waiting in your polycule performance review zoom call and a representative from Polycule Relations hops on out of the blue like this 
and you realize you're getting caught in the polyoffs
polycule standup where everyone sits in a circle and has to say who they had their tongue in yesterday and who they’re having their tongue in today
we just, um, dumped the
person that tops in
that way, but now
you have been promoted!
you are now one
of my elite switches!
this sounds way better than actual standups
is that Anne Hathaway
haven't clinched a polyoff berth but am in the running for wild card
after a very mid-tier first date, I offered to make afternoon tea and dumplings at mine for a second date. they countered with a meet-the-entire-polycule / panel interview at theirs, complete with an outline of who would be hostile and who I needed to win over.
I withdrew my application, so to speak.
I don't even want to know why people are like this anymore.
The "Job Interview-ification" of dates has really turned me off of dating. At least those sorts of people who show up with a clipboard and checklist are easy enough to spot.

I just want someone I can stay late up night with watching silly things and having snacks
Tech bros must be destroyed for society to advance
god yes.
how the fuck are the most insufferable people basically driving this "counter-cultural movement" that both is and isn't one
Less counter culture, so much as anti culture. They’re actively trying to devalue and replace culture (see ai) and replace human interaction and culture forming behaviour at every step with internet services and automated systems. It’s disgusting and alienating and they seem to like it?!
anti-culture.
i like it. i mean i hate it but i like the term it fits well
im in my third round of interviews for this polycule with great benefits and flexible hours. and its work from home!
Oh
Ah
Ugh
Just wanna live in a big house with people ~~I find cool and attractive~~ who'll play an entire Pathfinder adventure path with me
After playing the Wrath of the Righteous CRPG, I can see the appeal.
I need to get BG3 out of the way before I get into WotR; because I'm a Pathfinder > DnD type overall-- if I pick up Wrath now, I am never finishing Baldur's Gate.
The dream.
this is something i so actively don't want to think about that i'm preferring to experience the pain in the hangnail on my thumb. do you understand how fucked up someone's post has to be to make me prefer to feel acute pain?
The husband who had to go to therapy and start taking antidepressants to deal with his wife's love life is really not making a good case for polyamory.
agile scrum pol-- please stop. please stop oh my god keep workplace dynamics away from home dynamics

We're making acronyms!
To be fair to the hosts of Multiamory, it was a stupid source of inspiration but they renamed it to RADAR pretty quickly (I forget the acronym lol). A big part of the idea is scheduling regular check-ins with people so that you can discuss anything you need to in a format that's comfortable, instead of "hey, can we talk?" whenever something is wrong, or worse - bottling it up and holding grudges or bringing it out as ammo in an unrelated argument.
Their politics really aren't that bad - generally a vague libby anti-capitalist.
What in the hell am I reading
A lot of people are married and have primary partnerships. They’re coming to it from the opening of a monogamous relationship.
Oh boy this won't end well.
Rarely ends well unless both people were already interested
Lmao I'm actually certified in scrum. AMA
This wasn't as bad as I was expecting. The way some of them have their relationships set up seems decent, but the interviewees are filled with liberal brain worms. In typical NY Times fashion, they don't address the headline of the article and fail to actually do anything.
I think u nuked the link
what in the goddamn…
Death, as always, to Amerika. I can think of no other place on earth where this can happen
