    I know exactly where My soulmate is. He is at home, in bed, watching movies and playing video games with his pets. It's a paradox really beacause to be my soulmate he can not like going out, parties and people (in general) and that means we will never meet.

    A real soulmate would probably challenge some of your biases. It isn't about finding someone just like you, it is about finding someone complementary.

    If they're your soulmate, by definition, everything they do is really important. Incidentally, that's why I dislike the idea of soulmates. It's predestination, but for interpersonal relationships

    You know what, you're right. The more I think about it the more I have to admit that we couldn't really have free will and that level of predestination

    I don’t know, I think it depends on if you include the origin of soulmates in the definition you use. If you define soulmates as people that were made for each other, then yeah I suppose that creation is out of their hands while defining who they are (and maybe implying that something/someone did the creating). When I think of soulmates I tend to think of persons that are perfectly suited to be together without necessarily needing a cause for it.

    It would seem unlikely that every person has a soulmate or that every set of soulmates would meet each other, but it seems possible for such people to become perfect for each other through free will.

    Also as a tangent, I misspelled it as ‘soupmate’ in the dictionary at first, and if I had a soulmate we would probably be soupmates too :P

    Or... maybe predestination is true in the sense that the universe is just physics and therefore theoretically calculable. I suppose that's less romantic though.

    Quantum physics says that it is entirely calculable, in that every option is happening simultaneously at every instant. It would just take a billion years to calculate a standing glass of water, at our current level of development.

    Quantum physics also agrees with chaos theory, to a degree, though, in that matter behaves in very strange ways, and at atomic and sub atomic levels behave in potentially completely random ways. So, fuck it all, love the one you're with.

    The “spooky action from a distance” of quantum phenomena like entanglement fully supports this attitude as the default. Every realized/observed/actual reality necessarily coalesces/collapses every superposition into congruency.

    In short, retcon: the universe is retroactively continuitous. So the one you’re with is always who you were “predestined” to be with.

    That is absolutely wild, last night plans fell through with my girlfriend and I chose to stay in and literally united the Roman Empire in 1250 BC in CK3.

    Like after months of playing here and there, took 400+ in game years to go from a low born adventurer house to the house the rules the empire of Rome.

    Not SPQR Roman Empire, actually a modified buddhist sect that is both communal, atheistic, and militaristic.

    This game is so wildly intricate

    And she checks on him by saying "deuce vault" and waiting for a response.

    Relevant Tim Minchin song about the concept of soulmates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn6gV2sdl38

    Expecting to meet a soulmate is an unreasonable ridiculous expectation in the first place.

    This comic depicts two horrible people who absolutely deserve each other.
