  • What a narcissistic thing to say: “oH, We HavE tHe LArGeST EConOMy, mILItaRY, and blah blah blah”. There are many countries in the world that have dealt with serious problems before Trump was ever elected, would have still dealt with those problems if Kamala won the election, and will continue to face these problems after Trump’s term.

    You’re speaking from your high seat of privilege ignorant of the happenings in other places. What gives you the right to tell me how my life is going to be affected because of this. Like Kamala was some fucking Messiah that would have rid the world of all its problems.

    Get off your high horse man. There are places that have been shitty before you were ever born, and will be shitty after your death.


  • No no no, why would we want to MOVE on from this 🧐👆. I MUST voice out my DISSATISFACTION with this election’s results 😤🇺🇸 even in NOn political spaces 💪 in the process shrouding other content that has nothing to do with it👏. I must also make it known to NON AMERICANS just how much this affects them as well 😔😔 because AMERICA 🇺🇸😤🦅 is the CENTER OF THE WORLD.

    RAHHHH!! WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅👮🔫🔫🔫🔫🙍🏿‍♂️














  • The decoy effect is one of my favourites. It occurs when your preference for one of two options changes dramatically when a third, similar but less attractive option is added into the mix.

    For example, in Dan Ariely’s book Predictably Irrational was a true case used by The Economist magazine. The subscription screen presented three options:

    Web subscription - US $59.00. One-year subscription to Economist.com. Includes online access to all articles from The Economist since 1997

    Print subscription - US $125.00. One-year subscription to the print edition of The Economist

    Print & web subscription - US $125.00. One-year subscription to the print edition of The Economist and online access to all articles from The Economist since 1997.

    Given these choices, 16% of the students in the experiment conducted by Ariely chose the first option, 0% chose the middle option, and 84% chose the third option. Even though nobody picked the second option, when he removed that option the result was the inverse: 68% of the students picked the online-only option, and 32% chose the print and web option.

    The idea is that you’d spend the money on the option you think is “a steal” even though you had no previous plans of purchasing it.
