  • That advice was likely a holdover from the time when wedding rings were essentially insurance for the wife if her husband died suddenly - sell the ring and be able to live for a while on that money while you search for a new husband.

    Now that women are, y’know, allowed to work for a living rather than being forced into homemakers, it makes a lot less sense for the wedding band to be outside of one’s means to purchase.

    I just tell people to buy what looks nice to them and is in budget. My wife has a gold band with some inscribed decorations, and I have a band of silver and inlayed meteorite. They were both under $1000. No need for flawless diamonds, rare stones or precious metals. We’re happy.

    It’s not really that surprising that Trump would request a cameo considering they used one of his hotels for filming.

    The thing that I have never been able to get over is how the guy who live in a luxurious penthouse suite and shits on a gilded toilet, that has built his entire brand identity about being a rich douchebag somehow convinced people that he was a champion of the common man, as if he has literally anything in common with the average American whatsoever. I still burn even today when I think about how stupid people are to have fallen for it in the first place.

    Now any criticism of him is automatically political, because he got elected to the most important job in the nation. Even criticism of him before he became a politician is being reframed as just disgruntled Democrats trying to tear down Trump.

    I hate him. So much.
