On their website it's on sale for $25.99, (Orig. $34.99) but I was just wondering if theres anywhere I could get it for a little bit cheaper without it being a knockoff or a scan website or whatever. (You know what I mean)
First I apologize in advanced. What I write further here may paint me as an asshole. if so, it cannot be helped. Hopefully though it can be seen I'm expressing a bit of opinion and commentary. This isn't a personal attack. No, I'm reading two ideas here which kind of cause me pause.
The first idea is "get it cheaper, or free". Don't misread me, I too like getting a good value and at an affordable price. I'm all for that up to a point. That point comes in the application of two other ideas commonly found on the Internet & Web.
TNSTAAFL (There's No Such Thing As A Free Lunch) is one of those ideas, it ought to be self evidently, explanatory. In case it's not I'll further clarify it with the axiom "If it seems too good to be true, it's likely not true."
Another idea found online is an idea social media has capitalized on and drastically emphasized. All those people using free services, ... paid for by advertisers. What is the product of social media? All those users. They can sell a captive market to advertisers and rake in big bucks doing it.
The second idea which bugs me is a presumption that we'll just read your mind, automatically correct the erroneous scan for the word scam. Why does that bother me a bit? Well, you presume I'm of the hive mind mentality, following a herd, in a group think. Maybe I'm not, alright? Maybe I'm over here paid per word, paid by thought and i keep getting sidetracked by people thinking I'll just 'know what they mean".
Sure, I do know what you mean. Sure, I can read your mind. No, I'm not part of the hive or borg, at least not completely yet. I still need to upgrade my wetware and get a data jack. Not sure I'm too keen to go that path just yet. What happens when i become Prometheus? Do I get put down for being so great? Will I become the singularity? Do electric sheep dream? My point being it's not nice to presume these notions. Maybe I'm busy with the safety net catchng someone jumping from floor ninety two and won't catch you even if I run.
So no, I'm not trying to be an asshole here. You would know if I were trying, I would make it painfully obvious. Of course, by that point, I may delve into being a prick. I'm just being a little frustrated over the seeming decline of society. Sorry for being human.
