Relationship and getting one thread

[Old Tyrannia]

If you want to make a diamond ring feel special, have a family member's ashes turned into a diamond. It's a thing.

I've always found that kind of creepy, to be honest.

How do I get a woman if I'm socially inept, emotionally stunted, sexually depraved and physically repulsive? Thanks in advance for the input.

Cash, lots of it. Getting ugly men laid with beautiful women since the beginning of the monetary system.

Find a woman who fits exactly that description, and if they're desperate for a relationship they'll be easy pickings.

Is there a form of rare rock that you would spend money on? Would you do it anyway if your SO really wanted a diamond?

Before DeBeers managed to create a market for their product, the most popular gems were rubies and sapphires. I'd probably opt for the lab grown equivalents. The entire point is that to the naked eye, there is virtually no difference between an artificial and a natural diamond. One takes 6 to 10 weeks to produce under lab conditions, while the other takes a million or so years to come up to the surface of the earth but has more imperfections. I just do not see a downside.

If synthetic diamonds become commonplace and accepted among consumers the DeBeers company will be in deep trouble. They once had a monopoly on diamond manufacture, then a near monopoly before coming down to having 80% of that market. It will only get worse for them. Odds are good that should supply and demand catch up, diamonds are going to plummet in value and become really affordable. This will have some applications in computer manufacturing. Able to withstand much higher temperatures than silicon.

I agree entirely with your assertion about DeBeers. They were really clever in their control of the diamond market. I watched a documentary on CNBC that showed some massive vaults DeBeers kept where they just bought up the supply of diamonds. I've already heard Zales and Tiffany's are suffering losses as the current generation doesn't like diamonds but prefers experiences. I think their entire model of doing business will be up in smoke soon enough. Attacked from both the demand and the supply side, I don't see much of a future for them.

I think one day that synthetic diamonds will become accepted among consumers. I am partial to sapphires myself if I had to choose between the lot.

Get out of my mind, that's for me.

Unless you're going to leave some freaky porn in there.

And I guess prime cuts from hunted animals before that.

I don't know if I've just been induced to do this by reading what you've said, but I agree a little bit.
Although what I really think of is the Corellian Sanctuary on Coruscant- where all dead expat Corellian humans' ashes were, after being made into diamonds, stored and put up into stars on the walls and ceiling like constellations.
How expensive is it to get the ashes compressed anyway?

[The East Marches]

I was thinking on the thread and I get the feeling that many of the poster seem to think that women are some sort of "other". Ignoring certain truths that apply to all people regardless of gender.

That was and probably still is my problem.
I've almost resigned myself to being "forever alone" but what the fuck can you do when you're fucking grounded and half your schoolmates are taking off to the Coasts or something?

One day you will be ungrounded, have hope my friend.

Yeah... that sounds very bloody odd, like imagine if someone offered you a ring that was made from the ashes of their dead grandmother or something, it would freak me the fuck out.

Thanks. But really I just need the willpower to go to bed on time, that's why I'm grounded.
Which reminds me of something else I have to do, so I'm going to be vacating this computer.

I want a big chunk of marble to wear on my finger.

Get out of the genetic experimentation lab and possibility call for a squad of military elites+a protagonist.

I actually once had a decent relationship with someone I met on NS, but that's a completely different story.

But I mean like actual sites or apps meant for that kind of thing.

I think if I was referring to myself as the dense dude I wouldn't even be posting since I know what the issue is.

The issue with the bar is that people, myself included, often get drunk beyond making good decisions.

And it ain't too hard to get yourself halfway around the world these days.

I hope it wouldn't be anything related to the Byzantines or Voltaire for my sake.
