I don’t think this is how efficient markets are supposed to work.

[sunflowerbower]

That’s obscene.

[mightyinvincible]

Notice how all the entertainment item such as toys and tv have gotten more affordable over the years, as necessities such as food housing and hospitol services have gotten significantly pricier.

[mauken-dyn]

Yeah something’s wrong here.

[sushinfood]

It’s called a paywall. The rich only look after their own.

[sighinastorm]

[nevertrytofreezeculture]

This is a pretty good demonstration of why capitalism doesn’t work in practice. One of the core concepts of capitalism is that people will only pay what they can afford so the market will adjust and most things will be affordable to most people. This generally works for leisure items but not essential items. 

But, if it’s a choice between death and debt (or other undesirable ways of raising money) people will obviously go with the latter. And if every company that offers essential items/services raises their prices they all benefit, because people will have no choice but to pay more. And the core tenet of capitalism is that businesses should take the action that makes the most profit.

Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop

"You are no longer licensed to use the software," Adobe told them.

[awsomelink]

Friendly reminder that GIMP does pretty much everything Photoshop does, and it’s 100% free. Fuck DRM and the license culture, we have plenty of open source options available to us as a consumer.

Lightworks is a freeware video editor on par with Premiere

Blender is an excellent freeware 3D renderer,possibly better than After Effects

Lightzone to replace Lightroom

Inkscape to replace Illustratr

Audacity to replace Audition (I also received a free version of Pro Tools with my Scarlett Solo audio interface)

If Adobe is going to be greedy shitheads, then fuck ‘em. Don’t use their stuff. Freeware can be just as good, if not better, than Adobe CC.

when you shake up a soda, do you blame the soda for bursting with pressure or the force that shook it?

This is better than the LGBTQ section of netflix 

[iameverysparklywoman]

Being gay is a completely neutral thing that’s just like a natural variation in a population that some people have and it’s not good or bad and it doesn’t mean anything it just exists but also gay people are literally better than everyone else
