Say this is actually real and not a service designed to steal idiots credit cards, these ladies would have to be perfectly skilled. You'd have to pretend to be just skilled enough, but not any better than the guy. Unless they like being humiliated

I have to imagine there's some sort of in-game emote that will also step on your character's balls if you pay enough.

Every man that’s ever bought a diamond engagement ring has to turn into gemologist cause if you’re gonna be spending a stupid amount of money for a shiny rock you want to learn enough to not get completely swindled.

My friend proposed to his highschool sweetheart right after we graduated because she said get a ring or we're done. He listened to the sales person when the guy said "three months salary on a ring is traditional" and spent something insane like $3,500 on the ring. She said no and dumped him, and then we mocked him for listening to the guy who works on commission

I know someone who did that and the guy, who was an unambitious loser, said "gently caress it" and left.

She found someone shortly after and they were quickly married because he appeared to be a catch, but it turns out that he's basically another loser who is just better with people.

They are fantastically miserable.

Obviously, but at least I can sell my shiny rock for most of my money back in a pinch if I needed too.

It’s also insured under a personal artifact policy because my wife is notorious for losing things so insurance fraud is also an option.

Permanent marriage should be discarded and replaced with renewable two-year domestic partnership contracts.

I'm reminded of Subnautica where corporate lit encourages treating relationships as contractual and then you get the relationship version of a zero hour contract

An insurance claim is the only way you'll even get close to recouping "most" of its value. Wedding rings are basically worthless on the secondary market.

We're not?
if your significant other wants a semi-precious gem for a ring then at least buy a lab grown one because they’re a good amount cheaper and the only way to tell the difference is that the lab grown ones are too perfect to be naturally occurring

We actually did get a payout on the wedding band which was stolen out of my wife’s car a couple years ago and we just never replaced it because gently caress it. She still has the engagement ring which is worth far more.

Can be entirely different contract
from standard marriage.

7 year lease. At the end, both parties get together and decide whether the want to renew. Keeps everyone on their toes.

Airpods seem like such a weirdly bad idea to me, like here's these tiny-rear end things that have to be battery powered from a tiny-rear end battery, and even better they can easily fall out of your ear and be lost forever, oh and also they cost like $200

Is there some actual selling point besides "apple says they're cool so they're cool, buy them"?

apple is fast fashion in the form of consumer electronics

it doesn't matter that airpods are disposable because the battery is not replaceable without destroying the thing, you're expected to get the next year's model anyway

disposable electronics need to be banned

edit: e-waste and plastics, together at last
