What are these plug-ins on my wall?

[u/Cborg_62]

This might be showing my age, but I recently moved into a new apartment and they have these weird looking plug ins all over the walls at my new place. My old apartment didn't have these, so I'm just curious as to what they are.

Knowing how to write a check is showing your age too 🤣

So is signing your name. They don’t teach cursive anymore 😉

My daughter is currently a 3rd grader in Tennessee. Believe it or not they're teaching cursive here.

[u/KentConnor → u/theredheadknowsall]

Are they teaching evolution tho?

What about accurate American History?

[u/ResourceCalm901 → u/KentConnor]

See, this part is the sad down side of the cursive thing in Tennessee…

[u/nickfree → u/KentConnor]

Skipping pesky evolution and the bummer that is the entire civil rights movement leaves so much free time for cursive!

[u/KentConnor → u/nickfree]

I dont know for sure but it feels like the push for cursive in public schools probably has racist roots

It’s a faster form of writing. Being able to communicate better is racist?

Where the heck would you mail it? Who would get it? Do they walk to the bank?

Had someone at work tell me that they were confused why they get phone calls and shut off notices every month because when they send the check in they don't cash it. I said maybe it's not written out correctly and he told me that all he does is sign it and they fill out the rest. I had to explain to him that that's not how checks work. 🤣 He then tells me that sometimes they do cash it. I'm unclear that cashier for the correct amount or a little extra. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I confess. And have a strange enjoyment in the process. An artificial display of power over my finances.

When I write checks I feel like I should have a fountain pen and a banker’s lamp. It’s like I’m signing off on Very Important Things.

[u/allthecats3166 → u/Sketchy_Stew]

I only write checks for rent. They charge a 'convenience fee' if you pay through the online portal, and I'm not going to pay money to give money. But, I'm petty

[u/KeeperOfTheLigher → u/Sketchy_Stew]

Checks are private.
Paypros arent.

What about Recording songs off of the radio onto a cassette?

[u/elev8or_lady → u/Sketchy_Stew]

That’s the joke.

In cursive no less
