Every store is a library of you shoplift
Yar
I don't really spend money on the internet. I'll order a physical item if I can't find it irl but other than that I never participate in the internet economy. If I want something I find... other ways... to get it. Or I just don't have it. Big whoop.
It's almost like the internet is still a library, but only the locals know where to find it. The main streets are all filled with various iterations of three big, commercial stores that pester you for your money. Funny thing is that the main streets these days have more pickpockets than the backstreets or the libraries.
Honestly same outside of books. My local book stores just don't have what I need.
Anna's Archive is a nice option if u dont mind a pdf
For some texts I'll live with a PDF but there is a satisfaction in physical books. My university library has been filling the void but I want have access to it much longer ๐
