We've gotten into the habit of looking into expensive stuff we kind of want but really can't afford lately it seems

right now it's "our laptop is like 30% superglue right now and gets pretty hot, we should look into replacing it"

I wonder if this is a deal-with-stress mechanism and if it is I don't like it, we don't have money to spend and it makes us likely to spend it on stuff we don't need

@Motodrachen That is, why do you say it's probably a good idea to trade for someone's old laptop, I definitely understand why browsing ebay and craigslist is a bad thing to do

@Motodrachen Will I? Why's that, have people been upgrading rapidly?

@Motodrachen Aha. I don't want to feed that habit though! Our current laptop still works and everything, it's just got a lot of superglue
