Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

i'm all for not shaming people and everything, but we also do need to be conscious about what we're buying and consuming.

You probably don't need a macbook, and if you do need a laptop, there are almost certainly better options that are cheaper, and more repairable. Please don't buy a macbook, they aren't good products. (though now with M series macs they actually do work, kind of)

consumerism is not good, we shouldn't be encouraging it. We should be encouraging conscious spending.

They’re posting this on a platform where people like me read it. People who eat $1.50/loaf, bread sandwiches, to save money. This is just after clearing the threshold to qualify for food stamps this month.
