If you're extremely wealthy you can buy a library. You could pay women to perform naked in front of you, I hear they got pretty freaky in the 60s.




There is a lot more shit I would prefer doing now than in the 60's, money isn't as important to me as a lot of other people here.  I'm happy with my life the way it is.

Now.  Better tax picture for the wealthy now as opposed to the 1960's.

IMO the entire Internet doesn't even come close to a good library.


Also, in my opinion fake boobs have severely damaged the porn watching scene. I love that old shit where women were women not gross plastic dolls.

The problem is the validity of the information on the internet. Not saying that all information in a library is to be taken as 100% true, but at least there is a vetting process. So while you may get MORE information from the internet, the quality of that information is nowhere near the standards of a good library.

Can you please explain to me the vetting process that is in place for the library.

Umm, there are these people called librarians. Some are even PhD's.

You think librarians read every book in the library?  You think we knew more in the 60's than we do now?  I think wikipedia is about as accurate as the encyclopedia if memory serves.  Then again, I read that on the internet.

Go ask a librarian what they think... Or anyone that has to use "credible" sources on a regular basis.

I think a librarians subjective opinion is about as valid as asking someone on reddit.  The internet is full of bullshit sources just as its filled with legitimate, verifiable sources.  Also, the library's collection of cat pictures is severely lacking.

A library is just a book depository.

No it does not. Anybody who says this has never had to write a dissertation or scholarly article or case study. You can get VAGUE or BASIC information about any subject on the internet, but the more intricate and advanced level of information you are looking for (like PhD level of expertise), the less and less you will find it on the internet. Frankly, you will probably not pass if you attempt to write a dissertation using only sources you found on the internet.

There are some things that are always better to look for at your library.

No.  Not really.  All major medical/scientific journals are online nowadays.

No. They are not. Medical, scientific, engineering, yes, they can be found online. But there is a whole scope of studies OUTSIDE of medical/science journals that are not available online, such as political science, economics, gender studies, etc.

I know this because I tried to save a trip to the library all throughout my university years by simply typing in the article I was searching for on the search engine. Over 90% of the time my search results came up empty. I always had to go to the library any time I wanted to get REAL information.

Also, it should be known, that for most of those medical/science journals, you need to register a username and password and establish affiliation to a company or accredited schooling to read the content of many of those.

There is tons of information you won't find on the internet or the library, that doesn't mean that there is more information in a library than the internet.  Almost every person with a computer has some of their writings on the internet.  Who the fuck cares about a dissertation, like that relates to all of what I said.

Like I said, the internet is good for BASIC information. The library is good for advanced or expert levels of information and education.

I know migrant laborers that get lots of pussy and they make minimum wage.  Being rich doesn't guarantee you will get laid all the time.
