Things are getting nuts
Trepe @trepeserafin Follow back VISA CARD REPRESENTATIVE YELLED AT ME I called 650 432 3200 and simply asked about the content guideline. I got: "We've been getting thousands of calls!" "You talked to someone? WHO DID YOU CALL!" "OTHER PEOPLE ACCEPTED WHAT I SAID! SO WHY DON'T YOU!!!" @Visa is cooked LMAO VISA Mario_Tobias @mariotobias.bsky.social Follow Back I wish this was a joke but I got called a rapist today by a visa rep Think I just happen to be a call that pushed the women over Lodge 2 formal complaints after that and spun circles on the 2 calls and was about 25 minutes July 29, 2025 at 6:40 AM 1 like 1 ... Mario_Tobias@mariotobias.bsky.so... • 4m Oh and couldn't get a supervisor either they just hang up the phone ... Echo Sen / GingerSid @Lonogear Follow Did what I could today, did some work, called Visa. The man was understanding, put me on hold for 25 minutes. When back it was a new person who was very tired, I then repeated the whole story and I could HEAR the sigh of energy draining when they knew what it was leading to. 8:55 PM • 7/28/25 • 109K Views 29 t> 524 9.1K 435 -、グルーピー @dismalwether.bsky.social Had a similar issue on the phone yesterday with Visa in which they were hyper agressive and woman woman even tried suggesting that I must've been buying illegal content before launching into her "im going to disconnect the call now" script.

‼️Important Update‼️

There have been increasing reports of people receiving verbal abuse when calling in complaints

So we've put together steps + a script to follow if this happens!

Please be careful out there

↻💬♡ to help spread the info!
***Important Notice*** If you are calling Visa, there have been increasing reports of harassment from Visa representatives, including calling people rapists If this happens to you, please take the following actions: 1) Stay calm! Do NOT engage in harassment back 2) Request to speak to a supervisor 3) If they refuse or hung up on you, call back and *immediately* escalate to a supervisor 4) Put in a complaint of the behavior (script below) 5) Afterwards *or* if they refuse to take your complaint, submit a BBB complaint (script below) Call Center Abuse Complaint: Hello, I'm calling to submit an official complaint about abuse I received from a call center representative today. I called at (time) and spoke with (name, if you know it). Their behavior was beyond inappropriate. The representative said (provide details). Once finished submitting that complaint, tell them you would still like to file the initial complaint you called about. BBB script: I'm filing a complaint in regards to their conduct when I called in to inquire about the situation between them and several gaming platforms. Upon mentioning the nature of my call the representative on the phone was exceptionally rude to me. They (insert details here). This sort of behavior is unprofessional and unacceptable. This should not be how they treat their customers. BBB script pt 2 (what you're looking for them to do in response): I would like a formal apology, my initial complaint to be processed, and the company to re-train their call center staff to prevent such occurrences in the future.

Japan is in no way perfect, it has many flaws, but this sort of thing is fucking phenomenal and I so desperately wish we had an approximate of it becuase fuck man it sucks that so much of our lives get dictated by corporate morality
yandere-angela i think it's important to acknowledge that the reason why mastercard/visa has such a stranglehold on american society is because cash is not the main form of payment in the usa. the predominance of card has effectively privatized currency in japan, one of the reasons why dlsite and other similar websites are able to just remove visa as a payment option instead of changing any of their merchandise (aside from the fact that visa doesn't have a monopoly here) is because cash payments for online transactions remain an option. even if you don't have a jcb credit card or paypay or whatever, you can still pay for your online purchases using cash by taking your barcode to a convenience store, and you can do this for essentially every online vendor, meaning credit card companies can't just impose their moral judgments on your purchases with much repercussion butch-snorlax How does that barcode system work? I've never heard of something like that. yandere-angela 1. you add whatever porn games or movies or books you want to your cart and go to checkout 2. you select cash payment at conbini as your payment method 3. youre emailed a barcode that you take to the conbini 4. you show it to the cashier, they scan it, and you pay what you owe. note that the cashier does not see what youre buying and the transaction is complete

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's intentional. They're calling it "flooding the zone." The intent is to overwhelm and exhaust us so we can not effectively resist. Something simple you can do right now now is to make sure to take breaks and rest.

My wrist is very worn, i’m adjusting to new medication, and recovering from being poisoned.

Art takes more energy from me now more than ever, so anything helps me not have to take on more. I genuinely can’t in good conscience.
