oh boy, I'm in the same boat. I've been looking up tutorials on how to re-do it recently, mine is beyond saving at this point.

I’m dealing with that plus having to seal the tile itself after a deep clean… very tempted to just gut it all 🤣

Battle cleaning grout today. At what point do you just go fuck it, I’m regrouting all this tile? #asknostr

Sounds like you’re already there!! 😂

My point is more that people are underestimating how much money goes into getting married. Taking a portion of that and handing it over in Bitcoin (rather than a big rock in the ring, for instance) would maybe be more sensible.

There's a lot of "wealth signaling" that doesn't contribute to lasting wealth.

We're sort of max-regarded now, as the groom is often expected to spend a ton of money on a fancy wedding and honeymoon. It's still true signaling, but it's basically just burning a pile of cash.

People are dropping over 0,5 Bitcoin on one party and it's like...

Or just give her the Bitcoin, bro.

Or maybe I'm just a spoilsport. 😂

The interaction between two people can lead to very different behaviors. People also behave very differently depending on their environment

also, I very much enjoyed our interaction at bitcoin park, it was great being able to get to know you and your doggo

I get that.

I've gotten wind of some crazy stuff, from both sexes, the last few months, so my divorce-outrage-faucet has run completely dry.

People seem so normal for decades and then... Ugh. No, you didn't.

yeah I'm in CEST. I might go out to party Friday evening.

I will put you in my calendar for friday evening and sunday.

Let's be in contact Friday evening!

That makes sense. I figured a cultural difference had to be at play. In the states I’m noticing a huge movement of men who have no interest in getting married because the woman can leave at any given point (and do in much higher numbers than the men) and basically bankrupt the men, along with depriving them of their children.

I’m not saying we don’t have bastards here that women need to be able to escape from, just that the pendulum seems to have swung a different direction here, which has caused that same skepticism on the other gender’s behalf.

As a side note, my wife’s desire to be a house wife was a pretty big part of my decision to propose. Her assistance at home unlocked a ton of freedom and even financial possibility for us.

There is more than one way to make sure a woman isn’t trapped. It was my initiative to make sure the land was jointly held, that she had access to the same accounts I did, and to make sure she stayed (geographically) close to her own family and was in regular contact with them. (Means and a place to go is essential to any woman attempting to escape an abusive situation) I would encourage any young woman to seek a man that does the same - and to consider the opposite a huge red flag.

It’s a comfort to me that she’s set up this way, as it removes a temptation to get away with any misbehavior or taking for granted - as I don’t have to worry about feeling like I could get away with it. If that makes any sense.

It might be later on Friday for you. Will you be on CEST?

Hmm I've been wondering what he's up to hehe

This Friday could work for me. Or Sunday. And for you?

Glad to hear you're well! 💜 How's it going with your counterpart?

When would suit you?

I'm doing very well, been healing my person a lot last couple weeks!

A woman who wouldn't receive a dowry is low-value, by definition.

I mean, there's a reason you didn't put a ring on it...

Thanks!

Wow had to look twice with your new pfp!

How have you been? 🫂

Starting today I have exactly 4 more weeks of research to finish my degree.

I am so done with it and want to focus on other stuff.
