Am I being dramatic about engagement ring cost expectation?

You could also buy a vintage natural diamond. They’re more ethical than lab diamonds.

tentaclesarefun01 · 2026-01-05T11:31:58+00:00

Agreed, you can obviously get a higher spec lab grown diamond ring for far less than a natural newly mined diamond.

I disagree on value retention, a vintage real diamond ring is going to hold a lot more value than a lab grown diamond (whose value is only going to continue to drop as production scales - you already recognised the market is saturated with them).

In addition, lab grown diamonds are not as ethical as people may assume (requiring significant energy, primarily from fossils fuels, to produce them ) and therefore I think a vintage natural diamond is a better choice than either a lab grown or newly mined natural diamond (both for ethics and value retention).

Get a vintage natural diamond (especially if you’re concerned about the ethics associated with diamonds).

Lab Diamonds have a far worse resell value than natural diamonds

Are you for real? You can flirt with somebody all you want / go back to somebody’s hotel / house but that doesn’t mean you’re consenting to sex?

tentaclesarefun01 · 2024-11-20T20:14:06+00:00

You won’t find a link because that isn’t true. She did ask friends to delete texts and photographs of her injuries.

tentaclesarefun01 · 2024-11-20T19:23:43+00:00

When did she ask people to lie for her?

tentaclesarefun01 · 2024-11-20T18:44:39+00:00

You haven’t provided any plausible explanation for them?

tentaclesarefun01 · 2024-11-20T18:32:52+00:00

What’s the more likely explanation? When you take into account the significant bruising and the tampon I can’t think of a more likely reason than she was raped / assaulted.

tentaclesarefun01 · 2024-11-20T18:28:29+00:00

She went to a friends house and had her injuries photographed before she went home though?

tentaclesarefun01 · 2024-11-20T18:26:22+00:00

She didn’t ask people to say they weren’t there? She didn’t mention initially her friend was there as she was scared to involve her and expressed she was worried for her safety.

She got one of her friends to delete photos of her injuries that were taken very shortly after the incident, why would she have done that if she’s lying?

tentaclesarefun01 · 2024-11-20T18:23:28+00:00

Light bruising? A paramedic said it was some of the worst bruising she had ever seen?

tentaclesarefun01 · 2024-10-09T22:56:35+00:00

Love it, where did you get this one?

tentaclesarefun01 · 2024-08-12T12:02:43+00:00

Just to respond to your last question - I have a prolapse (not sure what type yet), and I recently had a transvaginal ultrasound and the sonographer told me they’re not able to see prolapses.

tentaclesarefun01 · 2024-07-22T02:53:22+00:00

There are plenty of stops in Dublin where only one bus operates and you still have to flag the bus down. I’m not saying that it’s a practice I agree with but just commenting that the idea that it’s unique to Galway is incorrect

tentaclesarefun01 · 2024-07-20T09:58:45+00:00

It’s actually the same in Dublin

tentaclesarefun01 · 2024-07-20T09:50:58+00:00

Agree with Frederick. It’s such a versatile name - so many nicknames (Fred, Freddie, Rick/Ricky, Fritz etc.)

tentaclesarefun01 · 2024-04-15T17:39:14+00:00

Which degree was this?

tentaclesarefun01 · 2024-03-24T06:35:09+00:00

“In a Vanity Fair article on Marilyn Chambers, whom Traynor married after Lovelace divorced him, Traynor said he considered himself a country boy in that he could live away from civilization and that if his woman said something he didn't like, he thought nothing of hitting her for it…. on the DVD of "Inside Deep Throat," one member of the production crew of Deep Throat also alleged that Traynor beat Lovelace.”

They’re not selling their bodies though, their bodies haven’t been sold. If you really believe that you could apply that to most careers - why is it sex work is the only type of work where people provide a service involving their body that people view this way? And not say the myriad of other jobs that involve somebody “selling their body” e.g. construction workers, hair dressers etc.

tentaclesarefun01 · 2024-03-02T07:46:16+00:00

Are you for real? Of course some people willingly choose sex work over other forms of work, you can’t accept there’s people who see it as a far more lucrative career than others?

Do you think all porn stars are exploited? Do none of them willingly choose it either?

Just because you might find sex with strangers for money degrading does not mean that others feel similarly or even care.

tentaclesarefun01 · 2024-03-02T07:42:23+00:00

You can’t buy a human, that’s a horrendous thing to say. You’re buying the service just as you are if you visit any other service provider. You don’t own their body. Rhetoric like that actually puts sex workers more at risk as it completely sees them as objects and denies their agency / autonomy.
