      sudo means switching to another user account with different permission settings before performing a command. Usually, people use it to switch to the admin account (root) but any account is possible. On Ubuntu (and distros configured like it) sudo can be used from the primary user account without entering a password.

      So, xkcd’s sudo make me a sandwich example would thus only work if there was a higher power/authority that could more or less control Cueball’s friend. Also, Cueball would have to be able to become/impersonate that higher power/authority. Checkmate, atheists?

        I’ve dabbled in network stuff since reading the xkcd so I do know slightly more than just sudo make me a sandwich but not enough to confidently make that dumb joke without fear of offending the entire Fediverse. I appreciate the explanation :)

    Why do these people think that literally everything boils down to a contract of some sort or other? And ones that nobody has ever seen, aside from their own chicken scratch?

      Because the entirety of Western political thought operates under the notion that we agree to rule. Sovcits don’t see the nuance there so they think everything is a contract and with a wave of the right wand they can magik themselves out of legal situations.

      Because they misinterpret the term Social Contract and think there are similar “hidden” contracts everywhere?

    WTF is “due performance” and FOIA doesn’t apply to private companies.

      When they say “two corporations” they’re talking about the federal and state governments they referenced earlier.

      It’s part of a conspiracy theory that the US government is actually a corporation (and I guess state governments now, too?). The original theory I heard was that they never actually got the 16th amendment to the constitution ratified, so in order to levy income taxes on US citizens they secretly converted the federal government to a corporation and by having a birth certificate you are an employee of the government, rather than a citizen of the country. That’s of course all made up and doesn’t make any sense when held to 2 seconds of scrutiny, but I’ve met more than one person who believed it completely.

    “Attention prosecutors: we have to drop all charges. We just found out that this guy wrote a letter to the government asking for paperwork that doesn’t exist, so now he’s immune to all laws ever. Thanks for your hard work anyway. Oh, and for those of you who are working in the prosecutor’s office for college credit, YES, your work still counts. Thanks again.”

    This one isn’t technically a sovcit, but he’s pretty close. He thinks the phrase, “I don’t answer questions,” is a magical incantation that imbues him with immunity from the law. Ranting about illegal arrest and being a USA citizen. I mean, just look at his beard and stache. This guy will be a sovcit in a handful of years.
