The article discusses how single people’s expectations about romantic relationships relate to their satisfaction with being single and their likelihood of entering a relationship in the future. It highlights gender differences in expectations and shows that higher anticipated intimacy can reduce singlehood satisfaction and increase the chance of pursuing partnership, while negative expectations have limited long-term benefits.

This topic matters for psychology enthusiasts because it links cognitive and affective expectations with behavioral outcomes across the course of singlehood and relationship formation, illustrating how beliefs can shape lived experiences over time.

🌟 Expectations 🐾

As I start writing this, it's only one more night till the coming of Koa. I have tried to be prepared as best as I could. Tried to puppy proof things I the home. Tried to order enough food and snacks for him. Tried to get enough toys for him to play with. I got a new harness and leash, and a longer training leash. I cleaned things as best as I could. And... I tried to read as much as I could to "revive" my knowledge again. A change of my routine, to adjust to Koa. He is used to a schedule now, and I don't want to disturb it too much, when his whole world is already turned upside-down. I have canceled some appointents, I won't go to the gym for a while, I have asked kind folks to "puppy-sit" Koa, so that I can go to some appointments, which are too important to cancel. I am excited. I an anxious. And, I am also a bit scared... […]

A quotation from Samuel Johnson

Pleasure is very seldom found where it is sought. Our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks. The flowers which scatter their odours from time to time in the paths of life, grow up without culture from seeds scattered by chance.

Even after being crowned champions, the Vancouver Rise believe there's room for growth, amid high expectations. "I think there for sure is that little bit of pressure going into the second season," says star midfielder Quinn.

> FOSS has a very unfortunate weak spot in its foundation, that being the idea that “free” implies “without ownership” rather than “equitably shareable”

💯! Just dropped a #meme depicting how #SX considers #FOSS: https://social.coop/@smallcircles/116433599463361421

#Equity is the word. I wrote a blog on #SharedOwnership earlier: https://coding.social/blog/shared-ownership

Note, that "libertarianism" is emergent, comes with scale. I avoid the term for its political heat it often introduces, and how that stifles #solution-orientation.

> I make product actually meet the users’ needs, cuz damn, you didn’t!

It's funny how actual #Needs are often totally unknown, esp. in FOSS. The #technology then quickly exists mostly for the sake of itself. Damn the externalities.

Social coding commons defines FOSS as the pure software artifact. Code + an open license. Period. All the rest is #SocialCoding where all #expectations we have are either implied and unjustified, or warranted with mutual understanding. The latter is hardly done.
