The whole idea of single sided proposals feels weird as hell and kinda emotionally exploitive to me
Oh yeah. Proposals should never be the moment where you're actually asking and unsure of what your partner will say - that's just a recipe for heartbreak. Typically, you talk about feelings towards marriage in advance, and then once you're sure this is what both of you want then whoever the proposer is gets to do the fun little minigame of how they're gonna do it.

The whole idea of single sided proposals feels weird as hell and kinda emotionally exploitive to me.
In my experience, they're very rarely one-sided. The actual "popping the question" is a formality. The real proposal is when one or both partners decide to have the "Where is this relationship going?" conversation.
Maybe my partner and I are just freaks, but we were together for like 9 years before deciding it was a good time to just sign the papers so we hopped over to the clerks office
I mean, nine years is a long time. Once you've been co-mingling assets for two or three years, marriage is mostly about consolidation of paperwork. Even then, throwing a big party to make it official is fun. I won't argue that the money we threw at a wedding could have been better spent, but I don't regret inviting a bunch of friends and family to a big fancy party with some light religious overtones.
her family got straight up enraged at the way we did it
There's a lot of emotion bound up in weddings, and people see it as a kind of cultural milestone. When they don't get to participate in it - particularly parents and siblings - they're going to feel hurt and left-out. If my sister ran off to Vegas with her boyfriend and didn't say anything until the deed was done, I'd feel genuinely hurt that I didn't get so much as an invite.
But that's just family, for you.
We did a courthouse ceremony after 8 years cuz his new job had better insurance. Then we did a big party with family/friends and it was mostly fun
I literally can't imagine meeting someone this delusional in real life. I'm trying and I can't. The ship sailed on NFTs in like a week, man doesn't even have a Beanie Baby's excuse or something, he's just fucking stupid.
It has to be right? Surely no human being still thinks this in August 2021.
I lost a significant portion of my half of our savings in dogecoin
Jenna does not have an investing mind
:what-the-hell:
“She said I was TA” is this man using IATA speak in normal posts/conversations bc holy shit redditbrain
I read that as "i am a teachers assistant and therefore do not make much."
Crypto is a fucking cult at this point
If this isn't a bit (and I sincerely hope it is) then this woman deserves so much better than this
Or at least should never go in for a joint bank account with him
The only solution is to sabotage his shuttle and blame it on the Dominion
ngl when Vreenak hissed that line and they went to commercial, I was seriously concerned for the future of the Federation. It was a great TV moment. Back when we had those.
I watched the DVD years later, and it skipped the commercial break and went right on with the show. It robbed the moment of much of its gravitas. Probably the only time I ever missed the ads for dog food and real estate agents.

blood diamonds aren't enough anymore, I demand from my suitors an additional $3,000 in proof of environmental destruction.
Well done. This is one of the ones where I just could not push myself to read past the title. And I consume ultra-liberal stuff for fun. It's nice to get myself worked up now and again. But judging from the title, no human being should have to live with the knowledge that this kind of person exists. The last time I had this kind of reacttion was when I tried to watch a video about climate change that started with the claim that "as we all know, we have already decoupled CO2 emissions from economic growth."
I can’t believe I’ve never seen PPB in it’s singular emoji form. It’s beautiful.
Have we gotten PPB onto the news before? And if not, how do we go about doing this?
I have no answers, but you better believe that I would like the answers as well. Brilliant questions.
according to the graph on https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/DOGE-USD/ you'd have to be really really really bad at cryptocurrency to have lost a significant portion. You'd have to have bought at the peakiest of peaks (May 7th, 2021) and sell at the troughiest of troughs (Jun 21, 2021), and in that case you'd have lost around ~50%.
It follows that somebody who just borked their life savings on Investment 101 parables like this would also blow their savings on a digital beany baby then act confused when their SO is mad.

With the degree of volatility in the crypto market, it is comically easy to buy high and sell low. Also very easy to stick your money in an Mt.Gox equivalent, only to find you've been cleaned out during a dip.
Yes, if you invested in it under a buy-and-hold strategy via a reputable exchange as of a year or more ago, you'd be doing well.
But I doubt that's what this guy did.
Proposing to my partner with a jpeg printout of a ring would have more substance than any NFT on Earth
