  • I just replied this to the parent comment.

    Furthermore even if a card is skimmed these days, at least in the UK, it’s still unlikely transactions would be processed online.

    That’s because it’s become so commonplace now for transactions to pop-up in the banks app on the owners phone and they must confirm the transaction and / or receive a code via SMS. Some just use SMS as a means to confirm a transaction.

    I guess one vector for attack still remains and that is SIM swapping, but even that is more difficult these days due to widespread awareness from carriers.

  • Not in this way but I stopped taking my methylphenidate as I just couldn’t cope with the side effects.

    I had no appetite but was hungry yet it make me feel sick, I would sweat constantly and could never just wear a t shirt without a hoodie due to embarrassment and finally it was so much stress trying to source the medication.

    I feel like once I had a handle on life with medication and had gotten into a good routine and made positive changes that I am now in a much better place to handle life. I struggle with executive dysfunction still and I’m finding it hard to get motivated to do anything and work is killing me slowly.
