I’m glad you guys are happy, but I’d want the foundation for trust to be my dedication to my partner, rather than my lack of ambition to socialize irl. -Ideally, and obviously things are rarely ideal.

So what is it now?

Edit: omg, it’s back to HBO Max.

Best part

That’s all in the linked wikipedia article
