I can no longer activate any of my physical Photoshop versions except for the lame Elements stuff.

They want to force me into the pay-per-month Cloud crap.

Any suggestions?

My CS 6 suite is now useless.

Snails don’t need any of this drama.

They just knock up themselves.

Hm?.....That is an interesting observation. Yes, it was common when I was a child to hear men whistling.

All of my great grand dads sailed their sloops and pungies in and around the Bay. Some traded along the coast from Cuba to Boston. My dad’s dad’s dad was killed by his cook in Richmond and his boat brough to the Balt inner harbor where my dad, as a boy, saw the blood on the deck.

after decades of trying to kill their ancestors with sweet powders and liquids laced with poison.

I rented a house in FL that had previously been occupied by about 30 Mexicans. It was so loaded with German cockroaches that dozens were squished on the fridge door magnet/seal. We simply cleaned the place really well and the roaches went away. Never used any spray, powder, liquid etc. If they have nothing to eat, they die or leave.

Not sure what your comfort level with Photoshop is and how much photo editing you do but I’ve been a huge fan of GIMP for years. It’s free, works on PC/Mac/Linux, and has everything I could possibly need for my photos (I especially take a lot of concert photos, not a pro just a fan with a smartphone) Before that I used Paint Shop Pro but I just checked and they want $80 for full version, yea no I’m good with GIMP.

Ahhhhh, nature adapts and a lot more quickly than climate alarmists assume.

I feel your pain, Salamander. You can be assured, if there is anyone...ANYONE who despises subscription software more than you in this wide world, it is...ME.

I had been using Photoshop since 1993, and had last purchased a CS3 upgrade in 2008 (I think)

Then, at some point, Adobe or Apple disabled the “check in” authentication function which really pissed me off.

I spent a total of about eight hours on the phone, until I got one Indian tech so exasperated that he gave me a link to download a copy of CS3 that didn’t require the “check in”, but...eventually my CS3 became incompatible with Apple.

[In his cell in Las Vegas, Glen muses on a cockroach skittering around the prison floor.]

Glen Bateman:
You’re quite a piece of work, Mr. Cockroach. We could take a lesson from you, especially in light of recent events. I have an idea that… I’ll be gone, come this time tomorrow. But you’ll still be trucking, won’t you? Running your little roach errands.

[Suddenly a boot stomps on the roach. Pan up to reveal a grinning Flagg.]

Randall Flagg:
That’s a wrap on the roach.

After reading this I had an image of AOC and her Birkenstock boyfriend doing the deed.

Have they added this to the extensive list of Climate Change effects (which seems to the result of programing by a al-gor-ithm)?

In addition, boric acid around walls and water, under sinks, etc. usually irridcates them, thank God. Living in a crowded city sometimes means dealing with such.

Wow. It’s great to know family history like that.

You know…when I’m trying to attract a gal, that absolutely works for me every single time!

That was my first thought when I read that.

That’s interesting. I never knew that most snails are hermaphrodites:

So it’s pointless to tell a snail to go F itself, basically.

;D

Things started going sideways with Win10, not surprisingly.

I should drag out an old Win7 laptop and see if it’s screwed, too.

I have ALL my PS copies since PS4.

Pretty much only useful as coasters, now.
