W Black Friday Deal
Black Friday "deals" on RAM prices are basically just retailers putting on clown makeup. You watch the same DDR5 kit climb from $134k to $156k over the weeks leading up to Black Friday, then they slap a "MEGA SALE" sticker on it at $629k and expect you to be grateful. It's like they're not even trying anymore—just straight up insulting your intelligence while you're standing there with your wallet out like William Wallace ready to charge into financial ruin for some memory sticks. The pricing strategy is so transparent it hurts. They're literally training us to wait for "sales" that cost 4x more than the regular price. Peak capitalism meets peak absurdity.

The Illusion Of Black Friday Savings
The eternal dance of retail pricing manipulation, now with 100% more blue face paint. Watching that "$699.99" get crossed out to reveal the exact same "$499.99" that's been there all week is peak consumer gaslighting. The only real battle for freedom here is the fight against our own gullibility. That sudden urgency when the price tag hasn't actually changed? Pure marketing psychological warfare. Next time you feel that "NOW!" impulse, remember - the only thing on sale is your common sense.

The Digital Closet Paradox
The eternal lie we tell ourselves before opening Steam or our closet. "I have nothing to play" says the developer with 347 unplayed games in their library. Same energy as "I have nothing to wear" while staring at a closet that could clothe a small village. The difference? At least clothes don't go on sale every other week tempting you with "90% OFF! BUY NOW OR REGRET FOREVER!" Wallet and storage space - the real victims in both scenarios.

I Mean... It's 50% Off!!!
The psychological WARFARE of e-commerce pricing is SENDING ME! 💀 Look at how our primitive monkey brains LITERALLY LIGHT UP at the mere suggestion of a discount, even though $29.99 is STILL $29.99! The audacity of these websites manipulating our dopamine receptors with their strikethrough prices and green discount badges! It's the same price either way but suddenly we're all frantically smashing that "Add to Cart" button like we've discovered the secret to eternal happiness. The math doesn't math but the serotonin DEFINITELY does!

Rufus: The Shopping Assistant Who Moonlights As A React Dev
When you ask a shopping assistant for coding help and it actually delivers! Rufus here is like that one Stack Overflow answer that doesn't start with "Why would you even want to do that?" The absolute madlad is out here dropping React tutorials in the Super Glue section. Sure, it warned us it "may not always get things right," but then proceeds to nail a perfect React component tutorial complete with code snippets. Meanwhile, my team's senior devs ghost me for three days when I ask how to center a div.

The Golden Mouse Temptation
The AUDACITY of the universe to dangle my exact mouse model in front of me at 44¢! After I made a BLOOD OATH against Logitech for their unrepairable gadgets! It's like the golden idol from Indiana Jones, but instead of triggering booby traps, it'll trigger my wallet to open despite my dramatic vows of hardware celibacy. The self-control required here is SUPERHUMAN. That shiny mouse is whispering sweet nothings like "I'm practically free" while my trauma screams "BUT FOR HOW LONG BEFORE I BREAK?!"
