Where I’m from (France) this is how you pay deposits for rentals.
We also have “bank cheques” for big expenses like houses.
Paying with cheques in regular shops is getting rarer, often requires providing two ID, and gets you weird looks. Debit cards have mostly replaced that usage.
We don’t really have credit cards afaik.

Yeah this one is pretty niche nowadays.
I did it for my nephews because I found it funny to give them time capsules of what kind of music was broadcasted when they were born. And cassettes are a good medium for long time storage :p

Yeah I was thinking about renting physical copies not streaming.
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 2 weeks ago:
I’d count digital ones as well.
That’s how I didn’t get the point since none of my leatherback encyclopedias is a complete set (yay backyard sales).
Like a getting movies in a public library can count as renting at Blockbusters imho?
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 2 weeks ago:
0 points if you count public libraries as “blockbuster adjacent” and I’m only a year older than you.

I’d assume it’s the floppy one but same lol

- Comment on I'm just happy you thought it was funny, dear 4 weeks ago:
I tried explaining to a SO why stappling bread to trees was funny or why “Cat.” was peak humor.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone questioning my sanity and theirs by association this clearly in any other conversation.

I want to read this post in a more positive light.
This is how the whole interaction is supposed to happen with no innuendos or anything implied: ask for cat, get cat.
But it might not be what OOP intended.

I too would like to be able to spawn extra arms to bash nazis more efficiently.

I didn’t consider that. It’s very common for people with ADHD to forget eating and overuse whatever CNS stimulant is readily available.
- Comment on But they are two bangin shirts 1 month ago:
It’s not specifically men’s fault.
It’s partriarchy’s and - its pendant - misogyny’s fault. People that pass as men do benefit from them and thus tend to manifest them more but they’re baked in the whole society.
People that aren’t men can internalize thoses biases too. Women enforcing other women wearing a shit ton of different outfits are manifesting internalized misogyny.
I’d argue that there’s also a dash of classism sprinkled on top of it because it seems more of an issue in bourgeois (or at least bourgeois affiliated) settings. I wear safety clothes and PPEs in the shop so not much variety here and there’s no issue if I wear the same outfit I like with friends.
And even at that patriarchy hurts even the “regular-est” cis straight white men. All that shit about “being a real man”, promoting risky behaviours, shutting down all emotions, etc aren’t good for anyone…
I hope you had an at least ok day c:
- Comment on But they are two bangin shirts 1 month ago:
I for one would be stocked.
Fancy dude clothes look awesome on anyone that isn’t me \o
- Comment on But they are two bangin shirts 1 month ago:
I don’t usually anticipate a random garment to become my favourite.
I try to stock up when it happens but sometimes I can’t find any at a price I’m willing (or able) to pay.
Having hippie grandma tastes and trying my damnest to buy mostly used clothes don’t help either.
Otoh I’m getting real good at mending clothes until they fall apart. I have very low standards for home clothes.

It’s always been an issue but recently it’s gotten out of hand since my new medications are appetite suppressants (methylphenidates and venlafaxine).
I manage to grab a quick snack when I wake up and then I’m unable to force myself to eat until the middle of the night…
What a pain in the ass.
- Comment on Dinner bell is going off 2 months ago:
I’ve been meaning to make some delicious cabbage soup recently.
Except that I always forget to cook it until I’m about to pass out and I end up making something quick like a wrap or plain rice.
