I’m actually shocked

I’m not. Ever since the war, every single closet xenophobe of the west has been taking full advantage of finally having an acceptable group of subhumans to hate. If any of this surprises you, you haven’t been paying attention.

Frankly that sounds like “OK, I did install a camera in your bedroom, but it’s not like it’s on or anything!”

And they do. My Philips TV didn’t even ask for DNS until hardcoded IPs for Netflix et al. timed out. And when it did, it asked Google, not my router.

Simple, we wrrie down the information on how to read the discs!

Oh, it’s not the concern that’s funny, if they had that selfawareness it would be admirable. Instead, you have people pat themselves on the back for how aware they are every time they encounter a validating piece of propaganda they, of course, fall for. Big “I know a messiah when I see one, I’ve followed quite a few!” energy.

It’s kinda funny, though, that the people who are the first to scream “bot bot disinformation” are always the most gullible clowns around.

Welcome to post-structuralism, enjoy the ennui. And the cognac.

Also true.

Sure, but then you’re trusting the server not to just lie about the totals.

“Mr. President, we cannot alOow a tankie gap!!!”

I feel like there shoul be an ISO/DIN to define this.

It’s just th enclosure continuing in the non-physical space.

It’s like he became the opposite of King Midas.

Why steal data when you can just make it up!

Or, yknow, don’t.

You mean decacelsius?

The problem isn’t the effect, the problem is you don’t seem to understand what it actually does. The idea is to reduce the price in such a way that a small discount appears larger, increase sales, and make the reduction back in volume. It works, and makes sense, and is done, if and only if you compete on price and trade in volume.

Your title is, at the time of writing: “People live their whole lives watching corporations end prices with 99 yet when they list their own items for sale they choose a whole round number and never question it.” This thread is full of people giving you reasons why they don’t or wouldn’t do that, meaning they clearly do question it, and are deciding against it.

Not if the intention is to make it look expensive. Bugatti’s don’t sell fot 499999.

No, this is proving the use case different: Your logic would put the car at 9995, to present it as cheap. The actual advice is to put it at 12000, higher, to present it as expensive, and then “allow” the buyer to haggle you down.

You mean 5$ less
