    The date says 2022 but the web design says 2002.

      It’s a government website so 2002 would be new under those standards.

          No, you just had to pray that the fax machine you sent it to wasn’t low on ink or paper or all of your documents would just disappear.

    Why did you take a picture of the screen instead of screenshot?

    And why is there a booger on your screen?

    I need answers.

      Oh thank goodness, I thought the booger was on my screen.

        Twist: his booger just happened to be under yours.

      I’m not the OP for this pic, sorry, I don’t have the answers to that, it was originally on a you laugh you loose thread, at least that’s where I found it.

    I recommend “Law Talk With Mike” on YouTube for a lot of quite similar court silliness.

    people would hate the courts less if they’d just talk like human beings rather than cloak everything in this bullshit cold legalese which makes everyone sound as stark and removed as possible. if someone’s life is at stake, fucking talk like it!

      My first instinct is to agree with you.

      My second instinct is to think that most of what I tend to think of as bullshit cold legalese is actually exceedingly precise, which I have to admit is a good quality to have when it comes to matters of law.

      On the flipside, if the language is too casual you’d end up with people winning cases by being popular and snarky.

      Part of the reason why Trump’s cases have such a high turnover of lawyers. His antics just don’t amuse a judge used to professionalism.

      Not saying you don’t have a point. After stuff like bees being classified as fish in California to protect them. It’s clear to see legalese has gone to far.

          in a lucky loophole for insects, mollusks, and other spineless creatures falling under the umbrella term “invertebrate,” the act itself defines a “fish” as “a wild fish, mollusk, crustacean, invertebrate, amphibian, or part, spawn, or ovum of any of those animals.”

          According to the law’s specific definition of “fish”, spiders and earthworms are also ‘fish’.
