obviously there's a discussion to be had about the exploitation of locals and the commodification of mountaineering but there's no use in denying that climbing to the literal top of the world is an impressive feat

public static void @staticvoidmain.bsky.social · 1d

and if they're supposed to be embarrassed because they're not as good at climbing mountains as sherpas are then shouldn't you who has never climbed anything in your entire life be even more embarrassed?

keep seeing people say that climbing everest is embarrassing because they'll never be as good at climbing it as the sherpas but the logic just isn't there for me

obviously an amateur climber will never be as good at climbing mountains than someone who literally does it for a living

Hello everyone.

Antifa is not a real organization.

Proud Boys are.

Oath Keepers are.

Patriot Front is.

KKK is.

Heritage Foundation is.

Antifa is not.

Thanks for your attention.

Quick reminder that Christopher Columbus was considered a vile, repulsive, evil man even in his own time. His actions as governor of Spain's New World colonies landed him in prison for his cruelty and violence.

the smashing pumpkins have re-released machina for the 25th anniversary as the sprawling epic that they envisioned it as before the label made them cut it down to a single compact disc but the only way to listen to it is to pay over three hundred quid to buy the octuple vinyl box set

there are literally thousands of games on ps5

the era of console exclusives has come to an end and that's a good thing

"we don't need new consoles"

then don't buy a new console

there's going to be new games for ps5 and even ps4 for years to come and the existence of the ps6 isn't taking away anything from anyone

Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.

But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

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

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.
