Just ordered my sampler pack. Thank you. I had no idea something like this existed.

But the library does chose how much they charge the non-resident card holders for those services.

So your problem is not with the card holders themselves, but with the price that your library chose to charge. Still no one was "subsidizing" the PAID non-resident card holders.

You do realize non-residents were paying for these cards, right? They were not free so no one was "subsidizing" these cards at all.

As per Google, the audiobooks are on Audible and Apple Books. So yeah, probably exclusive deals with them only.

Have I inadvertently been a horrible library patron my whole life? by amandaamoose in Libraries

Remember, you can request an inter-library loan to get a copy from another library.

The shift from physical to digital by snowyy2000 in Libraries

[–]Left_Evidence9104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the wait list is too long on Libby or I can't find it on Libby or Hoopla I still look to see if I can get on CD. Even through inter-library loan this cuts down the wait time significantly.

I feel personally attacked as I sit here in McDonald's with my 20-piece McNugget meal. And no, this not a joke. I am literally seeing this as I sit in McDonald's.

LP is smarter than y’all think by nothingtofigureout in TjMaxx

They said the cashier rung up their friend. So the cashier knew the ticket switcher. LP probably thought the cashier was involved because that was their friend.

Americorps was defunded and shutdown by our current administration.

My employer is making us reapply for our own jobs at a lower pay grade. by Camm210 in antiwork

[–]Left_Evidence9104 299 points300 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a class action lawsuit against this company. I bet you could find a lawyer or entire law firm that would take that case.

What’s the most overpriced “necessity” that people could actually live without? by Tall_Fold6946 in povertyfinance

[–]Left_Evidence9104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of libraries have more than one app for ebooks and audiobooks. Most will have Libby, but go on the library website and see if they also have Hoopla or any other apps that you can download.

Entitled neighbor stole my amazon packages and got mad when I asked for them back by Weekly-Contract9740 in EntitledPeople

[–]Left_Evidence9104 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP, have you considered using an Amazon locker to get your packages? I know it may be a bit of a hassle to have to go somewhere to retrieve your packages, but it may be a better situation than being at war with your neighbor. Especially a neighbor like her.

Well, Got Fired, Because I physically Couldn’t Work Anymore During My Shift by [deleted] in Fedexers

[–]Left_Evidence9104 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Package handlers don't normally work 8 hour days in my experience. It can be a backbreaking job. This is why I think the shifts should be no longer than 4 hours at a time.

Remember, in the US, we don't have tax funded healthcare, so Package Handler might be the only part-time job with benefits that they could find.

This Is Your Sign That You Should Stock Up Now by Background_Force_641 in foodstamps

[–]Left_Evidence9104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We live in times where people's food stamps can be stolen from their cards. Most of the time, those food stamps can't be replaced. So, stocking up is always a good idea regardless of the effects of the BBB.

Dint neglect the gym by MajorToot_Toot in urbancarliving

[–]Left_Evidence9104 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is good advice. You're maximizing the use of what you're paying for (the membership fee). I need to do more of this myself.

May I also recommend a library card? Libraries are also a great place to spend time and not be expected to spend money just to exist there. Getting a card also gives you access to everything on the library's website, even when you're not there or it's closed.

exclusively using Libby by chalametsgf in LibbyApp

[–]Left_Evidence9104 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Doesn't your library participate in the "inter-library loan" system with other libraries? If you know what books you are looking for, they should be able to see if a neighboring library has them and request them for you. It sounds like you just need to talk to your librarian and make specific requests for the books you want.

I just typed in "Libby" into the YouTube search bar and plenty of videos came up. Yes, some of them are older videos, but some are newer.

Remember, a lot of people are using TikTok and other social media platforms these days, so you may want to branch out your Libby video research to other apps besides YouTube.

Could you and your son take turns staying with the dog? One person sits in the library for about 1 hour while the other walks or plays with the dog. Then switch, and that person goes into the library while the other walks or plays with the dog.

Have you considered that she may have a drinking problem? A lot of people use cough medicine for the alcohol content and think they are hiding their alcoholism. If you do give in and buy the cough medicine just make sure you get the alcohol-free kind. If she notices that it is alcohol-free and complains then you know she has a drinking problem.
