had a long discussion about the difficulties of testing credit card errors in production, namely that doing so would require me to have a credit card that is a valid number, absolutely won't get somebody $600 in actual charges if we use it to test, and will get errors from the payment processor if we try charging it, and my boss just... pulls out a comically large stack of credit cards from under his desk like 'oh you could've just asked if all you needed was a bad credit card. the only thing is that most of these have been reported stolen, is that an issue?'
this makes my life a lot easier, so I'm just gonna not ask questions.
you know, as someone who follows p good security practices and my partner loves security so much he doing a masters kinda for funsies/pure interest, I wish I did get involved in data breaches so much and be stuck with identity monitoring for forever, bc of things out of my hands like a major company phone provider or my employer (a major international company and with a 3rd party service they had some files on that **I** didn't use)
trying to apply for a credit card with guaranteed approval and finding out only after your application was approved that it's a secured card is Not Great
I purposefully did not select the cards labelled as secured cards because I don't have the money for a secured deposit. I picked- based on all information provided and how it was presented- what I thought was just a regular low-balance credit card designed for low-income or high-risk customers to be an alternative to secured cards for helping to rebuild credit
Hello! I need medication for life to prevent my lungs from collapsing, this implies permanent treatment with steroids, oxygen therapy, control of oxygen in the blood and antibiotics to prevent the development of bacteria in the lungs.
I'm afraid I have to insist on this because it may be the only way to get my treatment.
I need medication for life to keep my lungs from collapsing, this costs around $700 per month.

My credit card, whom I've taken so good care of and kept her safe and always gave her enrichment like Amazon Order and Takeout, is expiring in March. Upsetting. Terrible. She's remembered by so many sites. She's not even a tap card (ancient 2019 relic). Girl her last 4 numbers... Girl am I gonna lose her last 4 numbers.
What if they issue me a new card before I'm ready to move on? What if they don't even ask me "how are you doing?" :(. It's like I already lost her. Her favorite activity was "autopayment"...
