Holy shit, this is an incredible failure mode. This is an absolute fucking failure no matter whether you oppose age verification or not. Relying on credit cards of all things for this is just straight up nonsense.

Time for a new falsehoods list. An adult must have some form of ID. An adult must have a driver’s license. An adult has a credit card. An adult has a credit card issued in their country of residence. The account region and issuance region of any form of identification match. Etc.

@maxine also depending on region, a drivers license is not valid ID

@ielenia @maxine why would it?
You have your photo-id anyways right
It just proves that $name is allowed to drive, not that you are $name

@4censord @maxine ...why carry the redundant ID?

what places even have drivers licenses that aren't ids?

if anything its more why would it not, it does seem redundant to need both, not to mention the extra cost

@ielenia @4censord @maxine the driver's license has a photo, full name, date of birth and PESEL here but I don't think anyone accepts it as a valid ID

Technically I think you're also legally required to carry an ID on you as an adult.

Getting an ID is both free and mandatory, and it's valid for 10 years IIRC.
