Considering how common it is apparently, I am pretty sure most of cheaters lie about it or never mention it, so it probably never matters unless the new partner is someone in touch with the one that got cheated on

I was really, seriously contemplating quitting my job for 10 minutes on the shitter just now

If you were to think what a country looks like it's France. Relatively even on all sides squiggly borders but mostly a square like state.

I honestly think they would go so hard

Obviously I didn't know her, but it's amazing how she gained all the success and money after starting from nothing, and rather than just bask in it she used it to help the world. She paid NICU babies medical bills, she founded a charity that sent millions of free books to under fives, her donations helped the creation of the covid vaccine. She gave incentives to the children of her hometown to graduate high school which decreased the dropout rate. Probably more I don't know about. Think of all the ordinary lives she must have changed.

Forget Jolene. Nothing can compete with Dolly

See's knee...Compared it to mrs doubtfires knee...Thinks of bus driver who complemented her beauty...I Hope the bus driver on mrs doubtfire finds true love. I think the red dawn is coming

Long story short. I was supposed to go for a business meeting at 1:30PM but the person I was meeting postponed to 2:30PM. So I decided to stop at an eatery to grab a bite. The tables are quite empty, I'm eating alone.

A while into eating, a pretty lady roundabout my age orders then walks up to my table and says "Are you shy?". I said "No" and motioned for her to sit. Out of all the empty tables she chose mine.

She waited for me to make conversation so I did. We spoke for 30+ minutes, it turns out we're from the same area and have a lot in common.

I eventually had to leave for my meeting but I asked for her number before leaving. We started texting and I suggested ice cream on Friday right away. She agreed and she was saying I'm romantic, she can't wait to see me etc.

I can't believe I got approached by a woman. I'm buzzing.

‎You know, when I say I miss that natural scent, I sometimes worry people might misunderstand. They might think I’m being crude or just talking about something purely physical. But for me, it’s never been about that. It’s about this invisible, instinctive pull. And the more I’ve actually looked into it, the more I realize… it’s not just some romantic idea in my head. It’s actual, hardwired biology.

‎‎I’ve learned that when a woman is ovulating, her body is literally having a chemical conversation. Her estrogen peaks, there’s a subtle shift in her testosterone, and it changes everything...her sweat, her skin oils, her natural scent. I read somewhere they call them "chemosignals." It’s not like the obvious, overpowering pheromones you see in animals, but it’s real. There are these specific compounds that change during that fertile window, creating this unique, subtle signature that’s only there for a few days.

‎‎And when you think about it from an evolutionary standpoint, it’s actually pretty profound. We don’t have obvious physical signs of fertility like other mammals do. Nature hid it from our conscious eyes. But it didn’t hide it from our noses. It’s this ancient, quiet signal, meant to bypass all the logical noise and just draw two people together on a primal level.

‎‎The wildest part for me is learning how my own body actually reacts to it. I’ve read studies where men exposed to that specific ovulatory scent actually experience a measurable spike in testosterone. You feel more alert, more drawn in, more attentive. It’s like my biology is recognizing her biology on a level my conscious brain doesn't even process. It’s an invisible thread pulling me in.

‎‎So, when I say I miss it, I’m not just missing a smell. I’m missing that profound, unspoken connection. That subtle, natural chemistry that speaks directly to our instincts. It’s just… it’s the beautiful, complex reality of being human. And I think there's something really special about just accepting that, and appreciating the quiet ways we connect with each other.

I wasn't sure where else to put these thoughts. The premise begins with a thought experiment I had involving Super Mario 64: It is a known story that during a filmed speed run, there was an inexplicable glitch which was impossible to replicate. It was subsequently determined that a cosmic ray flipped a single bit in the N64’s memory, altering Mario’s height value and launching him to a higher platform. The fact that this occurrence happened and was caught on film is extraordinary because it distinctly shows how intricately connected our day-to-day experience is influenced by a single particle from the cosmos.

What if after playing this game, the user decided to go to the grocery store. Because of the glitch, the user finished 20 minutes earlier than he would have normally. When at the store, say he ran in to an old acquaintance whom he would have otherwise missed had he played the game earlier without the glitch. The user and this acquaintance get to know each other better and eventually fall in love and get married, their lives forever changed.

What I am getting at is this: There is no act so insignificant that it does not ripple out to the rest of the universe in such a way that the universe does not become profoundly different. In other words, if you go back in time and even change the slightest of conditions, the future will look radically different. There are no two possible separate inputs which lead to an identical universe over the eons. (We should not confuse control with influence.)

Put another way, when you see someone in the news with a winning lottery ticket from your local gas station, it doesn’t make sense to think, “If only I was there at that time and had bought it!” This train of thought is misleading because even the slightest change in body language or shift in timing will result in a different random combination of lottery ticket numbers that the teller hands to you.

Taking this idea a little further: There are no elements in the universe which leave us untouched, for if there were, they would be indistinguishable from having not existed at all. Consider even the trillions of neutrinos which pass undisturbed through your body— If there is truly no difference between their presence and their absence, then the messy reality is that those neutrinos may not exist. (In reality, the weak nuclear interactions and gravitational effects that neutrinos are real, but their gravitational effects on the universe are so relatively insignificant that the timing of their consequences is long enough to leave us "unbothered".)

Here’s where it gets even more visceral: Your thoughts, your feelings, your sensations, and your physical experiences— In other words, your conscious— are all very much a part of the equation. With a change in a thought— a switch of a single neuron— there would still exist a ripple on the macroscopic level over time.

What follows is this realization: No advanced beings will ever be able to predict the future about our species, for nothing could possibly be truly omnipotent without interacting with the subject’s mind in such a way that that the advanced being truly understands that observer’s perspective. Existing is physical as it is mental. That bit of you that remains your “agency” therefore has a very real imprint on this universe. By definition, no one could possibly see into your mind’s eye (or view your agency, put another way), for then it wouldn’t be truly you.

Each real effect on this world grows over time, and these branches of the growth will entirely diverge from any other initial input, as it the case without exception. This revelation is a sort of anti-psychohistory, if you will, for— as Lawrence of Arabia say, “Nothing is written.”

Consider this: How you go about your life will (not may) have ripples which will lead to very real effects on a future alien world many, many years from now. The only limitation here is the speed of light.

Also consider this: Is it possible to live in a deterministic universe (i.e., the exact same set of inputs will always lead to the exact same set of outputs), yet have the universe be impossible to determine? Would such a universe be indistinguishable from being indeterministic?

I've been thinking about how there's almost never a point where everything is just... good. If things are going well at school or university, there's something else stressing you out. If that's finally sorted, something comes up in your personal life. If everything seems fine for a while, somehow your brain finds something new to worry about lol. It's like a video game where you finish one level and immediately unlock another one that's somehow harder. But the thing is, you're not the same person who started the game either. You're learning, adapting, picking up new skills, and getting better at dealing with things every time you go through something. Maybe that's why life never really feels "complete." There's always another level. And I think we sometimes mistake that for something being wrong with our lives, when maybe that's just how life works. Everyone has something going on. Everyone is figuring out their own level as they go. The problems don't necessarily get smaller. You just get better at handling them.
