Right? It’s less letters and it’s pretty clear.
I haven’t found a good action neutral replacement for “black list” yet though. “Deny list” and “block list” are too action-specific.

Yeah, it’s an order to take money out of my account and put it in someone else’s. The number on it tells the recipient what bill it’s supposed to pay.

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?
If my cyberpunk 2020 players ever steal a doohickey that sends them to an alternate dimension, it will be this one.
Obviously you do you and you do not owe anyone anything (least of all your employer).
However, something does not sit well with me about the fact that we’ve created a system where the most driven and ambitious people are removed from the production process as quickly as possible.
It says A LOT about what we value as an industry.
That’s not what I meant. You know that.
What is “progress”?
Remember last time? You guys got pretty close to an actual real life coup d’etat. How many more constitutional crises do you think you can dodge?
You bet your ass the next VP candidate will be vetted to “do the right thing”.
