#I just haven’t had the money

[absolutely-wretched]

omg this is so important. I just went through hell about Adobe when I signed up for a couple months for school even though I hate Adobe and their Blackrock monopoly bullshit, but I had no choice. So I had to drop out because of chronic stomach problems and I go to cancel my subscription. Oh no, you can’t without spending $100. Which was certainly not advertised. I’m pretty sure there’s now a class-action lawsuit about exactly what happened to me, I’d have to look into it.

I also have been looking for graphic design opportunities, and I’m locked out of all of them because I use Affinity instead of Adobe. Adobe is awful, price gougy, AI ridden, ran by Black Rock, a Million apps that do similar shit, can’t own it, etc. Affinity is a pricey-ish one time payment that’s often on sale for less than $50 per program (there are 3). Then I use Procreate for Illustration (one time $12 iirc)

Please let’s get away from Adobe. If we all collectively do so maybe people can get into art jobs or college without having to use it. (Luckily Affinity can convert Adobe’s file types so you can import it that way, but I’m not sure about exporting which would be needed to lie to work about what program you’re using. Not that it would be feasible anyway). Also please someone on Skillshare make an Affinity course cuz currently there’s little learning tools that aren’t the books, further forcing people back towards Adobe.

Wait new hbomb video??? When???

From his most recent Patreon post:

"...my next main-channel video, tentatively titled Adobe Must Die, should be out before the end of the year, but don't hold me to that."

I'm reeeeeeally looking forward to that one, I hate Adobe so much and I wanna see it burn 😤

Was nobody gonna warn me that I would fall a little bit in love with every character in Stardew

I’m sure I’ve told you guys before about my coworker at my part time warehouse job that hates Duncan but I had to work with her again tonight and she was on her bullshit regarding him again.

I would like to clarify, this doesn’t upset me. I mean it does in the sense of “I can’t stand her and she’s a bitch” but also it’s fine. She can think what she wants to think. What matters is that I know Duncan is happy and I love him.

BUT ALL THAT TO SAY! It is so funny to me that she is a grown woman and this is who she has beef with. He’s just a little fella. Girl you are so dumb to be beefing with a cat.

Anyways he’s mad in this video because I stopped him from trying to eat Gertrude’s breakfast and gave him a bath.

The most appropriate response to what’s happened is very obviously to find a clearance steak for Jack and cook it for dinner with some to add to the dogs’ and cat’s meals. Buy a JUMBO bag of sunflower seeds to spoil the birds. Get myself a slurpee, a big box of freezies and Jack a case of beer. Then just sit in the house, play a good game, and occasionally go “AND ANOTHER THING” in a bitch fest circle

Thinking about getting a desktop computer in the future and I’m already overwhelmed just by looking at all the different ones out there.

my parents keep telling me I have to work for for profits to get an idea of how the “real world” works especially when I talk about housing policy and I’m like. I have exactly as much respect for landlords and developers as rational economic actors who are needed, in our current capitalist system, to “provide” housing, as I need as a professional. and as someone who will not never, until they die, have as much housing security as they have ever experienced, and as someone who spent the entire pre-covid vaccine period talking to landlords and tenants individually and witnessing people barely escape getting thrown out of their homes into a pandemic with no job, I am not ever gonna respect them one iota more. sorry.

the new season of iasip is so good i love how they’re all being nicer to each other but not in a way that’s out of character

woke up at 4am feeling the weight of my life crushing me, so I’ve been sitting out in my car for the last couple of hours because I just need. to. be. somewhere else.

what’s really crazy about the laundry thing though is that it had to have been WEEKS of it sitting there waiting to be picked up. and i wonder if the women who worked there keeping it there waiting for the soldiers to come back and pick it up even considered the horrific implication that it hasn’t been picked up because there’s no one to do it. like was she really that naive to think maybe dozens of men had forgotten to come back to her shop? there’s no wayyyy. that scene was BONKERS it’s been haunting me for days. there’s no one to think about picking up their laundry. just a devastating way to show how many little things one person’s life touches and how much crumbles under the weight of such a massive war. as i said the other day. world war 2 was genuinely one of the all time bummers…

and of course this goes to show just how well done the show is at neither glamorizing or vilifying the war and the people who were affected by it. like i think the show gives proper weight to everything without being like. american military propaganda you know? the fact that the characters take “trophies” from people they kill is crazy to me and i think that’s an example of how the writing is handling disturbing topics with a certain nuance that’s usually absent in most propaganda esque war media. we’re supposed to be disturbed that they’re so insensitive to the fact they’re taking someone else’s life, but we’re also made to understand why they feel that way and how deeply The Enemy has been dehumanized to them over all their training. i mean that’s just how i see it maybe i’m being too complimentary. i think it’s a good show though i’m allowed to be complimentary when i normally just watch garbage

This week was another long week and I'm just. Exhausted. Sad. Frustrated. Burnt out and tired and. Done.
