So Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing meets Kill Bill?

Course that was back when New York was on ‘his side’. Not so sure that would still be true with the new mayor.

Keeping their options open. Ive had many conversations with people who have a long term relationship but they never married and they insist that it’s exactly the same ‘just without a piece of paper’.

No, it’s not.

That piece of paper isn’t the only thing that’s different. The difference is being 99% committed or 100% committed and it’s “only” 1% difference but that 1% is a huge difference.

100% committed means I’m not scared to marry you because I want to be with you the rest of my life. That means I’m here, I’m 100% for you and no one else no matter what happens. Not ‘til the feeling goes away’, not ‘til you dont turn me on anymore’, not ‘til someone else intrigues me more’, not 'til you dont look like you did when I met you, not ‘til you are more work that I thought you’d be’, not ‘til you get sick’, not ‘til we’re not having fun anymore’… I’m here TIL I DIE, come hell or high water, good times or bad. 100% committed.

And when you find that kind of commitment, a relationship finds its groove and you can start to relax and really enjoy life together. Because you know your spouse has no plans, no desire, not even any thought of going elsewhere. THAT’S what makes marriage and 100% commitment the most fulfilling and most satisfying relationship.

Not explicitly, no, but I wouldn’t consider holding the head of someone I cared about and who had just helped me through a desperately traumatizing event odd. The world needs a little more compassion and empathy and less criticism.

It appears no one here has lost a loved one. When you do, the people who show up for you are deeply appreciated. A 3 second hug is hardly an issue when someone has been there to help you reclaim and return your husband’s body.

I always picture a lot of people who work behind keyboards in a ‘techish’ job as your average plumber isn’t taking time out of his day to jump on his phone to do a survey, but a bored programmer definitely would.

I was under the impression that lemmy and lemmy.ca were synonymous. And Canadian.

Yes it was a survey of lemmy not the entire fediverse.

Has it changed much?

Well, its not ‘some letter’ written by ‘some guy’. It’s actually the law now that it’s passed. There may be wildcat strikes because of it but it’s still the law, like it or not. Whether it withstands a court test is another matter.

Oh, didnt know that. Thanks.
