Oh damn i didn’t realise there was something comparable already in there.
Do you have the associated laws that precipitated those changes, i can't seem to find any reference to them ?
Miss me with this "slippery slope" BS.
Having a standardized place to store the DOB is a good thing and it should have been there even before these laws.
And if some users want to comply with those laws, then they should have a way to do it.
If anybody actually tries to make this a hard requirement (which isn't going to happen), then you can bitch about it at that time.
missed one from before :
You mean aside from the laws this change was specifically implemented for....the ones you mentioned....those ones ?
Is there some other example of a hard requirement you need ?
I was already bitching about it, but now i have your permission it feels extra special.
So......not a comparable situation then, ok.
but hey, if you want to argue with yourself about a slippery slope no one mentioned, who am i to stop you?
It seems you are having a good time with it, congrats.
edit : salty downvotes aren't a replacement for a coherent argument, they are however, entertaining.
