Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do both Northern Ireland & Scotland print their own bank notes?
21·10 days agoAt least for Scotland the reason is historical, before the union they had their own pound, so they continued to mint their own coin.
Scottish notes technically aren’t legal tender even in Scotland, but this because legal tender has a very narrow meaning in relation to court debts. They’re technically promissory notes, the bank of Scotland has to hold reserves of sterling notes to cover them, although most is in special £100m value notes. Banks will accept them in England, some shops will not because they don’t recognise them and think they’re fake.

Solarpunk@slrpnk.net•People are a TEENY bit confused about "woke" Starfleet Academy

He also seems to insist on his own weird definition of “woke”. In general it’s used to define an obsession with identity politics that is entirely devoid of material and class analysis, of a kind that is especially prominent among the PMC, which nutrek is a perfect example of.
It’s a shame, this kind of video could be exactly the kind of thing that helps build bridges to de-reactionisation of alienated “nerds”. It sets out in a Marxist context a structured explanation of what I’ve seen more cohereant righties try to express, but instead he chooses to insult people.
It’s blocked by lemmy.world, like half the fediverse is.
Mander and most other instances don’t block them.
