Minnesota Mixup posted:Well that does just so happen to be a month before the elections soooo... Required real ID to vote? I have to go update mine and I'm looking forward to how long that poo poo is going to take. What a pain in the rear end. Voter ID laws have been struck down as unconstitutional pretty consistently. The Real ID poo poo is just what happens any time the federal government tries to unify anything normally handled by states - it's 50 different moving targets and it's always a poo poo show. The thing that really irks me about it is NY used to have these bendy licenses that were really durable and easy to take out of your wallet and put back (which you have to do all the drat time), but the new ones the federal government makes everyone use are stiff, brittle pieces of poo poo and mine already cracked after less than a year. When it snaps in two, I'm going to have to get a new one for no reason.

meatpimp posted:Fixed. The funny thing is I don't even have the real id version because I'd need to show up in person with all that garbage. I just ordered a normal one online in 5 minutes instead. I have TWIC, so I just use that to fly. Edit: Ironically, TWIC documentation requirements are easier and you only need one form of ID to get it, as long as you're okay with getting fingerprinted and having a background check done. Also takes less time than going to the DMV

meatpimp posted:Something's fucky with this new US ID system. I don't know about where you are, but MA sends a very helpful checklist with EXACTLY what you need. One from this column, 2 from this one, etc. All the stuff you had problems with is covered in my form (which I have because I need to renew and get a RealID). But yeah, it's a barely-concealed attempt to exclude the poor (who will have trouble finding all the needed docs) or immigrants. GeeIWonderWhy?

Applebees Appetizer posted:So they can deport all the poors It'll be far more nefarious than that. They don't want to deport the poors - they want to exploit them, and I can't think of a better way to do so than restricting the ability to travel across state lines. The writing is on the wall in many conservative Midwest states with falling birthrates and a dwindling population of those below 40 - another 10-20 years and much of the interior of the country (especially rural areas) won't have enough able-bodied working age citizens to serve the aging Boomer population that remains. Have to stop the bleeding somehow. Hell, I just started a union municipal job and I'm still eying Michigan as a potential relocation destination from Ohio.

taqueso posted:Yeah self hosting email now is pretty bad. You'll be spending a lot of time trying to get off block lists and finding out you go in everyone's spamfolder. The problem is that you never know what spamming dickbag(s) is/are sharing your physical server and IP range. I *usually* don't have too much trouble with LunarPages hosting, but they got bought by some rando called "HostPapa", and I have no idea what's going to happen. Even before that, their support was exclusively Indian, not sure if outsourced, in my experience, and (slow) email only. You can't even access a ticketing system to see if anything has been done at all. Thankfully, I still have an SBCGlobal email address (several, actually) from when I had UVerse that still works. Speaking of which, I just scheduled AT&T to install fiber next Saturday. Gigabit internet for $$10 more than Spectrum's 200 Mbit? Yes, please. $100 after a year, but still only $30 more for 5x the speed, and a buttload of upload speed. meatpimp posted:Something's fucky with this new US ID system. Oh, God, this motherfucking poo poo. My wife went to go get hers, didn't have the "right" birth certificate, had to get a new one. Fortunately we're still in the (TX) county that she was born in. I will have to go next county over. My beef is that both of us were born in the state. Why does the DMV, a state agency, not have access to the state records that are our birth certificates? Oddly, she didn't need the marriage license, but the agent said "you know what? Let's scan it in anyway, so it's on file for when they decide they *do* need it." Good agent. Better still, guess what ID is required to get your birth certificate? Yeah. This is so hosed up in so many ways. It annoys me beyond coherence that I'm 50 years old, have had a Social Security card from day one, and a driver's license since 1988, and *now* they question who I am and want me to prove it. Hey, you fucks, look at the unbroken string of documents already on file since my birth. Never mind that none of this adds any security whatsoever. The TSA are morons barely capable of not drowning in their own spit. On the plus side, all this gets me that much closer to everything I need for a passport so I can escape when the poo poo hits the fan, so... Applebees Appetizer posted:So they can deport all the poors Jokes on them - there won't be anyone left to do all the menial jobs they won't do. Actually, I kind of want to see that.

FYI if any of you nerds haven't seen it yet, I plowed through The Witcher on Netflix on Friday and Saturday and it was a real good time. I already want to watch through it again, which is something I rarely do with shows.Darchangel posted:Better still, guess what ID is required to get your birth certificate? This is what concerns me. So many people that I on-board here are pretty poor or in lovely situations and struggle to provide two forms of ID as a result, and I can only imagine this will lead to thousands of scenarios where someone can't get their Real ID bullshit because they don't have a social security card or birth certificate, and then they won't be able to get a new social security card or birth certificate because they don't have a Real ID.

They're private, the awards from each amount to a value of over $200,000. Soooooooo, I don't have to pay for my daughter's college, or watch her suffer with a decade of loans. She will have to pay room and board, and I promised her as a reward for her kicking so much rear end in school that she will graduate 100% debt free, even if that means I pay her rent and food and poo poo. This seriously made me emotional because it’s basically my one big goal/dream - if I can get my daughter through school debt-free, I will be satisfied with my life.

I think they literally make it difficult so people with no patience just give up and say gently caress this.

I took my loving passport, which will let me get into and out of other countries, along with my valid DL and various other means of identification to the DMV only to be told that the piece of photocopied paper that states I am in fact alive, and has been certified as legit by [random small town county clerk from the midwest in the early 70's] -- a document that an armless 12 year old could have forged in 1980 using a embossing label maker and the copier at the public library -- needed to be present AS WELL to get a Real ID, a less powerful form of identification than the passport I was trying to use to get it! Luckily I looked at my hands and noticed: I have a passport, so gently caress your Real ID.
