Some people (like me) have a fixed IP for their internet connection. Although this isn't super common any more.

Yeah, it's really only tech folk who have fixed IP addresses, and they're usually too busy futzing around with servers to post shite on social sites ;)

Most IP connections are dynamic, and always were. Assuming that a person is synonymous with an IP connection makes no sense to me.

For most dynamic IP connections, as long as your router doesn’t go offline for days on end, you keep the same IP; so in practice your IP (almost) never changes.
