I purchased an add to cart...had someone accidentally destroy my macbook with 90% of my shoe setup on it, so I'm kinda effed this weekend lol. Doesn't look like we have come to an agreement on how much he owes me, so I don't see myself purchasing a new macbook before Saturday morning.

So I was chilling in the student union on campus around 10:45 like I do every Tuesday and Thursday after class. I BS around, grab some fruit and just chill until my class at 12:15....I also chill there because that's where campus wifi is on fleek. Usually a couple of my friends come and chill until their classes as well. So you know, I got my 2 windows up chilling on supremes website with my set up and backup plan ready....10:59 comes, shoes add to cart, get to checkout, site is lagging cuz 4,000 people are trying to checkout......as this is happening (has happened to me on foams and other items), one of my friends is careless and spills his entire soda and fries my $1700 mac instantly. I thought I was going to kill someone.

Exactly. So at this point in just gonna grab an entirely new macbook after just buying that one 3 weeks ago. Cuz to attempt to fix it I'd need I pay for a motherboard which is going to be $800. So I told him, you ruined a $1700 macbook, just give me $800 and I'll call it a day. He said he can give me $200 a month and that's not going to fly. Worst part is I've known him for 10 years and our families go way back and go to the same church, so I'm trying to avoid getting the lawyers involved. But his parents think that he's only responsible for 50%. So my parents laid into them and are giving them a little but of time. But it's starting to get ugly. I think we're being more than fair, we could be pricks and tell em that we need 1700 plus compensation from my mom driving to Philadelphia to dc to get a second opinion on the computer. But we'll see. I'm not crazy hurting for cash, but I'm also in college and I'm not in a position to say "hey man, you destroyed 2k worth of electronics; an apology is all I need" lmao.

Dont do the 200 a month bs, things get testy when you do that. If you don't hound him homie will probably stop paying after 2 months. Also if you just bought the laptop why would they think only half is suitable? That situation sounds bad man.

No way in hell we're doing the 200 a month. Like I said, were being nice about the $800 since it was an accident and I know he's broke. But this happened at a terrible time with preme forces and slam dunks lmao. It's all good tho. I'll either get $800 directly from him or 2k of the lawyers need to get involved. Best believe that lol. Anyways sorry for derailing the thread.

It'd be different if those kinda shoes were obtainable though. I mean you always have a shot, but the avg person has slim to no chance for shoes like that unless theyre running something.
Ive struck out on everything limited that I've wanted, that i would wear
but yes i get what youre saying and i agree. Where I live I never run into anyone wearing what i have (not that it matters to me) but there is only a select few of us here in this state that care about shoes like that

It's does
Crowd funding has been around for a bit it's been used by the average person and even spike lee used it a while back to fund a film he wanted to make

Go fund me terms are far looser so yea
Kickstarter was initially the same way until a guy figured out a technical loop hole and was able to raise money to if I recall make potato salad and wound up raising like 38K(yes I'm serious)
They then changed their terms lol
People can/will donate if they wish it's kinda like panhandling but not really lol
Most people do it for raising money for causes or charities but others have done it for various things
In fact he already has a $5 donation
Even if people donate $1 enough people do it then it adds up

Lol I don't know, I personally wouldn't want that type of money but you're right, money's money. At the end of the day if I needed 2k quick I'd take it

Yea I feel the same way as you
Personally having read his fund story I wouldn't donate especially with far more serious things on there to donate to but that's me
I mean the reason is because he buys sneakers with it 90% of the time
Not exactly starving or struggling problems lol
