I did 97 meth deals ($45 each).

That's $4365 in passive income.

I don't even have any meth and just gave them sugar crystals.

Yeah, that's straight up fraud btw

if they had had an apartment to rent out it would've been totally OK and not fraud and a very normal thing to expect a landlord to do though 😅

No I'm pretty sure that's the guy that loves cocain and wants to fuck his mother

No, you're thinking of pioneering psychologist Sigmund Freud.

Fraud is when a rope begins to break one stand at a time

[–] dylanmorgan@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 week ago (6 children)

No, that’s frayed. Fraud is an amphibian known for hopping.

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, that’s frog. Fraud is the opposite of frozen.

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (7 children)

No, you're thinking of thawed.

Fraud is a type of long robe or gown

"I have passive income" is literally just "I run online scams".

This is no different from people in places like india doing phone call scams.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 35 points 1 week ago

Yes that would be the joke.

Application fees? For renting? Man America is cooked.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 53 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Don't forget the downpayment and the security deposit and first and last months rent. Oh and if you break the lease you have to pay 4 months rent or the remainder of the rental period, whichever is higher

[–] Pirky@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Don't forget that your landlord forces you to pay through a 3rd party company that charges a "convenience" fee of ~3% so your $600 rent is actually $620.

Ask me how I know.

Lmaooo Dudes, US people have no business making fun of communist if they do things like this. What do you mean you pay for an application for rent a space to living for????

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 62 points 1 week ago (2 children)

We also sometimes have to pay "pet rent", and no this does not cover pet damages.

[–] ViscloReader@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (18 children)

No fucking way this has to be a joke

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

My cat costs me $30 per month in pet rent. And she still has the gall to lay around and complain like she pays the rent.

Not to be a capitalist pig but even under capitalism in the USA that is just fraud.

[–] teagrrl@lemmy.ml 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Most people have no ability or funds for recourse and justice. It's just going to be a SOL moment.

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 4 points 6 days ago

My friend has a slumlord next to him doing this, he's charging $250 per application and rejecting everyone. So my friend is renting his spare room to his last tenant and thinking about suing. Fucks up the neighborhood.

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 1 week ago

yeah, that's not passive income

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Americans be like "we're the free-est nation in the world!" then do shit like pay application fees
