      Tools should be used for sure.

      Still never a reason to carelessly step on cables, toss/shove the computer instead of set it down, etc.

      That’s stupid, all my tools are in great condition. Just because it’s useful doesn’t mean it needs to be dirty and damaged and shitty.

      Hey treat your stuff however you want. But generally tools are meant to wear out from their intended use. Ususlly, the better you treat your tools the more use you get out of them.

        Me, still using my unscathed 2011 MacBook Pro

        I’m astounded by how shittily people treat their stuff. My tools are also pristine. Just because something is mechanical doesn’t mean it has to be dirty and shitty.

      Any time I get a new toy, I do try to keep it a shiny as possible for as long as I can, but yeah eventually the battle scars come through and then it’s a different story.

          I have a belief some phones are designed to be used without a case. So I have done that.

          Phones are stronger than they used to be, and a phone no case is nice af.
