Maybe worth you having a chat with the FetLife team; I know they've have payment processing issues in the past! They appear to take cards and ACH now, so maybe they've found a processor who stands up...

I've found a new processor I quite like. They're a little bit more expensive, but they credit my account faster and so far they've been awesome to work with.

I'm surprised medical (and now recreational) marijuana sales outlets aren't on that Wiki list (though Drug Paraphernalia and Pharmaceutical Sales are). They have pretty much the same problem.

Perhaps with the Feds in no way interested in backing down from pot prohibition and thus ending the "war" on drugs, no secretive pressure program need apply.

Oh, the feds have gone after the cannabis industry, too.

Wtf is it the 1950s? Maybe we need a department of mental hygeine like the UK has. To make sure none of us are thinking dirty thoughts. How did that program even...start.

The world needs more sex and less violence. Sadly, the US still makes sex an R-rated thing at best, and violence a PG thing. I'm not even talking about movies here, but in regards to political/social discourse and even, to some extent, life in general.

As someone who occasionally buys things from outside the US, I've had one recent issue where a site that I've bought from before can no longer take credit cards from US banks. I wonder if that's related.
