Aesop Poprock posted:This could have long term ramifications in the future case of "these cereal boxes are only like 1/3 full" Except cereal boxes print their actual weight of product (similar to chips, etc) so they're upfront with you that the box is 1/3 full. Good luck with that case. The Starbucks one is idiotic because he's clearly confused "Fl Oz" with "Oz", thinking that since the foam is lighter weight it shouldn't count against his 8 fl. oz drink.

Drone_Fragger posted:It basically boils down to what starbucks is selling, fluid or volume of a fluid. He's not actually completely wrong about it. It's also hilarious that the claim is Starbucks is saving millions!!! of dollars by skimping on a few ounces of coffee. They still haven't internalized that their $5 coffee only costs Starbucks $0.40 to make. If they cut 25% of the coffee out, Starbucks isn't saving themselves $1.25 per cup, they're saving 10 cents per cup. "'I think I spend about $70 a week here (Starbucks),' said Dylan Howard of Moorhead (the plaintiff)."

Leavemywife posted:Can someone explain what a sovereign citizen is? From how I get it, they seem to think they'll be immune to the law, not pay taxes and still live with all the benefits of being a regular citizen. They distinguish between their federal entity (a name with a bunch of documentation attached to it) and their physical self (their person), and claim that by acting as their physical self they are immune to most procedures and laws as those laws are enforced on their entity. They are, however, entitled to federal benefits (such as legal protection, bill of rights, so forth) that are provided to their entity. It's a bunch of *top secret* logic loops that they believe were installed as a back door by Illuminati or Freemasons or Lizard People to allow themselves freedom above the system. They think that by invoking this logic they too can be above the system, a sovereign citizen.

Sestze posted:According to sovereign citizen logic, there also exists a $200,000 bond that every citizen has given at birth that can be invoked in the case of outstanding personal debt or litigation. Now is that personal debt to their entity or to their person? More than 1 layer deep the whole thing really starts falling apart. Capitalization is also extremely important. Birth certificates contain all caps, so PHILLIP BE BANGIN identifies the legal entity that is part of the federal government, is given a social security number, and is the instrument against which all litigation is processed. Phillip B. Bangin identifies the physical person, but the person is not bound to that name, it's merely for the ease of communication and social representation.
