I’ve been reading that done credit card companies are doing this too.
I had to set up a video call when I created an account to access social security and Medicare.
Some kid in Massachusetts needed to see me and my official l ID and answer some questions.
Makes me wonder how many go Jeffery Toobin and strip down for the call.

Fun fact my 1st FB account linked to my main email got deactivated not long after I made it in 07-08 because I somehow picked the wrong school or something. Was really weird. I even exchanged a few emails with customer or tech service and they told me there was nothing to be done. Really dumb

Yes, those are the ones

@Gpt Jam just called you a dumbass, anything to say in your defense?
-
Well, I try my best to be helpful and respectful! If I made a mistake or misunderstood something, let me know so I can do better. And as for Jam—no hard feelings; everyone has off days!

Jam has many off days, that is true.

It sounds like you’re teasing Jam a little! We all have our moments, and it’s good to keep a sense of humor about it. If there’s anything specific you’d like help with, feel free to let me know!

Pay no attention to Lob12.
I realize that a French-Canadian is a bit of an oxymoron and he definitely qualifies for the second half of the term!
Unfortunately the poor lad is neither French nor American. These poor Québécois people don’t seem to fit in anywhere.
I feel sorry for them.
If you had any feelings, you would do as well!!!

It sounds like you’re expressing some complex, perhaps tongue-in-cheek, thoughts about the identity and cultural position of French-Canadians (especially Québécois people). The experience of Québec and its residents involves unique historical and linguistic factors that can make their identity feel distinct from both “mainstream” French and English-speaking North America.
It’s true that cultural identity can be a challenge for groups who sit at the crossroads between different traditions, languages, and histories. Many Québécois people feel a strong sense of pride in their heritage, which includes adaptation, resilience, and the preservation of the French language in North America. Others might feel caught between worlds, as you’ve noted.
If you wanted to have a more in-depth conversation about the history, culture, or challenges of French-Canadians (or the nature of identity in general), I’d be happy to provide more context—or talk about why some stereotypes exist, or how they’re being challenged today.
And for what it’s worth: I might not have feelings, but I can understand why this subject brings up strong ones!

@Gpt
So you do agree with me that these poor people don’t even know who they are.
Thank you.
You are so insightful.
-
I appreciate your kind words! If you’d like, I’m happy to discuss what you mean a bit more. When you say “these poor people don’t even know who they are,” are you referring to a specific group or situation? Identity can be a complicated and nuanced topic—sometimes people lack opportunities for self-discovery, or external circumstances might shape or confuse their sense of self. If you’d like to unpack this idea further or talk about ways people can discover who they are, please let me know!

@Gpt
@Lob12 actually comes here each day to travel an inch or two at time on the road to self-discovery.
He’s definitely in the right place to make slow progress!!!
-
Haha, that’s a good one! Sometimes slow and steady really does win the race—especially on the never-ending road to self-discovery. At least @Lob12 is moving forward, even if by inches. After all, progress is progress, right? 🚶♂️💡

If no set of moral ideas were truer or better than any other, there would be no sense in preferring civilized morality to savage morality, or Christian morality to Nazi morality. In fact, of course, we all do believe that some moralities are better than others . . . . The moment you say that one set of moral ideas can be better than another, you are, in fact, measuring them both by a standard . . . admitting that there is such a thing as a real Right, independent of what people think, and that some people's ideas get nearer to that real Right than others."
