Oh fuck…

The term “house elf” always implied to me that there were other, possibly different in appearance, elves of Harry Potter.

Every time something like this gets posted a bunch of snobby elitist types come out to point and laugh and talk about how obvious it is that the thing wasn’t safe. Well what is? What’s the special secret you’re keeping from everyone else? If you don’t have one to share, STFU with the smarmy attitudes.

It’s going to be TOUGH to mentally replace.

Not when I use it!

Google is like China these days.

Okay, but yes it is if you aren’t being extremely technical and pedantic.

Yeah well until there’s another ecosystem that comes even close to being as good, I’m going to continue pirating Adobe. None of the alternatives I’ve tried have been deserving of the overwhelming praise I see, they’re all lacking tons of features that PS has had for years.

I’ve been pirating Photoshop since I was 14 in 2005, and I’ve only been proven time and again that they don’t deserve my money. Easily one of the greediest, greasiest companies out there.

That’s just double the kink for me.

There’s a bunch I know when I see them, but not many I can think of right on the spot. Apple, Liquid Death, and Celestial Seasonings are a few I can think of though. Apple for a million reasons; LD because I just find their whole campaign insanely obnoxious and everywhere I look and I hate that people are paying ridiculous prices for plane ass water in a can; Celestial Seasonings because it’s straight up an actual cult.

So you don’t have nearly 17 million terabytes of storage? 🤣

Is this a shitpost? Glitch?

Rent, bills, the whole nine yards like a real full blown adult in their 30s that left home at 18 and never went back. My parents have both been dirt poor my entire life.

Sounds like a you problem. I’m poor AF working at a grocery store and I still have a decent PC just by buying new parts here and there and saving money where necessary to do so.

So when I was a child and these things didn’t exist and I wasn’t watching screens, why was it exactly the same? Why has it been the exact same at every stage of my life never weaker nor stronger? I’m just trying to get at the point that you’re full of shit and probably pulled that straight out of your own ass.

I assume you responded to the wrong person?

That’s a legitimate nightmare for me. No offense but that feels incredibly dark and bleak, I’m sorry you don’t get to see pictures in your head buddy. 🙁

I think it’s only a small percentage that do this as a norm, but I think if you have a personal connection to the thing being described it can trigger a reaction like that in a much larger group of people. As an example: if you’ve traumatically broken a specific bone you’re more likely to cringe at a story about someone else breaking that bone than a person who’s never broken any bones.

:( You just made me realize I’m only a 3 and I’m missing out on color mode. This hurts.
