Why make things more complicated than they need to be? All I wanted was something in writing—something official—that I could forward to the FTC so they could tell the bank that these kinds of demands simply aren't permissible...
Besides, I’ve had quite enough of Laura Chavez93... 😠 Every single time I step foot inside a bank, they try to push some unnecessary loan, a new certificate of deposit, service packages, online banking—it’s just endless nonsense... I only visit a branch when absolutely necessary, and even then, I make sure to avoid my own local branch if I can help it. 🙄

For about a month now, I’ve been getting calls from my bank 😠 first from this "personal banker"—someone I didn't even realize was assigned to my account 🤷—and then, a week later, her manager... they're insisting I come into a branch to fill out a ten-page form 😕 and sign it... apparently, it's all part of these anti-money laundering regulations 🙄
When I inquired about which specific details they needed—hoping to perhaps settle this over the phone—she told me I had to visit in person, unless she emailed the form to me, in which case they would send someone to my house to pick it up once it's completed 🤦

Sarah Morris57 said:I mean, seriously, can't the government and the bank just... I don't know, sync up? Like, shouldn't they be able to just cross-reference everything and see if I have my US citizenship, what my visa status is, and who I’m actually paying taxes to without all this extra back-and-forth?

And honestly—since both Sarah Morris57 and I use the exact same bank, and we actually took out a joint loan together to fix up our place—it’s not like they're in the dark! I already updated my last name to his through them, so they should totally be aware of our marital status and who's living under the same roof... right?
(Hmm, maybe that's why they didn't even bother asking him about it in the first place? 😵)

I made the same point—that if they truly need this data, they could simply cross-reference it with the local municipality, the IRS, or whoever else might have it. But she was adamant; I have to show up. I explained that my schedule doesn't permit it, given my workload, so she suggested I call ahead to schedule an appointment... since I supposedly have her direct number😵
In any case, after a week of silence, they called again just yesterday at 1:00 PM—well after standard banking hours—and it was my personal banker once more 🙂. I actually asked her if I might request that she stop calling, and if there were any official notices, she could just send them via USPS, and then I hung up.
So, where does this leave me? Can they actually shut down my account if I refuse to comply with this paperwork?

How can I get rid of those ads stuck at the top and on the right side when using Google Chrome with Adblock installed? 🤷
Once I run an update, they disappear—but I’d really prefer if this happened automatically...

I recall a time when Mladen Grdović performed out in Santa Monica—he showed up so incredibly intoxicated that he could barely remain upright,
so he just ended up lying right there on the floor, singing 🙂
. Word is the crowd was having an absolute blast, though I wasn't actually there to witness it myself...
🤷

All I Want for Christmas Is 🤦 🙂

Gary Diaz3 said:This constant quoting—it’s an entirely unnecessary detour... My previous posts aren't the subject here. But then again, that’s usually what happens when one runs out of actual arguments. Perhaps you’re just worried about your little chauvinistic corner being dismantled...

By all means, come join us over at MK and get some real education—then maybe, just maybe, you'll actually amount to something one day.👍

Gary Diaz3 said:Why is there such tolerance for those male-dominated threads where most of the posts are just chauvinistic and offensive toward women? In those spaces, claims that women are unintelligent or incompetent are treated as legitimate viewpoints...

I've spent years lurking on the UN forums—so I haven't personally witnessed any of that over there...🤷

The entire MK really ought to be abolished ☕

It seems rather hypocritical when someone complains about MK-related topics they aren't even participating in—btw—only to show up here later to whine about how "always problematic" MK is...🙄

Since my previous post has reached its limit, I will simply add this: if those who identify as gay believe their lifestyle is acceptable—and they are certainly granted the platform to express such views—
then it follows that we must also provide space for those who maintain that being gay is not okay. 🙂

fadedmason6 said:I saw on Facebook that Reddit is being branded as a homophobic gathering place for hicks...

I would appreciate it if someone could provide a link to the specific Facebook post where that was stated.

Is Laura Chavez93 available?

She might be—you should probably reach out to ZgSash...
