  • First a $40 fee just to swipe plastic is stupid, even VISA don’t charge anywhere near that much for the card machine operator. Sorry you have to deal with that.

    Also does the US not have smartphone banking apps? Do you have to pay fees for a bank transfer? Is it the landlord setting those fees? I’m confused how a free at point of use system is getting slapped with a fee.

    Why does everyone in the US have to write cheques to eachother, wasting everyone’s time going in person to the bank to cash them in? Even my employer just does a bank transfer to pay me my income.






  • Again I agree, and I don’t think NATO should withhold or restrict aid and training if Ukraine don’t issue a statement.

    And I agree that looking back over targets hit between Ukraine and Russia it is clear as day that Ukraine IS holding to the high standard in place by NATO members and is targeting only military targets.

    The issue is that in the political sphere Russia and their useful idiots and apologists only need one example to try and smear the story into false “well both sides did it” narrative which you then have to pull out the long list and start going through it i.e. it takes more time to disprove a lie than to say it.

    If, as it is most likely the case, Ukraine accidentally hit a random tower block then said “whoops, missed the target there, but shit happens in war, it was a guidance failure / got shot down by air defence and crashed / whatever” it provides a quick response to the story the Kremlin will try and spin out of it add to the list of examples you gave how Ukraine treats civilians vastly better than Russia.

    I don’t see the downside of doing this. The Kremlin wouldn’t know how to respond.
