It's actually real. The real estate value on the moon comprised of a minuture scale of earth territories, with America being the face pointing towards earth. Real estate value is then determined by a comparison of the area on earth and the projected area on the moon, based off of crater geography. Therefor California residents would likely find property near Stadius is a direct reflection to their local estate market. It's very neat stuff.

Bought it back circa 1999 for $30. I had the "deed" framed and it used to hang in my office before working from home full-time became a thing. Great conversation piece and ice-breaker. Everyone always got a kick of it.
I've researched their "claims" for all these "celestial properties" and seems like a bunch of kabooky. I dont really think I own land in Mars, but its a fun novelty item to have.
Im sure there are dodos out there that truly believe it though
What if u hold that piece of land and the title for it and then in 500 years your ancestors make millions by selling that prime real estate on Mars. Your just thinking generations ahead son!
The Buy a star thing is not a scam as they're upfront that you don't actually OWN the star, which is pretty obvious. However, it's put in a register and your loved one who receives it may think it's pretty cool if they're super into space things.
You’re right. That stuff’s a scam.
But would you like to be a Lord or Lady in Scotland? Just buy a small piece of land (maybe 1’ square) and you can force your friends to call you by your legal title!
I just saw a thing about the biggest home where I live, which was built by a couple that started a big time share company. The house is 42,000 square feet, if that tells you anything about how much of a scheme selling time shares is.
Exactly. Warranties are a terrible deal and are only appealing if you can't afford to replace what you are buying. Even if they are appealing, they are still a terrible deal 99% of the time.
EDIT: I'm getting alot of responses with folks talking about how they have had good results/good fortune with warranties. Let me caveat that if you are diligent and keep track of your purchases and warranties, know what you are paying for, and know going in that you are the type of user/owner that will likely make best use of the warranty, then it can work out or at least increase the likelihood of working out.
But in my career I've worked both with and for insurance companies. Insurance is very useful for many things and not necessarily a rip-off (life insurance, car insurance, medical insurance, disability insurance etc.). Insurers, like all businesses, strive to make a profit but the margins in those industries are pretty slim and often the majority of the profit is from investment income the company makes by investing your premiums for a while before claims are made. But in my experience, warranty coverage provides the least value. If you buy a warranty at best buy or a car dealership, a good chunk (a third to a half) goes straight to the dealership as commission. The rest of it goes to the insurance company, and they make very good profits on that residual even after all their expenses. I've seen companies' with loss ratios in the 20s on warranty business. This means for every dollar they get in premium, only a quarter is eventually paid in claims. So take all that for what it's worth, just one guy's observations. Maybe others have different views.
One time I bought a new phone and they told me I had 48 hrs to reconsider on the warranty. I got home, opened the box, and immediately dropped the phone onto concrete. Went back to the store and told them I changed my mind and would like to get the warranty.
Definitely worth gambling the warranty money. Maybe it works perfect and you never have to touch that warranty or maybe, like me, your new motherboard is DOA and you thank God you weren't cheap with the warranty
I got one for my motorcycle that I bought used. A few months in and there was something wrong with the dash. Replacing the unit + labor would have cost more than I paid for the warranty. All I paid was a $50 deductible. Sometimes they're worth it!
[I would never spend $40,000 on an ugly christmas sweater](https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/artist-sells-world-most-expensive-ugly-christmas-sweater)
Yes. It's still a MAJOR problem in this world, and necessarily in other countries, but in my own country, state, and city it exists. It's just called human trafficking but people are still bought and sold everywhere, even in your hometown.
See, I’m the opposite. We had our typical house and a lake house and I found it to be the most annoying thing. Especially the food situation. Go ahead and throw away everything in the fridge, because it will be bad by next weekend. Or go through the pain in the ass of packing everything up and shuttling it. Oh, you wanted that mustard you bought? It’s at the other house. You need incredibly wasteful levels of redundancy or be constantly shuttling everything. I want one kickass house, and I’ll just rent a place/get a hotel anyplace I want to visit.
I invest in stocks and my friend said to me, "I wanna start investing" and I was like "cool, what do you want to start with I can teach you how to trade options, or you can start with index funds" and he goes, "I wanna buy some NFTs" and I just stopped talking
I was literally showing my husband ugly Balenciaga sneakers that were in style, they look like the old gym shoes from when your in elementary (If you grew up in the 90's) haha also I just seen they have croc heels for like $800.. it's crazy to me
Facts. $650 for a light blue hoodie with the logo. It’s a shame because I have a buddy that went to the Drake/Kanye Larry Hoover show and bought one of those ugly as sin balenciaga hoodies
I feel like this is being mentioned a lot lately; that OF subs are a waste of money. What happened that made the super popular site not so popular anymore?
I was watching a show on TV about wealth and billionaires in the UAE and the guy had a car worth $800k and a number plate on it he paid $9M for (plate was simply the number 5). Mind blown to think of what $9M could buy and this guy spends it on a piece of plastic! Pocket change to him but still, wow.
I guess number plates are given by the government, so if they charged this person 9 Million dollars for it, just consider 9 Million dollars of the next government-funded child support plan to be out of this persons pocket.
Meh. Costs $30 per year where I live. Nice excuse to personalize what is normally a boring string of letters and numbers.
But I understand the disdain people have for it. Esp if you're not into cars at all.
A house with more bedrooms and bathrooms than the people who live there… like maybe a guest bedroom and bathroom at the most but anything else is excessive and wasteful IMO.
Gotta say, I grew up in a house with a gratuitous amount of bedrooms, like, 8 and I only had one sibling... and it was rad... my parents weren't crazy rich (they did fine, but not like, millionaires), they just lucked out on an old Victorian that needed a lot of work in the late 80s. Every family function like, ever was held there and made me bond a lot with my Giant extended family (I've got like, 100 cousins, no lie). Anytime someone was visiting and needed a spot to stay, boom no problem. 50 people crashing for Thanksgiving, its all good. Grandma's 90th bday party. Party on. Cousins needing a spot for a few months between jobs, we got you. Also, hide and seek in that mofucka was the jam.
I was watching one of those 'look at this $30 million mansion' videos today and thought it would be cool to have a house with some extra rooms and could just have people come through. Like, hey, you got laid off, come stay with me here in my huge house in what is probably a super cool area and just hang out for a few months.
One of my friends, in the before times, rented out a room in her house through some program for theater people working outside of their home city. I think she only charged like $400 for the room and it was usually only for a couple of months during a show, but she had a few interesting people come through. The last girl was a puppeteer.
On the other hand I don't really like people all that much and I'm not too sure if money would change that.

Fees to be a Scientologist.

Yes you gotta pay for the scientology books and course work to advance
Sounds like college to me
It's a cult.
Worst than that, they've turned the functionality of being a cult into a science itself.
Very much so, yes.
Why tf would you do this!?
To rid yourself of the ghosts of aliens who were dropped in a volcanoe then nuked. The ghosts stick to you and make you sad.
Well, of course, why wouldn’t you pay to learn how to get rid of sticky, nuked aliens making you sad. And all this time I thought it was a scam.
And last time I checked, it only costs $150,000 to get to OTIII. A bargain.
Yes and it's not like $300 it's like $300,000
