The more I learn about behavioral economics, the more I realize that most people are just barely functional automata that could be suckered into anything with the right application of principles.
And this depresses me.

Even Google knows they can’t sell me anything.
Most ads I get are for alcohol, and I don’t buy according to ads, I buy alcohol/volume.

I’ll never forget the first time I was advertised my favorite whiskey.
I had never looked it up, never Googled it. And rarely even looked into alcohol. And yet, through their algorithm, they advertised me my favorite whiskey, cigars, and one of my favorite restaurants.

My father was a Marketing Director for a company, he was damn good at it too. But that was the one thing he hated. Manipulating to make a quick buck.

Nothing we actually need is advertized for. If a product has to advertise then I know I don’t need it, or they wouldnt need to advertise.
I never even ate at any of the resteraunts I worked for.

Tomorrow will be the 30th Anniversary of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
The Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities estimated after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake that the probability of a magnitude 7 earthquake in the next 30 years in the San Francisco Bay region was 67 percent. (U.S.G.S. Circular 1053)

Okay, I guess.

We usually get a big quake here every 10 years or so. On 4 more months it will be the 10th anniversary of the 9.5 megaquake and megatsunami we got on 27/2, so I know that feeling.
The experts said it was so powerful that the Earth’s axis shifted for a little while.

We try to keep a sizable earthquake kit ready just in case of that. Everyone in a large quake zone should.

I wanted to watch some anime but my ISP is experiencing a nationwide outage. Lovely.

Quakes are part of our national lifestyle, so practically every house here has a stash of bottled water, non perishable food and a solar radio/flashlight/phone charger combo.

People here seem less proactive, but we store food, water, a generator, weapons, medical/trauma kits, extra gasoline for the generator or truck for if we had to abandon the house. And miscellaneous things like lights, dog food, batteries, radio, etc. I’m pretty sure we qualify as preppers at this point.

Sound like very proactive indeed.
We (mostly) don’t care much about our houses here, because they are (mostly) built to withstand quakes and disasters like that- my parent’s house has 2 quakes under it’s belt and the house I live with has three, yet it stands solid as always.
Old houses, as in century old adobe houses and buildings are a different thing, though. For people living there, they limit themselves to apply plan RLF and that’s it.

I’ve moved so many times, I don’t honestly know what this current house is rated to withstand, but living in Los Angeles, We always have to consider “the big one” that is supposedly long over due.

I got to do an analytical map on a book I haven’t even read yet, but at least the teacher changed his mind and made it due on Monday. Also I am pissed on MBA for forging documents to make Perfection a pedophile. Perfection was the enemy, but it didn’t have to go that far.
