“I want to buy some Lucky Charms but I only want to pay for the marshmallows because I don’t eat the other bits.”
“I want to rent this apartment but I don’t use the oven so I dont want to pay for that portion.”
“I want a whopper from BK on a bun from Mickey D’s, And I only want to pay for one burger with that combination.”
“I want iOS on my new Galaxy.”
I’m sorry for mocking you but I find your stipulation for paying for journalistic content absurd. However, this is not the first time I’ve heard similar conditions requested for things that are not the speaker’s to place conditions on. I’m wondering where this line of thinking comes from. I seem to hear it from the younger generation (20s/early 30s). (I’m not tying to be purposefully ageist or overgeneralize.)
