Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I’m not trying to get you to do anything. You have a real self-centeredness complex. I’m only pointing out that you’re wrong to suggest that it’s not worth it to have a membership to a store.
As for the last bit, that would require me to be mad. Unlike you, I don’t wish ill will on people for no reason.
How is it wrong (using your words here) for a family of 2 to not be able to justify a Costco membership? You say I can't do basic math so I want to see your breakdown. Clearly you're right and that's why you keep responding 🤣
We use about 5 rolls of tp a month and don't drink excessively so let us see those numbers fly.
Be sure to clear it with Costco HR, wouldn't want to misrepresent your products.
I never said it was wrong for a family of 2 to do anything. You’re just being dishonest now. You said that this is akin to Amazon adding ads or some other nonsense or Netflix backtracking on account sharing. I’m just pointing out that that is incorrect. Costco has never allowed you to share a membership outside of the household and the membership provides benefits that people are paying for. That’s it. That’s the whole thing.
Also, the fact that you think the only way someone would disagree with you is that they literally work for Costco is telling. Says a lot about how you view the world.
This is what you commented earlier.
This is in your last comment. Gaslighting is a terrible way to debate.
Also, I read your whole comment and saw ZERO mathematical functions.
I don’t see how what I said and what you claim are at odds or how anyone is gaslighting you. No one is gaslighting anyone. You’re just being dishonest.
If it’s worthwhile for even a single person, then your initial statement was wrong. I never said anything about a family of 2, you did.
My initial statement about my moral stance on corporate interests was my opinion. Opinions can't be wrong you dense fuckwit.
directly quoting your comment is "being dishonest". Right, enjoy your Costco card lmao.
You quoted it and then claimed I said something I didn’t. It is dishonest. Get outta here with that dumb “bet” shit. Use your words.
This you?
Lastly, "Outta" isn't a word, use REAL words like 'bet'.
Yes… and then you said that I claimed it wasn’t worth it for a family of 2. I never said that. You’re being dishonest.
Nice alt, bro.
I'd issue a response but you do not have a valid membership 🤷
You said it was wrong and that I couldn't do basic math. You had forgotten that people exists in a myriad of states and not every person has the same requirements as you.
So not only are you WRONG, you're being ignorant and doubling down on your bad-takes while pointing at me like I'm somehow to blame for the shame you feel. If you can admit you slipped up you may still learn something. Until then you can go fuck yourself in that Costco parking lot (assuming you have a valid membership card which I am beginning to doubt).
