    waiting in your polycule performance review zoom call and a representative from Polycule Relations hops on out of the blue like this layoff-stare and you realize you’re getting caught in the polyoffs

          person that tops in 
           that way, but now 
        you have been promoted! 
            you are now one 
         of my elite switches!

    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.

        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?!

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.
