Paypal

[jabarno54]

How do I go about removing Paypal as a payment option. Because of their recent changes I'm going to close my account. I don't agree with their view on most things and I will not pay any $2500 fines imposed on me.

What makes you think you have a right to free speech with paypal?

...because you don't, you never did and you never will.

You don't have free speech here in these forums either, did you know that?

Uh, we are talking about paypal punishing people for exercising 1 amendment  rights ANYWHERE! Not just on a paypal platform. It could be a sign in your yard

---

No we are not. 

You do not have any 1st Amendment rights in dealing with paypal.

None whatsoever. That just simply isn't a thing.

@bashort : So how would that work exactly? Please be specific.

Hey @sapphire_studio 

I experienced the video as a kind of 'Carl Jung meets Monty Python' animation ... wherein various cultural images repeatedly metamorphized into their opposites.   [Please don't ask me what that 'means'.  It just came to me spontaneously.  LOL]

Following the video, I was left with the desire to eat (Ben & Jerry's) Chocolate Therapy ice cream and listen to The Bohemian Rhapsody ... while simultaneously watching swirling clouds and being lovingly mauled by chubby puppies.  😊

[FWIW:  I've found the best way to obtain insights into basic (philosophical) questions is to be willing to discover that I was completely wrong about something.]

And thanks for the definition of 'The Elite'!   🤔

I wonder if Elon would consider re acquiring PayPal, that would be great as far as I am concerned.

@bashort 
Have you been following how Elon has handled the acquisition of Twitter … especially the past 1-2 weeks?

I’m not seeing even a glimmer of competence in the actions he’s taken so far.  Many are predicting a rapid, downward spiral into bankruptcy.

That would be a improvement to what it was

Fun story: the first time I watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail, it was so absurd it made me dizzy! 😂

Now I love it, but as a first exposure to the MP universe, it was out there!

Niiiiice!!!!

 You are so very wise for always keeping an open mind. I try to hold on to all my beliefs very lightly and to know that absolutely nobody out there has all the answers.

 Now you're making me really consider cracking into some chocolate raspberry ice cream I have in the freezer.

I frequently play the ‘Black Knight duel’ segment from that movie.  It never stops being hilarious!

John Cleese happens to live 10 miles up the coast from me  … [in a much nicer neighborhood LOL.]  He’s a great supporter of our local zoo  … which has only ‘live parrots’ BTW … and I was thrilled to meet him there once.  😊

I once got quite a deep cut on my leg at work, and while everyone was fussing around me waiting for medical, I proclaimed "Tis but a scratch!" trying to keep the mood light because I needed to stay calm but no one got it.

I ended up with 15 stitches and being very disappointed in my colleagues 😄

Just watched a ‘newly released’ (from 2014) MP documentary on Netflix [Almost the Truth] that featured that dance.  🤪😆

I was surprised to hear JC talk about how he absolutely HATED the ‘Silly Walks’ skit … how it got zero laughs when first performed in front of a live audience … and how he had to be badgered into performing it again.
