    Given that Ellison star-witnessed her ex into >200000 hours in the clink, I dread to think of what might happen to the person that marries her

        Please don’t remind me about my miserable time on dating apps.

              oh fuck there’s definitely an urbit dating app isn’t there

              these weirdos always use their fucked up platforms to implement insular dating apps

                JWZ once said that every platform eventually evolves into being able to send email and allowing its users to flirt and hook up. I dunno if Urbit has reached that stage.

              the only functionality is a text forum, so it almost certainly is, yeah

            counterpoint: every form of communication can be made into a dating app if you’re horny enough

                people would try to pick each other up over ham radio and have others break in to remind them that a large portion of the globe could hear them

                  “radio amateurs are waiting on your call. come play my lord”

                  god I’m imagining how this all must have went given the personalities of some of the radio hams I’ve known

                    I’ve actively stayed a pirate because I don’t want to deal with the majority of local HAMs (a necessity if I were to pursue a license locally)

                i’m 100% sure this happened but like, in interbellum

                also, there’s MGM for that, or iambic key if you’re a purist. or some digimodes can send plaintext which is basically primitive and slow chat

        That’s fair, us mutual love and respect polyamorists are old and boring.

          ya know how the failure mode of polyamory is when the cis straight guys try running things? yeah, welcome to rationalism

            Oh I’ve been to that event before. Angry lesbians came to the rescue then. Unfortunately I don’t think any of us want to deal with rationalists. Maybe they could get some angry bi ladies, I hear they do in a pinch.
