The average marriage lasts for 100,000 hours. If used well, you can use this time to improve the lives of hundreds of people.
A lot of people will tell you simply to “marry whoever you’re passionate...
An old post from Caroline Ellison’s tumblr, since deleted.
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.
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.
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
tired: polyamory on a basis of mutual love
wired: neoreactionary harem with stack ranking
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh.
straight out of Caroline’s tumblr
Please don’t remind me about my miserable time on dating apps.
we told you, urbit is not a dating app!
@dgerard @sneerclub YET!
Counterpoint: it’s not not a dating app
the only functionality is a text forum, so it almost certainly is, yeah
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

You’ve probably just spoken it into existence, friend
It is not? The search for ‘what are we actually going to use this for?’ continues.
counterpoint: every form of communication can be made into a dating app if you’re horny enough
I know someone that met their long-term partner in the chat of words with friends.
i met my wife on netgoth IRC, so
My partner and I met in person but our initial flirtation was carried out entirely in song lyrics posted to our .finger plans.
OK, David’s was still “that tracks” tier but that crosses the line to NEEEEEEERD!
They sound like a keeper.
NNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSS
making a bunch of typos because my hands are too sweaty to operate the Morse code paddle
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
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)
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
