you said you wanted the bluray, and that's the cheapest place to get that sort of low-iq blockbuster shit. mental margarine from the supermarket kiosk. two-buck chuck, and pick up some potato chips.

Yeah, but you often have to wait behind an overweight couple in sweatpants while they fight with their kids about how many games they can rent. I've tried, but I've never actually made it to the box.

grownups with jobs shouldn't be pirating unless it's rare/censored/out of print stuff. it's kind of embarrassing in this day and age i think, at least in countries with full access to everything online.

I don't do it often, really. Never with books, only in the direst of circumstances with music (and also, I only do it with albums that I have purchased and am waiting for, or albums I intend to purchase as soon as humanly possible.) Usually with a release that's important enough to me that I feel like I need to own the physical copy, in which case I'll consider a TPB visit while I'm waiting for te delivery. But I think the last time I did that was with the Life of Pablo, and I ended up subscribing to TIDAL for access to that thing, and then going to the official website and paying $20 for a digital purchase MONTHS after I'd already had access to it.
I try to be fair, but if an album "comes out" and I physically cannot buy it, then I will do what I have to do to be able to listen to it. I live in a small town for the first time in my life, and having no record store fucks up the whole process.
Same with movies. If I can, I'll rent, or go to the theater. But small town theaters don't show films like the Witch or Green Room, so my being employed an adult has no bearing on my ability to see it.
I always prefer owning things, or at least paying for what I get.
You wound me, sir.
