I don't like this. I'm in a state of detachment today. I've tried sleep. I got eight hours of it, so I'm good there. I've had this happen. Sleep doesn't help this sort of thing. Also, I know my spiritual connections with my friends are there, but they are distant. I should normally be able to feel The City, but I can't feel her, either.

I'm here to make shit jokes and support and appreciate my pals
and I'm all out of jokes
RT @esacteksab@twitter.com: Protip: if a person is doing you a favor, don't shit all over their generosity. And don't be surprised when they turn into an asshole.

Having perfect pich can be great, but it can be equally annoying when you're listening to a fast number. #share2steem #music #piano
I liked a @YouTube@twitter.com video http://youtu.be/NhmKrPF32EQ?a Clara Wieck-Schumann, Variations de concert, Op. 8 (1837)
This is going to be interesting ... figuring out why #Wordpress needs to have the login page configured to show. #share2steem #wordpress #webmasterproblems

Discretionary deposit
A discretionary deposit is the term given to a device by medieval European bankers as a method of circumventing Catholic canon law edicts prohibiting the sin of usury. At the time, most Christian nations heavily incorporated Biblical scripture into their laws, and as such it was illegal for any person to charge interest on a loan of money.
The name comes from the workings of the device: a rich person would deposit a large sum with a bank. His name would be kept a secret (at the banker's "discretion"), as a discretionary deposit was seen as an obvious dodge around the charging of usury, and it would have embarrassed the Pope, cardinals, and various nobles and merchants who made use of this device. Every year, in gratitude for the personage's deposit, the banker would make the account a "gift", the exact amount of which would be at the banker's discretion. Of course, the gifts would work out to whatever the prevailing rate was, 8-12%, perhaps. Should a banker's "gifts" be too little, depositors would eventually take their money to another bank whose "gifts" were more commensurate with the going rate. Discretionary deposit accounts were not demand deposit accounts, and so notification of withdrawals often had to be given in advance — sometimes as much as a year.

RT @irisxie@twitter.com: I've been diving deeper into disability and accessibility in games and TTRPGs in particular because I think diversity often forgets to include disability. Do folks have any personal recommendations for who to follow or content to consume? Thanks in advance!
I want to get one of these, though not sure what games are available. I forget, is The Veil going to be available on XBox One soon? I think they said something about that?
RT @superblindman@twitter.com In case blind people who have Xbox Ones but don't already have MKX exist, this one's for you. Might wanna think about joining Game Pass. https://twitter.com/Polygon/status/1071474821068918786
