What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Okay, yesterday. I finish my ridiculous adventure game, and I'm feeling pretty good about it because there is a sequel also available through Amazon's game downloads so I reckon I will get it after I get back from picking up a few groceries at the small store. And just, thank goodness I didn't decide to go all the way into town for a major shopping trip, which is on my list of shit to do this week. Because...when I get to the checkout line my debit card is declined. THIS IS WEIRD, because I know for a fact I have more than enough money to cover it in my account. It gets weirder when I think it's a glitch and try and take money out of the ATM in the store to pay in cash instead and get back 'unauthorized usage'. So I call the bank from the store and it turns out that yesterday someone tried to make a 200 dollar purchase on my card. IN FLORIDA.

It turns out this has been happening a lot around here. There is some kind of security breach/scam going on in town that they haven't identified yet that is stealing people's card numbers, and, like...three people in the store were like 'oh yeah, that happened to me too' when I was explaining to the cashier what had happened. I am glad the bank went 'wtf, that ain't right' and immediately shut down my card instead of me being out 200 bucks. It just would have been nice if they'd, I dunno, notified me before I discovered it while trying to get food.

So anyway, they are sending me a new card, but now I can't access any of my money unless I drive into town and go to the bank in person.

Fuck.

Warnings question...what I've been doing is not putting anything on vids which I am reasonably certain don't contain warnable content and 'choose not to warn' on those that I'm reasonably certain do in LJ/Dreamwidth announcements and 'choose not to warn' on all vids posted in formal settings that have public warnings systems in place (AO3, Festivids).

Now I'm wondering if I shouldn't do the blanket 'choose not to warn' on lj/dreamwidth announcements as well. I go back and forth on this, because to me CNTW indicates the possibility of Bad Things in a vid and...like, I do not want to give that impression about cartoon dragons or MY BOYFRIEND doing ridiculous things and shit. But on the other hand, warnings in vids also encompass cutting style and possible related seizure/migraine triggers as well. For which I have the same anxiety induced problems identifying as content triggers.

I suppose the other possibility is to make some kind of sticky post of 'does not warn on any vids for either content or physical triggers' and just put a standard link to that on all vids posted on journal? What do y'all think?

ETA: have made sticky warnings policy which will be linked to in all vid entries going forward, and which I will gradually add to back vid posts over time. Will probably add extra 'choose not to warn' on potentially dodgy vids, but I'm not really reliable about this stuff so at the very least the policy link will just be included standard.

High altitude baking is TRICKY, you guys. I have pretty much been baking random shit since I moved in here with the super nifty kitchen and...I have yet to get it right. At this point I aim for 'weird but still tasty' and that is mostly what I achieve, but I look forward to the day I get the exact combination of adjustments correct and things come out of the oven being tasty and not weird. It's mostly a texture problem, so I don't even know.

This post brought to you by the tasty but weird peanut butter cookies that just came out of my oven.
