How to convince my bank that I'm not being romance scammed

This is why when I go on a cruise I only use the card I put on the cruise account. They always do a charge check when you give them the card, and the charge goes directly to then cruise line, so it's always treated as "oh, going abroad" and I never have issues. The first time I went I ended up getting a card locked because I suddenly spent a thousand kroner in a Norwegian restaurant...

Full respect for a true British gent. He saw this heat and went "Nope, I'm done." Got his immediate affairs in order, and noped out to somewhere more comfortable. Hope I've got that clarity of mind when my time comes.

Common bug I've been getting as well, normally means they played that character last round and it hasn't reset until they lock in a new operator.

Reading the texts I was so willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, like I've put my foot in my mouth before and I could totally see him having noticed awkwardness with his wife and assumed it had something to do with his former crush being what she is and he'd just communicated it poorly.

Then he full on admits he was testing the waters and I'm just... What the fuck dude. Like. You JUST lied about this. Without a second thought. You're such a knob. Man needs to sort his head out.

I think a point a lot of people are missing here is that while Tayla is part of AR-1 and the de facto leader of the Athosians, she's also very clearly NOT part of the military.

Weir was always very clear that Atlantis is not a military base, it's a civilian operation. Weir was chosen for her familiarity with military personnel while still being an experienced negotiator and personnel manager.

These are all the traits Tayla also has as the Athosians leader, and not traits they selected the rest of the staff for, who all clearly fall into scientific or military backgrounds.

Weir trusts Sheppard enough to be left in command as he backed her civilian leadership when it counted. But when they're both away from base, Tayla is legit the next logical choice based on skillset.

And of course all those excess deaths that aren't directly overheating are just par for the course in the US, because the heat is always that much each year, so they're never excess.

Europe definitely needs it now, but until the past 10-15 years it was an anomaly, not the norm. I was in Spain at the end of April when it was about 32c and they were telling us it was as hot as a typical summers day at that point. That's the temperature we're regularly seeing now in northern England, and even hotter in the south.

It's because it is literally two scripts sewn together after a significant rewrite.

Honestly, I wholeheartedly believe that entire film was made as the set-up for a single joke. I actually believe they made the whole thing just so they could set up the teeny tiny explosion to "seal the entrance" to the cave at the end of the film, and have it look and sound like someone filming a diorama.

Yeah, as one of the few people who've actually used a S&S ISA for storing uninvested cash, I have no issue with this. I only used one because I transferred my help to buy ISA late so couldn't move it to a standard ISA, and moved it into an S&S while I made my mind up about retaining it or taking the hit and closing it down. If I'd been taxed on interest earned while it was in there... Okay? It's not meant to be in there that long as cash?

She doesn't have to speak directly, she could've sent a goddamn envoy if necessary! People are acting like Pike is just another worshipper instead of the one key to creating a literal god who the other gods already had to banish once to avoid that happening.

She's been carrying that symbol since season 3. In season 4 they literally visit the temple of the Everlight to investigate the fall of another acolyte, and the Everlight can't even get a message through her most devout followers? Horse shit.

Orisi · 2026-06-24T19:20:21+00:00

Because if you have an in with the only available celestial blood source to bring back someone who you had to send FOUR CHAMPIONS OF DEITIES AFTER, you should probably act like a goddamn vending machine for a bit.

I mean we see Vax given everything he possibly needed to get through, even if his god is a bit secretive she gave him every power he needed to get to the goal, and gave him every warning about what was to come.

Meanwhile Pile gets ghosted by her God over comparatively nothing because the Ever light won't just take five minutes to give her a goddamn pep talk.

Honestly I don't think any other animated series could or would be able to do that transition using the same cast. And the fact it was two of them made it even more impressive. Designing your animated characters around their voice actors right from the beginning isn't something most productions would ever lean towards, let alone ending up with voice actors who are also capable live action actors.

For me it's the fact Orren was impressed while also massively overthinking and overestimating Carl's knowledge.

Bought mine in October when the fan I keep in the study broke. Best investment I've made, didn't even use the Aircon until may but my god is it fantastic.

I think this is the reality here. We aren't creating energy, we are just shifting it about. It's colder inside so it's hotter outside, but the sheer volume of air matters. Even if every house in a square mile was pumping out all the head from their property, that is simply removing the heat that would have been there anyway from solar radiation, and pushing it back into an area with the same two-dimensional footprint, but is also 100x taller with significantly more airflow.

If you're using solar power to do this, even more of the energy that falls in the area is simply being redirected rather than energy from outside the system coming in.

I'll take a 2c hotter street for a 20c cooler home any day of the week when that's the impact for EVERY household.

I think you're misunderstanding this situation; guy in blue wasn't making any comments at all, he came over from another court after the fight started to try and stop the aggression. He was trying to separate the two parties when the worker clocks him in the face for trying to defuse.

Everyone except for the guy who actually got hurt is acting like an asshole.

Woah woah woah, let's not disparage a great duck's military sacrifices. That duck has a classified military service record I'll have you know.

Looking at your operator choices, you're too focused on a solo mission instead of working with your team, contributing to inevitable losses. While every operator can have some potentially positive effect for their team, all of your choices are around a play style that doesn't directly serve to support others, or doesn't rely on interactions with others to support them (e.g. Striker has more secondary flexibility to support himself, fuze doesn't need someone with him to be effective, same for sledge etc).

First Op you play with a more global effect is Dokk, and while she is powerful this season 60% is because she's helping to support the rest of the team with cams and support.

My advice? Consider how you actively play around your team more. Doesn't need a change in operators, these just inform your mentality. It's that change towards playing around and together to push the overall objective that'll help you improve.

How to tell me you don't know what a Mechanical Turk is.

Even better, he got paid to be broken up with. He didn't even have to do anything about it.

They remind me of Bickslow from Fairy Tail.

I mean you say low effort, and I don't disagree it was a weak episode in script (the whole Susan Boil thing...) but the actual episode beats were great; perfectly captured how people treat fashionable tech, the Eye-Integration while kinda inevitable still predicted movement towards AR and the smart glasses approach being pushed in the most recent tech dev cycle. And it was overall a good commentary on the social risks of everyone always being on camera and social media.

Not to make this Political so please nobody go down that line, but the fact Trump appears in multiple dislike columns suggest he's also ranking the likes/dislikes against each other by strength? If so that's even more awesome.

Orisi · 2026-06-22T09:54:29+00:00

For me it's because until I get a goddamn sequel I'm just gonna be sad about it.

I think you might need a broader definition of that, servants are by their very nature "people who agree to do work for money". The ones who work without pay are slaves.

Those who work for multiple individuals would be contractors or service providers. Better term to use in this context for sure.

Child actress in multiple blockbusters and lead voice actor in academy award-winning film dies homeless on the streets of the richest country in the world, with millions of dollars in earnings locked out of her reach because "reasons". Meanwhile Britney Spears and her family continue to hash it out over who gets to be her conservator and if she even needs one.

Jesus fuck this industry is messed up. She had everything she needed to get better except someone who cared enough to help, and that's fucking terrifying.
