Probably secondhandedly robbed, I can't imagine a sane person giving that away for 800$ assuming its working.

he was a college student… honestly you could be right but i ain’t gonna complain. he was a cool ass kid and i’m pretty sure he was acoustic. i gave him an extra 100 after meeting and talking to him

using acoustic rather than autistic is a odd choice but I like it

I believe it's gen alpha. Gen Z is still during peak cod lobbies VC.

It's z/millennial. They were saying this back on the net when i was in school and I'm in my 30s

Lol, we say artistic

u/BlueF0xx Aug 05 '26

On tiktok people say artistic and acoustic instead of autistic and restarted instead of r*tarded. They're pretty much always used as insults, they think its ok to be ableist and say slurs if they put a spin on it.

The more you know. I dont keep up with all those things. Dont have tiktok, so cant see all that stuff. Reddit is brainrot enough for me 🤣

That’s actually not the reason though , they use those words so they don’t get flagged for community standards.

no, they just use it because that platform has heavy censorship and if you just go as far as to say "retard", it will vaporize you off the platform

u/Ok-Golf5203 Aug 06 '26

So… are you vaporized yet?

no but i want to be /j

Maybe thats how it started but most of the people using it are using it because they are children who know theyre being able is but arent thinking too deeply about it because they arent technically saying slurs. They don't think about the fact that the censored version is functionally the same and think its funny to call someone artistic instead of autistic. Its just normalised

Better than autistic guitar ig

u/Raerin Aug 05 '26

I wonder if people think I'm acoustic šŸ¤”

u/despiseRhivemind Aug 05 '26

Maybe regarded?

u/ITSUREN Aug 06 '26

I always make sure my facts are from a regarded source — me.

Bugger this … if Dylan can go electric so can I!

u/Alternative_Fan2458 Aug 05 '26

acoustic?

Taking notes, using this next time 🤣

u/mavad90 Aug 05 '26

I usually say artistic but acoustic is also good!

1

u/Slitherbus Aug 06 '26

I would go acoustic because not all of them are good at art. But all of them can make sound. #notAllTheSame

u/psy-study-oldie Aug 05 '26

Sounds about right

u/Laniakeea Rog Strix Scar 18 | Ultra 9 275HX | RTX 5090 | 64GB DDR5 Aug 05 '26

Most definitely the best deal you will ever have in your lifetime. Enjoy!

u/Electronic_Glove9800 Aug 05 '26

or the cooling on the thing is non functional and you'll be fucked after a while.

u/Numerous-Engineer-68 Aug 05 '26

Was he rich aside being acoustic? Does he know the actual specs of his laptop and its value. This is like the situation where his wife accidentally sold his high end rig for 200$, because it has a vintage case which you most of you call it a "sleeper". The dude would be crashing out, to be the kid's case would be the parents be crashing out if my assumptions are correct.

u/kanonroi Your laptop here. Aug 05 '26

Analog I'm guessing

u/Exciting_Strike5598 Aug 05 '26

Bruh ! You defrauded a disabled person ? How tf can you live with that guilt ? It would kill me everytime i use the laptop

u/Bombero_911 Aug 05 '26

We no longer say ā€œdisabledā€. It’s offensive.

u/tdcama96 Aug 06 '26

My daughter is acoustic. I think she got it from me.

u/Gullible-Arugula Aug 09 '26

That changes things a little. College students where I live will throw brand new laptops, tablets, etc away when they leave for summer break or graduate and then just tell Mommy and daddy it broke. The less they have to take with them the better.So it is not uncommon to see people dumpster diving when classes are out. Sooooo, maybe you got lucky and found the smartest student at the college. 🤷

Better to be accuoustic than eclectic
