Jesus, two secret families just seems like a lot of work.

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 35 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Hold on so this guy had three different families at the same time?

What's the fucking point of living three lies

[–] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 26 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

That was how middle class boomers did unethical nonmenogamy. Cause like, the secret families probably had hobbies as well. Or they just found people who enjoyed not having a boomer man around as head of household. Thinking about it, that sounds preferable to alot of boomer relationships I hear about

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 33 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Imagine being able to provide for your family, let alone two.

[–] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 27 points 5 days ago

Boomers played the game of life on easy mode

[–] Balefirex@hexbear.net 14 points 6 days ago

Yea I don't even want to live one life

[–] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago

at that point i think it was a competition

Polygamists are something else, man.

[–] IMF_DOOM@hexbear.net 15 points 5 days ago

My ex-uncle had like three or four and ngl he was pretty good at managing it all for decades so no one knew until it suddenly all fell apart five or six years ago

[–] KnilAdlez@hexbear.net 86 points 6 days ago (4 children)

What's the point of a polycule if you all live in different places? Damn, that's so much money wasted on rent.

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 20 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I don't necessarily want to live with someone I'm dating, at least in the early stages? Not all polycules are super committed relationships, or not everyone in the polycule is ay the same stage.

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago

its not my lifestyle but from the few people irl i know who do the poly thing its generally like this there is a primary couple and then like 2 or 3 people who are part of it but those people are a bit more casual it seems... i dunno

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What's the point of a polycule if you all live together?

[–] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 23 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Saves on rent and easier access to leftovers. As a polyamorous person myself there is an aspect where you appreciate being part of the destruction of the standard liberal American relationship model as well.

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago (4 children)

I enjoy my family but I also enjoy being alone

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I enjoy being alone, but I don't enjoy it as much as the 50% of my pay cheque that would otherwise be going to rent

ive been living with my wife for like 20 years i couldnt imagine not having someone in another room i couldnt have a quick adhd stim where i have to run in there and tell them the interesting (to me) thing i just heard real quick like im 5 years old

youd think 20 years of her sighing and pausing her tv show to hear me out (and not be interested in it all) would have driven her away by now but this is our routine and im not changing at this point in my life so

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Can relate. For a while I was going literal months without getting an hour (even a minute )alone at the place. Both my roommates finally held some stable work over the holidays and it was amazing.

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Did you had your own room at least?

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 5 points 5 days ago

Thankfully yes, though I can't always keep it closed because my cat gets nosy, then loses interest, then gets nosy again. I can ride the high I got from having 5 hours to myself last month, but it can be really needling to live with introverts that work part time.

Might plan out a camping trip in the spring just to get away from people.

[–] NotLuigi@hexbear.net 70 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Wouldn’t you just pick up whoever’s closest first? Like plan out a route to pick up everyone as quickly as possible?

[–] OperationOgre@hexbear.net 75 points 6 days ago (2 children)

No you have to choose who you love the most

if it's a sapphic polycule, call that dykstra's algorithm

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago

If it's gay men Dickstras

[–] rcbrk@lemmy.ml 9 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Huh. Dijkstra is a Dutch name.

IJ/ij is a single letter ÿ but typed on a typical keyboard.

The Dutch word for (water management structure) dyke is dijk.

[–] crime@hexbear.net 7 points 5 days ago

there's a reason why his was my favorite algorithm when i was in college hexbear-lesbian

[–] xj9@hexbear.net 45 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

gods, can you imagine? like bitch I'm driving around in a fire picking y'all bottoms up, if you're third its because I gotta drive in a god damn circle to pick all y'all up. second, do you not have car? in fucking LA? (hypothetically, cuz I don't have bitches and I don't have a car)

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 33 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Baby, baby, you got it all wrong. I used a shortest path algorithm.

[–] mar_k@hexbear.net 23 points 5 days ago (1 children)

one's exactly 6ft to ur left, another 6ft to ur right. two 200lb pieces of debris fall on both in the same position. both have equal chances of survival. who you running to, the cynical yet passionate she/they with short red hair and a warm smile, or the fierce yet tenderhearted enby who plays guitar and will always be your shoulder?

[–] NotLuigi@hexbear.net 25 points 5 days ago

I don’t like this version of Spiderman

As an aside there are alot of break up posts getting posted on Tik Tok today over the fires

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Why? People dump their partners if they don't have a house anymore?

Hmm, I wouldn't be surprised if it was that

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 27 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Alot of relationships can't handle a day's worth of stress or couples see how their counterpart behaves in emergencies for the first time and people get the ick

At least that seems to be the common pattern for the videos I've watched

[–] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 4 days ago

This was also true for corona, tons of people suddenly realizing that they can't stand each other if they're together in one place 24/7

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago

any good ones to share?

[–] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 41 points 6 days ago (1 children)

lGPL licensing of your intentionally buggy djikstra implementation to deflect from the fact that yes you did pick favorites

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I mean, surely you would decide the order based on location and dangerous areas right? Like? If you're the farthest one and you get picked up last that makes sense?

Doesn't seem like that was the situation for her in this case tho based on tone

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, that was my first thought. Triage but for picking people up in the polycule

No. Those with the biggest, jiggliest boobs or lowest hanging sacks get picked up first. No exceptions.
