My bank just froze my account to perform a fraud check because they're afraid the credit to my account from a refund after I changed card details may be fraudulent. Is it hard to write an exception to their system saying "if it's all refunds, it's probably legit" or are they being loving morons? Either way I'm sure my landlady will be delighted at rent being late.

Refunds are often used in money laundering schemes - if the refund has come from an account that you have not paid stuff to (fairly common, unfortunately) and is "unusually large" (both of those words being very much up for definition of course) then yes, it does count as suspicious activity. If the freeze causes you any financial hardship then you should be able to get that refunded by the bank, within reason.

I'm pretty pissed at how ridiculous they are. They've never frozen my accounts when I suddenly wake up in a different country and start spending there, but god forbid an obvious refund happens (this is not the first time.)

There's nothing stopping you from going out and catching your fish yourself, what you pay for is the convenience of someone else doing it for you. Fishing is a pretty difficult and dangerous job, I wouldn't want to do it.

Right, but until then it literally is a free-for-all, what with it being everybodies (theoretically). It just so happens they have a boat, the means to catch them, and are doing so. I guess if I really wanted to, I could get a boat and go out and catch my own fish and what have you, as could everyone, but we've got people who are doing that for us, because we actually want to eat fish, and most of us really don't want to go on a fishing boat to catch it ourselves.

People just need to man up and get used to eating tilapia and other easily farmed fish than eating your plague ridden cod and haddock. Seriously, the amount of parasites that feed on (and in) cod and haddock are disgusting. But yeah overfishing sucks but thanks to capitalism it is never going to go away until the oceans are basically a giant cesspool where companies can easily dump their chemical waste.

I'm not sure the point you're trying to make here but I'd broadly agree on both counts. Humans, by and large, are loving useless. As are pandas. Neither have a more worthwhile stake on the planet, given that pretty much both our respective situations are entirely brought about by chance.
