Not homeless, just Northern European.

I probably messed up the translation. I mean a kind of bank account to bank account transfer order.

In ye old days I would fill out a slip of paper and mail it to the bank.

Deposit is probably the wrong word. It’s more a transfer order? Deposit is what came up when I translated my local term, but it’s not like I stuffed cash in an envelope or anything.

I used bank deposits. First through the mail, then through electronic-but-not-Internet payment systems and finally online and mobile banking. Also bank authorizations.

Checks were never big here, but they had been phased out completely in the 00s. I haven’t actually seen one since the nineties. I have never owned a check book.

I’m almost 50 years old and I’ve never used a check in my entire life.

What is this old timey bullshit? Why not a burlap sack of fucking pieces of eight?

I feel “the only fascist regime is X” does a huge disservice to a lot of fascists around the world that are hard at work making everyone’s life crappier every single day.

And that’s without going into particulars about the identity of X.

What is suburban rail, and how is it different from light rail?

Not a lot, apparently.

You are just stoking the flames of a meaningless holy war.

And then you’d have to talk to them about it. Can you imagine the horror!

Do you like bricks? Cause that’s how you get bricks.
