IRL convo I had just the other day:

Sister: "Can you loan me some money and take me to the bookstore?"

Me: "Why?"

Sister: "So I can get a book."

Me: "Why not check it out from the library?"

Sister: "I want to keep the book."

Me: "Why not check it out from the library, and then never return it?"

/S

becsuse apparently nothing is absurd enough anymore to actually notice when the intent is humor.

    There’s nothing wrong with buying something if you feel it is a good value, especially if you plan to keep it in the long term.

    Much better than stealing from our public services.

    If you intended it as a joke, can you please add a /s or something to indicate it is a joke, when it’s not obvious? It does not read as a joke to me, but as a serious comment. It can be difficult to understand the author’s intended tone by just reading text.

    Thank you!
