What's the purpose of having a laptop? Because it's NOT for transportation!
16 replies, posted
Got a laptop for Christmas this year, but my stepfather keeps telling me that it's for "in the house" use only and that it's not to leave the building until I turn 18 next year.
"Doesn't that defeat the purpose of buying me a laptop? It's awesome and everything, but it's just a question."
"Nope. People did not invent laptops for that purpose, so you will not be using it for that purpose."
So Facepunch, what IS the purpose of having a laptop?
So I can watch YouTube and poop at the same time.

No internet unless it's wired.
I asked about that as well as a joke and he told me that I was "pathetic". :frown:

I, for one, welcome our new stepfather overlords.
Seriously though, he is a jerk.

I told my mom about it, and she's saying that I should be thankful that I have a laptop and think nothing of it or else it's being "selfish", which in a way is true; the laptop is very good.
It still doesn't make sense, though.

He said that I don't need to have a screen in my face on the go.
Again comes the title question here.

So you can take it with you and have your documents/work/porn with you.

That's what I thought.
I understand what you're saying and I'd agree it seems a bit odd, although seeing as they bought it for you you can't really complain. After all, a laptop for indoor use only is better than no laptop at all.
Seems a bit retarded though, I have to be honest.

Yeah your stepdad is basically a dick.

That's what I'm saying. At least I have a computer, but I have no internet as he won't let me use it and of course, no taking it anywhere.
The laptop is to be used as a sword
I just called him to ask about it.
Excluding the screaming at me for being "stubborn" he also adds that he wants Steam taken off my computer as it is a "virus"
What the hell?
Lan Parties for me, but since you can't take it out... Uhmm. Nothing. Your stepdad is dumb as shit.

Dude, set up a secured account and tell him not to tell you what to do with your laptop.

How old are you and when can you leave? Your step dad sounds like a dildo. You can tell him I said that.

I'm 16, nearly 17, like, weeks away.
He just doesn't like me very much for something I said when I was about 9. I told him that he wasn't my dad and he's treated me like shit ever since.

You sound supportive. I might add you on Steam while I've got it.
