you know what trope pisses me off the most? when the protag is pointing a gun at somebody and they’re like “you won’t do it. you’re too good” and the person holding the gun is like oh shit i am and they slowly lower the gun while the other person laughs. WHAT THE FUCK. if i were there, and somebody told me “you won’t do it” i would immediately shoot them dead without hesitating. who are you to tell me what i wont do. musty bitch
I completely forgot to post the comic here! Sorry guys!
This is the computer which I am planning to get my hands on in late June. Priced on average from 700 to 900 usd, the Dell Inspiron 13 7000 (2017 model) is a lightweight beast, coming in with lower model stats like 256 GB SSD, 8 GB memory, as well as a 3.6 GHz Intel i5 processor. A 13 inch screen weighing in at barely 3 pounds is the perfect protable laptop for my needs. Hit me up in the suggestions for comparisons, tech suggestions, and software review.
