Sister: “Can you loan me some money and take me to the bookstore?”
Me: “Why?”
Sister: “So I can get a book.”
Me: “Why not check it out from the library?”
Sister: “I want to keep the book.”
Me: “Why not check it out from the library, and then never return it?”

There’s nothing wrong with buying something if you feel it is a good value, especially if you plan to keep it in the long term.
Much better than stealing from our public services.

If you intended it as a joke, can you please add a /s or something to indicate it is a joke, when it’s not obvious? It does not read as a joke to me, but as a serious comment. It can be difficult to understand the author’s intended tone by just reading text.
Thank you!

We shouldn’t have to add /s on a joke. provided it is well crafted and actually funny. But that comment is neither of those things. Even adding /s doesn’t help it.
