  Your meme has inspired me to renew my library card.

    We should all aspire to be the Oceans 11 heist of having a library card.

  Yup. Tbh, memory in general is theft. You should not be able to have the memory of the book you read unless you keep paying for it. Really should be introducing subscription models for memories of experiences, like reading. Otherwise it’s lobotomy for you.

  Best option is to just buy the book and not read it! That’s the best option for the publishers.

    Nah someone could potentially pick up the book and read steal it. The proper way to respectfully buy a book is to burn the book itself and stick the empty sleeve on display to give the publisher the ad they deserve.

  When you’re a die-hard capitalist:

  First time I’ve ever seen anyone speaking out against lending and borrowing.

  source

  • Credibly_Human@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I believe they are speaking in jest, hence the comical premise and imagery which is a reversal of a common meme used to criticize capitalism.

    • JcbAzPx@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Maybe. There’s no real way to know anymore with all the batshit crazy opinions people genuinely hold.

        I definitely get this, but sometimes I decide it must be meant as a joke because it’s easier to respect them as a person if it is

        Sure, but on a platform with this many leftists, it wouldn’t be upvoted if the message communicated wasn’t this. They also almost certainly would not expect it to be a successful comment if this wasn’t their intention as well.

      Ok. Sometimes I don’t bother trying to tell apart a joke from a real concern. I mean, who knows what a struggling publisher would say. No worries.
