well,you're wrong

get a nice car/truck could make you happier...because you're not driving some beat up crap can that's breaking down all the time or taking a bus
having a house could make you happier because you don't have to live in some apartment/condo where you can't go outside and have some space for yourself

but relying only on these things to make you happy won't actually make you happy

i thought it was b.s. as well until 2 of them went bad last year and started giving me weird headaches (not toothaches) that doctor couldn't figure out. so you know, just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit softly.

K&N air filters. Literally one of the worst things you can do to a daily driver. If you live in a dusty area you can literally kill your engine in short order. Sure they flow more air but also flow more particulate. Racing applications (low miles) with clean roads ect sure go for it.

It doesn't pay itself off. YOU can pay it off, if you are able to get a job in that field and choose to work in that field for the next several years.

But tons of people get useless degrees in the first place, and others decide that's not what they want to do and end up not using their degree. In that case it's a complete waste

Even if you stay in that field, the degree still doesn't need to cost so much. The price alone makes it a scam

Eh come on bro you're really that dumb? All the money you spent on rent you will never see again. All the money you spent on your mortgage you get back once you sell the house. Plus lots more, since 95% of the time you sell for more than what you paid.

Many Germans think that we should not have let in so many Refugees. Our Grundgesetz ("constitution") states that we will give shelter to everyone who has to leave his country because of politically persecution. AFAIK this is because when Germans fled in WWII they got sent back by other European countries and many died because of persecution. This law can't be changed easily, as the right to bear arms in the USA can't be changed easily.

ITT miscers post things they don't like.

Thread would've been much more interesting if people actually provided context as to why they thought certain things are scams (besides the obvious ones like those multi-level marketing pyramid schemes)

Team based politics.

Was a (D), then a (R), then realized that neither "team" has goals other than destroying the other team with an army of mindless automatons.
Eat in a deficit to lose weight.
Hit your protein and fat minimums to stay healthy and keep your gainz.
