I use this service but I think there's something wrong with their servers because I don't seem to get any emails? Oddly enough emails from my gmail account works but literally 0 of the 100+ job recruiters I've emailed has responded so I think there's something wrong.

IRANGEon Lightroom app update wipes users' photos and presets, Adobe says not recoverable

Exactly.

I have been “trialing” many apps that I wouldn’t normally bother with because of the high start-up cost. I say “trialing” because usually the 7 day or whatever trial period isn’t enough for me to decide if I want to keep the app or not, so I just typically sign up for a month after that as well.

For example, I think OmniFocus is like $100+. I heard lots of great things about it and tried it out, but as it is a task manager the 7 or 14 day trial wasn’t enough. Without being able to pay for a single month, knowing that I can cancel it immediately after I sign up and not worry about the subscription again, I would have never given it another look. But I was able to pay $10 for a month. And that month gave me enough time to try out all the features. Unfortunately for them I decided this was not the right software for me, but that’s how it goes.

Someone else in this thread wrote that Lightroom doesn’t have monthly subscriptions. Again, via Apple, it seems like I can subscribe for a month at $2, $5, or $10 depending on my storage needs. Though after this story I wouldn’t trust them for storage and would just take the $2 plan of I needed to use the software.

Lightroom is available at $1.99, $4.99, and $9.99 monthly for 40, 100, and 1000 GB of cloud storage, respectively.

This is what Apple’s App Store tells me.

This is why whenever it’s possible I will sign up and pay for the subscription via Apple’s IAP. It’s simple, no bullshit, and I can cancel my current month’s subscription immediately.

IRANGEon 'Street Crisis' team to replace San Francisco police on mental health calls

I called the police on someone who was stumbling around on the sidewalk next to a calm but normally fast street. I was worried for her safety, that she was going to stumble into traffic, so I called the cops because I had no idea what else to do. In a way, I guess I assumed/hoped that they would be smart enough to dispatch a health worker after hearing what I told them.

Why didn’t I try to help the woman? Simple. I’m black. She was a drunk middle aged white woman. It would not have gone well for me.
