I'm gonna go ahead and assume that there's no second date. "Flexing on" your date is already a red flag, but thinking that your choice of form of payment does that is a double red flag; double it again for it being a culture war virtue signal to support musk of all people.

Oh yeah, and I guess double it again because of the publicly displayed name "pissvortex" being on the thing meant to flex on the date.

Is this a real thing?

This is somehow way too funny to me. The image of the waitress straight up laughing at him as his elon card declines in front of his very unimpressed date is just, perfect.

Honestly, I can't tell if this is a real story or not.

Lmao Austin, you fool.

I don't see a wiki article on "x money" or "x card"

Edit: found it

X Money
In January 2025, X announced plans to introduce an "X Money Account" feature in 2025.[193][194] The product would be a digital wallet and enable X users to move funds between traditional bank accounts and their digital wallet and make instant peer-to-peer payments.[195] Visa was announced as partnering with X on the project and, at least initially, cryptocurrencies would not be supported.[196] X Money launched in July 2026.[197]

Honestly, I wouldn't even be surprised if his display name has a racist context.

I assumed it had something to do with a pee fetish.

No the display name. It's ape attack survivor

Unfortunately yes it is: X Money

a culture war virtue signal

Vice signal??? That probably needs to be a word at this point.

Such everything app

Deposit accounts are held at Cross River Bank, Member FDIC, and insured up to $250,000. Deposits are automatically enrolled in a cash sweep program, which provides up to $10M of aggregate FDIC pass-through deposit insurance coverage, across participating FDIC-insured network banks, subject to limits.

So they are trying to do a FinTech bank, meaning a small bank that the company partners with takes in the risk to hold your money. But in order to save money, certain features are usually not available that would be in a traditional bank.

X Payments LLC is not an FDIC-insured bank. Deposit insurance only covers the failure of an insured bank.

He's pulling a Paypal. Your money isn't directly FDIC insured when it's processed through X.

So yeah...use this at your own risk.

At least he's upfront about his fetishes, I guess.

America lives in such a goddamn dumb timeline. I swear it's a lawless wasteland at this point and everything is a grift.

The piss vortex or the card?

Yeah looks like it's trying to be the weibo of the west.

lol both, I guess?

Who gives cards to servers anymore? They bring the machine and you do it.

A lot of place near me still take your card to a process station.

Only for the super-rich. Normal peasants are subject not only to laws, but also violations of their rights by the super-rich.

Marry that guy. Don't let him go. /s

Waitresses will literally never ask what a card is, either. They’d just try it.

It’s sweet that people think waitresses care this much and would spend this much time laughing at a card.

I forgot how much Canada likes interac.

how'd you come up with that username?

Pissvortex: oh, funny story about that. My buddies and I were all joking around when I suddenly got the perfect idea: take away all the brown people in a piss tornado

it's not a "flex".. it's a warning sign for your date.

I don't think it's just Canada. It's mostly just the US that still thinks this is acceptable

Read at your own risk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piss_vortex

I’ve been calling it the for a couple years now.

Remember that they revel in the evil they bring into the world.

No, the display name.
