onto a cover sheet instead of doing unreadable scribbles all over the envelope...

What is the deal with these people? Other than obvious mental illness I mean.

[–] geekworking@lemmy.world 32 points 9 months ago

Apparently, a lot of them are trying to find a way to avoid paying child support.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 28 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It makes them feel powerful. They have the hidden incantation that sets them above the rest of the proles. I would imagine the venn diagram of flat earthers and sovereign citizens overlaps a lot.

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Also absolves them of contributing to society completely. They're freeloaders

They get convinced by someone on the internet that the government is all a scam and pay large sums of money to some guru to learn their methods, who then vanish into the ether as their new student loses their home or car.

Sovcits have roots in white supremacy.

What makes them think that American laws protect them if they arent Americans?

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

Nah that one's got a thumb print it's legit.
