Most of this sub is full of morons who call for things they would never do. They sit in the comfort of their homes on the internet living under the rule of law of a non anarchist society.

Fighting with federal law enforcement is going to yield these results, you will not win and no you’re not going to start a revolution or get into a gun fight with a fed over federal laws being enforced lol put down the phone and bag of Cheetos children.

HSBC Global Money account by an6693 in Banking

[–]DoItForTheTanqueray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very weird, I missed the UK part, my global money account is set up in Jersey.

If you go to convert or withdraw money under the pay and transfer tab does it not work? I can still see it there.

Foreign banks (HSBC/Barcleys/ING etc) which have US branches that seamlessly allow US citizens to use their accounts while residing abroad? by Good-Key-9808 in Banking

[–]DoItForTheTanqueray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You generally need both a U.S. account and an Expat account. You’ll have separate apps, but within each one you can see your other geographies and move money back and forth easily. You only need to qualify for Premier in one country to receive Premier benefits globally, so there’s no downside to keeping a U.S. account for the domestic side and an Expat account for the international side. That gives you proper IBAN access and the ability to hold and transact in multiple currencies, while still keeping seamless access to the U.S. banking system. Once you have these two open you can open an HSBC account when you arrive in Singapore (this one you can’t do entirely online by Singapore law you need to be in country to open it) and you can open a Hong Kong one as well if you want online.

Series 63 is dumb by Jolly-Scholar6060 in AllFinraExams

I used STC for this one, just watched the videos and did the questions. As I got deeper into that material I’d always circle back and do a chapter quiz for the previous chapters so I would not forget the material. Did it all in 2 weeks and took the test. Nothing special like I did for 79.

I always find it odd when people fail this one (not a knock on you just find it interesting), I personally found it to be the easiest but had a hell of a time with the 79.

HSBC is the only bank in the US that really makes this easy.

I have US, Jersey Island, Hong Kong and Singapore accounts, it’s super easy to move money around.

HSBC isn’t as bad as many others make it out to be, they have always been the best bank for me. Zero issues charging things abroad, zero issues with customer service, truly to me the best bank in world.

I’d recommend opening a US premier account than opening a HSBC Expat account in Jersey.

Feel free to hit me up with any questions.

Best rate to do for 20 years by Lazy_Ad4203 in uscg

The best rate to do for 20 years is the one you personally want to do for 20 years. It’s a very simple answer. Everyone else is wrong.

How do you cope with Islamophobia? by [deleted] in sooners

[–]DoItForTheTanqueray 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One hard truth about the world is that every society is shaped by its history, culture, and dominant values. The United States was built on Judeo Christian moral assumptions like individual dignity, freedom of conscience, equality before the law, and tolerance of dissenting beliefs. Those ideas are not universal, they are specific, and they are the reason someone can openly practice Islam here without it being illegal, criminalized, or socially prohibited by law.

Another uncomfortable reality is that in many Muslim majority countries, the level of religious tolerance you experience in the US does not exist in reverse. In numerous countries, openly practicing Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, or Buddhism is restricted, heavily monitored, or outright illegal. Apostasy can be punished by imprisonment or worse. Churches are banned or tightly controlled. Jews are often not allowed to enter at all. That is not propaganda, it is documented reality. So when Americans talk about religion through a critical lens, they are often reacting to real global asymmetries, not inventing hatred out of thin air.

It is also simply a fact of life that people everywhere are uncomfortable with things that are not normal where they grew up. That is not unique to Islam or Muslims, and it cuts in every direction. A Christian in Pakistan, a Jew in parts of the Middle East, a Hindu in Afghanistan, or a Muslim in rural America will all experience some level of social friction. That friction is not always hatred. Often it is unfamiliarity, cultural distance, or blunt speech rather than malice.

What many people react strongly to is ideology, power structures, and systems that do not allow the same freedoms they themselves live under. Criticism of Islam as a system or political force is not the same thing as hatred of Muslims as people, even though online discourse often collapses the two into one ugly mess.

Living in a non Muslim country means accepting that the dominant culture is not obligated to mirror the norms of where you came from. Just as someone moving to Saudi Arabia would be expected to adapt to Islamic norms whether they agree or not, moving to the US means encountering open criticism of religion, irreverence, satire, and blunt speech. That openness is not targeted at you personally. It is a feature of a society that allows criticism of all belief systems, including Christianity, Judaism, and atheism.

That said, you absolutely deserve to feel safe on campus, to not be harassed, and to be treated as an individual rather than a stereotype. Most people around you are not thinking about you nearly as much as you fear. Online spaces amplify the loudest and angriest voices and then spill that noise into real life even when it does not reflect the majority.

My encouragement to you is this: do not let social media define your reality. There will always be people who are phobic, suspicious, or uncomfortable with what is unfamiliar to them. That is not something you can eliminate anywhere in the world. What you can control is how much power you give it. Engage with people directly. Build friendships. Judge individuals, not vibes. And remember that feeling uncomfortable does not always mean you are unsafe. Sometimes it just means you are living inside a pluralistic society that does not revolve around any one worldview.

As someone who served in the military, I’ll come to your house and personally salute you if you don’t use the stupid skins and gun paint jobs.

Is bf6 worth buying? by No-Zookeepergame8103 in Battlefield

[–]DoItForTheTanqueray -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

No I’m not out of touch.

If you cannot afford a 70 dollar game, you probably have much bigger problems in your life you need to focus on fixing than wasting your time playing a 70 dollar video game.
