As stupid as it sounds, there's just something about our silly human brains that makes us think that "$599" is significantly less than "$600."

Related: the fact that they don't show you the actual price that you will pay for products, expecting you to figure out the tax value yourself, is so arbitrary and annoying.

Well, actually it's a psychological exploit that makes people think a product is cheaper than it actually is. :I

Yup. There's actually (a lot of) very interesting research on the psychology of numbers when used in prices. In a nutshell though, psychologically a 9 as last number in a price triggers the impression of both "high value" and "a bargain."

With three effectively identical items priced at $34, $39, and $40, the majority of the purchases will be the $39 item. The mind be a crazy thing.

Ask anybody who spent time in East Germany if they'd want the Stasi back. Better yet, go to Cuba if you think it's so great.

People who think that video games (or other media) are an accurate representation of reality.
Exhibit A: shotguns.
No, shotgun pellets do not just disappear at one or two meters, nor do they have the spread of somebody just throwing the pellets. But many people think that's how they actually work…

I don't have a problem with the portrayal itself so much as I do with the people who think it's real.

I remember hearing someone say that you don't even have to aim a shotgun in close quarters due to the spread of the pellets...

I did not play he game but maybe it makes sense in terms of gameplay mechanics?

Yyunko said:

Kind of yes, kind of no. People were complaining about how good shotguns were so bungie nerfed them. What no one seemed to realize is that its really easy to out perform shotguns in certain close range situations. The problem arose when people were able to make their shorties good at short/medium range too (ie, close to the effective range of a real shotgun). They still weren't that good honestly...

But dem fusion rifles! MmmmMmmm

Speaking of patches, the fact that you can't reliably kill people with MAVs anymore in Battlefield 3. The MAV is a small remote-controlled aircraft intended to be used for reconnaissance or destroying enemy equipment. However, in the past, you were able to kill people with them very easily by smashing their faces.

The best part? The medics, who could revive somebody who got spent time under the treads of an M1A1 Abrams or shot to shit by 40mm quad-cannons, were unable revive people killed by an MAV.
Then DICE took its skull-crushing awesomeness away. The game just isn't the same.

Seeing people with light machine guns and missile launchers shoot wildly and flee in terror from a little robot was the best part.

People that throw things off of overpasses at cars below. Especially rocks and pumpkins. Fuck you if you do this. Fuck you for endangering others. If you do shit like this, you are the worst kind of person. It makes me so angry when kids do this because they think it's "funny." It's not.

While going under an over pass I once got hit with a bucket full of... well, I'm not exactly sure what, but it was gross and smelled terrible, and completely obscured my vision. Windshield wipers couldn't get it off quickly, so I was pretty much blind, on the freeway, at ~70 MPH for a good 30 seconds. Luckily it was at night so there weren't many other cars around, but still really dangerous.

How about when people are careless with your stuff and won't fess up? I had a B-29 model kit that was missing its cockpit canopy. I know it's because my mom dropped it. I also noticed that the wing was separated slightly. I had glued the wings so that they wouldn't fall off. When I went to push the wing back in, it snapped off in my hand. I just destroyed the rest and threw it in the trash. Thanks a bunch, Mom! I liked that model, and your clumsy ass just cost you $15. Oh, she will be buying me a new one. She owes me that much.

When I was still in my early teens, I had a SNES that had stopped working. Just some cables that had been over used and broken, I figured I'd replace them some day, so I kept it in my closed for a couple years, along with all the games, until then. Got home one day and noticed that my mom had inexplicably cleaned my closet... And i realized a couole days later that she threw away my SNES and all my games. Sadly, it was gone from the dumpster by the time I figured it out. Parents, what the fuck, right?

Well that always sucks, but you can always find new ones for relatively low price on ebay, I recently a Vectrex with games and packaging going for only 100 euros, you sometimes have luck.

This thread being inactive for over a month

Seriously though:

My car has a safety feature that causes an alarm to go off when a certain amount of weight is in the passenger seat and the seatbelt is not on.

So whenever I have groceries in the front seat, I have to take my eyes off the road (the alarm does not activate until after you start moving) because a sack of potatoes forgot to wear its seatbelt.

Why not just strap the potatoes in. That way if you get in a horrible accident at least your potatoes won't get all smooshed.

I expect them to take care of themselves

Its pretty irresponsably of your potatos to not put the seatbelt themselves, don't they think the trouble that could cause to you?

What if the police were to stop you? =3

We have click it or ticket here in Illinois. I guess if you don't strap in your spuds, it would be click it or po-ticket?

are you ready?

Inspirational songs n shit

Most of the time they don't even inspire me. In fact, they do the exact opposite, and make me feel worse, because of the fact that I don't have the means or chance to make the most of my life!

I wouldn't say most are like that. As with pretty much any group you can name, the loudest and most obnoxious few are the ones you notice and remember.

I am very calm and somewhat hippie, so basically this are the only things that makes me mad.

2-Reggaeton (you have a splendid life if you don't know it).

3-Long trips.

4-My Curly Hair.

Quite a lot of things piss me off, but if I had to make a list of 3...

1. Idiots/gullible people. *coughTumblrcough*
2. People who do not knock.
3. My awful memory.

1. Standing out in a way that makes you look awkward.
2. People who say your life will be better if you dont know of something as simple as a music genre.
3. Getting an amazing song stuck in my head but being unable to recall the name.
4. Forgetting what I was about to do in the process of starting the task.

I was having trouble coming up with things, until I read this.

One of the people in my online tabletop group always always links to that when I try to talk music (admittedly because I always turn to electronica at some point), either joking at how we all have radically different tastes or trying to poke fun at me or... something.

It's not that he links it, it's that he links that specific song.

Put bluntly, it's a flat, boring song with crap synths. I'd say it didn't represent the whole umbrella genre if it wasn't for Sturgeon's Law... Or maybe I just need to stop being a music hipster. Still hate it!
