This post showed up below a post showing a statistic of Lemmy losing users. Ironic.

I so dearly miss having multiple columns on the browsing page, so I can feel less like a Facebook user. Connect has been treating me well though and feels very familiar.

Non-tech background, currently a undergrad student, but formally trained office worker for secretary and business matters.

I expect some sort of ring, yes. Diamond though? please no! i prefer zirconia or black materials, even getting a tattoo sounds more intriguing. i told my partner that even a ring made of bubble gum wrapper would do. in terms of jewelry i own zirconia and nobody bats an eye, so why would i care either.

and yes, I’ve dated expensive, received expensive and bought expensive in the past. for my skin tone, mossanite and rose gold are far superior to diamonds and gold jewelry. it’s about being flattering after all.

I buy my body jewelry, earrings etc on AliExpress. Also buying Zirconia jewelry and gold plated works very well since there are hardly any premium charges. it’s also pretty much the only area of goods I’ve found where in 98,9% of the cases the product and materials used is exactly as advertised, meaning no oxidizing, radiation and magnet friendly, etc.

case in point: I’ve noticed nobody’s talking about motivational posters.

I’m sorry but I have to ask or it’ll bother me for the rest of my life: is it “the motte” (the moth in German), or “them otte”, like otter missing an r?
