Change the price of your new hotdog to $0.99 and people will think something is wrong with it. Keep the price where it's at, and then say that most people enjoy the hotdog, and more people are prone to buy it.

If you're dealing with peoples' things, same thing applies. They are convinced because they trust you, but if you offer them money, they will think something is wrong and back out of the deal.

We always say to fight fire, you must use fire. This is wrong. Fighting fire with fire will leave scars and a new flame will rise. We must instead use water. It is the opposite of fire, it extinguishes the fire, it cools, it refreshes, it heals. We are made up of 70% water, we are not made up of 70% fire. Please practice what we truly are
We need to hurry up and evolve past the need for any currency based system. I for one, welcome our machine overlords

no, that's a hella improper use of a semicolon. you want a regular comma if you don't want to reword the sentence.

Oh, hey.
That's because they'd do the favor without money, and if you offer them money they think something's wrong.

Yes, we do things for money. Just not everything. Where trust is involved, money muddles things. Where there are price drops in food, less quality is expected.

He gets it

a semicolon should break up two independent clauses; they often combine two related clauses better than a period.

Fun-pseudo-science fact(psy):
People are willing to say no to 50 bucks if someone else is the one who splits the money, and gives them less than 50%. By saying no nobody gets anything, but they do it because the other person doesn't deserve it.

In who wants to be a millionaire, a guy asked the crowd what revolves around the Earth, and 56% answered the sun. Then when he got it wrong the audience laughed. They didn't think such a stupid guy deserved the money.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
Well partly the reason I work is cuz it's a good time waster.

People who have used it and realize that there's barely a difference between the $15 toilet paper and then $2.50 toilet paper.

Why would you buy the $15 one if you're not looking for anything fancy? If you pay the customer some respect, get the person's attention and views etc, the customer will be satisfied and might buy the more expensive one.
