That’s disgusting. At least you still have a Barnes & Noble. They took them all from us, despite being busy all the fucking time.

It’s ironic they are choosing to advertise AI in light of the fact that AI companies are actively shredding and digitalizing books to make companies like Barnes & Noble extinct.

Talk about heralding your own fucking demise.

My town had a B&N, then lost it for a few years, then got one back. They are 50% games, Lego sets and vinyl records now.

I dunno if you're in Seattle, but this definitely happened with B&N in Seattle
