this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

From the cheQUe article:

Big stores such as Marks & Spencer have already stopped taking cheques,

Scandinavian countries and Ireland have already voted to phase out cheques

most under-30s now barely use cheques, while the under-20s have barely heard of them.

All of that? Very interesting, despite the needless Qs and Us.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Banks in Canada have had a successful a pay-by-email system in place for a while. It's easy to set up in Canada, because there are only a few banks there.

Always Anti-fascist!

I did not think about this. Around here, people still use 'em, but it's true, I haven't ordered new ones in ages. Still think they serve a purpose.

It's true mostly I only use checks for my landlord, and the last few times friends owed me money they paid by paypal! But still!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

(Yes, I admit that I'm being judgey of how another country's people choose to spell their word. It's just a weird-ass spelling, damn it.)

Americans are the weirdos when it comes to spelling, damn it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I handle the finances for my coop and we pay almost everything by check so there's a clear paper trail. But I haven't carried my checkbook in my purse since college.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Americans are the weirdos when it comes to spelling, damn it.

Thanks to Noah Webster, right? I think it's fascinating that one guy basically made all of the changes in American spelling.

Quick quiz: Most people can name the first video shown on MTV (well, mostly people who remember watching MTV ever). Can you name the first video uploaded on YouTube?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Can you name the first video uploaded on YouTube?

Was it of a cat?
