Some couples keep separate budgets, so they can buy whatever they can afford without consulting the other person. But buying your spouse or a kid a $60,000 Christmas present is definitely rich people shit.
Obviously, the assumption is one spouse supplies all the money, housing, trips, etc., while the other receives adoration and gifts. It’s the huge social stereotype some of us are expected and/or forced to play out.
No, apparently Overdrive offers digital delivery of movies now as well as books. I haven’t tried it yet, though, but they have been great for checking out library books on my phone.
That’s cool. But the idea of a due date on digital media is also completely absurd, just give me the file. The entire point of libraries is to freely share information after all.
One note about the due date thing: There’s no fees because it’s automatic.
They gotta play ball with license holders to offer any kind of service like this at all lol. As much as I also agree with “freely distribute all the things”
I also believe things that are free to copy and distribute should be free, but public institutions have to work within the legal framework we have and a digital library analogue is a perfectly adequate and painless work-around. Besides, you can typically check things out for weeks at a time, so it’s not like you’ll be pressured to watch it fast.
For me personally, this comment rings true, but the reality is that if you do feel this way (like I), then you were never the audience for this add. Believe it or not, still plenty of people out there with buy-a-car-as-a-present kind of money.
Think lottery winner, successfully YouTuber buying their parents a car as a thank you, plain old old money types …
There are people out there that can give a 100k+ gift to their partner other.
According to Google there are about 1.3 million households that make over 500k a year in the United States. That’s not a big number compare to the total population but it’s a big number.
Those families and many others are able to afford something like that if they want too. Notice the homes in those commercials are always very nice aswell. If you cant afford that, then you are simply not the target audience.
There are some movies that just don’t exist on streaming. I’ve torrented movies, then looked them up to see what service they’re streaming on, and you just can’t watch them, not even an option to pay for it.
