The barrel is [present-tense verb] [preposition] the Worf.

For regular debit/POS transactions, yeah, I think that's universal. For ATMs, though, I think it depends on the ATM software, right?
Is it only your bank's branded ATMs that do that?

My credit union doesn't operate ATMs and just reimburses the fees, so I use any random ATM when I need to do something other than a deposit. Some let me do multiple transactions, some don't. Some don't even let me transfer funds, but those are usually the dinky little machines you find in "convenience" locations.

I didn't notice it at the time, but AIM away messages were basically like proto-Twitter long before actual Twitter became a thing. Some people would always be "away" so their inspirational crap would show since AIM still let you chat like normal while "away".

vaguebooking that would involve lame-ass "motivation quotes" or worse song lyrics that were obviously about some dramatic thing happening in their life

You've just described like 90% of the AIM away messages in high school lol.

That's how ours is. Mostly just collects and manages funds for tree trimming, (communal) landscaping, and to pay the snow plows in the winter.

There's a little micro-management (trash cans have to be out of view except during pickup days, etc) but nothing too draconian.

That said, if/when I ever move, I'm going out of my way to not live in an HOA.

At least we're not doing duckface anymore.

I"m 100% with you. Faith of the Heart fans unite!

In what aisle in Coscto would I find one of those? Asking for a friend.

In all fairness, my HOA isn't that bad. They're more annoying than totalitarian. HOA President Commander Toreth is actually pretty nice. Weirdly, all the people close to my age (mid 40's) like her, and all of her Boomer peers seem terrified of her. I kinda want to know the story there. Like... is she former (or current emeritus) Tal-Shiar?

Honestly, if Commander Toreth was a little older and had white hair, she'd be a ringer for our current HOA president.

I’d previously just thought your alias was a deep cut

I guess it is now lol. At the time, though, I thought I was being creative.
