Definitely consider not buying a diamond. I went with a sapphire ring (on sale at the time), got a giant rock that all of her friends love, and paid much, much less than I would have.

Counterpoint: engagement rings are literally an invention of the diamond industry to make themselves money and you shouldn’t get one.

I’m so lucky my wife hates to wear any jewelry. Instead, we took the money I would have spent on a stupid ring and made a nice down payment on a house.

I was listening to a Reality Steve interview recently, and he said that they really look at people’s social media presence. He said that was one of the things going for Jojo over Caila for Bachelorette, that Jojo had way more Instagram followers.

That’s why everybody hates me

I will vote for Hillary. I don’t like her, but I will vote for her. First, because she does have the experience and credentials to do the job. Second, because as much as I don’t like her - the things I don’t like about her won’t cripple the nation or otherwise cause civil disorder or collapse. She is a military hawk,…

Agreed on all counts. I was a Bernie supporter but #ImWithHerNow

Wanting to share that I have been a Bernie supporter, but I am so very proud to be voting for, and supporting Hillary Clinton. I did tear up at the end of the roll call, because I was proud that Sanders did the right thing and pledged his support to Clinton.

Bernie pulled the party platform significantly to the left. This was a big accomplishment, and something that means a lot to those of us that support a social-democrat platform over a traditional machine democrat platform. He was tactful and well-spoken tonight, carefully aligning his campaign goals with the new party…

DNC shenanigans aside, the difference in tone between the two conventions has never been clearer. Look at Michelle’s speech - full of hope and positivity, compared to... well, anyone’s speech at the RNC, full of fear, hate, ignorance, lies, and violence. Sigh.

Was it just me, or did she look/sound a little emotional when she said the line about her daughters being able to take for granted that a woman could be president? I don’t know why, but I wasn’t expecting that from her. Not because I don’t think Michelle would care about big milestones in women’s achievement, but just…

These are the kinds of threads and comments that make me really hate reading Jezebel sometimes. I’m not a white male, and I’d be chanting right alongside those people if I were at the convention. I guess the voices of non-white, non-male protesters don’t count. They are literally never acknowledged. It’s been this way…

I was a Bernie supporter, now a Hillary supporter, whether I like it or not. I don’t understand Rothkopf’s derision re Bernie supporters, as if we/they are all a bunch of hick doofus bros with weed stuck in our nostrils. We/some-of-they are not stupid, and probably more politically educated than Rothkopf, tbh. PS-…

Warmongering is not progressive. Doing coups is not progressive. Supporting corporate interest that go against the public interest is not progressive.

Why do his tweets almost always start off like, “Sad!” “Angry!” “Confused!”? Yay, you can name a state of being?

I don't think Bernie can take credit for progressives hating Hillary. That kind of goes with being progressive.

He was being sarcastic, he knows perfectly well that “Bernie Bros” were never a thing and the core of Sanders’ support wasn’t as lily-white and male as Clinton supporters and Jezebel kept trying to pretend.

“we’re excited for Hillary and need to unify for her.”

You can say that. Many of us are not.

I think it should piss you off whether you voted for him or not, as it was indeed shitty.
