Title: Fast buck hack
Post by: Pseudoscience-is-malarkey on 23/05/2023 15:59:29

Go onto public transportation, particularly a subway (where people are forced to listen to you until the next stop) and say you're a disabled vet that fought in the Falklands, Afghanistan, Gulf Wars I or II, etc, and that you're a poor family man that needs a little scratch to feed them. Whether the people support the war(s) you were in or not, you will get money from many of them. After you collected the money, announce to everyone that you're actually not a vet but a method actor doing research for a work about down-on-their-luck vets, and need money to fund your broke troupe or whatever. After collecting money for that, announce that you're not an actor, but mentally insane who thinks he's an actor and cannot get adequate help due to cuts in NHS mental health funding and require money for help in the private sector

   They do...

We are all bound by law, and we cannot host material that contravenes the law.
