I kinda have a feeling Microsoft won't allow cross-platform anymore and I think the MS-SE relationship is one that both parties are ready to end. I'm not a huge fan of MS's Xbox platforms due to the way they did Skyrim. There was a bit of talk that MS caused the 1 year DLC delay due to having their hands in Bethesda's pockets.
thats odd because they allowed destiny on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360
Yet not on PC yet.

Ugh, what a horrible way to start the morning:
I get up to go do laundry, but need to stop off at the bank to withdraw cash for the Laundromat. Not realizing it, I left my card in the machine. So I do my laundry, get home, check my wallet and pants pockets - no bank card.
Go back to the bank, check to see if someone's turned it in and no dice. But it ain't over: I get a new bank card, and cancel my old one, but the damage has been done - someone left with my card, and pulled 20 bucks 3x from the same 7-11 less than 5 minutes from the time I left the bank. So now I have to go through fraud prevention with bank.
But on the lighter side, I stopped off at a Mac's store which had recently brought back the slurpee ice cream thing known as a "screamer", where you fill a slurpee cup in layers of slurpee, and flavored ice cream. I chose root beer and the only acceptable flavor they had - tropical orange. Made a bad day, slightly better.

How can someone withdraw money with your bank card without knowing the pin? Unless they used the interac flash ***to do it.

So you lost 60$? If so I guess you can be glad cause it could have been worse.

Think of the bright side, bro went through the same thing recently but be glad they didn't use around 550$, that still isn't as much as it could've been.

I'm that person who trusts nobody and hides the ***outta keypads when punching in my pin, and makes sure I always have my card.
Especially since my line of credit is so huge, rather not have somebody jacking that ***.

Yeah, it was 60 bucks, and I've suffered worse before when someone stole my wallet last year - They don't need your pin number when your card has flash chip in it.
Last year around 2,000 dollars was stolen from my account, 500 maximum withdrawal, and another 1500 in flash chip purchases - fortunately, after much fighting with the fraud prevention department, they reversed the charges, and refunded me the money.
However, this time may be different because flash chip purchases can be hard to prove, and may not be worth the fraud department's time to try and recover 60 bucks.
Sure, i guess that's the cost of being careless, and i can live with the loss of 60 bucks, but that's 60 bucks i would have spent on my nephew's first birthday tomorrow. (It's actually today, but celebrating it tomorrow)

The whole point, i guess, is that regardless of the amount taken, it's just a really shitty morning.

Maybe to someone who's working. Due to medical problems, I've not worked, nor been able to work, in the last 4 years due to a *** up lower back and leg.
I basically live off of 750 bucks a month from income support.
So 60 bucks can be a little more substantial.

I just meant that in the ugliness of the event things went rather well in a sense, cause the loss is relatively small. Admittedly the customer service rep I dealt with at the bank branch was actually quite helpful, so i was grateful for that, and he was kind of amusing - had my ID in front of him trying to look up my bank account, and couldn't find it because he was spelling my name wrong. But i got a new card in less than 3 minutes, and he canceled my old one at the same time before any more damage could be done.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
