Fuck yeah libraries.

Mine has a "this is how much you've saved using the library instead of buying this fiscal year" segment on the receipts. Last year was around $1600.

Who said anything about it being bad?

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh lol no one I guess.

I read it as “yeah fuck libraries” when I was stoned last night.

My bad.

So "fuck yeah" is a positive comment, while "yeah fuck" is negative?

Yep. Language is the shit, but its logic is shit.

Lojban to the rescue!

Grammar. It's the difference between knowing your shit and shitting your pants.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, there should be a comma in “yeah, fuck libraries” but yes.

[–] Kornblumenratte@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

Now I get it! Thanks.

We're denying someone profit on the potential sale of whatever the library provides.
