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 mean, these places are just grocery stores at this point. That's all Target is for me.
If I bought games, I would just buy them digitally or order a physical copy if for whatever reason that's what I want.
Books? Free downloads at anna's archive.
Movies? Free streaming sites and 1337.
Olive oil...? Decent? Isn't it all kind of the same thing? Lol. But yeah, that's just a grocery item you can get anywhere else.
They are competing with Walmart and Kroger, as a grocery store. That said, it's not much of a competition because you can buy the same damn groceries at Walmart for cheaper than Target, always.
Not sure what you like consuming, but no, olive oil is not all the same. I've produced it several times.
Not all olive oil is the same. That's true for a lot of groceries.
Also some people enjoy owning movies they like or buying them to support them.
With your "order everything mindset" why but just order groceries too instead of going there?
Just feels like you took your life and wonder why everyone doesn't live that way lol
Hey man, you don't have to get defensive because someone pointed out a better, cheaper way of doing things. Just feels like you're insecure because you can't tolerate someone promoting how to get things for free.
We own what we torrent more than what we buy, because buying media usually involves some form of DRM.
Weird thing to point out, but I never mentioned going there in person. I actually do order my groceries. This makes me further believe that you are insecure and grasping at straws because I dared to mention how I get better deals than you.
You can start using your brain before your wallet at any time! But doing so would mean accepting that you've been getting taken advantage of up to that point, which I doubt you're prepared to do.
The thing is it's not better, better is subjective. For a person that likes to collect media is pirating movies better? The ego on display here is crazy.
I seemed to have triggered you because you think the way you do things is the best. It's not, sorry to break it to ya.
I get that dollars might be how you measure the value of every little thing, but to some people cost isn't the only factor. Some people are willing to spend $10 to own a movie they like. But you would call them dumb, and if they explained why you'd call them insecure. Your stance is transparent.
And your assuming that matters to everyone. It doesn't. Again you're assuming what people should value like it's some fact.
Yeah the rest of your comments keep going into personal attacks. Lots of name calling and assumptions, seems to be a pattern.
And you can start using yours any time. It's easy. Just imagine people who think differently than you and what they might want or value. It's called empathy.
Wow, so defensive. Either I agree with you or I'm being taken advantage of huh? Sounds like your ego is 90% of your personality.
You're way is not better. You just have too much who and pride to accept that others might value different things.
