        I remember the first time I ever saw that video was when I tried playing Enter the Gungeon. I didn’t even pirate it. I just screwed up when I was installing some mods lol

      Yup. Adobe may not be the ones causing the housing crisis, but all this nickel and diming from other sources is part of the problem too.

      Hey Adobe, if you want people to stop pirating your shit go back to a pay-once model or lower your subscription costs. Then maybe use some of that money you’ve got to help us out over here so we can afford to pay you.

    They wanted to DNA test my dog and keep his biometric data on file as part of the terms of the last lease I was looking at.

    I uhh, didn’t fucking sign. The neofeudalist movement is for real.

      This so they can fine you when you leave your dog’s shit on the ground for other people to step in. I’m here for it. I lived in a place that did not enforce picking up after your animals and it was absolutely disgusting.

        They won’t send don’t do that at all anyway, but hey at least the professional landlord class gets to inflict upon you one more indignity for some imagined benefit.

        The park adjacent to those buildings has so much dog turd in it you’d think they were purposely producing low quality fertilizer over there.

      Yeah, they do that these days to identify who lets their dogs poop around the property and don’t pick it up.

        Or…They threaten to do this and just keep your $600

        It’s really the threat that motivates people, and it’s the free $600 non-refundable deposit that motivates the landlords.

      The only problem with GIMP is that is comes with every sensible keyboard shortcut mapped to some random function you use once in a lifetime.

        I justify the use of Adobe for professional use cases, like “I have to print a label with a specific set of colors and GIMP has bad CYMK support”.
        If you have to put a signature where there isn’t one or stuff like that, GIMP is more than good for the job and in the meanwhile you’re helping a community project to grow.

    You don’t even need photoshop. Just use the inspect function in your browser and edit the values directly in the HTML. Free and much easier to not fuck up the formatting.

    They don’t check your credit? They checked my credit the last time I rented.

    Also you don’t need to photoshop when it’s easier to edit the html.

        Yes, but also you don’t get good credit by entering into contracts you can’t afford. What I can and can’t afford are my decision to make.

        Just like you can have good credit and low income, you can have high income and be shit with money. It really doesn’t prove anything by showing a pay stub.

        Experian offers a service called “theworknumber” that will sell you income data to anyone for $60.

        You cant opt out because fuck american laws, but you can demand they “freeze” it like credit, so any inquiry is just rejected.

          That may solve who’s texting me if I’d like to sell a property. They keep asking me about properties i haven’t owned for years but I use to live at.

            At least you get texted about properties you once owned. I get texted about some dude’s properties across the country even though this hasn’t been his number for a good decade now

              Haha it’s just weird to get a txt asking if I want to sell x property I haven’t owned for twenty years.

              It has to be a credit report thing as my gf gets txt about the properties and she has never been on the loans or titles. The properties are always in my name.

      I “forged” documents with gimp once — needed to print out and sign something for a wire transfer when I was abroad. I pasted in my signature and sent it back, but they said it needed to be print out, scanned, and sent back. So I opened it in gimp, added noise and rotated it by a degree or so to look like it was scanned — and they accepted it, no questions asked. So…I forged my own documents.

      Banking in the US is sometimes a bit humorous. (Meanwhile, in the country I was staying, at the end of the night someone picked up the tab, wrote down their bank account number, and said “transfer me $XYZ thanks” — was pretty great.)

    Step 1: File articles of incorporation for an LLC. Step 2: Open bank account for your new business. Step 3: Write checks to yourself from said business. Step 4: Tell future landlord that you’re “self employed.” Step 5: File dissolution of LLC -or- make sure to pay any annual franchise taxes, depending on your state, if you decide to keep it active.
