  • Damn, one of these without a “fake and gay” explanation, and I’m too tired to think of a good one. I’ve never gotten to be the fake and gay guy, and I’m missing my chance D:

    But anyway, as others have said, lab grown, vintage, there are other options.

    But has anyone considered a rock that doesn’t just look like glass? There are so many cool rocks out there, people! I’d literally rather have a piece of quartz that my SO and I found together turned into a ring than I would have a piece of a much fancier/“valuable” stone that I have no attachment to.

    When my parents got married, they had gone gem mining at one of those places with the troughs of dirt, and you pan it yourself. They found some rubies, and had wedding rings made from those. How fucking cool is that? Way cooler than a thing you have no connection to, I think.











  • Former smoker, current vaper. I know inhaling anything other than clean air isn’t good for me, and I know nicotine addiction isn’t good. I plan on quitting, and I’m making decent progress to that point.

    But it bugs the shit out of me when people try to act like it’s worse than cigarettes. It’s not. Shitty Chinese vapes marketed to kids that we don’t know the ingredients of? Sure, ban em. Black market vapes made in some dudes garage with oil? Absolutely track em down and end that man’s whole career.

    But properly made, regulated vape juice in a rebuildable tank? Leave me the fuck alone. Please. Please do not take the thing that has helped millions of people quit smoking!

    Can you link me any decent articles to help the next time someone says some dumb reactionary shit?




  • Huh! TIL. I had that for years and years on both feet, then one day it snagged on a pair of jeans as I was putting them on and the one on my right foot got ripped out. Hurt like crazy and bled like you wouldn’t believe. Still have the left one, but the right never grew back. Always wondered why, and I guess the answer is it had its own nail bed and I ripped that out
