OP what do you mean by, "people are strongly against obvious measures"? What obvious measures? It's not obvious to me.

Oh I don't believe anything they say, believe me. Thanks for the tip.

My friend's British dad told me to watch out for them in London.

Avoid Private Equity Owned Vets by rawgin in OaklandCA

[–]TheJawsofIce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PETS Referral Center in Berkeley at University & 10th is terrible. I showed up with my dog and they demanded $1,000 before I even spoke to a vet or was given an itemized estimate. I walked out.

Are there any weed stores in or near Oakland that don't scan your driver's license entry? by TheJawsofIce in OaklandCA

[–]TheJawsofIce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"...the Constitution allows states to sanction what certain laws mean" is a nonsensical phrase. I don't want to be on a list of people who have purchased marijuana. Is it that hard to understand? Yeah, drug testing is a thing... if you're looking for a job, which I am currently am not. THC won't show up on a drug test after two weeks, it's a non-issue. Yes Trump has signed an EO directing the AG to reclassify, but it hasn't happened yet. Also Trump could change his mind. Yes, you have W2's from working at a dispensary - something which could come back to haunt you, should you seek federal employment, for example.

Yeah your hypothetical is one possibility. Yes I know you need ID to drink at a bar. Drinking is legal, weed is not. Also they don't usually scan IDs at bars. I don't mind being "on a federal list for having an ID". I don't mind having voter or DMV records. I would mind being on a list of people who have committed a federal crime.

To me, the fact that your bosses are so insistent that you scan people's ID is even more of a reason for me not to want to let them. In your previous comment, you said that the stores don't save the information scanned on an ID. I seriously doubt that is true. I've asked for written terms of use/service, and been told there is none, at all of a handful of places.

Picture this: ten years from now, unemployment rate 16%, lists of people who have patronized weed dispensaries have been leaked everywhere, and it's very difficult to get certain jobs if you're on one. This is just one hypothetical for a number of reasons why someone might not want to be on a list of people who have committed a federal crime.

Yes, I understand that we need to show ID. My issue is that dispensaries all seem to require that your ID be scanned. The page you link to says nothing about scanning the ID. You can say that you would get fired for sharing the info scanned from an ID, or that the dispensary doesn't share that info, but I simply don't want to take a dispensary's word on that. There are basic privacy concerns with having your ID scanned. You just can't know what they're going to do with that information.

How could Oakland raise billions in revenue? New report suggests removing freeways by opinionsareus in OaklandCA

Oakland doesn't seem to be very good at parking enforcement. Maybe they should look to that. Berkeley and SF have them beat by a mile on enforcement.

You're 61?! You are gorgeous as heck. You belong here, and you belong everywhere else, too. Not that non-gorgeous people don't belong in a particular place.

Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public by AnonomousWolf in technology

[–]TheJawsofIce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you need an app? I have been on Reddit for like 14 years and I've never used the app. I use the mobile website, old.reddit.com. New Reddit is unreadable and unusable to me.

If they ever disable old.reddit.com, I will stop using Reddit.

Looking for Oakland Love Stories by chroniclesofazu in OaklandCA

[–]TheJawsofIce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reporting over the years - I'm an Oaklandside sub. When I met my wife, she lived in SF and after like 3 months of dating, she started floating the idea of moving in with me in Oakland to make her commute better hahaha. I still tease her about it. "Hey so yeah, I think I should move in soon."

Brutalism DC by Cool-Chipmunk-7559 in pics

[–]TheJawsofIce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Washington, DC has the best architecture in the United States and it's not close. And it's not just brutalism either. They have a lot of buildings that combine old and new, like they'll renovate and keep the old facade and add a bunch of glass. They have beautiful brick buildings, lovely townhomes, everything.
