  • No, you don’t need to carry ID on you — many people that don’t drive (and many others that do) don’t have IDs.

    You’ll also note that the state-issued ID must indicate the holder is a US-citizen. Most states have an upgraded version (enhanced) ID/ Drivers License that can be used to this end but it typically requires additional verification and an added fee — it is not provided by default. Non-citizens such as visa-holders and even non-legal residents are also able to obtain a state-issued ID, though not an enhanced drivers license.

    The second part of that clause mentions accompanyment of proof of citizenship. This is usually a birth certificate which is often lost and costs money and takes roughly a month for states to tender a copy to the “holder”. Not sure of other states, but at least the few I am aware of do not provide a legal copy by default. Instead these must be ordered from the state.












  • Anywhere you can choose what communities you do and do not interract with is going to be an echo chamber. Lemmy and all social media are echo chambers. We aren’t special.

    Don’t take for granted the spaces that are not. I am a firm believer that a well-guided opinion must be bathed in scrutiny — which you are never going to get in an echo chamber.

    As human beings we have a tendency to get defensive at the first hint of a challenge. I would urge others to be conscious of this and give yourselves space to consider these challenges to your ideas.
