I doubt it's legally required to have an ID here. But you are right in that it's quite simple. A passport is roughly $45, you book a time to show up at the nearest police station to re-new it. And then you get a letter saying you can come pick it up 2-3 weeks later.

I don't see a problem with having people provide ID to vote. That's how you make sure they are who they say they are.

I don't have the data. But im willing to bet that providing ID to vote is the norm around the world. I know for fact it is in EU at least.

I'm Swedish. Don't know if someone can vouch for me. Never tried. Pretty sure I need an ID.

Everyone (18+) get a voting card in their mail sent to their adress. You bring the voting card and ID, like passport or drivers license. Someone ticks your name off a list and you can vote. (No registrering to vote or anything)

ID isn't free, but a passport costs like $40-50.

You can also get a national ID card. But that's even more expensive and I still don't quite understand why you would want one rather than just getting a passport.

I don't quite follow the last part. "She will have to choose and change one of them at her expense"

Obviously you need to update your license if you change your name.

So she can update her BC to match her new name? Or is that impossible, thus making her unable to vote because of it.

That's like saying shitting yourself made pissing your pants less embarrassing.

It says each member will assist the attacked party/parties, as it deems necessary.

My interpretation of the article is that assistance is mandatory. What type of assistance is up to the member to decide

For me it hasn't changed, but that's because I just run the AC-1 and StA-52 for everything (50% against fire, gas, acid and electricity).

Paired with Ballistic shield with Talon or Senator for the bots.

The rest I change up for the fun of it. But that's what I usually go with. When the hoard of bots creep around the corner, I just whip up the shield and start dismantling them

The ones with the thin metal band that your hair always get caught in?

I remember the sound being worth the pain. Good looking too.

You see it as dismissive. Low effort reply, like they couldn't be bothered. It's not inviting continued conversation so you see it as someone telling you to stop talking to them.

If I were to guess. In your eyes. They might as well have replied with "cool story bro".

Which is now forever a sarcastic term and no one regardless of what you say, will believe that you actually found their story cool.

It's not the thumbs up in itself that is seen as rude, but the short dismissive affirmative.

Someone that sees it as rude would feel like they put effort into their message and expect some kind of effort back in the reply,

the single emoji response can also make it seem like you didn't even care to read it, and just say replied with something to make them shut up.
