          You go to an intimate gathering, just friends. A guy you’ve never seen before introduces himself. He has everything you’re looking for; just a well-adjusted and wholesome human being. You’re also everything he’s looking for and so you spend your lives together. Everything is so great that you can’t imagine living without him. He dies a decade before you do, leaving you to pick up the pieces.

            to quote my favourite game

            The pain of your absence is sharp and haunting, and I would give anything not to know it; anything but never knowing you at all.

            i could try to make peace with that

        People have tried to setup a federated alternative to Tinder/etc and other things, but population is still real low and we’re still kind of weird. The sparse demographic info we have is also more than a bit skewed, it’s rough.
