Ah but psychic readings are personal comissions, not mass marketable!
I ordered a cat scratcher. Cat scratchers are perfectly commodity things.. but mine wasn't. I ordered a handmade one. What I got shipped was a repurchase from Wayfair.
I sent a single picture of the box and got a full refund.
Yes, I got a cat scratcher but the handmade part was a material term of the deal.
Paying someone to do a psychic reading is not buying a paragraph of text. You are buying an action.
If you hire someone to tweet original tweets on your behalf and they just use a bot to retweet random clever sayings... they have in fact engaged in fraud!
- evandale 3y agoNobody has the ability to give you a psychic reading because psychic readings don't exist. I'm glad you brought up the paragraph of text because are literally buying a fictional paragraph. It can say anything and will still be a psychic reading. I'm struggling to understand how you can equate something that isn't real and something that's tangible.
- vorpalhex 3y agoI pay you to produce for me a drawing of a Blorgen. You think on this for a while and decide that instead of drawing a Blorgen, you are going to grab a random Google image and send it to me. That's fraud. But let's say you draw the Blorgen instead. What's a Blorgen? No idea. Maybe you draw a lizard person. Maybe it's an abstract piece. Even if you and I disagree on what a Blorgen is, the situation is no longer fraud. If I hire you to do a psychic reading for me and you decide to get naked, walk around a bonfire 3 times and then stream of consciousness pronounce whatever is in your head.. great. You did the commission. Even if your psychic fortune is "electric badgers like rock n roll radio", man, I have some issues but fraud ain't one.
- evandale 3y agoBlorgen is clearly an interpretation of something and a tangible piece of art. Psychic predictions are never psychic predictions because psychic predictions don't exist. Nobody in the universe can give you a psychic prediction.
- treeman79 3y agoHired into a place that had a crazy active astrology slack channel. Those people would believe anything as long as it wasn’t traditional mainstream. Of course they also told me how upset they were to hire a white man, something I wish they had mentioned Before hiring. so that kind of set the tone.
- qingcharles 3y agoNot sure if using cat scratcher as fictional example or actually ordered a handmade cat scratcher...
- vorpalhex 3y agoOh, so my cats are all insanely big cats. I don't mean fat, I mean big. They knock over cat scratchers all the time (and then go on to scratch other things like furniture). I also wanted a cat scratcher with a perch on top so my oldest can sit at the same height as the dining room table - he likes sitting near me at meals but I also don't want him on the table. So yeah I needed a cat scratcher with a certain base size and a specific height and have no interest in a woodworking project. Instead I just wanted to pay $50 to have someone else make it. (The other cat scratchers I buy are $70 a pop so really not a cost issue. At that point you get a cat scratcher that lasts 5+ years, looks nice and is big enough my cats will actually use it)
- qingcharles 3y agoThank you for satisfying my curiosity. I totally understand. A lot of the pet products you buy in the big box stores are really cheap crap.
