I mean, sometimes we even call it oddities.

a microculture that each relationship builds its own culture over time.

When you're first meeting somebody over coffee, especially if it's like the same coffee place you usually go to sharing the same stats and figures, that's not much of a private culture that you're creating there.

That's an interview.

But if people are spending time together building those rituals and those in-jokes, that's often where a sense of compatibility comes from.

It's the thing that makes another person start to feel irreplaceable is that, well, but now we have a history.

And I don't know.

You can be kind of cynical about that and be like, well, like whatever.

You just like married whoever was nearby.

But I don't know.

I think it's kind of beautiful.

I think it's kind of great that this is what we do.

We're creatures that attach.

We're creatures that bond.

And if we're there with other people in person, I think most of us are kind of primed to do it.

It's an incredible fictional name for a basketball team.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's equally goofy.

The team names are very goofy.

And this is one thing that I push back on to maybe to some extent.
