Why do I keep getting emails from "sosoeros"?

Comments

[sossery]

It's in poor taste.

[burnedout]

Considering the culprits I can't say I'm surprised.

[sossery]

Did someone do this?

[burnedout]

Yes, two of my friends. Apparently it's a dating website.

[sossery]

Oh.









.... No, sorry you lost me. Dating?

[burnedout]

I'm not sure I'm qualified to explain this.

[sossery]

Honestly, I doubt I'd be able to tell.

[burnedout]

Well, it's supposed to be a thing you do with a person you like. Or someone you met, to see if you could like them. Go out to dinner, see a show? The goal is to spend time together, strengthen your relationship maybe?

I've been on a couple but they were mostly just for television.

[johannamason]

Didn't you get pregnant from one of those?

[burnedout]

You know I don't like to talk about my fake television baby.

[johannamason]

What happened to it anyway? We didn't get baby gossip during interrogation.

[burnedout]

The official story was that I lost it during our escape.

[johannamason]

Sad.

[burnedout]

I got through it.

[sossery]

[I understood maybe five words out of that]

In other words... courtship?

[burnedout]

Yes, that's a better way of explaining it.

[sossery]

I see it's become even more unnecessarily complicated.

[burnedout]

I think here you aren't being forced into it, so in some ways I think it's supposed to be easier? At least compared to where I'm from. I wouldn't know.

[sossery]

I wouldn't either. I never got that far.

[johannamason]

You got a lot to say to for somebody who just showed up.

[sossery]

And a lot more where that came from.

[johannamason]

Oh yeah? Like what?

[sossery]

Words with more syllables, for instance.

[johannamason]

It's not the size, it's the impact.

[sossery]

I prefer to lie low.
