r/UKPersonalFinance 3 hr. ago Previous-Camera1641 I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice? Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off. However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with: Wise Revolut Monzo Monese Chase Starling Nationwide Halifax Barclays Lloyds RBS It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?" "It's coming from games I sell on Steam." "Can we see the store page?" "Sure." "I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time." It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content. What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

Help Mohamed Get His Family to Safety Hello, this is Meave Gallagher, the sponsor of this fundraising campaign for our dear friend, Mohamed Ahmed, the displaced Palestinian farmer growing a small farm in Mawasi, Khan Yunis. His original g...

There is a cease fire in Gaza but still no jobs and my friend and brother Mohamed's land lies in the security buffer zone. He cannot go home.
I worry what will become of him and his family as the world looks elsewhere. If you have a couple dollars to share, I would be grateful.

I’m still standing on my tired feet, with a wounded heart, relying on your donations. I have no work, no home, and my five children are in need now. Please, don’t let my heart die in pain.
Don't let my heart break in front of my children

Oops alt text is Christine Flowers being genocidally racist about indigenous people

My pfp is from a WWII poster warning soldiers of the dangers of loose women and venereal disease.

So the joke was kind of on her in multiple ways

Christine used to be a columnist with the Inquirer. She was fired for accusing me of sending Antifa squads to chase her around the suburbs, then threatening to use her column space to write about me as revenge.

She also for some reason got drunk, found a beret, and took selfies dressed as my pfp

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

YouTube video by LastWeekTonight Bari Weiss: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

Huh, it’s by the same reporter who was skewered by John Oliver last night (as part of a longer feature on FP)

Oh my god I only just noticed the misspelled name in the headline...

really impressed at how, with one authoritarian move, the pentagon guaranteed that all future coverage will come from the perspective of leakers, whistleblowers, outside researchers and anonymous sources

entirely depriving them of their own ability to shape coverage

I understand the sentiment of "we need to find some way to not all see each other mortal enemies" but it REALLY REALLY needs to be made expressly clear that one side wants to live and be happy and the other side is "that's a line too far and you must suffer and die" and you can't Kumbaya that.

Hello, it is me, Technology Broseph. I will now dictate what the future of humanity looks like. My qualifications are that I once tripped balls with a billionaire who then funded my abstract eternal life research venture

Anyway, first thing we gotta do is install cameras in everyone's assholes

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

*ok, he did land in San Juan Bautista, which would eventually become Puerto Rico, on his second voyage.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Some books that get banned may see bumps in sales, yes

But the majority? This is what happens to them. Especially when books are being banned by the thousands

This week’s main story is about Paramount’s decision to name Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief of CBS News, the future of U.S. journalism, and why we think she shouldn’t describe her endeavors as “punk.” Bari, look at us: You are not punk. Joe Strummer would’ve hated your fancy Substack, Bari!

In the other report, the driver recalled observing this and moving to secure the vehicle before also getting out: “I then placed the ambulance into park, took my foot off the brake, undid my seat belt and opened the driver’s side door. I looked up and suddenly the entire group of officers…were crowded around the open car door, some of them leaning forward towards me, inches from my face.” An agent, the driver recalled, “pointed his finger at me in a threatening manner and began viciously yelling in my face, stating, ‘DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU, I WILL ARREST YOU RIGHT NOW.’” According to the driver’s report, the crew member who had been in the rear of the ambulance told the agent that the vehicle rolled forward when the driver put it in park, and that no one was trying to hit him. To this, the report recounts, another agent replied that this was not the first time this had happened.

The bluest-haired SJW could never match this energy, y'all have been projecting this entire time

Imagine being such a high-strung weak-kneed coward that an ambulance being put into park sends you into a frothing murderous rage, where are they even finding these freakshows

I'm seeing friends go back in the closet and my heart hurts for them. They shouldn't need to do this. This is so awful. Queer and trans people are always made to choose between safety and freedom. We deserve both, but many of us get neither. I ache for my people.

Omg

"Wind gusts hit 107 mph in Kusilvak according to the National Weather Service.

These winds also drove dangerous storm surge, pushing feet of water onto land, which triggered major flooding in coastal areas. Water levels in Kipnuk soared to 14.5 feet Sunday"

in terms that i think literally any american should be able to grasp (movies!): every one of the friendly disinterested guys picking up litter or helping with groceries is LITERALLY AN AGENT who could turn on you or your kids at any moment & they don’t need a reason because anything is a reason.

this is why i’m irritated by “they can’t refuse to follow orders, but they don’t want to be there & some of them are just picking up litter & helping with groceries & not working” while meanwhile whole kinds of people straight up are like “i am scared to go outside because i might get disappeared.”

the goal is to see them as silly or benign or blending into the scenery. for most liberals, the expectation is that you'll tolerate their presence while they terrorize people who don't look like you

images of National Guard units just standing around w captions like "lol pointless" imo miss the mark on what the troop deployments are intended to do; the goal is for troops to terrorize homeless or protect ICE while they terrorize immigrants, if they're doing nothing, that's still projecting force

Between this, the resegregation of the military, and the retooling of the Department of Justice to focus on (fake) discrimination against white Christians, and eviscerating Civil Rights Act enforcement, they have nearly erased the structural legacy of the Civil Rights Movement.

Matt kindly links to my thoughts as well as those of others in his piece.

Federal immigration operations target San Diego neighborhoods, sparking community resistance Federal immigration agents conducted operations in Logan Heights and Southeast San Diego on Friday, with community members capturing footage of the enforcement actions.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”
