        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.

    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.

    Our mortgage is $2600 month. My wife has a much better paying job than me. I make $2200 a month after taxes/deductions. She is currently going through cancer treatments and although everything is looking positive it really got me thinking about what the hell does life look like for my family if something happens to my wife?

    I’ve had the same bus driving job for 23 years. I’m undereducated. A 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment is $1600 month here. I don’t know how I’d ever be able to take care of myself and two kids.

    They want us to have 80k+ in school debt so you can be allowed to have mortgage debt or rent and own nothing. I don’t know where I’m going with this but I’m just bummed out about life right now.

      That’s what life insurance polices are for. Will be pretty hard to get one with her cancer diagnosis though.

      I’m in exactly the same boat as you. Undereducated, lower paying job than my wife, mortgage, etc. I’ve frequently had panicked thoughts about what I would do if she died. And we have a kid, which makes it even worse.

        Consider term life insurance? (Not whole life which is a ripoff.) It’s usually pretty cheap for a 20 year policy that’ll give you a few hundred grand if the worst happens. Like literally $20-$50/month. I’m not a salesman, don’t work in insurance, just a suggestion.

            Yeah, if you’re in your 20s and reading this, and your healthy, get term life insurance now. Get it while it’s go out to dinner cheap. I’m 43 on medication due to congenital issues and mine is $350 PER MONTH!

        Part of the reason my partner and I don’t want kids. It’s almost impossible to raise them alone and she has a preexisting condition that she wouldn’t want to pass on to them. If she passes away I could always just go live in my car by the beach and be fine. Wouldn’t be able to do that very well with a kid.

    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.

    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.

    I have an idea, let’s print more money and increase government spending. Surely that will decrease inflation… right?

    “Delusional”, is an understatement when describing your kind that wants all kinds or free services, but complains about inflation.

    You, Americans, are about to get a taste of reality soon enough. I’m watching you fall and laughing my butt off. You deserve every micro little bit of this. Keep voting for politicians that spend more money recklessly, and keep voting for more unfunded social programs, and keep exporting all industry outside of US and increasing your trade deficit, and one day your government bonds won’t be worth shit, and inflation will become hyper inflation, and all those like me will only continue laughing.

    Enjoy the decline, and remember that the more you fall, the more I’m laughing in the backseat.

    Now do your clown show and call me names to feel better.

      and remember that the more you fall, the more I’m laughing in the backseat.

      So when the car finally crashes, you’ll be right there to die alongside the people you’re laughing at? How thoughtful!
