  • Torrenting is a technology where a network of ordinary people share a file in tiny pieces all together. There's no central server, you connect to one, ten, or a hundred other computers who each give you part of the file.

    Torrenting only works if people are uploading the file as well as downloading it. Giving a file to others is called seeding, and taking a file from others without giving back is called leeching. Most people are peers, who take the same amount they give. Ideally, everyone would be a peer, but since some people are leeches, we also need seeders.

    I'm not familiar with this stremio app, but if it does what I think it does, then it takes from the network without giving back and it can now pretend to be a different client to sneak onto the network. If enough stremio users watch a show, it'll become unavailable to other pirates.

  • Well, I think it's funny. I appreciate an author who has style and passion, it keeps me invested. It's not like anyone's opinion of the lord of the rings matters, so I couldn't possibly be offended no matter what I thought of the movies.

  • The meme's punchline is that a tourist is transphobic. That's not funny if the meme's author is transphobic. It's only funny if the author is laughing with us, at the tourist. I think the meme is supposed to be funny, so whatever is funny must be true

  • I sought treatment, and most of the pwNPD I know have sought treatment. The primary barriers to actually getting treatment are cost, and lack of trained psychologists. Insurance doesn't cover personality disorders and therapists don't know how to help us, other than giving generalised PTSD and cPTSD treatment such as schema therapy.

  • She tried to out Fitgirl as trans to encourage harassment of her. Trouble is nobody believed her, because nobody knows anything about Fitgirl and we don't believe Empress does either.

  • I don't think the person who posted this meme yesterday is the one who made the meme. I think it's a re/crosspost. I think that since it's a meme making fun of tourists to Thailand for being transphobic, the author would have to be someone who understands the basic subtleties of gender in Thailand.
