Who is not "Rick Rolling" this with a selfie of a stock photo (or a frame from "Never Gonna Give you Up"?)

I imagine the draft for WWII was a little different...
Pet of the month from the 1980s... lost track of her in the 90s, pretty sure she looks different now.
Any time I have tried using my middle name as the name printed on my credit card, the banks 100% consistently refuse to do it.
Your trolls were lightweight. Trolls in my schools would have doubled, or tripled down on Willy - knowing that it bothered him.
Both of my grandfathers went I.O. initials only, including when they were drafted for WWII. One would use his first name about half the time, but only reveal what the middle initial stood for maybe twice in my lifetime. The other: I.O. all the way, to his grave nobody I know ever heard what those initials stood for.
Our IT intake asks "is there another name you prefer to be known by" - and I have gone by my middle name since I was 12, so I told them, and they cheerfully complied.... on half the things in their system, the other half use my first name - things like the name under my picture during Teams calls. But, my e-mail address uses the middle name, so that's nice.
Background checks are big into "A.K.A." listings.
Joe, Joey, Joseph, Jar-Man...
Not always... I knew a girl once...
Can you use any of them on a credit card?
I was recruited as an R&D engineer by a company that was sales focused. It was pretty funny being recruited like a new sales hire: limo from the airport, etc. Limo driver didn't work direct for the company but she did a lot of work for them, it was an hour drive both ways to/from the "big" airport they used. She said most of the sales recruits she drove in were clueless kids, no idea how the world worked yet at all - gunning for a big commission job where 9/10 hires wash out within a year. At least after I arrived on-site I spent the day with my prospective new department, that was a pretty decent process. The one guy I didn't interview well with turned out to be the guy who had applied to the spot I was taking and had been passed over. As I was walking in on my first day he was just finishing moving his stuff out of the window-office desk he was giving up for me, into a cube. I can understand why he was a little prickly.
If you keep the book secure, it's probably safer than any computer based record system - right up until someone untrustworthy gets their eyes on the book.
With a physical book, you can store it in a safe deposit box when you don't need access, make partial copies, copies take (everyone, bad guys and good) significantly longer to make even with a photocopy process... most importantly, people intuitively understand the vulnerabilities of a physical book.
Now, the physical book won't stop keyloggers...
