This. All you have to do is mention god or Jesus and some people will believe and do anything you want. Learn how to cold read and make up some mumbojumbo, put out ads online, and people will come to you willing to pay $500 - $1000 to cleanse them from curses, spirits, find love, etc. Even if it's obvious you're full of shit and nothing is working you just claim they have no faith and you need more time (aka money). Dumb fucks will keep coming back. I've seen this shit first hand on a personal level and it amazes me how dumb people can be. They went looking for the lady, they told her everything she need to manipulate them, when they got frustrated she use the old and true tactic to get a religious zealot to do what you want: Question their faith. These women could hardly pay their bills and keep food in their house yet gave entire paychecks, took out loans, so this bitch could give them cheap candles, essence sticks, some herbal tea, and told them to pray. $1000 plus for literally nothing. I want to get into this racket. It's too easy to doop religious fuck nuts. Best part is they never sue out of fear you might curse them. Sometime they're too afraid to question the people.

California Divorce Court. The biggest racket on the planet. The trick to winning is finding the attorneys who donate the most to a judges campaign. John Oliver did an excellent bit on this. 150 out of 151 judges ran unopposed. The entire thing is a $51b cash cow and laws that violate the California constitution have been passed to protect both the attorneys and the judges. Fighting injustice is so expensive and painful you always lose. Outcomes are decided long before you ever get to trial if you live that long. Average duration of a contested divorce is 6 years and after the judges retire they continue making vast profits in mediation and I haven't even gotten into how they profit from the side industries related to the children. They actively seek out women who are vulnerable and convince them to go for it. Judges make horrible jokes in court and the attorneys in the gallery all laugh to stay on the good side. Very interested in a pending civil suite against Judge TTL but the game is so rigged I doubt it will change. The game is put people so far in debt they give up and kill themselves.

There are people selling "holy water" on Ebay. Literally just a plain bottle with a label on it. They were selling hundreds for like $10-$15.

People love confirmation bias. They want to hear what they want to hear. All you have to do is connect the dots for them.

Jesus christ I knew divorce was bad for men but this just takes the cake. The only way I'd ever get married is if I had the most fucking beneficial prenub agreement to my name but no one will ever sign it. Hell, even some states are disregarding prenubs unless you follow very specific steps that no one would ever follow.

I recommend divorce corp for anyone considering it. However don't write off the institution. Not every court is corrupt. There are a lot of good and honest people out there. It's basically an extortion racket in LA superior court, which frankly is notorious for it's corruption. Allow me to give you further examples. After the Rampart scandal the LAPD was place under the conservator-ship of a federal judge and still managed to skin $50 a year. The worst part is it's so easy to see the corruption and no one does anything. best advice I can give you is don't get married and live in California, especially near LA. And yes the FBI knows all about it and is unable to do much. "I am not interested in Justice. This isn't about justice, this is about the law." Quote from an LA superior court judge I won't name.

If you protest you will find a fleet of black chrysler 300s following you everywhere you go.

Sorry $50m

I like to buy things from people and then sell those same things to other people for more money than I paid

>>830571
Actively managed mutual funds are the best scam.

I order medium bone out buffalo wings from pizza hut, 48 of them
When they get here I tell them they're WAY too hot, and I get them enough to know that they're the burning hot flavor

They resend them, I then have double the wings

I hear people selling holy water and paranormal things on ebay. Does this actually work? How do people get others to buy this crap?

Recently saw a commercial for Alzheimers awarness "charity". Kicking myself for not coming up with that idea. All those aging boomers are going to be hurling money at that thing.

I got workers compensation from breaking my wrist while masturbating in the stall at work.

This guy used his a bogus charity to make tens of millions. He was even able to fool politicians like Jeb Bush and senator Barack Obama.

What if you accidentally blessed the water by labeling it holy water turning it into real holy water? Then you will have sold actual holy water for far less than it is really worth, essentially losing money according to the opportunity cost

>holy water and paranormal things on ebay
That's not a bad idea. Especially the holy water. Lot of Christians are marks for Israel. Say it's from there and they think it's even more special. As for paranormal stuff I'd have to find something cheap to sell and bullshit it's value up.

>workers compensation
I thought of doing that once. Worked at a place where I was suppose to be working at a desk and on a machine. They said I was being hired on a regular at $12 an hour but then flipflopped to temp to hire (aka work you like a horse and fire you when caught up) at 11.50 an hour. Needed the money so I stuck around while looking for better employment. These fuckers switched me around as if training me for a position then had me cleaning up some stank asbestos ridden office and production area and painting for $11.50. I was up on a ladder thinking about taking a dive a doing my best pro wrestling act. Figured I'd have to actually get hurt to get the compensation so I backed out.

Computer illiterate/american detected. Apple is shit if you want to do anything more than browse facebook.

>>831509
Shit? Nigger, they sell computers that are cheap as shit to make, and up the price to like 1000 dollars and more. They are probably the most successful company of the late 20th and 21st century

>>830571

Flipping homes.

Buying some piece of shit plywood box in Toronto, and then finding a greater fool with access to cheap credit thanks to Canada's near zero interest rates.

The suckers won't know what hit them in 5 years.

>>831509
Apple computers are just fine at most every computing task. They are literally just an overpriced unix machine.

Honestly, I'd say that a large part of their appeal is the fact that they aren't loaded with bloatware. Consumers might not be able to put their finger on that, but when an apple lasts for years without becoming a bogged down piece of shit, it says something.

>>831515
Sounds a bit rude tbh

>>831511
Thats an issue entirely separate to their products quality.

>>831518
They're shit if you want to do anything in the way of programming, coding, modding hardware, anything.

lying on resumes. it'll get you the job, and employers will have to train you for their particular style anyway.

You're lying otherwise you'd know about the huge limitations of their OS .

The hardware inside them is way below competitors especially when compared in terms of price and quality. The design is apparently good looking according to consumers and appealing, however white is the easiest color to collect dirt and stains on.

It is a miracle that that shitty company survived the past few years. The only good product they released was the ipod imo ( but even that hhada huge flaw: itunes ). You'd think a company as big and profitable as Apple could hire competent people by now, but they get away with shit quality products all the time so why should they?
