From a quick survey of friends and family, it appears most Europeans would rather we stop trading with the UK entirely than this non-sense.

I agree, this BfB proposal isn’t anywhere even in the vicinity of realism.

Thanks for another excellent thread!

You can just run `node file.ts` without `--experimental-strip-types` flag.

I’d suggest reflecting upon the ludicrous nature of your earlier comment and then deleting it. It’s Ok, nobody thinks and opinion from you is worth screenshotting.

I switched away from Revolut to HSBC Global Money. It does pretty much everything Revolut does in terms of currency. Add in something like Trading212 and Revolut doesn’t offer anything of value.
Given the level of service they provide – low and horrifically bad – I don’t see why they’re even viable.

Which already cannot happen. Not even in the case in Scotland that made the media did that actually happen.

So you’re really just spouting scare stories fabricated by the bigot-media.

This motion before the UK House of Commons is really not acceptable.

Firstly, let's reiterate somethings:

Schengen is a core part of European unity;
Having a common visa waiver is how we keep our internal borders open
90/180 is designed to prevent overstay and stop illegal working.

I’d say there are far to few trans people – and they have far to many issues of their own to deal with – as for there to be a REAL conflict with women’s rights.

There is a PERCEIVED conflict started and maintained by bigots; that is true.

Literally the only people that think there’s a trans-issue to be discussed are the hateful right wing bigots that think Farage is honest, Trump is the saviour and Pol Pot was just a great asian chef.

I wonder not just why people turn hateful, but more why anyone thinks there even IS a β€œtrans issue”.

Trans people are a tiny fraction of the population that are have so many issues to deal with themselves that they literally don’t have the energy to bother anyone else.

The rational response is NOT blaming itch, but rather to avoid Visa/Mastercard whenever possible.

That should – if at anything – be the domain of legislatures.

Leaving mores to private businesses didn’t work for AfricanAmericans, LGBTQ+ or anyone else ever.

On the practical side I’m in total agreement.
On the ideological however I find it utterly obnoxious that privat companies get to adjudicate social mores.

If they want to have the debate what should be banned or not, that’s fine. But it should happen in congress/parliament/legislature NOT in terms-of-service.

We should not allow private companies to be the judge/enforcer of social mores. That should be the exclusive right of the legislature.

Payment processors should be in the business of processing payments, not in the business of forcing overly puritan values on the public.

The problem I see is the proliferation of tools that try to do everything in a unified environment. And in the end these tools sort of work but do nothing well.
