oh it's super good; sort of like a phone but much bigger, which means it covers up more stuff that's happening around you and it's easier to read text while you're crying for no reason you can readily understand. plus no one can call you on it, which is great because it minimizes the amount of time you're forced to endure the sinews of confusion and desperation threading through the voices of your friends and loved ones as they desperately try to maintain composure. it comes in handy in other ways too, like when you're sitting on a bench waiting for a bus and you see a homeless man across the street, pissing against a cemetery wall and then he just sort slumps down into the piss and goes to sleep or has died or whatever; just get out the pad and play Angry Birds: Transformers. & it comes with a little piano program that you can play the same minor key on, over and over, while you stare out the window & your dinner goes cold.

how much merch is involved, because lots of meaningless signifiers of a Utopian prosperity eternally just beyond mankind's grasp are important to me.

Whenever I email my mom she replies with an unprovoked 2,000+ word defense of all of her life choices. Lady's got more problems than the rocky release of iOS 8.0, which is the version of iOS my iPad came with.

your ipad is from 2014 or 2015, right? I mean it has to be from the 21st century right?

you need hollow consumer goods from the 20th century man, that's your problem. get a bunch of pagers, maybe a handspring or something. an ipad could never fill that role for you, it just doesnt make any sense
