Laptops are always so much more Fucked than phones in my experience. A laptop is like a beautiful horse that wants nothing more than to break all of its legs. A decently solid android phone will act normal

A laptop is a living creature. It has weight to it. A laptop breathes and produces body heat. And it wants to die badly. Mobile phones are not sentient like that & that's why they don't experience mental illness. A phone problem is like "out of storage :(" or "charging port broke". Laptops will cough weakly as they fade in and out of consciousness

You will hold a laptop in your arms and it's like "I can't feel my legs". And you tell it girl you never had any

family death cw

#I’m doing fine with it and i think my family is#doing better than they might be#because it was so quick.#sudden. which is shocking and upsetting but also quick and painless#or. if it was it was over quickly.#anyway. been on the phone with so many people for forever trying to figure out what actually happened#but now I finally have a mostly full picture#what a time.#I feel bad for my grandma though#like I moved out. now I took Keats#and now it’ll just be here alone in the house#and all the kids except my one brother are away at college now too#it’s rough dude#*her
