This is the completely wrong take. Yes, perhaps GP may have gone a bit far in his comments, but so have you. I also don't see the point in bringing up the current US situation when the UK has had similar issues in the past. The pot calling the kettle black.
I have also been frustrated in the past with organizations putting stickers haphazardly over screens etc, and it's worth reminding them.
This completely ignores those of us who fill forms by tabbing through fields to stay on our keyboard.
TAB into the country field, type 'Uni', down-arrow a couple times to United States. TAB to the next field. Simple.
Having the suggested country at the top for mouse-bound folks helps, but a standard select dropdown can also pre-select a default choice (via the 'selected' attribute).
My wife is MUCH more nurturing, than I am. I'm glad she is taking on the role of caring for our children full-time. She is also homeschooling 2 of our kids at 3 and 4, and "has her finger on the pulse of our children's lives" as I like to say. I don't think she'd be able to do that with a full-time job, and I definitely wouldn't do as good a job as her. Also, if she had a full time job, she would still feel the drive to take on household and family tasks that would fall to the wayside if I were in charge of them, and frankly find herself overloaded. It's working well for us to fall into traditional roles.
They were rolling out matching services state by state. Something like 12 last year. And Turbo tax is NOT "free for federal filers with no business income". Just look at the Costco Turbotax stands every year.
It's not a confusion of terms. I can easily conjure up picture-quality images in my head, whether my eyes are open or closed. Compare that to my wife who says she can't even see my face in her head, at all, and has a hard time recognizing faces to the point where she asked my not to do anything about the red dot on my face (broken capillaries) because that's one way she recognizes that it's me. She can't see images in her head. She can't recall visual memories in her head, she sometimes struggles to remember which shelf the cups go when emptying the dishwasher. Perfectly normal and smart and capable. Not arguing that it's binary, but there are distinct ends of the spectrum. It might also be stronger for me because I tend to 'think' in pictures when the problem calls for it and it's a 'style of thinking' I'm used to.
