No matter what is going on in your life, no matter how much is going wrong, trust the process. Things will hurt, things will fall through, things will be stressful.
One thing you have to remember is stress is only temporary. Everything will get better and will be okay. You’re strong, you’re amazing, you’re loved.
Have a good day!
@Rec_A_Dork Just because the stock for Nvidia crashed doesn’t mean the value of the cards will go down. Prices for those cards are valued by scarcity, not stock/company value. Don’t be expect Nvidia GPUs to be cheaper any time soon.

My music streaming service is coming along nicely.
Just implemented a feature that uses AI to suggest/recommend music to the user based on their library and what they listen to.
Many cool features to come.
So some of y’all may be seeing notifications about Twitter sending you money through X Money. Personally, Twitter sent me $15, labeled “Welcome Gift,” BEFORE I had an X Money account.
I tapped the notification and was prompted to sign up. During sign-up, it asked for my legal name, Social Security information, and address. After I finished opening the account, the $15 was there and available.
This appears to be an incentive to get people to open an X Money account. The money was real in my case, but I wanted to understand the account and the attached conditions, so I looked more closely.
The bank behind the stored value account is Cross River Bank, an FDIC member. X Payments provides access through X; it isn’t itself an FDIC-insured bank.
After reading the FAQ and terms, here’s what stood out:
• Certain policy suspensions can also cut off Money access, with funds returned by mailed check. The FAQ specifically names Child Safety, Violent and Hateful Entities, and X Money Acceptable Use violations. It says other Twitter suspensions don’t interrupt access to Money.
• FDIC insurance protects eligible deposits against an insured bank failing, subject to coverage rules and limits. It doesn’t cover scams or guarantee uninterrupted access.
• Twitter Payments’ terms attempt to cap its own liability at $100, with exceptions required by law. That is separate from FDIC insurance, and it does NOT mean your insured deposits are limited to $100.
• Completed person-to-person payments generally can’t be canceled. Double-check who you’re paying.
• You’re also agreeing to privacy terms covering how your personal and financial information is collected, used, and shared. Read those alongside the banking terms.
Please watch out for phishing. If you want to check whether you received anything, open the official X app yourself and navigate to your notifications. Don’t start from a link in an unexpected email, text, or DM asking you to “claim” funds or enter your SSN.
Read the terms, understand the account, and decide whether it works for you. 💙
