I think most people have one form of photo ID, and most people should probably have their birth certificate
when you hit 3 things, its a weird number
I'd have 3 if canada let you use your health card as ID, but I think I only have 2 on me right now
A lot of people have a SSN, but no birth certificate
Which imo is fine
All you really need is a continuity of SOME ID
So someone having an ID +their social should be enough to verify who you are
One proof of identity.
Two proofs of Virginia residency.
One proof of legal presence.
Proof of your Social Security number (SSN), if you have been issued one. If you know your SSN, DMV can verify it electronically.

That's 3 things is it not
Though I didn't realize one of them was residency, not identification
Either way, my big win was getting Max Golmuka a SSN
So I'm now legally two people
Spooky being 2 people is not even in the realm of wtf things about spooky
The more you think about IDs, the sillier this all is
idk why you are confused
It's a piece of plastic with your photo and name on it
I guess it's more of a "but why tho"
I mean, sorta
Everyone is mandated to have a stack of buisness cards
with their identity on it
problem solved
I'm not against people having an ID or being expected to identify themselves when detained or w/e
But there is so little actual use of being able to "back up" how you identify yourself on the spot
Carding for alcohol is the only one people can really even point to
Imagine getting carded for alcohol
True, if you never purchase it, you never get carded for it
I stay winning
We are uncomfortable with the idea of people not being a "fixed" entity, but I'm just not convinced it's based on anything real
I haven't been carded for cigarettes or alcohol in like 2 years or something like that I think?

Which is part of why I did the Max Golmuka thing, it's just fucking arbitrary
Nothing that is linked to me is 'me'
Replying to Gent #gent_. Nobody carded spooky for alcohol in a looooong time
Max can certify that is not true
I think I got carded in front of her 3 tines last month
Meanwhile Max, wasnt your ID all sorts of fucked
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 You're supposed to bring 3 forms of identification to get one
they did not ask for that in nc

Why are all the Chinese accts posting in full force today
nothing's really happened in regards to Greenland or Canada
Literally all politics posting I see is either indians praising trump pretending to be americans, twitter is just so funny
Or random europeans from russian bordering countries
