@wohali This is a startup cult, right? If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

[wohali@timeloop.cafe]

@brooke how is it ridiculous?

[wohali@timeloop.cafe]

@LaComtesseRouge @skyguided the one i'm thinking of is a very crotchety Bostonian Jewish software engineer who had an extremely detailed list of turnoffs that were, apparently, dealbreakers. and a few mandatory requirements re: appearance, height, and religious views.

[brooke@bikeshed.vibber.net]

@wohali it's just a silly place with a lot of silly high-income earners taking themselves very seriously

[wohali@timeloop.cafe]

@LaComtesseRouge @skyguided you know the kind, even though they're 25 (well, were, back then) they're already acting 55.

@wohali o m g

[sus@timeloop.cafe]

@wohali the height requirement raised my eyebrows but the breeding pairs made them fall off my face

[liferstate@mas.to]

@wohali "We had a defector" So the polycule is the Soviet Union in this situation? Or is it more like East Berlin? What did Lenin have to say about group sex?

[c0debabe@masto.hackers.town]

@wohali what did I just read?

[wohali@timeloop.cafe]

@c0debabe i don't know, did you click through to the survey yet?

@sus @wohali "Not only are we completely nuts, we are also eugenicists!"

[sofiav@mastodon.online]

@wohali is...is this real?

[amsomniac@mastodon.mit.edu]

@wohali everyone join The Norman Polycule

[wohali@timeloop.cafe]

@liferstate @sus it's like that breeder couple that kept getting written up by snooty liberal magazines a few years back, the ones that have super cringe reddit posts from several years prior they have done everything in their power to erase from the interweb

[c0debabe@masto.hackers.town]

@wohali I did and thus what did I just read

[randy_s@mefi.social]

@apLundell @wohali i hope the defector is safe somewhere and has clothes now

[aplundell@timeloop.cafe]

@randy_s @wohali I choose to imagine The Defector stole an airplane, parachuted into the mid-Atlantic, was picked up by a Russian submarine, and is now on their way to being debriefed in a top secret underground facility in Siberia.

Heh heh. "Debriefed".

[wohali@timeloop.cafe]

@apLundell @randy_s maybe re-briefed

[lmorchard@masto.hackers.town]

@c0debabe @wohali the weird thing is I've known a house like this before

[coolerpseudonym@wandering.shop]

@wohali That’s so embarrassing
