What's Identity, then?

In this case it's just the established label whose traits you conform to.

Identity is a Ytitnedi spelled backwards.

Identi Tea is probably some weird Tea brand somewhere.

surely the vast number of traits people posess would make this impossible to pinpoint to something like that

You have the Norwegian trait. Gives +2 to fish-related gastroenteritis resistance.

Sometimes traits are defining and sometimes they aren't. If you don't like it, take it up with The Official Committee for the Official Catalogue of Defining Traits for Identities.

DD-214: America's true form of freedom.

Just sayin'

I have conflicting feelings about Pearl Jam being inducted into the Hall of Fame. On the one hand, they totally deserve it. On the other hand, it's making me feel old. '91 or '92, I went to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers at a local university's hockey arena, and they'd brought a couple of West Coast bands nobody around me had even heard of yet. Pearl Jam blew the roof off the place, one of those shows where an opening act had a better night than the headliners (the other opening act was Smashing Pumpkins).

The saxophone in the lethal weapon movies should have it's name in the opening credits.

DD-214: America's true form of freedom.

Further explanation is required.

Further explanation is required.

The DD-214 is the form that officially discharges one from the military in the US. It is the form that tells everyone you are no longer property of the United States federal government and are your own person again.

 

[Takhisis]

Does that apply for all discharges?

Anyway, conglaturation!

Yes, all discharges get a DD-214 and there is a block on there that says what kind of discharge you got. Mine was honorable, which just about every soldier gets as long as they don't monumentally screw up.

And I was discharged in 2011, but I was waxing nostalgic with an army buddy and we were joking about how the feeling of joy when a soldier gets their DD-214 must be similar to how slaves felt when they got their "freedom papers". That's what brought on my post.

Imagine if we meet intelligent aliens but they're really radioactive so we can never hug them

 

[Takhisis]

Then the answer is, as always, ‘radioactive monkeys’.

I think I'm going to drink myself to death on Friday night, be dead on Saturday and revive myself come Sunday.

Might I advise not doing that? I doubt you have a group of ardent admirers with a Shroud of Eden on hand.
