  • I have this card.

    I’m an immigrant to the US by way of marriage. When I moved here we opened an account at chase where my now wife banks - a joint for us both and one for me.

    When faced with having three near identical blue cards I asked if there was any option other than blue

    Imagine my face when I heard possibly the most American phrase I’ve ever heard: “You can have the brand colors, or Disney”

    I mean the other names make sense with additional context

    Both Tit- and Cock- as prefixes used to mean small (no laughing in the back, please)

    And Hoary means grey-haired or old-looking

    edit as I had to look this one up: “Booby” is an ellision of “Bobo” - as in “No seas tan bobo” (Spanish) - meaning “silly, naive, dumb…” as they tend to be quite tame birds

    technically signing up for any service gets you put on a list, and there are very few lists anyone has - including handwritten ones in your kitchen drawer - that the government/police couldn’t access if they really wanted to.

    Privacy, safety, security are conventions and habits of politeness mostly.

    Really the main protection is that there are much bigger fish to fry than people reading internet posts about politics, and even within anarcho-social circles, there are bigger players with more concerning activities than you.
