What should I consider when getting rings?

I never paid attention in science class, but I have been reading that silver tarnishes, platinum is hard to work with so thats more labour. White gold needs to be replated.

I'd like to buy engagement wedding rings for my fiancée and I.

She said she wants gold. I wanted platinum but she said she wants the rings to match. I'll gladly take some gold/platinum combination.

I have also heard that jewelers don't recomend mall Jewellery stores. I heard mall Jewellery stores are the equivalent of axe body spray of Jewellery.

I don't know how to find a good jewler.

Did I do something wrong

I was riding down this bike lane and I noticied a bike was coming in behind me farily fast. I simply stopped peddaling and I let my bike slow down on it's own. I was aiming for this area circled bevause I always leave my bike there. Those high vis cones arent there anymore. The bike behind me aproached me from behind and seemed to have no intention of slowing down even though I could tell they were gaining up on me and they could most definitely tell that they were gaining up on me, even if they couldnt tell i was slowing down. So I arrive at the red circle and the person behind said some nasty comment, but I didnt hear them properly or they didnt speak English? Idk. But they sounded furious and they waived their palm at as they kept going past me.

Should I feel betrayed?

I worked at a liquor store and I was a cashier. The rule is that you have to ID the people who handle and/or show interest in alcohol if you feel they are 25 or under.

So there was these young pair, A guy and a chick. The guy had ID but she didn't. So I said sorry I can't sell to you, you were handling alcohol. She got noticeably angry and was determined to stand her ground but I wasnt having it. A coworker of mine overheard the standoff and she intervened and for god knows why, she sided with them and she told me to let them make the purchase. I honestly felt fairly humiliated.

About three months later I went there as a customer. I didn't have my ID and I didnt sweat it because they all know me. So I show up and they had a cashier from another store come in to cover, I had never seen her in my life. And she asks for my ID. I'm thinking "are you fking serious." I turn to two of my coworkers and they just kinda found it funny, shrugged and kept their heads down. The coworker who intervened last time wasnt there. I left empty handed.

b/waiters bans you if you talk about not tipping

I made a post and I had no idea about it. When they were talking about the waiter's behavior, they said the waiter just wants tips. I said i go there all the time and i never tip.

The ban is absolute. No appeals, no buts, cant say the slightest hint about not tipping.

Banned from having a knife.

I was working as a temp in a warehouse. On my second day i asked a guy if he had a knife i could borrow. He says "nah im banned from having a knife."

He said it with an absolute straight face. I was absolutely surprised. Other people had knives on them.

When he wasnt around I bursted out laughing about it.

Self deporting to a country that isnt your own?

My colombian girlfriend and I plan to get married in the USA. I am dual mexican-canadian citizen. She has overstayed her tourist visa in usa for several years. I convinced her to come live in mexico with me shortly after we get married. But she concerned she might get detained on her way out.

Is this guy an AH

​

I met this guy online nearly two years ago, I wasn't expecting much. We talked a lot, spent hours on video calls, laughed together, flirted, and over time I started developing real feelings for him.

From the beginning, he was honest about one thing: he said he was still in love with his ex. He even showed me a picture of them together and told me he was still trying to find her because they lost contact. As the months went by, we kept getting closer, and I started liking him more.

We never met in person, but we spent so much time talking that it still felt meaningful to me. I let myself imagine that maybe he was moving on, even if he never actually said he was.

Then one day, I saw that his profile picture had changed. It was him with his ex. They had gotten back together.

Does the US/CBP/ICE control who leaves the US or not?

I have been reading "ohhh if you overstay and then try to self deport, they will detain you. There are exit checkpoints, just for overstaying" Bla bla bla

And then i equally read "ohh no, you are doing them a favor, they would would hold the door open for you if they could. Unless there's a warrant for you or something, they are more than happy to watch you make your own way out."

So which is it?

My girlfriend wants a gold ring because she likes the gold color. I want platinum because platinum is my favorite pokemon game and because apparently it's less maintenance but more expensive. What's our best bet?

How much do you think the repetitiveness of fire and ash will affect the franchise?

We all know fire and ash got criticized for being repetitive.

I even read some people making comments online like " it's not worth watching, because it's too repetitive."

The filmmakers even reused footage from twow.

Do you think fire and ash would've made much more money had it been more innovative. Do you think avatar 4 and maybe 5 will have people hesitating to go watch them?
