S.401 - Fair Access to Banking Act

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.

Other than the point on #778, with fiat at the VERY least your money has some form of secured value. 100 USD is not gonna equal 1 RMB anytime soon. With crypto you don't. That 1M per 1 coin can become under 5 cents worth of USD in a day.

Not really. Only the amount the government gives it. If the Fed goes apeshit too much even the dollar turns into utter garbage overnight.

The reason it's so prevalent in scams is the nonrepudiability. With fiat other than paper cash, there's almost always a mechanism of reversing fraudulent transactions. With crypto there isn't. Hence, people who want to receive transactions profiting from frauds love it, and the suckers can't get it back.

Crypto has value precisely because once you receive it, you have it. That doesn't mean you're guaranteed any price above market value, which also makes it good for pump and dump.

The most broadly adopted coins like BTC are more or less immune to this in the long term. The short term may be more cruel.

yes null, women do not lead things. they also do not use VPNs or Tor or crypto or torrents or start high risk businesses or work in dangerous environments or anything else that is in the domain of men. women weren't allowed to sign contracts 100 years ago or sign up for their own credit cards until 50 years ago because everyone knew it's very, very easy for other people to strongarm women into doing whatever they want and force them to make decisions under duress which is something bucket head Liz Fong-Jones has demonstrated multiple times

what women excel at is whining. writing letters. making phone calls. putting up fliers. sending out emails. shaming other people into doing what they want. that's why 75% of NGO workers are female and 42% of NGO boards are led by women (A). while men are busy working and married women are busy taking care of their families, overeducated single women whine at men who actually run things until they get what they want

and according to the grapevine (A), one way Collective Shout was able to get payment processors to do what they wanted was to bombard them with phone calls. it seems like a good call to action is to bombard them with phone calls back about censorship. i don't know if 1,000 gooners are going to get I Drugged My College-Aged Anime Sister And Anally Violated Her back on the Steam market but it's a good litmus test for being able to do some kind of pushback against payment processors

Same thing as steam removing smut, all of the porn games have been removed from itch.io.
Even things you paid for are straight up gone, you cannot redownload it.
(I don't pay for porn but people made threads about it on /v/, and its not like /v/ to make shit up to complain about.)

This is now officially Gooner Gate.

Hitting itch.io is a pearl harbor tier strike on porn games.

Yes, Josh, I must protect the women who are trying to censor me here. Josh, men don't give a fuck about what other people are doing. You know, the most nosy fuckers I've ever met were always women. Remove woman's ability to have any say in society and all of these problems would go away. And now I'm not a women hating insell. Those people are sad and pathetic and should literally kill themselves alongside the femme cells.

The simple fact of the matter is women are very easy to manipulate with appeals to emotion and must think of the exploited sex something.

don't even know why termina got the axe
ever since being indoctrinated by discord trannies, miro's only been willing to show dicks and have ghosts crawl up your ass or some weird lamp-dicked genie fist you with his many hands, presumably to death

the worst thing about what i just posted is that it's probably not the worst game on that

Nobody knows in practice. That is the government after all and I wasn't expecting a Trump-level meltdown. I'm expecting them being formal about it like Obama or Harris and the Payment processors agreed to because they cannot refuse commonwealth government orders. This isn't Zoe Quinn, it's gooners vs commonwealths.
 
What was the most inoffensive victims of this payment processor squeeze?

I am trying to ai prompt my way into easy to send Q&A's to make this as digestible as possible for my normie friends, and this thread's infighting is actually a really good training target for potential objections, the most obvious being the usual linguistic treadmill of "porn" being turned into "hypnosis rape incest porn etc." I figure the best way of getting ahead of the curve is by gathering counter examples.

I also want to collect some victims across both sides of the aisle, so any LGBT games or right-wing games as examples I appreciate.

There is basically no reason we can't set aside our differences and fight wall street together. Even if I know the "other side" wouldn't do the same for me, the more allies the better, so it's not worth giving up.

This post says that the Wayback archives have been pulled. This claim is TRUE. Internet Archive has pulled the specific archives, but allows archives of the "Not found" page:

Those Wayback links now redirect to a "Not found" archive instead of the article as they originally did. RIP to the quadruple archive.

Yeah, sorry, but you can't have a little censorship as a treat. It never stops with just the things you personally find distasteful. Once certain fictional themes have been criminalized on the basis that they're offensive, there's no grounds to argue that any and all dark subject matter shouldn't be sanitized from media. And that is just what moralists will push for.

So I hope a large enough chunk of the population will finally understand this and we can undo some of the damage done here.
