I wonder why so many of them are lonely and why some have to become sex tourists to get laid? :thinking-about-it:

    or you could, you know, not spend 20k on a wedding and marry someone nice

    also true love naturally is just communal sharing of resources. really makes you think :soviet-heart:

      The "love is just chemicals therefore it is meaningless" and "all relationships are transactional" bazinga brains tend to be quite lonely, and deserve it.

        im kinda glad they're lonely cause the alternative is someone having to spend time with them

        Wait till these geniuses find out that they're just big wads of protein strands hobbling around through chemical combustion.

        Nothing Matters, Ergo Bitcoin really is the economist's guide to nihilism.

          LARPing as Spock and declaring that everything is chemicals and nothing "matters" is itself an emotional judgement made with chemical reactions. :think-about-it:

      I saw a thread on another website about what people spent on engagement rings and more than half said something over $5000. I was flabbergasted. I got my wife a nice custom non-diamond ring on Etsy for $150 and that included the band!

      The wedding industry is a scam and I will never suggest I couldn't have done things cheaper.

      But sometimes you just want to throw a big party and invite every last friend and family member you know to celebrate a big life event, and if you've got spare cash to do it... YOLO.

      If someone told me they'd trade my wedding day for an equivalently valued stock of bitcoins from 2014, I'd still probably say "Fuck bitcoin its a scam, I'd rather have this beautiful moment with my loved ones instead".

      also true love naturally is just communal sharing of resources.

      Communal sharing of resources is a thing you do with loved ones. But I think true love is a sign that you just want to spend time with one another. You don't need to have a penny to share in order to feel love.
