    These sovcit posts look like they belong in the wizarding world or something to me. They read like

    “I sent three eyes of newts to the ministry of dark arts, and one wing of fairy to the department of destinies, but the overlords of magic constraint still won’t let me fly my broomstick to the neverland. Why are they illegally preventing me from binding with the one true dark form? What did everyone else do to get their vessels stamped for approval?”

    Meanwhile, their electric company is like, “Yo, you used $50 worth of electricity. We need you to send us $50 in usable currency if you want to continue using electricity from us. Please send us usable currency instead of jars of spiders like you did last month. Thanks.”

      You left out the part where they pay someone else $200 to be told how they are supposedly going to avoid paying that $50.

      Exactly. Every time I read one of these I get the impression they are trying really hard to say the right incantation of non-sensical legalese that will make creditors go away.

        I mean that’s there whole idea right? You just have to mention all the magic case numbers or “ucc 3” and boom you can legally steal stuff from others!

      That’s exactly how I think of their logic, they genuinely believe language is magic, and if they say the right combination of crazy things, they get free stuff.
