I'm admittedly having trouble finding a place that does them, but Wikipedia claims that debit is also done through UnionPay, American Express, Discover, STAR, JCB, and Pulse EDIT: It looks like I might be able to get a discover debit card with Capital One

Sorry. I'm just spitballing ideas. In any case, an increasing number of places are taking it, even if not necessarily tesco. I could cut out mastercard where I can and only deal with them where I need to. In the long run though, I do still think I need to look into getting a different bank...

I may need to consider getting into crypto. It's my understanding that that's decentralized

I think the issue is that it's associated with a movement that wants to maliciously trick and trap people into traditional relationships and attacking LGBTQ is a part of that

I mea tbe issue we're discussing. You said credit and "other factors". Porn is not a legitimate factor. They should be forced to base their decisions only on credit

Honestly if there's any change that american english orthography needs it's to eliminate "w" since the language has otherwise been scoured clean of ligatures

I think we can agree this isn't a legitimate factor. Legally they might be able to get away with it, but that's just an indication that the law needs to change

Then the definition needs to be expanded (ugh. now I have to write to my ----ing congressman too)

Permissiveness is never unreasonable

The real problem is that for some inexplicable reason the credit card companies aren't yet legally classified as common carriers. They're moving money around for you they should face the same restrictions as people moving freight or data or phone calls around.

Unfortunately my current debit card is a mastercard. Which is annoying because it's currently the main card I use. I'm going to have to talk to my bank and see if they can get me a non-mastercard one, or possibly might even have to find a new bank

Apparently it's because of pressure from the credit card companies again Don't know how much good it'll do but I found a petition https://www.change.org/p/tell-mastercard-visa-activist-groups-stop-controlling-what-we-can-watch-read-or-play In the meantime I'm going to have to look into...

And doubly so for drow

They're able ruin those things because people let them. If we didn't immediately stop using things as soon as one of them brushed against it they wouldn't be able to take it. In a way they're not even taking it at all, we're rolling over and giving it to them like Neville Chamberlain. We need to...

American society seems to hit a nadir every 30-40 years. The 1950's were primitive and repressed, and so were the 80's through early 90's. And now it's happening again It's like Ghostface from Scream. New people keep taking up the mantle of the same old evil. That said I'd rather have Ghostface...

That sounds correct to me. Edit: Do you mean currently or historically or a combination of both? Historically it should probably be higher than 90%. Personally, I tend to view everything prior to around late the 1960's as one continuous dark age.

Warhammer EDIT: Also the Principia Discordia

The essay lost me when it said that the term "Mary-Sue" is sexist. I've heard it used plenty of times for male characters; the claim that it's overwhelmingly or exclusively used for female characters is a strawman

Especially halflings. Gnomes have the kooky mad scientist angle though and that's interesting
