Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Idk about yall but it was easy for me to cancel. I just had to call the gym and they told me to call corporate and I got the run around so I just called the bank and reported my card lost and just like that gym membership cancelled
Gyms typically want your checking information, rather than your card to avoid exactly that.
So you just have to go to the counter and tell them to remove your payment information and when they don't, (they'll say they have but you'll magically get another change months later) then report them to your bank for fraud.
They'll get a hold of you real fuckin fast.
When they take your checking account details they're required by law to remove them from your system when you ask.
What the fuck is a checking account
A bank account that you use to pay for stuff, the one that your card is linked to, as opposed to a savings or an investment account.
What third world country do you live in where yall don’t have banks?
I live in a country that hasn't used cheques in a couple of decades. Being reminded of their existence and spelling it "check" was beyond my aging 40 year old brain.
Do you not have bank accounts in your country?
We call them current accounts, apparently.
That's interesting. Never heard of that term. Guess we both learned something today!
It's pretty cool how there's so many people from around the world here, you can learn a lot that you'd never come across otherwise.
