8/ Typical reddit legal post: Uncle died and left his house to his son, but I'm the one who lived in the house for the past 10 years, and I've been helping my uncle every week, food shopping for him. Also, I'm depressed and this is stressing me out!!!

9/ I've actually cleaned that up a bit to make it more comprehensible to sane people. The actual post would say "This is my house, it's just in my cousin's name because..." The first 10 times you see "it's my car but it's in her name" you laugh. But around time #11 >>>

10/ The smart thing to do is to stop laughing and to start analyzing. People apply the "homestead principle" ALL THE FREAKING TIME. "Finder's keepers" "Yeah but I lived here for 2 years" "But I drive it every day" "I touched it last" More and more I've been thinking that >>>

11/ One of the DEEP QUESTIONS of governance / society building / etc is to make a glue layer that can bind to evolved human norms ("I've been carrying this bow for the last two weeks, and besides, I shot the rabbit you ate last night; OBVIOUSLY it's mine!") to formalism.

14/ The two cruxes of my zoning dispute is that a clause in the zoning ordinance says "...a single family residence". The terms are defined elsewhere in the zoning code. Zoning board wants to disregard that definition and declare that "a residence is ANY structure". Whew lads

16/ My strategy, both in actual face-to-face physical confrontations, and in legal disputes, is to be a very nice guy, go along to get along ... until pushed. At which point I go apocalyptic in response.https://twitter.com/JhonSimth/status/1179050177581203459 …

17/ In zoning dispute, I told neighbor stakes were in the wrong place. I showed him the zoning code. I offered to pay for logging to take down trees so he could relocate. I offered $6k in cash. I went over to increase cash offer, and was sworn at. OK, lawyer time. Code duello.

Replying to @MorlockP
Years ago, I had to arm wrestle a large publisher to remove that from a draft contract. It’s unconscionable.
