  • This is so comically wrong I don’t know where to start. SMS was fucked from the get go, especially in the US where it was common to charge by the message for SMS. Seriously. It was $0.25 to send and $0.10 to receive them on a lot of people’s plans.

    The wireless carriers fucked SMS, and will absolutely fuck up RCS - along with all the various providers out there. It’s a dogshit standard that isn’t broadly interoperable still.

    iMessage was a breath of fresh air for people who did use SMS.

    The issue with this is it’s too simplistic.

    What it’s actually saying is “it’s easy to not be misogynistic as long as you’re significantly better than all the women”.

    It does not imply that you won’t be misogynistic as soon as you are threatened.

    Ie when status quo is maintained (patriarchy is intact for you) it’s easy to support women.






  • What nonsense is this. The airline checks your ticket against your passport prior to departure. If airlines board anyone without the proper passport or visa and are rejected on arrival, it’s the airlines’ responsibility to fly you home on their dime.

    No airline lets you book an international ticket and board it without a valid passport and appropriate valid visas that match the name on the ticket.

    You can of course fly domestically without ID (even getting through TSA, it’s onerous but TSA has a process for that).

    Your information on that ticket is also electronically sent by the airlines to the next port of entry for a huge percentage of countries.

    If that doesn’t match the passport you have, you’re going to have problems at immigration wherever you’re going.

    You can see this is action on any boarding pass you get for international travel.

    It will say something like DOCUMENT CHECK REQD or DOCS OK right on your boarding pass.
