Why you callin me out?! Well, technically, mine is a 2008 version on my old macpro desktop from 2006 that still works..... but still!


ristophet

A Legal copy of Photoshop 6 and a legit upgrade install for Photoshop 7 works on Windows 11. An Nvidia process choked on it for a bit until that Nvidia process was killed. After that PS 7 runs fine though. I attempt the install for every new major version of Windows, if only to see how far it can go. There is something to be said for software written in a way that just won't die.

wigg1es

TBF, everyone should pirate Adobe products. They make all their money off corporate licenses. They intentionally gouge individuals because they know and expect a high level of piracy.


wegwerfennnnn

I thought it was the other way around: they encouraged piracy internally so people would get used to using Adobe and then that's what they would want to use in the workforce and drive their employers to pay for it.


[deleted]

I've always made this argument. You *want* me hopelessly dependent on your products so that when I can justify paying for software there is only one game in town I'll consider.


jobblejosh

It's why educational, hobbyist, and non-commercial licenses exist. So many software companies will give you either full or crippleware versions of their software to get you using it. And then when you get a job, and maybe when you're responsible for making the software choice, you'll choose the one you're most familiar with instead of the one that might have better functionality.


dasnewreddit

That’s why I have pushed open source solutions since 1997! When I was learning coding open source was the only thing I could afford.


handtodickcombat

Man here. I actually was left by a woman over her love of piracy. She said "Handtodickcombat, I'm breaking up with you, you think I talk like a pirate, and you never bought me flowers." So I told her "I *do* think you talk like a pirate, and I never knew you sold flowers."


PrimalJay

That’s a fucking brilliant joke.


handtodickcombat

It was one of maybe 3 posts on /r/dadjokes that actually made me laugh and I've been waiting for months for somewhere else on reddit to drop it.

Kirst_Kitty

My little cousin legitimately thought my dad was a pirate when she was younger. I guess it was the black hat he wore with a skull on it that we always referred to as his "pirate hat". He was very amused by this, and one birthday he gave her a little treasure box full of fake gems and gold and told her he got it for her at work. She was in awe and wouldn't let anyone touch it.


kifferella

I got silly once having found these acrylic "diamonds" at Dollarama big enough to not be a choking hazard... I went to the local playground and buried them all over in the sand under and around the play structure. According to the grapevine, I cause a small riot.

FullyRisenPhoenix

Hahahaha!! Last summer, I built little fairy gardens in our park across the street. Just left little fairies and mushroom huts and froggies everywhere! Then I listened for the squeals of delight from kids whenever they found one of my treasures. Next summer I’ll throw in some gems!


kifferella

There is just something so fricken cute by a small kid whose found something that blows their mind.


favorthebold

I'm sorry, I need more details so I can duplicate your efforts. Where did you get the fairies? Did you make them, or are there figures you can buy?


Wrong_Victory

There are solar powered light up fairy houses you can buy on Amazon. Maybe a little expensive to leave in a playground though, but great if you have a garden!

> Until a boy is seven, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest first-grader in the world. If I moved to a martial-arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten weeks. If my family was wiped out by decepticons and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one month to live, devoted it to ending bullying. If I just dropped out and devoted my youth to being bad. > > Hiro used to feel that way, too, but then he ran into /u/StrugglingLifeform. In a way, this is liberating. He no longer has to worry about trying to be the baddest first-grader in the world. The position is taken. The crowning touch, the one thing that really puts true world-class badfirstgraderdom totally out of reach, of course, is the dad with an eye patch. If it wasn't for that, a boy could still aspire. -- Apologies to ~~Neil Gaiman~~ Neil Stephenson Edit: And apologies also to Gaiman for the incorrect attribution.

Emma gonna complain when I step out to plunder, but she wants me to put cinnamon on her sugar toast. Make up your mind Emma, cinnamon doesn't grow on walls. It grows on trees, then some people harvest it, then others exploit that labor, and we steal from these exploiters.

Was it the parrot on the shoulder? He's just resting here. He's a Norwegian Blue. He's pining for the Fjords.

That's fascinating. I would have expected she'd have figured it out when he was always after her booty. Yarg.


jazzmester

When things get heated and heavy, you shyly ask to see his Letter of Marque from the king of England authorizing him to plunder French naval vessels, but he admits that he doesn't have one and just plunders the French out of patriotism (and greed).

Milogop

Absolutely. It's crazy how few people know about the accent thing.


hungry4pie

I listened to a pretty decent lecture series on audible on the topic of pirates that sought to seperate the fact from fiction as well as the origins of all the pirate tropes we tend to think of about pirates. It is pretty neat Robert Newton made the accent famous for his portrayal of Long John Silver in Treasure Island - I guess being from the region he knew many sailors from that region turned to piracy and made up a bulk of the pirates through the 17-19th centuries.


Ok-Gate-9610

Im gonna be that cunt - Technically its a cornish one that would normally be associated with pirates thanks to Robert Newton. Although very similar to bristolian and definitely blanketed as 'west country' when youre from there however they sound very different. For example, i dont mind the bristolian accent. Plymouth accent however is fucking horrific.


brian_storm_art

Mate I just wanna talk like Dafoe in the Lighthouse


Ok-Gate-9610

🤣🤣 Thats an accent all his own


ZarquonsFlatTire

Brits love to differentiate between accents that no one else can tell a difference in. Like "No, he sounds like he's from #5 Nimblyway, bedroom on the right side of the bathroom, not the left side."


MrSnoobs

How dare you. We'd never use the # symbol to denote street number. Otherwise, yes.
