Why does everyone in the US card everyone over something ostensibly about age?
It's never been about age.
I've seen a seventy year old man with a foot long white beard get carded and refused, while he was stone cold sober.
Do you think he can't handle his liquor? He's seventy. He knows what it does.
There's a lot of bars/restaurants that do.
I have literally been refused service because the only ID I had is a passport, and those barcodes wouldn't scan into their system.
It's Papers, please, and it's fucking bullshit
I'm 1000% against this age verification bullshit, not only because of the privacy and data reasons, but also because getting carded in a bar or at a store is also bullshit.
It Is Papers, please.
It's Never a question of if you're old enough, it's a question of "Do I think you're human enough?"
And more often than is reasonable, the answer is no, they don't think you're a person, who should be able to spend their money as they like.
Two things can be true at once
Neverfucking mind captain flag my buddy, front and center
And these fucking pukes get m4's?
I was active combat duty for a year, getting shot at DAILY and I had to suck it up and try to fucking kajigger a full size fucking garbage ass m16 out the fucking hatch to return fire
Fuck everything about this

The link between citing your sources, for why you're thinking what you're thinking, and not copy/pasting said sources, is in fact fairly smart. Almost intellectual.
