  • It’s a dark pattern. Maybe at one point in time people would be tricked into believing $3.99 was emotionally a lot less than $4 but we’ve grown up with it now for several generations. Everyone knows it costs more anyway because of taxes not being applied until the register. The mistrust is built into the system out of tradition more than anything.





  • Mine and my roommate’s Hyundais were stolen. His was stolen by a child. We know this because the high schooler that stole my roommate’s car kept parking it randomly around the neighborhood because he obviously couldn’t bring it home to his parents and parked the car directly in front of our house (he stole it from a train stop so didn’t know). We caught the kid when he came back for it. The kid was 16.

    Mine was stolen and then used in 3+ more hijackings involving a gun according to the FBI agent assigned to my case.
