@made_in_cosmos no one ever believes us (people who make crowd pleasing meals) about the volume of butter and salt everyone loves my chicken soup. there are a few tricks to it, but one of the big ones is "a stick of butter. yes the whole thing". when friends and family make it it's never as

this conversation w roko is crazy, not bc of what he says, but because dudes keep liking his advice, and it's like... I'm happily married with kids, and fit, and make a good income! dudes, you are actively seeking out shitty advice from unqualified sources!
@RokoMijic @hyperboreanterf literally spent at most five minutes thinking about this before getting married. here's why it was worth no thought: if I get divorced, it means I failed at the biggest project of my life. it also having a high dollar cost is negligible downside compared to that
