am i a worthy kid

i uhh… i am a cms in olympic shooting and uhh… i get all a’s in my school, not even a single grade lower than B, for nine years already. i play guitar a bit and know a lot about pcs.

and yet i dont feel like im worthy to be proud of sometimes.

i’d tell my mom, but sometimes i feel like she’s lying and all that matters is my achievements, not what i am as a person

often my dreams and hobbies get mocked or used to “motivate” me. i want to be a psychiatrist. but now im not that sure.

first things first it’s dell latitude e6410 that i got from literal e waste with no keyboard, screws, hdd or even display, paired with other e6410 but without battery and motherboard

and at some point i needed a laptop asap because of the work stuff i had to do

so i created this abomination out of two free laptops and the only thing that i bought for it was ssd and some thermal paste

also duct tape.

it has no screws at all and i can strip it down to the motherboard and take out cpu in under 60 seconds, taking out the cd reader, ssd and allat, keyboard didn’t work well first time so i had to do something too horrible to describe here for it to work

and since it has no screws and default holder doesn’t fit well with ssds its holding on pure hope with my dreams and some duct tape. all this stickers are covering a very scratched and fucked up casing so don’t hate me too much, just believe me, this looks better than what’s underneath them and it’s not even grunge style ugly underneath.

but it has i7 620m, 8 gigs of ddr3 and win10 ltsc cuz linux doesn’t pair well with lid closing

despite its being 17 years old and dead 4 times it works surprisingly well for simple gaming and work, ngl i used it to make some psx styled renders in blender and it handled it pretty well, alongside with simple internet surfing, id say it’s pretty good and better than most modern budget chromebooks, better than anything on pentium or celeron i guess considering that i got it for free and all i spent on it is barely 5 dollars for thermal paste

i have a visual snow and couldn’t unsee the similarities between static in photos and other malfunctions with upscaling algorithms that look similar to the visual snow

well hear me out

if you look at the images taken in the night, some of the noise is camera algorithms trying to recreate pieces of information they didn’t get and get that static

and our eyes aren’t crystal clear, our vision has a bling spot, many capillary and overall it’s flipped upside down. add up some people’s vision problems

what if visual snow is malfunction in the part of the brain that upscales that lost information into the whole picture, and it’s malfunction causes the visual snow?

i am no professional but i can’t help but see the parallels
