Great intense movie
My mother had 2 Primary Care Providers because she lived in 2 different places (summer & winter). One was concierge.
The non-concierge doctor was just as easy to reach & to be perfectly honest may also have been a better doctor.
The child in the picture is supposedly receiving a vaccine in 1962. Was she or he part of a clinical trial?
For credit cards they ask for soc sec #, & banking & income info.
I've shown ID for a bank account or a job.
I was startled when doctor office asked for ID, but mine do.
And yes, truly bizarre not to be able to pay a bill without proving you're the account holder, but I've had it happen. Still rare.
Oh yes it was.
I didn't recite all the details, but it took forever & it definitely involved showing ID.
I think I said it was in the 1990s, but upon reflection it was in the 1980s.
Also, they told me it was for security reasons. Security as in, who is this flying on our airplane?

Should have linked this instead of that nested mess:

I clicked on someone else since I was reporting that someone stole (or is trying to steal) Dan Kaszeta's account.
You're right!
Another post focused me on the ridiculousness of requiring more than one picture ID on the day to prove you're the one the voter roll (even that is arguably problematic but a lot of states did it anyway & I'm in one).

Impersonation is still there at least on my app. But I had to scroll down to see it.
I had to show it for a delivery takeout order that included strawberries w/ Romanov sauce. Which does not trigger ID requirements at the restaurant.
I grumbled.
You are quite correct.
Add in that voting lines can be very very long - I recently spent >2hrs voting early in a primary election. We shouldn't do anything to slow down THAT line on the day.
This is a great explanation of what's seriously wrong w/ this proposal.

What the Republicans want is like forcing you to take your driver's exam each day.
G-man: You want to go to work? Prove you can drive.
You: Yeah, here is my license.
G: Not good enough. Take this written test, then drive the course.
Y: But I did all this at the DMV so I could drive.
G: *taser*
This!
A few of those things actually do require ID.
Not proof of citizenship, though.
Credit card (often you already showed ID for something else that's related),
Many doctors office (& was I ever surprised when they started doing that),
Some medication (eg opiate type pain meds),
Some bills (very weird).
Well but-
It was hidden in the credit card we used to buy the plane ticket.
Once in the last century when cash transactions were faster than credit card transactions I tried to save time at the ticket counter by offering cash for the ticket.
Big mistake.
ID was definitely involved in the process.
I found one. I had to scroll down before it appeared.
Done
Reported
Yes
Mine seems to still work.
I go there every once in a while to check on The Thread From Hell - which, astonishingly, is still going - & maybe post something to it. In the hope that Twitter might survive & acquire a new owner.
My indoor cats include one feral (yes, I have an indoor feral cat).
I've been feeding her in a Hav-a-Hart trap so I can catch her for a vet visit.
She does let me pet her sometimes.
This is one of the funniest corrections I’ve ever read
"not Kyrzbekistan, which does not exist."
If I weren't so tired I would be rolling on the floor...
I am just thrilled that outlets exist that still issue corrections.
Close the Straits? Who could have predicted that?
@dankaszeta.bsky.social
I stumbled on this weird thread & -
Do you have any suggestions to add for evicting a llama from a bookstore?
Capybara is removed from supermarket in Brazil using a shopping cart.
Like if we could gauge the climate form your window or the economy from the status of Dave, we would consult those them instead of having giant agencies and firms taking data.
That must have been quite a conversation
