It's not all-or-nothing. I'd rather have a choice instead of none.
- geoduck14 1y ago>It's not all-or-nothing. I'd rather have a choice instead of none. I used to work adjacent to car financing. One of the "tricks" used in car negotiating is the "fake choice": "oh, you want to pay less for the car? Well. I can give you X OR Y for FREE!". Now you spend time thinking if you want X or Y, forgetting thay they are worth $200, and what you really want is $1000 less on the car. Be careful with the "choice" you think you are making
- RIMR 1y agoDon't let the illusion of having a choice make you feel like you have a choice. Having only one choice is equal to having no choice. Having only two choices isn't notably better, especially if both options are equally bad.
- b_e_n_t_o_n 1y agoIf I want pasta, and I can chose from 10k options, but none of which are pasta, is it really any different than if I had one option?
- wredcoll 1y ago> Having only two choices isn't notably better, especially if both options are equally bad. This is getting pointlessly non-specific. The world rarely has two equally bad choices and that description absolutely does not apply to american elections.
- vasco 1y agoDo you want to eat a plate of worms or do you want to eat a plate of spiders?
- card_zero 1y agoSpiders, probably. What kind of worms?
- recury 1y agoMealworms, it’s right there in the name
- intrasight 1y agoDo you want to die from hanging, lethal injection, firing squad, electrocution?
- card_zero 1y agoLethal injection if done right, otherwise firing squad. What are you trying to demonstrate? Some choice is still better than no choice.
