I think the only non-cringe way to meet people is through blind dates with completely randomly selected people, so that you need to go through a thousand miserable interactions before you even meet someone who's the right age and gender for... With blind dates, says Sam, you still eventually learn something about the person.

The only non-cringe way to get married is to leave a flyer on a lamppost saying, "'I will be at the altar of St.

So-and-so's church at such-and-such a time, and then if anyone shows up, marry them before you see their face.'"

You're all overcomplicating this, says Lucy.

I just told Claude Code to find me a husband, and one showed up at my door the next day.

You spot your friend Nishin.

Hey, you joke.

What are you doing listening in?

I thought you were married.

Happily married and just had my first child, beams Nishin.

Congratulations, boy or girl?

Girl, says Nishin, but don't tell her that.

Oh, you're doing the thing where you raise your child without gender?

But I thought you were a trad-based right-winger.

I am, said Nasheen.

The problem is, I've looked at the transgender rate among kids in the Bay.

Not only is it high, but it keeps increasing.

Extrapolate the trend, and by the time my daughter is 18, there's a 96% chance she'll be trans.

but this is good, sort of, right?

As long as it's far enough from 50%, you have options.
