Why are you not allowed to laminate it?
don't you americans have plastic version's also, or did i get it wrong?
The idea is that if it gets lost outside somewhere, then the paper will degrade to the point that it's no longer readable. You can always get another card if you lose yours.
Hmm, that actually makes a great point. I thought America was just cheap.
For the vast majority of people who keep their cards safely stowed away in a drawer, this will likely never be an issue.
For someone who doesn't have a safe place to keep one (for instance, homeless), this can get to being an issue pretty quickly.
That said, there are hardship exceptions to this rule.
RM 10205.425 Exception to SSN Card Limits Due to Hardship
When a number holder (NH) reaches his or her yearly or lifetime SSN card limits, an SSN replacement card may still be issued if failure to receive an SSN card will cause a hardship.
To receive an exception due to hardship, the NH must present a letter from a third-party provider, such as a State public assistance agency or an employer, indicating that the NH must present his or her SSN card to receive employment or a benefit.
So you're not completely fucked, it's just some extra leg work.

Shitty for us dungeon dwellers. We don't go outside but coffee stains are a real threat.
Nope, no plastic... Just a cardboard print it.
Somebody laminated my birth certificate. But what are they going to do about it, unborn me? Wait… will they?
Edit: What if somebody laminates my death certificate? 😭
That's how zombies are created.

I've heard blur is not destructive. Please use a paintbrush on 100% opacity if you do this
When I post pictures with blurred information, I replace the info with something trollish and then blur it. Nobody appreciated that so far. :(
Depends on the kind of blur. Some kinds can indeed be almost perfectly removed if you know the used blurring function, others are destructive. But, yes, don't take that chance. Always delete/paint over sensitive information.
Source: we had to do just that in a course I took a long time ago.
Always paint over sensitive information.
Not in PDF tho. There, the stroke is saved in metadata..
Ah man, I remember when they caught some pedo creep who used a non-destructive blur on the CSAM materials he produced that included his face. So satisfying.

wouldn't you also need to know in what kind of pattern the blur was applied. I am sure if you do it multiple times starting from multiple non identical partitioning of the region, it will be impossible.

I prefer sampling the surroundings, typing out a different number or text over it, then blurring with a non destructive effect.
