Haha that was the case at my uni too. I met my (ex) girlfriend on the unix system at uni through `talk` and `to` [1]. A lot of the CS students (me included) had .plans that we would update regularly as sort of proto-blogs. Definitely a lot of finger stalking (and `flon` [1] stalking as well).
replyThis whole thread has me a little puzzled, in the UK 'fingering' is the de-facto term for a sexual act. Is that not the case elsewhere?
reply"Fingering was huge at my university" is, in the UK, very true, but I feel that's not the context you're using it in!
There was a fellow student at university who put the entire Hunting Of The Snark in their .plan file. It scrolled for a while.
replyI'm dying! Using Telnet to flirt. The father of Tinder XD
replyNo, that I think would be Match.com or something along those lines. This is like the grandfather or grand-grandfather of Tinder, but not even intentionally.
replyWhat I find funny is how an Estonian proverb/saying would fit here quite nicely: “don’t try to teach your grandfather how to have sex.” In this case, the grandfather didn’t need teaching - it was molded by the era into what was necessary.
match.com is a company that literally owns Tinder and nearly every "dating site" btw (even the one you're thinking of, it doesn't matter, it owns all of them including the ones that used to pride themselves on not being owned by match.com).
replyIn the late 80s, a friend of mine broke up with his girlfriend via email while they were both sitting in the same computer lab.
replySounds like Berkeley.
