Hi kak. I really wanna know your opinion about this one. In this economy, where the price of books is same as daily needs, is it permissible to read illegal books like e-books that have been published on several websites? Because for a month I've been reading books from gdrive that shared by people on X (I really apologize for this) and ipusnas for sure. Thank you!
Hello. This might be controversial, but my take on this is that I will only read illegal epub/ebook from international authors only, and will not pirate Indonesian authors books. I know the access to books right now is insane—300k for international book?? That’s crazy. You can use 300k for a whole week meals or even more. If you want to feel less guilty, then maybe you can download ebooks that are now in public domain. Check goodreads “public domain books” to see which books that are listed as public domain and are free to read.
For Indonesian books, yes I think it’s recommended to use ipusnas. Let’s support local authors yaaa by only buying their physical books.

By I mean on losing basic decency is people would cancel plans last minute because of non-emergency reasons, not showing up to their loved ones, or not even apology when they’re in the wrong. I heard someone said, "well, I don’t care. I don’t have to protect other women feelings." It’s also been topic in non-Indonesian community how the current generation behaves but it seems haven’t reached the local audiences yet.
Hi, sorry for the late reply! Just checking my Alterspring again. I think.. this has something to do with Pandemic and the rising of individualism in internet era. Everyone is struggling and they have no choice other than to save themselves — and perhaps, while doing that, forgot to consider other people. Again, I’m not generalising everyone to have this tendency, but I can see a lot of people do this. And I’m assuming COVID becomes the catalyst of this madness; COVID that happened during their prime / formative years. Well, feel free to share your thoughts yaa!

Quick question. Do you think Gen Z has lost basic decency to another human being? If their defense is "we are trying to survive here and we don’t have a time to think what’s good what’s bad" is it still tolerable?
Wow, what a discussion. I think it's not fair to generalize a whole generation that they lost basic decency to another human being. Any person who might be struggle with their own crisis, or are in a survival mode maybe could lose it in order to survive and make it. And they can come from any generation. Maybe, you want to specify your observation; what do you mean by losing basic decency? Examples could help with the discussion.

Randomly curious about what do you value the most in friendship? :3
Hi, Chio! Thanks for the question. What I value in my friendship are trust and honesty. We don’t have to talk everyday, but once we can spend a quality time together, we can talk about anything. We can talk about something silly or important — can be both about our personal issues or world issues. However, one thing for sure is that I’ll keep my friend’s secrets. So I hope they’ll keep mine too. Once I witness that my friends leak / spread something about me to others or trash talk me behind my back, I’m sorry I’ll take it as a betrayal.

kak, di era digital sekarang kan sering konten yang suruh cut off teman-teman yang gak ada mutual effort tapi kalau posisinya lagi kesepian banget dan butuh teman untuk sekedar makan, gapapa gak tetap ajak walau selalu reach out sendirian?
Hi! Of course gak apa-apa, seriously, semakin dewasa sebetulnya semakin sadar bahwa orang tuh berbeda-beda. Kadang, mereka gak ada kapasitas aja untuk apa-apa duluan ngajak atau gak terbiasa apa apa harus cerita, atau malah gak enakan. Kalau kita kepikiran dan punya kapasitasnya, gak apa apa dong ajak duluan! Yang mungkin bisa direfleksikan tuh: apakah dengan berteman sama orang itu buat kamu jadi gak suka diri sendiri? Atau the feeling doesn't feel right dan gak nyaman karena beda cara pandang, misalnya, atau temenmu toxic, mungkin bisa di-consider untuk cut off. Tapi kalau masalahnya adalah kamu duluan yang selalu ajak, coba dipikir-pikir dulu, mungkin bisa dikomunikasikan? It happened once in my friendship, and after I talked it out, turned out my best friend thought that I was that busy sampai gak tega buat reach out duluan. Jadi mungkin dari temanmu ada perspektifnya sendiri, so ngobrol sounds good!
