It will be shoved into a drawer in 1-2 weeks after she realizes I can't easily pirate more games for it or pirating games for it isn't simple, free, and instantaneous. Also refuses to read or learn anything in video games and thus keeps getting "bored" of them because they require literally any effort.

CW: a bunch of bad, bad stuff

Her abused-by-abandonment dog just died 2 days ago. Was yelping in pain the last few days and I was like "something needs to be done here" before this happened. I'm so glad it seemed to have died in its sleep in its bed. But before -- the last week or so -- she just took her hearing aids out so we have to hear it suffer and she pretends, or is so vacuous that really, nothing is wrong to her.

My father and I had to go bury it while she huffs and puffs all day as a way to try to manipulate us into caring about her. Honestly surprised she didn't call into work so she could be the ultimate hypocrite because she once told someone there (she handles scheduling there somewhat) that they should still come into work after their friend committed suicide.

Where are the "Life is great" freaks? Come on out and reveal yourselves. I will destroy you. I'm forced to live in this flesh prison so you dipshits can frolic in Omelas.
