I love it and I despise the fact that they pulled down personal ads.
It was like a virtual clipboard in the laundromat.

- RunSet 4y agoI'm on a mission to keep encounters casual. https://lokilist.com/about.php https://lokilist.com/about.php It's slow going but fortunately text is cheap to host so I can keep this up indefinitely.
