This is like those silly fake IDs that the sovereign citizen goofballs use, and as such it would fail at being an ID in the same ways.

While not helpful for privacy, the truth is that the only reason a state ID has any value is because it comes from a 'trusted' source who verifies the information on it. An ID that isn't issued by a trusted source has no value, as it would be no different from me just asking the person holding it who they are, they can say whatever they like, just as their printed card could say whatever it likes.

There's a country in Europe called Ireland.

I don't know much about the politics and policies there, but what I do know is that if I drop the street view guy there, most places are green and pretty. That puts it pretty high up on my list.

The way I see it, why leave?

Am I just going to let the place fall to ruin because I didn't get my way this time? There are people here who want to make things better, just like I do, and they will need my help next time. It'd be selfish for me to leave them and make things better for just myself when we're supposed to be trying to make things better for everyone.

If things get truly bad, I have to hope that more people will want to make things better. That doesn't work if everyone just runs away at the first sign of things going wrong. If you're of a group where you might be persecuted, and you find yourself in danger, then go, run, but I'm reasonably safe for now, so I will stay and hope for a better tomorrow.

Your fear of a 3rd term makes it all the more important to vote in your future elections. As the two term limit is imposed through a constitutional amendment, they'd need to create another constitutional amendment to reverse it. They need 2/3rds of both the house and the senate to agree to even get the ball rolling, as such, it is vital that you do what you can to prevent them from acquiring those numbers to avoid that situation.

If it did happen, I wonder if the democrats would run Obama again.

Wait 2 years, and hopefully put people who will mitigate the damage into the positions listed on your ballot. All you can do now as a law abiding citizen is wait.

Why would you buy a switch when we know the Nintendo Switch successor is coming soon?

It only makes sense to wait.

But the only place men have to go to is an imaginary fish thing.

Aw man, if only there was some sort of space administration that you could invest some of your trillions of dollars into so that your satellites could be launched by a group that you can monitor and trust.

Really? I always assumed it was about ad revenue by making you view more webpage.

I don't know if I like it or if I hate it. On one hand they're literally stealing the content off those sites, and on the other hand the sites kind of deserve it for telling me their whole life story before I get to the recipe.

It appears to be a "V" Devic actually.

That didn't help at all though.
