NecroBob posted:For what it's worth: the dude at my local social security office said that your birth certificate means gently caress all if you have a social security card. Whatever is on the SSA card is what your name is, as far as government functions are concerned. Not with new state "RealID" requirements. Had to get my mother-in-law a state ID, when she got too old to drive. Turns out her 1946 birth certificate didn't match her SS card (BC had an "error" in the spelling of her name). We had to get the name on the SS card changed to match her BC, otherwise go to court for a "legal" name change. Huge crock of poo poo, really.

Oh yeah, I don't have a RealID yet, so I don't know. If I have to go with the first and middle name crammed into the first name field again on my drivers license, I will lose my loving mind.

Whatever is on the SSA card is what your name is, as far as government functions are concerned. Not in my experience either. My last name was changed when I was two years old and the DMV wouldn't recognize my new name, even though I had official court documents stating my name was legally changed and I had a social security card under the new name. They were willing to give me a drivers license with my birth name however, as long as I had some proof of residency under that name. My father and I made a day trip out of visiting some relatives 500 miles away in a different state who had the same (new) last name and I got my drivers license there, even though I didn't live in that state anymore.

Ugly In The Morning posted:Nah, niceholes are a specific thing. Niceholes are people that slam their breaks to let people make lefts in traffic or wave pedestrians through crosswalks when they don’t have right of way. The kind of people who think they’re doing someone a favor but are making it worse for everyone around them. Ah man, I see a lot of those in Portland (at least back when we were allowed to go outside). The important thing is to be predictable.

don longjohns posted:I wish that were the case. When the quarantine is over I am requesting a new Social Security Card, finally, because of that new Real ID bullshit Does SS card count as real ID? I'm still using mine from... I think the original from 40 years ago, and a modern one filling that requirement might be better than getting a new driver's license 6 years before my current one expiress. E: ah, new page and it looks like I misread. Extra SS hoops to GET a Real ID, not to count as one. Dang. Bruceski fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Apr 15, 2020 |

My birth certificate had a typo on it—imagine that whoever wrote it had hosed up the “h” and written “n” instead so instead of “Michael” I was “Micnael”—but that only came up when I was moving to a new state and getting a driver’s license there, so I think people may have been letting it slide before then because it was obviously a typo.

My son's birth certificate has my maiden name and the wrong married name--I went from first-middle-last to first-last-husband's, and it says first-middle-husband's. I asked about it at the appropriate county office, and they said I could change my name with the SSA, the DMV, every credit card company in the world, but if I didn't do an actual change of name with them via deed poll or whatever, I would always be first-middle-husband's to them.

Bobulus posted:I feel like the nice thing to do would be to pick them up for her, then offer to buy them at the resale price from her. If she accepts, great. If she lowers the price because you are dating, great. Either way, you get the jeans you wanted and she doesn't feel cheated. I don't really get how him doing the work of picking them up for her then charging himself the extra resale price is in any way sort of reasonable? She lost literally nothing in this transaction other than an opportunity to scalp someone. Even if neither of them had bought the jeans at some point I'm sure someone would have came along that'd have appreciated them which is the whole point of thrift stores.

That's kinda where I am. I've got my opinion but I know that at BEST I am half of the opinions that matter, and in most cases I'm a Hell of a lot less than that.

If you would never have an abortion, but think other people should be allowed to, then you are pro choice because you think its something that people should choose for themselves. Its not like pro-choice means you automatically think all preganancies should be aborted it means you think people who want to have the pregancy should be allowed to choose to have it, and people who dont should be allowed to choose not to.

There’s a difference between abortion shouldn’t be illegal and abortion should be legal, safe, accessible and readily available. We just legalised(/decriminalised) abortion here a couple of months ago. The people who wanted abortion totally illegal were a fringe group, the main opposition to it wanted abortion legal “but rare” where rare means women have to jump through hoops and prove what impact being required to carry it to term would have on their mental health etc. before it’s allowed. But that’s still “legal.”

Piell posted:AITA For not telling my brother, who was on his honeymoon, that our father died? I was out serving my Mormon MissionTM when my grandmother died in a car crash. Now mormons on missions have communication restrictions, you can only call home a couple times a year, letters only once a week. So.... my family didn't call me. They sent me a letter, written a few days after she died, letting me know when the funeral was. It was the day before I had received the letter!  (yes, they could have called me without anyone "getting in trouble", their behavior is their own) So although I hadn't been that close with my grandma, I felt her death very strongly. I ended up going through my entire greiving process 100% solo without so much as a hug from another human being. My grandfather was still around, so I took a couple of days to write him a letter about his wife's death. I was intending to write my family expressing my feelings about them having not called me, but that was a lower priority. Ten days after I got the first letter, I got another one that my sister-in-law had lost her baby at 23 weeks. I had been really emotionally invested in their pregnancy, I was really happy for them. They didn't call me about that either and I obviously wasn't done with the original greiving, and yes I didn't find out until after they had interred the baby. Went through that 100% solo as well without so much as a hug or a talk on the phone. I was totally unable to function for a month. I felt like I'd been stabbed in the heart and I wondered at the time if it was possible to die from emotional misery. I think I had it before but I definitely got way way worse anxiety from the whole experience, in addition to experiencing a significant, permanent personality shift. People who knew me before and after relate that I am a different person now. Years later I saw some pictures in a photo album of my grandmother's funeral. My whole (large) extended family were there, crying and laughing and hugging each other and being there. I was not there. I was told after the fact and left alone with my greif. So my thinking is, if this OP hated their brother and wanted to hurt them, or was utterly estranged from them and just didn't care, then they made the right move. If they gave the slightest poo poo about the brothers feelings, then they could not have hosed up worse. They will be lucky if their brother ever talks to them again. Even previously balanced people can engage in self destructive behaviors over this kind of poo poo, they should call themselves lucky if they even have a brother when this is all said and done. This kind of stuff can damage people long-term.

Skutter posted:My brother-in-law's ex-girlfriend would always pretend to joke about trying to have the four of us (him, her, me, and my husband) sit "Regency style" every time we would go out to eat. Regency style is, according to her (I don't actually know), when you split up people who are married or are related for seating arrangements, which was difficult with the four of us because I was married to my husband and related by marriage to my brother-in-law. I say she pretended to joke about it because she would be clearly visibly distraught that we couldn't sit Regency style. She would suggest it every time, and every time it would obviously be impossible because we would be seated at a booth or a four-top, and there was no way to get around that, and she would be obviously bothered by it. This, among many other things, is why I'm glad she is an ex. Yeah as far as I know that's almost entirely bullshit. The main concern in Regency seating arrangements is that the people with the highest social rank or precedence sit at the highest end of the table and everyone else of lower rank is seated accordingly further down the table (and since you were married and she was unmarried you definitely had a higher social standing than she did!) but there were countless other details that also had to be observed: the order people entered the room, what they were allowed to talk about, who got served first, how the meals should be served, the correct way for the gentlemen to carve each type of roast, etc etc.. People wrote entire books on the correct procedures of Regency dining. Here's one I randomly googled: https://archive.org/details/b2152645x/page/n5/mode/2up

Invisible Clergy posted:Oh, wow, I was just screwing around. I thought there were only a few hundred Zoroastrians left and didn't know any of them ran restaurants. I am also imprisoned in america. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up. There's a pretty big Parsi community in Mumbai and South Bombay is full of Parsi restaurants that have been around since Colonial India which is pretty great. It's funny for me though because I've grown up with many Parsi friends thanks to growing up right in the center of their biggest community. Some of those shops have food to die for, way better than Rustoms or Sodabottleopenerwala, which are the main chains I've found outside Mumbai. If you ever end up this side, and in the city, there's a ton of great places that still make incredibly traditional parsi food down to the classic bheja (brain) fry.
