    I still don’t get why people buy books… there’s ton of it at library

    I mean ya, but not the book I wanted to read specifically.

      lol …what? People buy books to have it accessible right at home and not have to drive to a library.

      Porn is accessible anywhere.

        What do you mean? I’d check the library website and it simply doesn’t have the book I want. It doesn’t matter even if I don’t mind going there.

      It will get to the library, sooner or later… so, from my POV there is no point in buying it. I’m a patient man, I can wait 🤷.

          Almost 0. I walk to work and back. I live about 5km away from where I work, that’s like a 30 minute walk (I used to ride my bike, but I need to fix it 😁). I rarely drive my car, weekends only or when I need to take the kid somewhere.
