It can still be worse,

I once overheard a group of kindergarteners continually yelling “Skibidi toilet” at repeat.

Do you play Minecraft?

I have yet to watch it but i assume there is very little to connect with if you don’t?

Depending on how old your kids are and if you are not already playing, playing on a local server together is great family time and can provide situations for real bonding aswell as real world educational discussions.

All materials obtained just to turn it into jewellery is loss yes.

Mine is a gold alloy rather then pure and i am very fond of it. I derive pleasure from it everyday while the total loss was significantly less than the one in Bezos marriage.

We also had an engagement ring which has an industrial rock because no way where we going to waste our limited money on a real diamond.

All rings combined costs less than having a birth in a US hospital.

Both rings were still a loss to the planet, just like almost every novelty i own and many things i consume. Staying alive is a destructive action and all humans cause loss. That is normal and ok. What is not ok is not being aware/inconsiderate of it.

We should all strive to create the least amount of loss we are aware off and my older self having grown significantly then when i married would love a ring made from recycled computer metals which now often end up on a landfill.

Normal milk is still mostly water so basically everything turns in some kind of dense rancid cheese?

So really that ring is pure loss.

No one owned that gem when it was just sitting in the ground. It took millions of years to create.

Some capitalism claimed it when one of his workers mined it. Calculated how much energy and labor it has costs to obtain it.

Then sold it for a massive markup compared to their own costs.

The machines have spend energy to get it (loss)

The workers spend life time and life energy to get it (loss)

Bezos his works spend their life time and energy to make him the money he now loses on this ring. (Loss)

The planet lost one of its rare gems. (Loss)

No lives are going to be saved using that rock, its not going to be used for breakthrough science, its not in a museum where we the people can admire our planet and learn from the its amazing processes. (No profit)

Instead its to decorate a hand so one person can be perceived as having value. Ironic.

They know to never use from your own supply. They know the downsides and admit openly that organics remain more reliable.

The one ripper i recall that did have chrome only did because she was attacked by a customer who chopped of her arm.

I believe humanity is still very naive about our own brain, hormones and pheromones affect wildly understudied.

I am convinced every person regardless of sex have cycles running all the time, its just usually a lot more subtle and blended in with everything else affecting us.

There might even be an argument that female menstruation is only so pronounced because there was an evolutionary benefit to having a basic understanding of reproductive patterns.
