Get GIMP*
-
gimp is so difficult tho 😅 paint..net and pinta are simpler open source alternatives (w less features) for ppl who dont want to learn gimp
-
Or, after getting GIMP, get PhotoGIMP and never look back.
-
For a browser based approach, photopea.com is my goto
-

I might or might have not spent 3 hours in a workday trying to figure out how to get the cut out tool to work in gimp for a WhatsApp sticker.
I guess that's both and indicative of gimp being as friendly as Unix and how much I hate Adobe's business model

You guys have to provide a bank report now to get a flat? Talk about intrusive.

Various tenent/landlord laws make it a real pain in the ass to evict a tenent (as it should be for most cases). Property owners respond by heavily vetting prospective tenents and want to make sure that rent will not be delinquent (i dont blame them tbh).
The solution of course, is more high density low cost housing. But thats not what capitalism wants 🤷🏼♂️

Why go for small margins selling homes to people that actually want to live in them rather than get a big return selling to speculator/landlords?

Ok but... Maybe it means you can't afford it?

In Seattle it is becoming common to require 4x rent in pay, some places it is at 5x. Because rent here is so high it basically dwarfs all other costs. 4-5x rent could mean a $100k job with enough left over after living expenses to max out a 401k and have entertainment funds.
Someone looking to foothold in the area and 'just get by' could still be able to afford rent and cheap living, not all the other stuff like going out or retirement, but get blocked by high income requirements. This leaves them with the choice of "screw you we don't want poors" or "commute an hour plus and shift rent costs to car costs and extra pollution".
It isn't as simple as "they can't afford it" when in a lot of cases you literally can but landlords are setting unreasonable bars.

It's so stupid right now. The lease asked for bank statements, savings accounts, paycheck stubs and credit reports?!
I make six figures and they want my savings?

Not necessarily - some income requirements are kind of crazy, like they need your rent to be less than 20% of your takehome income.
Especially nowadays with rent being more expensive than ever and generally making up a bigger portion of people's budget than before (by necessity), it's not that uncommon to spend half or more of your take home on rent. Especially somewhere like NYC

The problem is that many people can afford it, but the apartments want them to have absolutely asinine levels of income. Many apartments are starting to ask for anywhere from 3 to 4 times the rent in monthly income. And considering that even a one bedroom apartment in many cities is starting to cost upwards of over $2,000 they want you to make $6,000 to $8,000 in monthly income at which point why the actual fuck would I be looking for a shitty one bedroom apartment. They already asked for first month rent last month rent and a deposit that should be enough to prove that I'm capable of managing my money

Or you know use your browser's tools to just edit stuff directly, it's much less work, like 100% real and is absolutely free?
Editing a picture is absolutely unnecessary
It’s still funny, but man it is like a taking a nuclear bomb to open up your poptarts box
Also I don't really want to have to deal with Adobe in their BS "everything's a subscription now" model.
Especially if I only want the program for 5 minutes
Photopea works well, is free, and doesn’t require a download too.
A lot of banks only have statements in PDF format
In this case, I recommend using something like LibreOffice Draw, granted it's not that easy but still easier than using image editing and cheaper than Adobe Acrobat
Edit: I also didn't know this, but draw, being a vector graphics tool, can also edit the text in PDFs. Granted it's not convenient because PDFs in general aren't. Still better than shelling out money to Adobe
Did this back in the day to "update" my eye prescription so I could make an order. All I had was paper.
