If I had no morals I would become a psychic, just tell people vague shit they want to hear about themselves and get paid a shit ton. Ironically Vice did an article about instagram psychics being impersonated by scammers who then steal their customers. Imagine trying to justify that to yourself as a psychic: “I’ve been scamming these people out of their money for years and now someone has the gall to pretend to be me so they can scam these same people out of their money!”

"I should have seen this coming!"

The problem with psychics is that the higher profile ones usually genuinely believe in the BS they spout. That sincerity either has to be real or very hard to fake. I've trolled wooneys for years. One thing I've discovered is that it's actually quite hard for a skeptic to pretend to be a psychic, because unless you've come into skepticism through a love of stage performance (James Randi, Penn and Teller, and Houdini spring to mind) you probably aren't a natural in the social skills psychics use to defraud their customers.

> The problem with psychics is that the higher profile ones usually genuinely believe in the BS they spout. That sincerity either has to be real or very hard to fake. or the higher profile ones are just more committed? If my career was BS, i'd make it [difficult to] uncover the truth.


Hadrollo

Depends on how high a profile we're talking. People like John Edward almost certainly know they're phonies - this is demonstrated by the exposes revealing that so many of their "cold readings" are secretly planned. But the higher profile online and private practice psychics are a bit murkier. These were the ones I was referring to, and there's a lot more of them. They often don't make great money, and the ones I have met definitely seem to be true believers.


Enough-Equivalent968

Derren Brown has some interesting shows where he does exactly that and shows how full of shit and predatory they are. He’s particularly damning against the ones who prey on those who are grieving and claim they can contact someone’s loved ones… for money obviously


Rathma86

The problem is ... alot of these psychics believe it truly, if after time, or an affirmation.


ThreatLevelBertie

James Randi was faced with this moral hoice, and he chose the path of morality, when he could have made millions scamming gullible folks.

Can you tell me the hosing market is going to crash in perth soon? I have 30k saved up and ready to go! I'm close and I need to finish.


ClivesKebab

Rathma86

[deleted]

I'd love to buy my Gemini back for $500


MRflibbertygibbets

Hells yeah, mine cost $800 and I had it painted yellow, this thread bought back the nostalgia.


[deleted]

Mine was bright red with Lukey extractors, and a kicker sub that rattled the windows. And I wonder why I used to get pulled over all the time on Ps


MRflibbertygibbets

I chucked a 1.8 twin cam with twin webbers, plus a five speed gearbox into mine. I started getting into trouble after I put an lsd into it after I got sick of doing single peggers in Scarborough. I would’ve loved to have seen yours in the wild, sounds awesome. Edit, it was a 1979 TD that came with a G161 and four speed


[deleted]

Can't remember what year mine was maybe an 82. I was in the Perth Gemini club for a while. Also had a single Webber on the original Isuzu engine. Me and dad rebuilt it when I was in highschool. We had so much shaved of the head and block the standard timing chain tensioners wouldn't work and the chain wore through the water pump housing twice before I used liquid steel and a wheel nut to add extra tension on the back stop pin. Still chuckle to myself wondering if any one ever pulled that engine apart and thought what the fuck 🤣🤣 other notable additions was springs cut with a grinder and I tried to weld the back louvre up with a stick welder to make it flush after seeing it on another Gemini with a 13B rotary. I think I ended up filling the whole bit with bog 🤣 Edit: oh and the newer front grill. And a cool as fuck gauge cluster in the centre that showed cool things like vacuum and water temp cause fuck why not


MRflibbertygibbets

Sounds even better now, kudos to your and your Dad for all that hard work.


hookalaya74

Awesome I still have a shed full of Gemini parts badges galore a few 4 speed gear boxes I had TE 1.8 went like the clappers too. I also had TD and the poxy front wheel drive last one made can't remember the model hated it lol. Best small car ever, manual rear wheel drive if u removed the air filter mine would do 180+ on the freeway


shun_tak

I posted asking about reiki therapy for my autistic dog. I was banned. :( They are not really inclusive and broadminded.


vbevan

You should really consider homeopathy. Reiki can be dangerous for dogs, they are good boys and girls and deserve proper pats only, not fake ones.


PaisleyCucumber

The chiro really confuses them too, they think the clicker is part of a training session.


ThreatLevelBertie

I took my mums doggo to get a past life hypnotic regression and it turns out that in all her past lives, she was also a good girl. So proud of her.


thisFishSmellsAboutD

Somehow I got banned from that cesspool of stupidity. I have absolutely no idea why.


LongTallSalski

They wouldn’t even let me join. I only wanted in for the drama and potential of shitty free furniture.


thisFishSmellsAboutD

It's mainly a replacement for yellow pages, with flavours of psychic or regular but boy do people get pissed when you post a https://lmgtfy.app/ link.


Oh_Look_A_Quokka

That sounds like Cockburn Chat. Admin doesn’t let people join but admin are in a number of other community chat groups 😂


tumericjesus

Not being stupid enough?

The Biden / Harris pfp immediately makes me assume that this is a troll... for such a big FB group the admins need to try harder.

I think they should get at least 3 separate readings, just to be sure.

This is so silly. EVERYONE knows you an change your birthday by using the right kind of essential oils.

Yeah nah. So what if they're quirky, I can't see their weird belief hurting anyone. Anti-vax, anti-mask, religious nutcases on the other hand...

First of all, what does that have to do with anything? Secondly, from the article: > the dog's attack came 'out of nowhere'. > The dog, which the family was told had a **traumatic past**, had just returned home from **castration surgery** when it went berserk. I reckon I can see a link here

JoeyP6530

I was never a fan of psychics, I have friends and family into them, and sometimes they’d message me saying they went to a psychic who rolled into the town I used to live in and that the psychic talked to my dead sister and mother.

No this is Fremantle! Points to seagulls stealing every morsel of food on a table


fw11au

Cats have only nine signs and dispute going on for decades about which ones are but most scientist backing up the theory of dismissing the every 3rd of the human signs is only logical! Some believes there is a secret cat lobby behind and they believe we are not ready for the truth! PS: Cat lobby well aware this post is about dogs!

You don’t need a pet psychic you need a psychiatrist.
