Due to the nature of my work I didn't use my own name on Facebook for a number of years, and my colleagues did the same. In time I ended up deleting social media altogether because of the constant drama.

I have seen it mentioned on other forums that a lack of information could work against you, too, but i'm not sure about the legitimacy of that claim.

It's not fake news. They are asking for this info for embassy stage applications. But this also have been already discussed in existing threads.

Literally most of the people use real names in Facebook at least...   Also phones are not social media?

I'm so surprised no one knows there a gazillion Shakey's in the LA area still... I'm from Burbank originally and there's still one there as of a couple of months ago when I was visiting. Also a bunch on the Westside. I didn't realize people thought they were no longer a thing!

 

I am no longer on Facebook but when I was, everyone I knew used their real names. I thought fake names were only for people with something to hide. Huh.

They're no longer a thing in the Seattle area, although apparently there is one in Renton, which is down towards the airport.

I am not a fan of the pizza any more (though I had my 11th birthday party there!) but I still love those mojo potatoes. ❤
