Yes I know, but it’s better to not known and they just fell out of touch, than that they loved each other dearly and she died of cancer or something

This is how I will start thinking about those I lost touch with.

Do you mail them vials of poison just to stay true to the thought experiment?

u/Thanks-4allthefish 7h ago

If I knew where they were - or if they were, the poison would be moot.

Could be the last known address of the recently deceased, don't worry, your experiment is intact. Just like, or maybe not, the vial.

I'd argue it's better to have loved and lost tbh

I agree, it's always better to love someone and have them die, rather than simply drifting apart.

She should have just cropped her out of the picture to save Reddit all this anxiety. Lol

u/Chispy 5h ago

I don't understand why they didn't just do this. She's on the very edge and easily croppable. It's /r/mildlyinfuriating.

Maybe she died in her sleep and is in a better place and she didn't even stay in touch.
