When you issue a check to pay a bill drawn against your personal bank account, it is not considered cash, even if you have enough money to cover it at the time. That is because there is no guarantee that the funds to cover the check will still be available once the merchant or recipient actually presents it for…

A cheque, or check (American English; see spelling differences), is a document that orders a bank to pay a specific amount of money from a person’s account to the person in whose name the cheque has been issued.

In legal terms a check is a bill of exchange or a document, guaranteeing a certain amount of money, where the drawee is a bank.

Your paycheck isn’t dough because it isn’t itself money. It’s a document allowing you access to money. That’s just a fact and your denials just continue to make you look like an idiot. I’m the one with facts and sources to back them up.

then you also have to admit that the use of “dough” could change

Checks were never widely accepted. I didn’t cherry pick anything, those are the facts. If I’m cherry picking, where are all the sources I’m missing?

Your a joke and an idiot.

Wow that’s a pretty desperate reach. There isn’t any colloquial use either, just you wanting something to be true that isn’t.

A check is not cash and it does not meet the usage definitions to be used in place of money. As I demonstrated, it does not meet the definition, not by any use. Where are your sources?

You…

Go back and read the actual thread. It was a question to a different person looking for clarification, that you have apparently turned into some other kind of narrative for your purposes.

I have not built any strong men. Everything I have said about your position is backed up by your words with quotes provided.

the President of the US has access to borderline unlimited resources to sway, abuse, or generally fuck up the life of a partner or former partner if they so choose and then cover it all up.

You are repeating her thoughts and agreeing with them. That makes it your position too. And my comment about infantalizing refers to an idea that she could or did not consent to the relationship.

That is your position. You are saying that an imbalance of power is the same as an abuse of power. You are saying the potential to abuse power is the same as abusing power.

The ability to effect is not an abuse of power unless something is actually done to effect them or some thereat or coercion is used. The existence…

The problem I have with your position is that the existence of a power imbalance is not in and of itself an abuse of power if no actions were taken to actually abuse that power.

That you equate boss/employee with guard/prisoner is insane.

There is always a skewed power dynamic. The difference is the degree. And it’s largely based on your personal opinion.

The potential to abuse power isn’t actually abuse.

it was an abuse of power because of what she could have potentially worried would happen - though it didn’t & no threats were made.

It’s absolutely serious. How is it stupid? You don’t think denying her agency is infantalizing? You don’t think her perspective on the situation is relevant?

You can reject a man in a bar and be killed in retaliation. So by your standards, it’s not possible for women and men to have relationships. ALL relationships between men and women are abuses of power. Because retaliation, in some form, is always possible.

It’s a ridiculous standard.

Yes. Mostly people who are uncomfortable infantalizing women and actually care about what the woman herself said about the situation she was in.
