I did get it right my dude, you didn’t read past the title. I didn’t say it was IN the title. Please get some sleep.

Tell me you didn’t read past the title without telling me you didn’t read past the title

That’s an insult to five-year-olds.

May she trip on a Lego and send her child to a less trashy parent

It is a mystery/puzzle/roguelike where you have to figure out what to do, how to do it, and even how the game works. You get a broad goal at the beginning, but you have to experiment, learn, and solve puzzles to progress. It basically requires that you take notes. It’s brilliant

We do!!! Blue Prince is fantastic

It tests your ability to remember and navigate routes, in an environment that’s explicitly non-Euclidean. And you have to think out of the box sometimes to solve things.

…damn I need to play again. I think it’s been long enough now.

It’s SO GOOD. If you’re reading this and you like puzzle/mystery games, play it now, play it blind, and have a pad and paper handy.

Needs to drop another 95% or so

Oh FUCK right off you insufferable cunts. They took a wrong turn. Make them do a U and go home.

Seriously. “What? This is a border? I did not intend to cross the border, please let me turn around” should be the entirety of this situation

what a weird, out-of-pocket thing to say

Be LOUD. Get in touch. Make it unambiguously clear that we need to pivot radically left.

You could’ve chosen not to victim blame, but yet you did it anyway.

All banks in the US have similar authority, please see my lengthy post under the CFPB link elsewhere in the thread if you are actually here to discuss rather than sling cheap insults

TL;DR:

• If it’s an ATM or one-time debit card transaction, you have to opt-in for them to charge you a fee
• If you didn’t opt-in, they are still allowed to cover the overdraft if they want to by taking from other accounts you have with them, they just can’t charge you an extra fee for doing so.
• If the overdraft is due to a preauthorized/recurring debit card transaction, a check, ACH, or other transaction not covered by 17(b)(1), your consent doesn’t matter, they get to charge you a fee.

Please look at the wording of 17(b)(1), emphasis mine:

Except as provided under paragraph © of this section, a financial institution holding a consumer’s account shall not assess a fee or charge on a consumer’s account for paying an ATM or one-time debit card transaction pursuant to the institution’s overdraft service, unless the institution:

The opt-in requirement is ONLY for ATM and one-time debit card transactions. For a preauthorized or recurring transaction like dinckelman was discussing, that does not apply.

Also some relevant sections of the official interpretation of 17(b):

2. No affirmative consent. A financial institution may pay overdrafts for ATM and one-time debit card transactions even if a consumer has not affirmatively consented or opted in to the institution’s overdraft service. If the institution pays such an overdraft without the consumer’s affirmative consent, however, it may not impose a fee or charge for doing so. These provisions do not limit the institution’s ability to debit the consumer’s account for the amount overdrawn if the institution is permitted to do so under applicable law.

8. Outstanding Negative Balance. If a fee or charge is based on the amount of the outstanding negative balance, an institution is prohibited from assessing any such fee if the negative balance is solely attributable to an ATM or one-time debit card transaction, unless the consumer has opted into the institution’s overdraft service for ATM or one-time debit card transactions. However, the rule does not prohibit an institution from assessing such a fee if the negative balance is attributable in whole or in part to a check, ACH, or other type of transaction not subject to the prohibition on assessing overdraft fees in § 1005.17(b)(1).

Edit: Opt-in requirement is specifically only for ATM transactions and one-time debit card transactions. It would not apply to a monthly transaction as described above. Read my post further down for full details.

That is not necessarily true. I opened a savings account recently and their terms were basically “We normally reject transactions that would cause an overdraft but we may choose not to at our sole discretion and if we do pay it you will owe us”
