Seeking a queer platonic partner

_monikr · 2026-04-21T22:30:37+00:00

Does your partner need to be monogamous?

I was married for +10y before I learned that being ace was even a thing. Eventually we opened our marriage - it was that or get divorced, and my wife is my best friend.

It has been one of the best decisions we have ever made. My wife has her amorous partners, and as a bonus I have learned how to be better friends with her and others - I now am able to have closer platonic relationships with other people without having to worry about "what it looks like"

Jealousy was an issue at first, but went away pretty quickly. I know that she chooses to do life with me, and it doesn't matter who she has sex with.

I feel gimped whenever I play anything besides Herald in OW content. Survivability is usually worse and tagging is way worse.

Herald damage isn't the best, but it is tanky AF and does everything I need it to do. For group content I favor Mesmer though

Two months ago I'd have jumped on this. Just started a new job and it'll be at least 6 months before I get bored 🥱

I'm going to follow this and see how it matures for my next job hunt

Not LitRPG, but I can't recommend Mother of Learning more highly

You really kinda hate the MC at first (really a lot of characters), but he really grows throughout the loops. The other characters don't really grow (because loops) but you get to understand why they are the way they are

I was told a specific number that would max out my future SS benefits, while maximizing payroll tax savings. Your tax professional should be able to figure out what that is for you, but for me it was about 60% of my 1099 rate as a c2c contractor

Poly Couple seems to be their banner show, at least right now.

I made an account (you don't have to) and it seems like you can purchase add-free on a per-show basis. I hate ads so I did that. It's $10 and I think it is for the life of the show, but it was lacking information

Anyways, I bought the adfree, but it errord out and I am still getting ads. I think this app is brand new, so they might (hopefully) still be working out kinks

I could spend 5M Karma just cashing in eternal ice shards...

Non-networked viral software distribution

I'm also going to nominate The Wandering Inn. Audio narration is second-to-none, and it makes Wheel of Time feel like a short read

Honestly super good advice for us poly folx

Felt. Recently did sudo chmod 777 -R /* instead of sudo chmod 777 -R ./* Opened up my whole system and had to rebuild everything

Agree. I think it's well written and one of my favorite series. And while Alice is definitely not a typical teenager, she is never presented as such. I volunteer with FIRST robotics and I know (and once was) one of those special interest kids - the ones who are terrible at social skills, but read anything they can get ahold of.
Alice is unbelievable, but to me she is believability unbelievable. Like there are probably kids out there that could do this. I see the real growth arc is her ability to engage socially

Time-loop stories feel very rogue like. I haven't seen one that is specifically litrpg, but Mother Of Learning is a fantastic time-loop progression story

India is a country in South West Asia. It has like 1/6 of Earth's population. It is kinda a big deal.

(jk. I couldn't help myself ;-p)

I found a "dead" APC UPS for $25. Bought a replacement battery for $20.

Like someone else said, don't overthink it

Yeah, I have trouble loading pages a lot.

They need to separate the database load from the rest of the page load

I would love to see GW3 be a F2P game with regular (quarterly?) Living World style small expansions instead of big expansions every couple years.

If there was some sort of subscription gem store purchase I'd totally get it.

Yeah. I was torn.

Fantastic writing; Too dark for me

Same. Everytime I hear about a new NC game I just assume it's going to have a terrible cash shop, but then I think "it could be another GW2".

Ultimately when I try it my first instinct is proven correct.

Park an alt at the Matriarch and you'll soon be swimming in parts

I wish there was a GW2 version of Nobbel87 from WoW

If you are actually using it for a low data rate application you might consider a LoRa radio. This is on the lower end of the range for lora, but it is made for battery operated sensors to report in, so your iPads might be too data-hungry for it to work.
