Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Air travelers in the U.S. without a REAL ID will be charged a $45 fee beginning in February, the Transportation Security Administration announced Monday.

The updated ID has been required since May, but passengers without it have so far been allowed to clear security with additional screening and a warning. The Department of Homeland Security says 94% of passengers are already compliant and that the new fee is intended to encourage travelers to obtain the ID.

REAL ID is a federally compliant state-issued license or identification card that meets enhanced requirements mandated in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

It's an upgraded id/license... with more paper work attached like a passport but without the perks of one...

Also you can have both an id and a driver's license...

A driver's license can be used as an id...

Make sense

I was drinking with a security guard who checks photo IDs before entering a club. And he was sharing all the crazy IDs he would get and have to understand. He's even gotten in trouble a few times for not letting people because he didn't believe their ID was valid, because the ID was "valid" where they came from.

THIS. Fun fact: Arizona IDs don't have (or didn't use to have) expiration dates or just say something stupid like "EXPIRES 01/01/2075". I can't blame anyone who isn't from Arizona for looking at an exp date 50 years in the future and believing it's fake.

that actually reminds me of a buddy of mine that moved to Canada from Arizona. He kept using his Arizona ID for awhile and whenever we'd go to a bar (we were in our early 20s at the time) he'd always get grief because of his Arizona Drivers License. they'd be all "this expires in 2060? this has to be fake" and every time he'd have to explain to them how Arizona drivers licenses work. got to the point where he just had to switch for an Ontario one just to save him the hassle. He even said if he was in another state in the US they'd still give him a hard time over it.

I don't know anyone who has both a state id and a state drivers license. There's no need.

[–] Joeffect@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I did when I was younger... also if you need two forms of id it works for that... or did... but like i said it's an upgraded id lol
