A lot of us in the US still pay rent in checks. I get them from my bank in books of a hundred, and there’s no upper limit on how big they can be.
Anything that risks bouncing requires getting a fancy check (certified) where they take the money out before issuing the check.
Ironically, as I’ve become more senior (11+ years at a faang company) I’ve had to do less and less of that “look around and understand everything” work because of time pressure. But I rely on my experience to be more confident that I can ignore the details and focus on the reason I’m in this file.
Well, that, and if it gets too messy I give up and call in a junior engineer…
My dad died from this. It’s a horrible way to go. I’m sorry to hear anyone else has to deal with this condition.
Came here to post this. Sure seems like states are the problem here…
If we assume portals obey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galilean_invariance, then there’s no difference between “the tram|portal is moving and the people are stationary” and “the tram|portal is stationary and the people are moving.” The outcome should be the same.

There’s a lot of space in the left that isn’t stalinism. You can be a communist and have a deep critique of how 20th century communism worked, a learning from it and not wanting to repeat the bad parts.
In leftist circles in the US, weird Stalin and Lenin fans are loud, but ultimately not that common.
Socialism is not inherently authoritarian. Yes, 20th century socialism following Lenin’s example was. But it’s not inherent.
Socialism is about workers controlling economic production - at it’s core. That’s a democratic, anti-authoritarian idea.
Libertarian socialist like me are extremely salty at the leninists and others like them for giving the rest of us a bad name.
You’re gonna have to explain a little more about this because on its face I don’t see why I should read what a specialist in the philosophy of science has to say about an ideology based on a historical and sociological analysis of the world. They’re totally different spheres.
Plus, Marxism is not the entire left, and there’s a whole world of thought out there that very likely covers whatever issues you’re thinking of.
What’s the cross posting implementation? I’m not sure I’m getting what it is.

I’d rather learn from Angela Davis, Marsha P Johnson, Judith Butler, and their peers than from whatever “radical centrism” is.
In this case the bond is because he’s appealing a civil judgement that’s been reached. This is different from a bail bond. He’s not at risk of jail over this unless he gets in contempt of court.
