I don't know. It just feels like something like this shouldn't be legal

Back in the 90s, they used to call us metrosexual or metro. Just because I didn't want to look or smell like I work in a coal mine.

But isn't trying to influence public policy illegal?

In some states you could be stalked by a cougar so you want your ears wide open.

This has to be illegal and if it isn't it should be.

They froze my entire account for 500usd. The rest of the 14500 was from other happy customers.

I use a regular bank for credit card services now and when there is something contested, it's only for the charged amount that is held. Not my entire account.

I used PayPal for their credit card service.

Most small and medium businesses don't have crypto. They use corporate P cards. So a business would call me if they launched something and the site tanked in sales. 2500 on their corporate card and their problem is fixed.

There is still a stigma for crypto.

I use my computer for gaming. Never a problem. Wine fails once in awhile. I end up having to dual boot and then spending all my time on the windows side. Then I wondered why I tried so hard to make fetch happen.

Story time: I have a side business selling web optimization services. UX, AB testing, etc.

I got busy and didn't take my money immediately after completing a few projects and one of my clients complained to Paypal about my service. My account was immediately locked and it took me at least 3 months to get access back to my account.

They basically had 15k of my money, interest free for them to play with even tho the contested amount was $500. I ended up just eating the 500 just to get access to my account, even tho the client is still using the improvements I made to their site.

So ya, fuck Paypal. Fffuuuucccckkk PayPal.
