Latex, can you for once be nice and not fuck up my images, please?

Can you stop pushing this image which you clearly have enough space for to the next page and leave the previous page completely empty??

    \vspace*{-\baselineskip} is your friend ;)

    @DirtEffect didn't do the thing. Plus, I've been given template not sure if I can manipulate like that.

    @DirtEffect lol. You know what worked? [!hb]
    LaTex makes me wanna bash my head sometimes.

    @NoMad LOL. Yeah float placement sucks sometimes. My advisor used to use minipages as ultima ratio, which means 1. go where you want to put the float 2. build a minipage at that point 3. put the float in there.

    That pretty much always worked.

    You forgot the first rule of LaTeX - LaTeX knows best. Always. Doesn't matter if it looks like crap, it put it there for a reason and it *will* argue with you like the most stubborn arsehole on the planet if you try to convince it otherwise.

    "Oh, you want that image there? Fine then, you dick. I'll just screw up the text underneath it, and then put another image later on in a stupid place instead. Like that, do you? Ready to give up?"

    What about everyone not just writing the documents in with HTML and CSS instead of Latex? Need e.g. multiple images side-by-side? Flexbox/Grid. Latex is just horrible syntax to work with.
