I got a picture of it if that counts, lol

That's exactly why I forget my wallet all the time. Don't need anything else that's in there

Yeah, once police here started accepting the digital licences at roadside stops, that was it for my wallet-carrying days. Bank cards, licence and store reward cards all live in the wallet app on my phone now.

That's the dream right there.

They'll take digital insurance cards now, fingers crossed they'll accept licenses at some point.

But I doubt it, our healthcare cards are still printed on what feels like toilet paper

[GGG]

We also already have the Alberta digital IDs for accessing all kinds of things. Tagging a drivers license onto that seems fairly simple.

We still have paper healthcare cards, so we’re a little behind the times here.

I just finished The Leftovers and this conversation made me think:

Enmax sent a large brown envelope with something that feels like a pretty hefty, thick document to my house today and it is stamped as "important information about a project in my area." The only problem is that the envelope is addressed to the previous owner and I've owned this house for ten years. I've had an account for this address for ten years. I wonder if they will send me a package with this important information?

Dig a little deeper... Find out what the previous owner did. We're they Potentially a public servant?

Going to see more and more of this administrative hoop jumping as Boomers age and become less scam savvy.

On the other side I tried to use the term “whitelist” in our company chat software and was informed it was a prohibited term (as is blacklist) as non-inclusive language.

Sometimes its hard to be gen X trapped between these dorks. I got actual stuff to do man…

You should organise a thoughtshower to see if your company can circle back and solve the problem in an inclusive way.

Ordering ice cream for my kids has been so difficult since Mcdoanlds went away from 2 sizes of cones. I have young kids and don't want a 5 inch tower at the top and any time I try telling them to make it small it turns into algebra or something.

"Sorry sir we only have one size"

I know but make it small for a young kid.

"Ok but its the same price sir"

I know but just want it small.

Get to window and they hand me a effing tower of ice cream. Every. Single. Time.

The ridiculous over the top language in social media (including here).

My heart is shattered

Absolutely disgusting

I am in tears

Shut the fata up. No you aren’t. You don’t talk like that in real life. No one does. Shut it clown. You aren’t heartbroken because some kid in Uzbekistan lost a puppy. If you are, then your POS heart has no value. If you are, kill yourself and prove it.

edit: As far as the withdrawal thing, it seems to be a bank to bank thing. The bank questioning me said their large cash withdrawal limit is $5000 and above to fill out the form. I do believe it is for the banks liability. But the banks liability does not override my right to privacy.

"Fine, I'll withdraw $4999." Yes, I am that petty.

I know what you mean! It's crazy out there and in here!

Just kidding. A few that I love. "I need to go somewhere in a safe space cause I can't hear this anymore"

"Words can't begin to describe how I am feeling" Ahhh, yes they can.

On another note, I have always wondered what fata means? I see it written on CP often from other posters too and I have zero clue what it is?

It’s the f word. Mods at one point automatically substituted fata for phuck then everyone got crazy using fata and that was disallowed for a bit as well. Like the mods were inept 65 ur old 2nd grade teachers
