Ran across something like this when I replaced my license a few years ago. I tried to smile and the DMV told me I couldn't. I was flabbergasted at the direction as I couldn't understand why smiling was such as bad thing.

Last time I had to get a license replaced (a few months ago) I smiled and no one said a thing. After the picture was taken I told the guy the woman who took my picture the previous time wouldn't let me smile at all. He said he didn't know why she said that and continued to process my license.

On a side note: I don't see why they need to use facial recognition. With your name, SSN, address and other information, they can certainly verify if you have more than one driving record.

because you're dealing with the DMV and smiling can't be expected :)

The DMV. I don't know why it's called that when in reality it's the Place That Sucks Souls, or PTSS.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
