One is young adult (20-ish), graduate, another is 40-ish "professional". They live in the opposite parts of the continent, have completely "normal" /mundane interests (we bonded over a specific book series and share one more hobby).

It did not affect them too much, but they had to use either their government issued id or consent to biometric scan (age estimate via camera).

Nothing particularly problematic, but nevertheless irritating and may become a deal breaker.
