Ew.

Some Big Macking led to a triple McBJ.

I liked the Taco Bell anime better.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/swift-sanctions-russia-banking-ukraine-1.6365146 I think I understand from this article, but my banking experience isn't quite enough to explain it though I'll try. Sounds like it's mostly a method of bank to bank communication for speeding up external transactions. Basically losing access would slow the flow of money significantly, albeit not cutting it off since SWIFT in itself doesn't move money. It's more notifications that are set to trigger approvals and declines quickly. I am speaking from the lower ranks of banking, though, so the only thing I can say with confidence is "that sounds bad for Russia."

Yes, but I'm only saying that because I'm an asshole.

I've done that. I chalk it up to me being profoundly stupid.

Like when guys are nice to women for a reward rather than to be nice. I guess that makes sense. I never fully understood the idea since it's seemed to be culturally related to women being treated like they can't take care of themselves and that always weirded me out.

Out of curiosity, what about being a lady means you inherently shouldn't pay or hold a door? If I do either of those (and I do a lot of the time), it's out of courtesy and not because the other person has a vagina. I'll do those things for male friends, too, despite having no romantic or sexual interest in men. Doing it to treat another person like a lady sounds dubiously like "nice guy" shenanigans.
