   I love this feature - I have separate vibration patterns for my wife and my girlfriend, so I can easily tell if a text is from an important person without taking it out of my pocket (and I refuse to wear a watch)

   Your idea sounds cool, but then I’d have to learn Morse code which doesn’t sound fun to me

      Hope your lawyer has a special buzz as well.

         They're probably open and felt the need to mention it specifically. I know people like that as well.

            Would you feel the same thing about "the need to mention it specifically" if they had mentioned their boyfriend?

            Your phrasing reminded me of what casual mentions of a same-sex partners used to elicit, when heteronormativity was more prevalent.

               People choose to be in open relationships

                  People also choose to be bigots.

                     If that was directed at me, you might want to think about it a bit longer

      My wife’s vibration pattern for a call is SOS in morse. No side-piece for me though. Very happily married, just know if she calls it is important.

         > Very happily married,

         How relevant. Sounds oddly like a “gotcha” of sorts; still, I can’t help but wonder how happily married you really are considering you felt the need to bring it up entirely unprompted in an otherwise entirely unrelated note.

            It’s a joke. Parent mentioned wife and girlfriend.

            1. PcChip · 1790974673 · focus · HN ↗

               I don't get the joke

               very happily married here too

                  My open friend said the same thing before his wife left him for the boyfriend and took his house. Good times.

                  Pretending that everyone automatically understands your relationship arrangement sure does get the intended reactions, doesn’t it?

                  1. dvyjtcsctrvjj · 1790980077 · focus · HN ↗

                     Yeah, that’s totally on him and not the rest of the HN jerks purposefully trying to insult him to feel better about themselves.

                     The intended reaction was to discuss vibration patterns and morse code. I honestly didn’t even realize that would sound weird because we’re so used to it that we don’t realize when we say things like that, I apologize. I don’t see a way to delete my parent comment or I would

      Here&#x27;s a fun game to learn morse code ... <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;alexvscoding.itch.io&#x2F;morse" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;alexvscoding.itch.io&#x2F;morse

      I&#x27;d highly recommend even if your goal is just to have fun, and not to &quot;learn morse code&quot;.

      Great for your kids, and your other kids too!

      Great use of polyhaptic notifications.

         I see what you did there, and I love it
