I mean... pretty sure that's satire. The last sentence has "why waste time say lot word when few do trick" energy.

    They really made every possible error with there vs they're and all those common things as well. Gotta be satire/rage bait. 😄

    The majority of users on this platform just don't recognise satire until someone points it out.

    It’s because there are people who actually hold this opinion.

    A lot fucking less than the internet would have you believe. Take a second and examine all your evidence for believing "there are people who actually hold this opinion". Does it all come from the internet? Almost entirely from no-context screenshots or clips that seem suspiciously scripted? Do you think maybe those aren't the best sources?

    That's the problem every time these fake as shit posts are created. There are always folks in the comments that rush to defend it by going "well it might be fake THIS time, but it sounds like something that COULD happen, so I'm gonna still file it away as evidence that it does."

    Like, I'm sure SOME people exist like that. There are 8.3 billion people in this world, that's enough that you can always find a handful that believe anything. There is a non-zero number of people that enjoy eating literal shit, but that doesn't mean they are everywhere.

    And before you say it (because this is always the reply), if your evidence for their existence is the results of elections or the abundance of stupid people, that is faulty logic. There is an ocean of separation between people who are simply idiots, and those that actually hold opinions like "Libraries are a waste cuz they're full of books. Why book when internet?"

    Rating bullying on a scale of 1 to 5 is such a confusing way of doing it.

    Does the bullying have to be of a high quality with lots of originality in order to get a 5/5

    It might be satire but this is definitely a reflection of the truth for many. Take this as a sign to support your public library, they shouldn't be taken for granted.

    Agreed. I don't feel like satire that is making fun of important resources is very funny when plenty of people are trying to remove those public resources. Feels like getting mugged at knifepoint and handing them a gun to be ironic.

    A library is a place you go when you are a rebellious teenager and your parents didn't want you to have a computer (or maybe you had one but you being a dumb kid broke it), so you went there to get away from parents and use the library computer.

    (Yes I went to the library just to play some browser based Unity FPS game, cuz my laptop stopped working, that's me "playing outside" lol)

    (Also if your parents are poor and can't afford a computer or internet access)

    Also if you hate a teacher and wanted to skip class. (Okay kids please don't skip class, I was depressed and hated that class okay)

    Skipping class is valid, sometimes school is the worst

    I hated it lol.

    I ended up just taking the GED to skip doing actual school. I got College-Ready scores in the GED eithout studying, better than the GPA I had in highschool which was like 2 point something, the GED score equivalent is closer to like 3.7 or something

    My state college accepted me. But I didn't even finish a semester and I have depression. So... yeah... withdrew.

    It feels very shameful for me as an Asian American. It's very against the "model minority" sterotype. Pretty sure people, especially like people back in China would be judgy like: "Omg you're so privilaged¹ to move to America and didn't even get a university degree, what a waste of opportunity" (nobody said this, but this is how I think they'll react if they find out I don't have a degree)

    So yea... self esteem isn't very high.

    [¹It's not even really that "privilaged". Just a coincidence I got born into a family that has relatives in the US. It's not like we're rich or anything, just sheer luck of having the right blood relationships.]

    Libraries also provide help when filing taxes.
    Even if that internet thing was a argument.

    I just find it amazing that in the US you have to file your own taxes. It seems purposefully stupid.

    Surely you could just lie, so obviously they have to calculate the taxes themselves so why do they have you do it the first time?

    I've known someone who spoke like that in real life unfortunately. She might have had about the same literacy levels and opinions.

    I wish it was 0% but it's at least 20%.

    Why not higher? They couldn't really use a phone either, and this person somehow does.

    Of course she's upset. All they had were books and she can't read!

  • source

    I fully agree with this comment. It is not only libraries, but the entire publishing ecosystem that needs to change:

    1. Governments could host public servers for books, allowing everyone to download and read them freely.
    2. Authors should also be free to upload their own books and be compensated through tax funding, based on actual downloads or verified readership.
    3. Ideally, this would be supported by dedicated software—or even specialized reading devices—that can measure readership more accurately.
    4. For scientific and technical books, some form of professional review or certification could be used to increase their weight in the system, while purely entertainment content could be weighted less.
    5. Countries that share the same language could collaborate by pooling their book servers, creating shared linguistic knowledge spaces and reducing duplication of infrastructure.

    Yeah, missle gap, bay of pigs, escalation with the soviets only to finally have them step back and being proclaimed for resisting the advice of the guys who served at the pleasure of the president in the first place, Vietnam escalation. He was certainly a quintessentially American president.
