    I don’t care who is to blame, I’m just glad the carbon garbage industry is dying.

    Fuck the diamond cartel up the ass.

    I bought an engagement ring many years back for around $2600 and when we broke up I went to a pawn shop and they offered $60 for the gold, the diamonds weren’t worth a thing.
