Building a marriage on dishonesty isn't a good idea. And getting it appraised is perfectly acceptable given that it's a good idea to insure expensive jewelry. You also don't need to be a professional to tell a moissanite from a diamond. The biggest indicator is that a moissanite will be...

Don't do it.

Oh get the fuck out of here and go live in the woods somewhere.

Take her to see some moissanite before you use too many words to convince her.

I've never seen Eomer brag about money.

Not surprised Gavinrad did everything he could to shut that shit down as soon as possible. He's one of the most jealous trolls I've ever known.

False.

There's massive differences in quality between a CZ and a moissanite/diamond. Basically CZ looks like shit. And draegan I doubt the moissanite company is even public. Not that I'd buy into their stock. Their business model is dependent on scientists not being able to make diamond production...

There's actually been a huge uproar in reddit talking about his fucking eye switching from left to right. Which made the fact that the played the mirror joke again in the last episode hilarious. Merkins why are you following Lyrical around posting random dudes of color quoting him?

Do you say hi / try to talk to admin/reception every day when you walk in the door? What about when you pass people in the halls moving about your business? It depends on your personality and preference. Personally I always greet people by their name. People like hearing their name and they're...

Sorry to be a negative nancy but I can't imagine ever sharing my wife or violating our fidelity so openly.

Here's an important distinction: If you settle on a budget for a ring you can get a vastly better ring if you go with moissanite. If you're normal and want to spend $2000 on a ring you can get a very forgettable and unimpressive diamond ring or you can get an incredible setting (Or in my case a...

between having a digital library that'll never get destroyed vs a bunch of physical copies I can masturbate on I'll take the digital copies. That being said I've kept all my game manuals in my closet and the only thing keeping me from arguing with my wife about how cluttered our closet is, is...

Yeah I don't think telling your woman you're not getting her a diamond is a materialism test as much as an intelligence and independent thinking test, or in many cases simply an information test. If all a woman has heard is that diamonds are far apart the best clear stone then it's not her fault...

Gentlemen, exhibit A: The result of good marketing. Diamonds weren't used commonly until the 1930s when DeBeers launched a massive marketing campaign to usurp tradition. A few decades later and now a shit-gem is an irreplaceable part of a naive bride's concept of tradition...

This kind of salesmanship works against them when the customer is informed. If you educate a buyer on the common lies told by salesmen their words sound as sinister venom to ones ears. This is especially true with such trivial and discrete evidence like a fucking rock. Show a woman a moissanite...

I find this really hard to believe. Virtually all the big department stores (Kohls, JCPennies etc) and half of the shit mall stores carry moissanite.

Yeah I've never heard of a woman asking how much a ring costs. Maybe that's more prevalent in the circles Xequecal is in, and I could see it being more common in a social circle where a 25,000USD+ ring is common (Where asking how much it costs is a gift of an opportunity to brag. There's a few...

http://diamondssuck.com/ (diamond is on the right, moissanite left) Bottom line: Diamonds are for suckers. They're not very rare gems nor are they that special. It's all bullshit. Women are pretty susceptible to stupid jewelry purchases, which you'll examine for yourself when Etoille...

I'm not sure if that'll happen but at this rate I think there's a good chance. Only problem is a kid acting as a silent guardian is somewhat believable because all he needs to do to fight is shoot everything in the face. If a kid became the leader it'd be way too unbelievable because he'd have...

I'm surprised that Sony would be so sloppy with their online game sales. I wonder if there's clauses they signed with big brick and mortar stores that prevent them from lowering their prices below release day value.

ftfy Actually I think DFW has calmed down a bunch in the last year or two. Maybe since the Fox News deal, or maybe since his health problems. Either way he's running a business and most of the contentious decisions the UFC has made have been either favoring good business (Canning great but...

I'd like to know also.

His wife found out, I cleansed the thread. Tyen has basically been closely following RR posts since the forum started and since he can't post her makes fake facebook accounts to sabotage our contests. It's a little creepy but still pretty funny that the bot-master strikes back. Sorry for your...

Then keep scurrying in ineffective revolt if your hands are too thin-skinned to grasp the rough broom of moderation.

I wouldn't be against Keg being a mod if a vote was passed in his favor.

-1 for depp +1 for DiCaprio.

You're probably right. I watched the show before I read the first book but I remember Tyrion being very likable in the books also.

I run at 1900x1200 and am just fucking with you. I agree with you and Shabado that 720 vs 1080 aren't a big deal for most users. Hitting 60fps is so critical though. It's hard to play games that are so fucked that I can't get a reliable 60fps.

I don't understand, what do you do with the other 480 rows of pixels?

I sometimes wonder if GRRM didn't intend Tyrion to be so likable and if he's rethought the character based on watching Peter Dinklage own the role like a boss. Same goes for any other character really.

What the fuck is 720p?

Agree 100%. Jon and Daenarys are being built as the true heroes of the book and they're the only characters who are much less likable on TV than in the book. What makes that perhaps more acceptable is that iirc those episodes that deviated from the book the most regarding Jon Snow were the ones...

Book 3 is really where Daenerys starts to shine even though I think she slides in books 4 and 5. I think we'll see whether the show's directors and actors can make her non-annoying but we'll see.

Either way I agree she's fucked. And if you don't like the simulated sex you're watching the wrong show. This show has more soft core porn than any show I've seen.

Let's not forget

Counterfeit toothbrush heads, now I've heard it all.

Anyone using the Dragonborn DLC with a bunch of mods?

Did you not see the mythbuster's "treadmill"? Because they did just that. And they found a pilot who didn't think the plane would take off and he ate crow as soon as he landed.

Sony's big partnership montage with all the logos turns out to be bullshit http://www.joystiq.com/2013/02/25/so...wn-from-53-to/
