I'm so old I remember when disks were floppy, came in the 7" size, and were an awesome replacement for punch cards.

Still haven't beat Zork tho...

but please not that... and oh god, and definitely not that:

Dream a little dream with me...

Don't let me disturb you, I'm just gonna park these here:

In the US, so as of 1/20/25, sadly yes.

Sorry to hear that. Had amazing experience with mine - been using them for 20+ years - never paid a penny in fees, and they turned off OD protection for me when I opened the account. They even refund out of network ATM charges, and offer cashback rewards on my debit card.

You might have better luck with another union - there's usually more than one in the area depending on where you're located.

I'd come a running, just as fast as I can...

Yosemite

Grand Canyon

Yellowstone

Avenue of the Giants

Add to this list any national parks you were thinking about visiting. After this administration, they may not be around anymore.

Find yourself a credit union. It will save you hundreds of dollars in fees, and they won''t have bullshit rules like this.

And at least 3 out of 5 of those people live in California.

This is a perfect album cover for Marcy Playground

Done.

Thank you for the detail.

Some additional context from Snopes as to why this is so important in Oregon especially:

Conner O’Shea told journalists he started running when he saw mysterious, armed people wearing camouflage body armor jump out of an unmarked van as he was walking home from a protest in downtown Portland, Oregon, on July 15, 2020.

But his friend, Mark Pettibone, 29, was unable to escape the group of people in military fatigues that was later identified as a team of federal law enforcement agents operating under a plan by U.S. President Donald Trump to quell demonstrations against police brutality and racism in cities nationwide.

According to Pettibone's account of the incident — which was later publicized widely in news outlets ranging from The New York Times to Fox News — the officers tossed him into the van and took him to a federal courthouse. There, he said, they held him in a cell for about 90 minutes without explaining for what crimes he was suspected, nor identifying themselves as law enforcement personnel.

His alleged experience, as well as reports of viral videos purportedly depicting similar actions on behalf of federal agents in Portland (which we explain below), outraged critics of the Trump administration in July 2020 — including Oregon and Portland officials who said the federal officers and their militarized tactics were not welcome in Portland and violated the rights of citizens.

Personal reports from a friend of mine on the front lines in Portland corroborate this tactic - the group she was with was followed home by one of the vans described above.

Her mugshot (she had been in the system before) then appeared in a line-up banner of "Antifa Criminals" that started circulating around right-wing websites. As she's trans, she ended up having to move and go underground because of the death threats.

If you're in any way part of a population that Trump is targeting, be ready to defend yourself. Remember that once you're in the system, not only will the cops have your data, but it will be leaked to the alt-right thugs willing to do the dirty work the cops won't.

Incel in a nutshell:

Manchild in the brain!

Weird Al, take that one with my blessing and run for the hills... cause judging by the downvotes, the incels have my scent.

I will get high with you, and then turn you into the cops when you can't pay rent.
