Um hello there guys! My name’s Marilyn, but please refer to me by my internet alias, Murr.

-snip- (has nothing to do with anything)

Recently I’ve been having a shit ton of troubles with this year old laptop I have and I’m really anxious about a lot of things, and laptop crashes / loosing my only way to talk to my online friends who support me is a really big one, along with weird graphical glitches that happen and sometimes my laptop will not really start up properly at all.

-snip- (just get to the point)

The thing is that my family is pretty financially unwell, living off of food stamps, having to ask our family for grocery money at times, and the likes, and I can’t really use my tablet without making my whole laptop crash now, so I can’t do comissions sadly, so I’m going in blindly, asking you guys help me raise at least 400 USD for a new laptop or at least some to get a better one that [some money for a computer better than] the one I’m using currently.

My paypal is maneofi@hotmail.com, so please direct all donations to there!

How to ask people for money.

In a very short time, you can nab yourself

a laptop you can draw on. after you get your financial situation sorted, then go buy a gaming computer. you’re 18 now, you’re not a kid anymore.

Some people are in really bad situations and those laptops aren’t really reliable for commissions

Dell is shit too, they cant run anything but MSPAINT from my experience with them (Sai just crashes a buttload and don’t even get me started on PHOTOSHOP)

also

“you’re 18 now, you’re not a kid anymore.”

amaze, you’re being a bit immature yourself there bud :^}

you said yourself that some people are in bad situations, by which i take it to mean that they have no money.

here's the thing: i know how computers work. take a look here:

The 100$ budget laptop meets these specs. photoshop 7 is old, but it works. sai also works on a toaster like this, my girlfriend draws all the time on her toaster computer all day.

but hey if you want the newest photoshop,

the $250 dell will do just fine. 

if you can't run these programs and your computer meets the requirements, you need to get your stuff repaired.

"Dell is shit too"

regardless of your opinion on the manufacturer, they make product that suits the needs of a person who does not currently have a fully-functioning computer

Finally, the reason I said “you’re 18 now, you’re not a kid anymore.” is because an adult functioning in the real world is aware of the fact that things aren't just handed to you. you don't have to like me, but your little jab at me looks like grasping at straws.

learn how the world works. until you do, then don't call other people immature.

(why are so many people giving me shit for this? sorry for not falling into the hivemind of "i refuse to teach this person how to fish, i will give them fish because they're trans/autistic/whatever! :D")

and please don't try to say i am ableist/sexist/transphobic/ and so on.
