  • Idk why I’m going to bat for the dude, because he’s clearly a tool, but my phone probably has a photo of my SO’s ID if you dig hard enough

    Woulda been something like a “I’m buying plane tickets for our vacation, what’s your passport no.” kind of situation. Or her: “left my wallet, what’s my DL# so I can pay this parking ticket”.

    Not certain anything is there, but weve been together long enough, I’m not certain it’s not there either.

    ETA: Maybe also “were going on vacation, state department recommends keeping a separate copy of our passports in case something happens”

    I recognize long term relationship is different from mistress, but still













  • You know who is implementing RCV? Jill Stein.

    No she’s not - she’s a physician, not a legislator. She’s not implementing anything except (hopefully) health care for her patients. She’s promising to make RCV a political priority, but even if elected, the president doesn’t write the laws.

    And that even if is doing some heavy lifting, because it’s impossible for her to get enough votes (50.01%, because a plurality goes to the legislators to decide) to win.

    What she can do, is syphon enough votes from from Harris to hand the country back to Trump (who I promise you will not solve the problem of genocide in Palestine), which is why the RNC and hostile foreign powers love to prop her up





  • It’s a poor analogy, but imagine a public IP like a hotel, there can be lots of guests (clients) at this hotel. Hotel policy is they won’t let any outsiders in unless you know the room number (port) of the person you’re trying to reach.

    Imagine you and a friend are staying in separate hotels and want to give each other copies of your favorite Linux .ISOs, but neither of you knows the other’s room number - you show up at the hotel and the front desk tells you to pound sand because you don’t have their room number.

    As long as one of you knows the other’s room number though, you can meet.

    Torrenting without port forwarding means you can only trade your favorite .ISOs with people who have port forwarding enabled (sharing their room number to the tracker), which makes you less effective of a seeder. Enabling port forwarding allows you to share with anyone (sharing your room number with the tracker).
