Wow, the #nz #government initially #rejected a #pregnant #citizen #journalist whose #visa ran out in #holland - based on the grounds of the " #risk " the #covid #omicron #variant is supposed to represent: https://youtube.com/watch?v=h022-JZSslY She then had to seek #refuge in #afghanistan , who welcomed her openly. Only after some bad #pr #jacinda 's government reversed their decision, but not before #smearing her #personal #details to the #press ... Disgusting.
Wow, #ubereats are #charging people for #services they haven't received - and this #behaviour is based into their shitty #app https://old.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/c.. Literally #illegal - but the #bank and #visa #protect #uber in this case. If you try to #cancel the #transaction you'll get #blocked indefinitely. It's insane this is even possible.
Wow, apparently even #amazon are now annoyed at #visa 's #processing #fees #charged to #uk #customers https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-.. It is literally #extortion - there is zero excuse for it. They will be the #death of themselves at this rate.
Great, now #visa is " #investing " in #nft 's and pretending they are a great #investment - sounds like a #scam ... https://twitter.com/VisaNews/status/1429..

When I got my #visa #medical I remember panicking about being told to test #starved #blood #sugar (you test #insulin response at fixed intervals). Luckily I didn't have to. Again seeing the #gp recently I got #anxiety when the #doctor said I might need to make diet changes to address #muscle #cramps and introduce new foods. A friend recently made me #chickensoup that I couldn't eat encase they accidentally put #carbs in there.#blairewhite today covers #eugeniacooney 's #anorexia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=978pXOA-.. She is quite literally #dying - being #underweight will cause #organdamage when your body runs out of #nutrients ... I remember being in a similar situation myself years ago, where for the entire day I ate half a mini bread roll. Somebody's Mum who was anorexic themself saw this and said "fucking hell, is that all you're eating?". It really is a sickness of the mind.
I have a #theory that #coins are about to be taken out of circulation in favour of #microtransactions https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/0618.s.. I believe we will first see the banning of #crypto and then a government-backed version will emerge from the likes of #visa or #mastercard - after which will become #microtax on person to person transactions. Watch this space, I really believe it will happen.
The past few weeks on #keto have been interesting. I keep getting injuries in my legs, muscle spasms, cuts appear randomly and bruises are made easily and last long. I suspect I have some kind of #vitamin imbalance that I need to address. Ideally I need to get a #bloodtest - but I have to wait on the #visa process to be completed first. The last thing I need is to make an already complex situation even more complex.
Currently working on getting a #visa extension for my #phd - it's a super pain getting all the relevant paperwork together. It needs to come from a bunch of different sources and they don't all arrive when you need them. Understandably the visa process is quite strict too and they want everything evidenced to stop people gaming their system.
