+
+this is a pretty common occurance for me. i like fuarking around with my laptop, i like trying to remove a bunch of stuff from it and get it to still work. i like funky workflows.
+
+*fizzityucking* sue me.
+
+in a world of beaten up twenty-fourteen macbooks sporting the same selection of stickers, theres something comfy about having a shitty laptop.
+
+when everyone has the same operating system, the same set of programs, the same everything, theres something comfy about being different.
+
+my name is shaun, and i have a shitty samsung series nine.
+
+the hardware support is shit.
+
+the case is almost coming apart because ive lost a bunch of screws.
+
+it overheats like a fothermucker.
+
+it sports ***two***, count 'em ***two*** "Lainpad" stickers, black electrical tape over all the branding, and one of those rectangular OS stickers that says "vim".
+
+software wise, not a lot works.
+
+it runs NixOS and it sorta works for a couple of things. anything else i make do.
+
+it is a piece of shit, but i love it. it has character, it has its flaws.
+
+its a person in a world of laptops resembling carbon copy celebrities.
+
+it is a flawed individual who is aware of its shortcomings, in a world of laptops that like to think they're the hero of their own story.
+
+it is mine, and i love it.
+
+im sorry for the stuff ive put it through, but its become a stronger person for it.
+
+thank you shitty laptop.
