I'm pretty sure that SovCit who encountered the Terminator cop who just straight ripped the window out of his car was black. Don't have the video handy but i wouldn't mind a repost. It's always good for a laugh.

I remember a black SovCit-adjacent group coming up some time ago in either this thread or an old SovCit thread, but I can't recall their name.

I'm as American as you can be, from Texas, all that. And let me tell you, people here are beyond stupid. But people are this stupid all over the world; spent a long time in Japan I've met some seriously stupid people there.

But gently caress Texans for the treasonous secessionist filth they have been and are.

But I don't make judgements.

You seem to be thinking of California. Here in Texas, we threaten to secede every time something happens in the government we don't like (so all the time), but we don't actually try to do it. It's the State equivalent of stomping up the stairs and slamming our door.

I had some of my friends over at my house and one of my friends invited one of her other friends to come over. She had her MacBook on my couch when I sat on it and broke it. Since it was completely my fault I offered to pay her the money for it and she agreed. She got it 3 years ago and it cost 2200 dollars at the time. I told her I'd wire you the money in a week to her bank account.

She's now emailed me saying that as per our conversation she's expecting the 2700 that I have agreed for!!!! I didn't know why she added the extra money so I got her number from my friend and called her to find her telling me she's now expecting me to pay for her new upgraded MacBook since she was "upgrading anyway". She said if I don't agree to do that she'll be suing me in small claims court. Can a judge agree to that?

Should I wire her the $2,200 or should I just tell her go sue me?
Location is California.

quote:

I did some research specifically for repairing the screen for the macbook and for her particular model it’s around 310 for the screen + the labor cost so I wrote her back saying that since she didn't accept my initial offer of $2200, I’m withdrawing that offer, and offering to pay for the repair cost. She sent me an email calling me a bitch and that she’s going to take me to court.

I got served a few days later and went to court. I told the judge I gave her three options to choose from. 1) either to write her a check for a brand new one which was 2200 dollars. 2) Get her a refurbished one from apple or a third party or even used which would be around 1400 dollars or 3) fix her current MacBook since the screen is the only thing affected here and it would cost around 300 dollars plus money for labor. (I printed out the email I sent her and the mail she sent back refusing demanding the 2700 and calling me a bitch and saying we’ll go to court + screenshots for the price quotes from different websites for a new/refurbished and the screen fix for her particular model) and gave it to the judge. I also told him that when I offered at the very beginning to get her a new one from the apple store she said no I want the money in cash. When I told her I’d give her 2200 for a new one she said okay but later came asking for 2700 because she wants to upgrade. I tried to show him how it's clearly visible that she's trying to take advantage of me.

She gave the judge an attitude almost the whole time which really pissed the judge off and helped my case I guess. After listening to both of us he ruled that I pay 50% of the repair cost since she negligently left her laptop on the couch. So I'll only be paying not more than 200-250 dollars for the whole thing.

If it weren’t for you guys I would’ve paid $2,200 dollars instead of around $200 and I honestly loved her look at the end as we walked out.

I like the fact that Texas has emptily threatened to secede so many times nobody even bothers noticing anymore.

What's worse - being in Putin's pocket or being in the House of Saud's pocket?

Trick question, obviously you would take payments from both.
