Yes, totally agreed that the people making decisions have beliefs. Hard disagree if you think the head of Visa is consulting his/her/their 'beliefs' when voting on multi-billion dollar decisions.

Sure you can, you can do whatever you want. My point is it will have zero effect on anything.

That was my point, that pressure is always external and they are not making moral decisions.

Executives, BoD and shareholders with controlling stakes make these calls.

Yeah with the external driver of the bottom line, no one is making these 'calls' for any sort of purpose other than the profit driver.

Avoid using credit cards as much as possible

Sure, and my paper straws are saving the environment too, right? Individual action changes nothing, changes in law/enforcement is the only proven path to change.

I'm not lame so I won't admit to anything. Anyone who asks me that (at a party) is an immediate red flag to me. "Hey we are all trying to unwind and have some fun, what could make that better? I KNOW! LET'S TALK ABOUT WORK!!!" ugh the worst people. Get me the fuck out of that party.

Any competition is good competiton with the strangle-hold current producers have...

Well if you want to peel the onion another layer, you should really be mad at laywers and our litigious society as a whole, payment processors don't have morality, nothing in capitalism does - they are responding, just like valve, to external pressures.

The kind of communities that hand out free sex, drugs, cash or scotch. I'm a simple man.

PNW in the states checking in. "Temperate mediterranean" is the described climate, living near a rain forest. I am ~40 years old, so I would survive ~30 years in the wilderness. I'd take a fishing pole over a rifle on my way out the door.

Added to the queue, thanks!

Hell yeah! Any Wiseau/Breen/YKKim screening is always an incredible time.

I am a so-bad-it-is-good movie enjoyer. If you want to view some genuinely entertaining schlock, I'd highly recommend:

  • Miami Connection
  • Samurai Cop
  • Killing: American Style
  • Space Mutiny
  • Money Plane
  • Paradise Motel
  • I am Here, Now (any Neil Breen tbh)
  • Timecop
