me as a child: this "$4.99" sales stuff is idiotic, anyone can instantly round this up to $5 in their mind, no one is falling for this
me as an adult: oh wow only $4 (with some additional numbers behind it), that's great because if it was a single dollar more that would have been the last straw for me in my miserable life
A year ago I got an anonymous message telling me that everything I post has already been foretold in a medium-sized book that they found in an eagle's nest in 2008. Now every time I publish a post they tell me where in the book it was foretold. Like they send a message just saying (for example) "page 85 line 10". The book isn't in order, so it's become sort of a personal hobby for them to find each day's post, and eventually cross out all the posts in the book, kind of like a birdwatcher's checklist. Once I asked them why they don't just send me the book so i know what posts to make and they responded:
three reasons. 1, the book is very wormeaten. theres still enough left to match up ur posts to the posts in the book (tho sometimes it takes MUCH scrutiny!) but not nearly enough that u could write the exact post just from seeing the remaining text. 2, dont u enjoy coming up with posts? it seems like a lot less fun for u to just copy them out of a book. 3, some of the posts contain information about ur future that u definitely wouldnt want to know yet. u couldnt handle it.
