    That is true but I feel it’s still uneven. Assuming I want to be there, if I mess up they can just not invite me back.
    Those who set the rules (what ‘messing up’ even is) are still in a position of power over me in that sense - I can’t get them fired (those positions are paid) the same way they can just dismiss me.
    I am of course perfectly fine with this, and am not seeking to move up in the hierarchy. (But it is possible to do so.)

    Also you know literal volunteering, like for a charity.

    I volunteer at a non-profit on weekends, and that places me in a position of extremely little power, way below the board of directors and the executive director and I’m choosing to be there.

    I really just don’t get the original statement, not sure what it’s trying to say.

    For April Fools, Cards Against Humanity was literally selling diamond studded potatoes for $69.99 (USD) - and claimed a $1000 value, which I’m sure they would be at retail prices.

    The FAQ said they had thousands of them, but I didn’t get there in time.


  • Before I proposed, my (now)wife and I discussed this and we did some research, then went with Moissanite.

    She has a ring with a huge very shiny stone that doesn’t break when it hits something, and we both also still have some money left.

    It’s awesome that all these other options exist as well!

    (Similarly, we got married at home with a friend as an officiant* and only close family present. It was great.

    *He had earlier gotten himself ordained by mail so he could officiate the wedding of his own daughter.)
