Still, more and more profs are using turnitin.com for submitting essays. I have no idea what percentage is actually allowed to show up as possibly plagiarized, or if professors even care assuming the majority is definitely the person's own work. It does scare me enough to never actually plagiarize.

i've had profs who say they wouldn't make students submit papers to turnitin.com but they have to, university policy i guess... so i doubt they even take that into account unless its 100% plagiarized according to turnitin

Well, I wasn't really posting with plagiarism in mind. I was more so saying that you can basically say you got all of your information from certain books, and simply take it all from Wikipedia and reference the book as your source and they will never have a clue. There are simply far too many students to check all of your sources, not to mention most professors don't even want to. If you say you used "academic" sources, that's good enough for them.

Oh and more sources=higher grade in most situations. Just go to the university library and get a bunch of books related to your topic, write down the information you will need for your works cited or references page, and copy them all down, and then get your information from wherever the hell you want instead of searching through thousands of pages of books, but still cite the books as your sources.

Worked at a novelty store for a while. Girls would sneak a pair of underwear with them when they were trying on a costume or lingeire and leave there bloody/shitty pair in the dressing room to clean up. 95 oercent of strippers are drug addicts, the rest are rich.
If you dont care what people think you can basically get ahead at anything...

In advertising, the color yellow is associated with hunger. Think about it. McD, Burger King, Wendy's.

I've always done that. Since high school, through college.

I'd probably buy a book that gives you ideas of how to make more in your spare time. Books are awesome for learning to make money.

The place where I'm at has a lot more costs than that. Cheese costs a lot, and a lot of cheese goes on a pizza. We get sorrento cheese, which is some of the best cheese you can buy, so maybe that is why.

With hash, what you're looking for is density, and with weed you want good sized buds with a light colour, people like that no matter how good/bad it smokes. Whatever you do just dont get long, stemmy type of buds, doesnt go down well even if it is chocolate thai.


If you are a hustler, and one of your peoples comes around and has dirty shoes on either they leave or you leave because they are about to either a) beg for shit, b) steal shit, c) snitch, or the worst and most common being d) try all of the above.

edit: dirty shoes are so far the best indicator of brokeness that I've seen.

I don't know anything about coke, but as for hash and weed you are totally off. I have seen amazing bubble hash and kief that isn't pressed, therefore it isn't dense at all. Good sized buds have good sized stems. I would rather pick up weight of buds that most buds were about a gram or so. People do not like buds that smoke bad if they are big and light in color. You must be in the south or somewhere that has mainly shit mexican brick weed or something. In the NYC area, if your bud doesn't smoke well, you aren't going to sell it.

I mean, obviously the fruity dank shit has a higher probability of being good stuff, but there's really no guarantee. If the THC content is high, then you've got good stuff, regardless of the other characteristics.

You don't smoke enough weed I guess. You can easily tell how good weed is by look and smell. It is not even a question. Within 5 seconds of look and smell I can tell how much the weed is worth and how well it will smoke. Anyone that was a huge pothead in an area where premium buds are MUCH more expensive then regular buds can probably do the same thing.
