and it's doing a damn fine job.

This was a (unfortunately) true story.
And now whenever I go to relatives houses she says I broke her computer and then none of my relatives will let me on except for my uncle who works for goddamn microsoft and he tries to tell my mom all I did was change the background, but all she did was say "NO I KNOW MORE ABOUT COMPUTERS THAN YOU" and yet my uncle has a 4 year degree with something to do about computers.

And what is my mom's degree?
2 year recreational arts degree. (so she could be a forest ranger. she is now a preschool person who watches the kids during recess, good money you put into your college education you dumb bitch.)

What? I feel like I'm the only one who has a mom who is not completely handicapped when it comes to computers.

Nope.
Both my parents have had almost all the jobs they've ever had been in something related to computers.


I really could have phrased that more fluently.

I'm the tech guy in the family.
My mother comes to me for help. Dad knows nothing as he used his first computer a few months ago but won't come to me as he's too proud. He will never admit he's wrong about anything.

its essentially the same as clearing your browser history, except it never exists.
Don't you think that's going to raise the same eyebrow that deleting the history will?
As for your and research, its okay to say you just aren't interested.
you don't have to say you're too young

If you can trick her into pressing Alt+F4 you should have the right to run any programs you want, and decide what SHE can do on it.

@OP
your mother is loving handicapped.



none of those programs contain malware/spam/viruses.
tell her to get off her loving meds and stop being a painful bitch-ass stick in the mud.

free spirited willful soul my ass.
if you were in the slightest free spirited you would let your kid play loving computer games with friends.
