this is valentina🌷's theory for the lack of confrontation in SF "everyone here is aware that we're all playing long term games" - valentina🌷 "one bad experience with a person may leave them salty with you for life and you will have to interact with this person for the next decade" "i think that is misjudged. confrontation means that you care enough to let them know that what they're doing might be anti-social and allows you to overcome something and make SF better" "they (people in SF) need constant fine-tuning and aligning. just like our agents"

i have this theory that because everyone in SF is so busy that they use partiful +1s as dates. this kind of interaction is as follows: - been on one or two dates - haven't had time to catch up in a while - invite them to a partiful that you were going to go to anyway

we asked roon about X starterpacks: "i hate it" "we had this concept of illegibility. stay vague and weird so people can't label you and attack you based on that label." "then here is this starterpack where these 20 accounts are this label." "it probably is a good growth hack"

we reacted to Linda Chen talking about how the guys are too locked in to date. NICOLE SUMMER HSING has had a different experience: - a lot of guys out there shooting their shot - many are too awkward to ask a girl out on a date
