> there are people all over this board who buy their kids macbooks for christmas

Kids? I bought a MacBook Air for an internet friend of around 2 months because I was so offended by the fact that they didn't own a good computer.

My performance standards are higher for myself of course, but the goal was just to get them any form of macOS.

(They did in fact end up liking it a lot better than Windows)




Hey, it’s me - your new friend. I too am without a MacBook. Woe.


Hehe. Let me know if you have lived a whole life of only emotional neglect and abuse by narcissistic parents and if you share my exact autistic neurotype and maybe then we'll talk :)


Damn, I was only abused by my sister and had a traumatic brain injury as a teenager. I guess that just gets me a...HP laptop? No thanks!
