#fake discount

[miniar]

Originally, Black Friday sales were a way of clearing out old stock to make space for the next version coming out just in time for the holidays.

This isn't the case any longer as christmas has been creeping into earlier and earlier in the year AND the difference between releases is decreasing, AND the releases are spaced throughout the year.

So currently, these sales exist purely to make you buy shit.

Consequently, there's no real reason for the stores to lower their prices because they don't actually need the space for new stock.

They will however try to make you believe that you're getting a special deal because the so called "sales" exist PURELY to get you to buy more shit.

SO... they'll mark up prices, sometimes in advance, to try and trick you into believing you're paying a discounted price when you're actually paying full, sometimes more than full, price, to encourage you to buy more shit.

"It's such a good deal, it's 30% off!"... No it's not. It used to be 300, then they raised it to 500, now it's 350 with the "discount". That's actually 117% the original price instead of the 70% they say you're paying.

Some countries... that's fucking illegal you know.

So... yeah...

I'm fucking proud to see posts on social media of people going over this and explaining this and telling on this, but even more than that, I'm genuinely impressed to see posts where there's images of piles of product that stores fully expected to sell to you at full price while pretending a discount's involved in any way and people just weren't buying it.

I mean, I know the rising cost of living makes it even easier to skip the new tv at an inflated price that's been then marked down to over the original price, but still.

It's beautiful to see the lies rewarded with the response they're fairly owed. Nothing.

I just found out that my work has styrofoam heads of Frankenstein and his Bride, and I desperately desperately want to buy them and paint them.

#monster high #kinda #frankenstein #frankenstein's bride #frankenstein's monster #you just know they're gonna be yassified...im already thinking about buying some fake lashes #debating if i want to paint them like the skullector dolls or just do my own thing #the skullector dolls designs are kinda basic tho i wanna give them heterochromia like frankie #they have zombie heads too... #they're like $5 each plus with my discount they'd be like $3 #and the sculpting is pretty decent #text post #the bride doesn't have ears tho and it looks weird #i might get some air dry clay and try to sculpt them idk

Did a health assessment for my insurance because a high score can lower my monthly payment by like $25, and it's trying to say I'm not active enough. Like. Hello? I work 50 hours a week and I'm still more active than anyone else I know. I just walked 5 miles to get books and lunch. That's further than most people I know walk in a month. Why is the standard for "healthy" so much higher than the average American can attain? I'm forming a new conspiracy theory here..

#usa #america #hellscape #capitalism #health insurance #scam #i almost never log less than 10 miles a week. how is that not active?? #the bmi thing was also telling me I'm way too overweight so maybe that contributed? #and like yeah. sure. I'm a little overweight. but I'm also kinda jacked under the fat? my weight is almost entirely muscle?? #the only places i hold extra fat in are around my gut and thighs. does bmi take into account when people have tit and ass? i doubt it! #but whatever. it's all so fake. i just wanted that sweet sweet discount but instead I'm dealing with deez cunts.

#this is about #the sound of metal #its an incredible film i wont discount that #but W H Y not CAST an actual deaf person for the lead?? why #also with lou! #there are so many actors out there with scars #i am not deaf but i DO have very visible self-harm scars #and yea it makes me kinda uncomfortable to see fake self harm scars done with fx makeup so you can #portray a character with scars without just casting someone who looks like the person you need them to look like?? #just sick of it tbh #self harm tw #self harm mention #mental illness #miscasting #disability #neurodivergence
