yall look at this shit ad*be is tryna pull now on ppl who have outdated software:

(note for context: i’m all for piracy, but in this case my copy of CS6 was downloaded years ago when they were giving it away to students. i got it totally legally.)

so here is what NOT to do if you’re a loyal fan of adobe who has the cash to shell out for a newer and shittier version of the product you already paid for.

1) DON’T use your search bar to find and open the Run app

2) DON’T type in services.msc

3) DON’T find Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Services and right-click to get a dropdown menu, and don’t select ‘properties’

4) if you happen to click properties, DON’T use the startup type dropdown to locate the option to disable the program. be sure you DON’T click apply to finalize that change. 

5) DO NOT do the same thing in order to also disable Adobe Genuine Software Monitor 

if you do all of these things, this WILL disable adobe’s ability to monitor the software, and you will be forced to continue using the same older software that you already paid for instead of having to sign up for a newer, shittier version and pay more for it. so if you have lots of cash to spare and are cool with putting it the pockets of racketeering capitalists, definitely don’t do any of these things. 

however, you SHOULD reblog this to spread the word, as we certainly want to make sure lots of people know what NOT to do :)

I’M SORRY MA'AM. I KNOW YOU’RE UPSET.

Pretend to be upset.

OP how could you

I hope none of my friends who use Adobe programs find this, follow your detailed instructions, and spread the word. That would be devastating!

You… you told me once that you weren’t a hero. Umm, there were times I didn’t even think you were mouse, but let me tell you this: you were the best mouse, and the most mouse… mouse being that I’ve ever known, and no one will ever convince me that you told me a lie, and so… There. I was so alone, and I owe you so much. Please, there’s just one more thing, one more thing, one more miracle, Basil, for me. Don’t… be… dead. Would you, just for me, just stop it? Stop this.

 it was nice knowing you all bye

English speakers: did you know that when you learn English, you get a FREE bonus language? Due to mutual intelligibility (when two languages are closely related enough that you can understand one if you know the other), if you are fluent in English, you can read literature in Scots. Because of the colonization and disenfranchisement of the Scottish people, it isn't very popular to write in Scots and authors get told nobody will read their books, so I HIGHLY suggest you do. Support colonized people writing in their own language! Support Scots!

Suggested Scots lit:

Trainspotting (cult classic about the life and times of heroin addicts, mostly known for the movie adaptation, but it was a book first. Probably the easiest to read on the list for people who know English but don't know Scots.)

Be Guid Tae Yer Mammy (a darkly comic family drama, involves interesting topics like invisible disability, is in fact very funny)

But'n'Ben A Go-Go (Scots cyberpunk! Suggest you start with one of the other books above and get used to Scots before tackling this one though. This is written in "What if Scots, but it's the future so it evolved some?" so reading it is definitely hard mode. But if you're up for the challenge, it's some solid SF.)

These are just three. Please add on with other books in Scots if you have any recommendations.

Lastly: Here is an online Scots-English dictionary to help you out, should you need it. Happy reading!

We all adore tender and gentle Crowley and Aziraphale, yes, but these are two bitches who are both IMMORTAL and PETTY and they have absolutely have jokes that reach back centuries.  Crowley went to six (6) medical lectures in Bologna in 1261 and now takes the opportunity to lord it over Aziraphale at every opportunity. Aziraphale teases him by asking about his humours are today, and after one too many times of Aziraphale addressing him as Doctor Crowley he fucking applies to medical school. He sits exams. He does rounds. All so that the next time Aziraphale looks at him smugly over his wine glass and makes a jab at his medical expertise Crowley can take out the degree certificate which he has kept in the back pocket of his jeans for the last three years and slide it across the table. 

Aziraphale gets a doctorate in art history. His thesis is on theories about the composition of the Mona Lisa. Crowley does a Masters in Librarian Studies to really hit Aziraphale where it hurts.

Aziraphale studies city planning and civil engineering. 

Crowley goes to Japan for a few years and becomes a wakiita.

Aziraphale gets a driving license.  Oh, now it’s fucking ON. Crowley gets a job at the British Library. Aziraphale goes on a stunt driving course. He hates every second of it and cries after most lessons, but he gets the fucking certificate and frames it and hangs it where he knows Crowley will be able to see it. It doesn’t go quite according to plan. Crowley will be bitching about the British Library’s accession standards and he’ll notice that Aziraphale is burning a hole through his face with the pride and delight in his eyes. Or he’ll be plotting another spike in London road rage incidents and Aziraphale will say, “No, if you really want to put a pinch on traffic flow, you need to consider diverting HERE,” and Crowley stares at him with heart-stopping adoration.

And when he’s at his Graduation ceremony, receiving his Masters in Book Conservation, let’s see the angel talk about my driving now, haha, this one will really fuck with him, Crowley looks up and THE BLOODY ANGEL IS THERE IN THE AUDIENCE, how did the bastard even find out about this?

Welcome to the hellscape which @tartan-thermos and I cannot escape.

If there’s one good thing you can say about me, it is that I am willing to spiral incoherently at a moment’s notice.

Honestly, though. The first time Aziraphale looks up from his desk to see Anthony ‘I don’t read’ Crowley waggling a copy of Two Treatises at him and going, “Oi, angel, need a new endband here; spine’s gone all floppy,” he is obliged to close the shop IMMEDIATELY, and nobody sees either of them for about a week and a half.

do you think if that period of time where will and hannibal were literally profiling each other’s crime scenes had been extended they would have gotten really petty. like “the killer probably needs to commit to whatever relationship he’s in right now because his lover is getting restless” “hmm…this killer has mixed feelings about dog hair in his apartment” “fascinating how this killer hasn’t done the dishes in a month”

Ho conosciuto M. Qui in Tumblr quasi 6 anni fa.

M. è una mamma di 38 anni vive a Roma e sta passando un periodo molto difficile.

Ha attraversato una separazione tumultuosa, tanto che al momento l'ex marito non le permette di vedere sua figlia.

Nell'ultimo anno ha avuto problemi di salute è stata operata alle gambe.

Non ha un lavoro, a dire il vero ne ha trovati tre in un anno e tutte e tre le volte l'hanno fatta lavorare per uno due tre mesi senza pagarla.

Attualmente vive ospite da un'amica.

Vorrebbe solo avere la possibilità di lavorare per poter riprendere in mano la propria vita e lottare per avere di nuovo sua figlia e una casa dove vivere.

Ha la patente ma ha dovuto vendere l'automobile perché impossibilitata a mantenerla .

Vive nella zona Nord di Roma.

È un periodo difficile per tutti ma qui in Tumblr io ho incontrato spesso persone di gran cuore.

Vi chiedo di veicolare più possibile questo mio appello affinché si possa trovare qualcuno che la possa aiutare onestamente in qualunque modo lo voglia fare.

Naturalmente potete scrivermi e contattarmi senza nessuna remora se potete aiutarla in qualche modo.

Ringrazio tutti quelli che avranno la gentilezza di rispondere a questo mio appello.
