All my jobs have been paycheck-to-paycheck until about 3 years ago. My last job allowed me to save up $24k, but then I lost my job. Now I’m down to $7k and getting worried.

Hey, a Norm MacDonald reference!

Yeah Microsoft should take the risk here, not American citizens.

So let Microsoft pay to restart it.

I guess it the government gives them the loan then the gov’t gets interest payments, which must help inflation over time. Assuming that they make those payments…

I never took him at his word.

Does Notepad++ allow rich text?

Word is now so bloated that I fear using it. It’s nice to have Wordpad.

1. Good!
2. I’m never buying a vehicle that can be remotely shut down.

AI better cure cancer if we’re using this much energy on it.

Now everybody will learn that I’m ugly.

This clearly only applies to situations where the kids have more money than the parents. Generally, family helps out when they can. If you can’t help, then don’t. Obviously you shouldn’t help your parents financially if they’re more wealthy than you.

I’ve never heard this before, and it sounds gross and stupid. If you have the power to help your family then do it. Ignore the psycho who lets his parents wallow in poverty.

Although personally I’m more broke than my parents so it’s not an option.

I’m pretty sure that’s just a genre of video you can find on any video site.

I’ll give them credit for sticking with it so far. I even keep getting updates. But I assume they’re brainstorming ways to end the one-time payment installations.

Yeah I’m not going to pay their subscription. The whole point was to avoid Adobe.

Pay three times as much for a “feature” nobody asked for.

I like this (and largely follow it), except that I occasionally need CMYK color space for printing, and GIMP makes that extreeeeeeeeemely difficult and annoying. That’s why I use Affinity. I got the software for the single lifetime price and I’m hoping they let me keep it…

That’s too bad since they recently purchased the excellent Affinity suite… which I originally bought for a single lifetime price, but they’re switching to a subscription model. So my favorite editing suite might get ruined two ways.

This is cool, but are they really the beast we need to bring back? Where will they stay?
