We would definitely pronounce our as “are” in some cases., usually when referring to a person. “Our kid” or “Our Jack” would have been pronounced “are”.

Once they pay that fine, Russia will be sorted.

Yes.

Unfortunately, those solutions aren’t acceptable because we have to think about the shareholders and the politicians who like the lobbying money.

At this point climate scientists are like the boy who cried wolf except there’s a huge fucking wolf that everyone can see but nobody wants to admit to in case they are asked to pay to find a solution.

It is arbitrary, yes. Part of the reason for daylight savings time was simply to match most people’s waking hours to a standard time throughout the year.

You can make the time that you have more useful though.

There are activities that you can do in the dark and some that you can’t do in the dark. I imagine that they wanted to sleep in late which was cutting into hunting time so they changed the time zone so that it was dark while they were sleeping and light a bit later to allow for more hunting.

It’s why we have daylight saving time.

It shocked me decades ago when I joined Facebook and they suggested friends that I thought that I had zero connection to on the internet.

e.g. my next door neighbour even though I didn’t put my address in and only knew them for a quick chat over the fence.

Now they’ll have so much info about people who’ve never dealt with them due to them being able to slurp up everyone’s contacts with WhatsApp (I have no idea how they can do that in a GDPR compliant way).

I bet that the EU wishes that they’d added clauses to allow members to be booted out.

I tend to buy digital now but the main reason why I bought physical was because I didn’t want to keep them. I very rarely go back to a game once I’ve done with it so I would trade it in or sell it.

I wasn’t correcting you. They are registered in the EU but not in the UK as far as I can tell and these complaints are from people in the UK. Maybe they have been approved but not completed the process yet.

Here is their page on the FCA https://register.fca.org.uk/s/firm?id=001b000002zyAwNAAU and it says under activities and services that they are registered for payment services and e-money but it doesn’t say that they do banking. It also says that they are not covered by the financial services compensation scheme.

If you look at the page for Barclays Bank (https://register.fca.org.uk/s/firm?id=001b000003WgItdAAF) you can see that it says that they do banking and are covered by the scheme.

But whether they are a bank or not, they definitely failed in their fraud prevention duties when they failed to detect and block 137 transactions to three new contacts in an hour.

They aren’t a bank in the UK.

This article from about a week ago says that another guy was scammed and the scammers set up three new payees and made 137 payments totalling £165,000 within an hour to those payees. That definitely looks suspicious and should have been blocked.

Also, that victim tried to contact Revolut but they don’t have a fraud phone line and the only way to contact them is by sending messages from within the app and it took nearly 25 minutes for him to get the account frozen. That simply isn’t good enough.

Finally, that article says that Revolut has more reports of fraud against them than any other bank having 25% more than the next highest bank.

Because people are stupid and gullible and need protecting.

Revolut should be watching for suspicious transactions and blocking them like proper banks are required to do.
