What goes on?

Hi! My name is Jamie and I'm a Tumblr addict. If you're offended easily this blog is not for you. I'm a avid reader. My library has everything from Harry Potter and The Mortal Instruments series to Shakespeare and Autobiographies. I love watching tv. Some of my favorite shows are Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, Game of Thrones, Greys Anatomy, Weeds, Dexter, Awkward., and too many reality shows to list. Thanks to everyone that follows me! =)     

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

Reblog if you:

  • Have an iPhone and are in need of repairs
  • Have a friend with that problem
  • Hate Apple and are more than happy to spite them in some way

No one will know which is it

Reblogging this from my iPhone, ironically.

Reblogging from my 2011 macbook pro that has threatened to die for years.

Just so you know he’s still at it on Youtube, even with Apple’s new restrictions and making products that self destruct if you try to fix them, and occasionally posting videos of his cats.

Ugh! Anfisa is so childish! I want to punch her in the vagina - several times! She'd better be nicer to Jorge because she's not that pretty and once you factor in her "personality" it makes her even less attractive. I want to strangle Jorge. Why put up with all this stuff she does? Does he think he can't another woman?

lower-income people tend to be “hoarders” and richer people are able to do more “minimalist” living spaces. if u don’t have much, you will hold onto any little thing that comes across your way. you got a new tv, but you still keep the old tv because you know things can break. you keep extra boxes of macaroni and cheese lying around because there will be a week when you don’t have money for groceries. you hold onto your stacks of books and clothes for dear life. those are your assets. physical evidence of where your money’s gone. it’s hard to get rid of it. the bare wall is terrifying when you don’t have much.

Fuck. This makes so much sense and explains so much about me. I must have inherited this from my mum.

so I’d normally put this in the tags but it’s kind of a lot so just reblog this from OP to skip my commentary. But I dogsit for a family who is clearly LOADED. Their house is immaculate. High, vaulted ceilings, wood flooring, two chandeliers in one room. These things are fancy, right ?? I really don’t know, anything that isn’t tile or 30 year old carpet seems fancy to me. It also so… bare. Everything is organized perfectly, they have no excess. Their decor is extravagant and yet minimal - it is carefully and precisely executed. Nothing that doesn’t match the aesthetic sits in their living room. I tried to replicate some of it, but it’s just not possible. I have every book I’ve ever owned, my mom keeps papers upon papers, VHSs in a dresser, how do you just get rid of these things when you know you may not have the opportunity to buy them again? How must it feel to live in such orderly quarters where everything is replaceable?

This really locked into my brain when I was reading one of the declutter your space things and it suggested getting rid of duplicate highlighters and pens. /Pens/. It suggested that you needed one or two working pens, so if you had extra you should get rid of them. That was when I realized minimalist living was /innately/ tied to having spare money, because the idea was, of course you just went out and bought the single replacement thing whenever the first thing broke. You obv. Had the time and money to only ever hold what you needed that moment, because you could always buy more later.

God damn do I feel some things about this

Not only that but if you throw out something that cost $20, you’re throwing out that $20. Even if you no longer like or need or want the item any more, it’s hard psychologically for a poor person to throw that money away.
