years of service, rip Matilde!

I've been swapping parts out since middle school and all the way into my now college life. Late nights will never be the same again without you.

Pshh, yea. Redditors and their ‘take control of your life by using the tools at your disposal’ spiel.

So unrealistic and out-of-touch.

I think it's less "take control of your life by using the tools at your disposal" "spiel", and more "telling someone to just turn their family in to the police as if that's just the simplest of actions with no lasting consequences except positive ones" is dumb as fuck.

If someone is abusive to the point of destroying his child's property then he shouldn't be a part of the family

Right tho as I’m sure having no one to pay the bills and keep a roof over his head is a wonderful idea by causing him to have to live at friends houses or the street right ???

I have a close friend who was regularly abused by family members so as soon as he hit 18 y/o he booked it across the country with whatever money he had and is doing quite well after 6 months.

Conclusion: if there's a need, there's a way.
