Not sure how much of this to believe, but don't sign any arbitration agreements

You should always have your own copy of any contract. Don't rely on the other party to keep one for you.

Fun fact: The Lorem Ipsum text ain't real Latin

I mean, it's chunks of real latin.

Edit: This seems to be wrong, see the thread for context.


If by chunks you mean individual letters of the latin alphabet.

Otherwise no, lorem ipsum is pseudo-latin, meant to emulate letter frequency and word length of latin, but not actual latin words.

What? Yes it does. "Ipsum" is a latin word, it means "itself". It's a fragment of "[Do]lorem ipsum, dolor sit amet", "pain itself, for being pain". It's from, IIRC, Cicero.

All those "begats" at the beginning of the old testament. Everyone grew extremely old and died, except for Enoch. He broke the pattern. While he was a young man he went and "walked with God". They left his story out of the bible but it lives on in the apocrypha.

Huh, I guess you're right. At least regarding the first paragraph(s), which I would argue is the relevant part.

Well doesnt this mean this person can stop making payments and keep the panelssince there's no contract dictating that they keep paying on the lease?

They can still produce a lease in court.

It is Latin, it comes from a text by Cicero. However the text is not entirely correct, I guess it accumulated errors along the way.

I'll stop paying until you provide me with the signed contract. No need to go to court.
