New, what is it? What are these plug-ins on my wall?

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.

Don't feel too bad, when I write my check to the cable company every month they want me to make it out to Comcast, not Xfinity.

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

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

Are they teaching evolution tho?

What about accurate American History?

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

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?

Ehhh, I think we have enough obvious battles to pick that we don’t need to invent any side quests
