-For legal reasons, couples who’re married or considering it, a clause could be included in a prenuptial or post-nuptial agreement. For those who are not, a cohabitation or a simple contract could be drawn up. This would legally bind both parties to the terms of the fund and provide a clear process for enforcement.

Let's say you leave the handling to a third party. How would one determine who is cheating, and what standard would one party have to reach in order to show that the other party has cheated? If you set the standard too high or too low, it either becomes ineffective or open to abuse, or both.

    Interesting idea; how is that enforceable? If it's based on trust, may I remind you that at least one side has cheated on the other

    It may not be a foolproof plan, but it can be structured in 2 ways.

    -For legal reasons, couples who’re married or considering it, a clause could be included in a prenuptial or post-nuptial agreement. For those who are not, a cohabitation or a simple contract could be drawn up. This would legally bind both parties to the terms of the fund and provide a clear process for enforcement.

    -As a financial deterrent, if it’s beyond legal enforceability, the plan is designed to make the act of cheating have a significant, immediate financial cost. The purpose isn't just to provide a safety net; it's to create a powerful disincentive. While it’s true that someone willing to cheat has already broken trust, the prospect of forfeiting a significant amount of their own money could make them reconsider.

    What happens if you break up normally mainly because you can't stand eachother?

    For breakups that happen for other reasons—like simply growing apart, fundamental disagreements, or no longer being able to stand each other—the fund wouldn't be triggered. In that scenario, the money would be divided fairly between both parties, perhaps split 50/50.
    The intention is to address the unique harm of betrayal, not to penalize a couple for a mutual decision to end the relationship."

    the way I'm reading this, it kinda assumes that infidelity is inevitable in a relationship. it kinda makes the relationship adversarial, almost.

    also, when do you stop? if you're in a relationship for 5 years, do you just have a trust worth, like, 20Gs that neither party has access to because neither has been unfaithful?

    For stopping, you could propose a cap on the total amount in the fund. For example, once the fund reaches a certain amount, like $10,000, you could stop contributing monthly. Or, you could introduce a rule where a portion of the fund could be used for specific relationship milestones, such as a down payment on a home or a significant trip, to ensure the money isn't just sitting there indefinitely. This would show that the fund is dynamic and can evolve with the relationship.

    For all you couples out there… the HIF (Heartbreak Insurance Fund) sounds like an interesting plan in my opinion from what I heard.

    If you ever should date, both of you should deposit ranging from $100-$150 dollars monthly into a joint account. And whoever gets cheated on, gets to walks away with the money.

    Good, you know what is not being shared. Use that to build the foundation of their differences. So the individuality could stem from physicality, place, people, preferences.

    And how intensely compared to the original? Is it refined first before being shared?

    The hive in my atual conclusion needs to be like a better developed "sense". The "us" how be a more frequently interchangeable pronun. I know that people can experience real sensorial things in religion. And if the hive organism uses something like this, it already can be feasible, if they have the literal sensorial parts dedicate to it. But to respond directly to the memory part. I would argue that the memory density will be more than us. Bc it will be already processed, the key things already optimized for memory absorption. The only curious thing is that professors would get lot more higher social respect and skill to do all the optimization of the information and memory.

    Here i did get off the rails. Originally I only thinked in a local level(up to 10-20 individuals). And considered emotions being shared, and then they can share something like a long term memory. Like an intuition. I not know how much memory it is. But considering how sort-like obvious intuitions appear to be, o will say that is the most compact. And then the another develops it, like testing... The thing it that in the memory, the emotion's that carry the meaning.

    Because they have consciousness. My idea was that communication limits make us misinterpret each other(what I mean isnt always what you understand) A hive mind, with neural empathy, could reduce that barreir; the hive processes emotions and social neds across scales, while the local individual remains autonomous in survival. Individuality matters because without it, the hive risks collapse if one mind can harm or "traumatize" the whole. Thanks the reply.

    So the main basis for them having individuality is necessity. So what could make local individuals distinct could be physical restrictions (strength or lack thereof, disability, etc), the environment they're in, or the people they would be interacting with. You also can consider what is being shared with the hive mind from the individual and work around that. Is it sensations being shared? emotions? experiences? And how intensely compared to the original? Is it refined first before being shared?

    "...Half-Life function somewhat like this. they're telepathic... but it's more of a network of individuals than a true hive mind."

    I just finished half-life past week but did not get deeper in the lore. But by what i just read they definitely can't be called "hive mind". Here the thing; the "Vortessence" by what i get is more like a way of communicating; like speak and do signal language at the same time. It increase the bandwidth, more can be said with less words. Thanks the reply.

    Oh i never noticed that I just thought the collars were what connected them to the hivemind I guess slave collars make more sense also had no idea there were non hostile ones I just shot on sight

    If you had to choose a best pool or comic of the year, what would it be?

    post #5151533 ¬( ⁰⏑⁰ ϶)ɞ this.

    probably top 2 best fanworks I've ever read, definitely top 1 single-source fanwork. honestly, probably one of my favorite pieces of media in general.

    it's not porn, and it's also super not for the faint of heart. but if you can stomach the subject matter it's really good.

    it also does an uncharacteristically good job at introducing all the players in the story compared to just about every other similar piece of fan media I've ever seen, to the point that you could go in entirely blind.

    a secondary choice would be this:
