i love you more than someone 125% better to: from:

RK (Kate) @rk_wiggs there was a Matt Bruenig comment where he once said something like "if you're married, the idea of looking for a better wife to replace your wife should seem as weird as looking for a better brother to replace your brother" & I think that's basically the ideal Cartoons Hate Her! @CartoonsHateHer Feb 7 Re: finding someone xyz% better than your spouse, I think once you're legally married you have to accept that you may meet someone 500% better than your partner and you are obligated to ignore that person and stay with your partner especially if you have kids. : 11:14 AM.

why would you dump your partner for someone 25% better when you can just slowly nag them into becoming 25% better like a normal person

If you ever find somebody 1% better than your wife you should divorce her immediately for the new girl.

Lukas (computer) @SCHIZO_FREQ If you ever find somebody 1% better than your wife you should divorce her immediately for the new girl. "Love" and "commitment" are demonic lies spread by satan to prevent you from achieving a beautiful new wife who's 1% better 4:55 PM Feb 5, 2024 · 20K Views

um actually the correct way to do it is to reject the first 37% of partners (that's 1/e btw) and then pick the first potential partner you see that's the better than anyone in that 37%

Me, a rational agent: Not so fast, buster.

tater tot @parakeetnebula Him, lying in a hospital bed after a catastrophic car accident leaving him paralyzed from the waist down: Thank you for loving me even when it's difficult Me, a rational agent: Not so fast, buster. Our contract clearly states I'm entitled to a tax-free upgrade should I stumble upon someone 10%/25%/125% better than you. And, let's face it, in your current state, practically anyone with a pulse and the ability to walk to the bathroom unassisted is scoring at least 10% higher than you. So, I'm exercising my right to upgrade. It's nothing personal, just trying to maintain my standard of living here. Best of luck with, you know, everything. [I sashay out of the hospital] : CUT TO: parking lot [ the air fills with the sound of tires screeching against asphalt as I peel out of the hospital, racing off to what promises to be a significantly less complicated romantic engagement, only to get t-boned by a Prius. I am sent back to the hospital with severe injuries, culminating in the loss of my lower limbs.] Eliezer Yudkowsky @ESYudkowsky.
