All I need to know to skip buying these services is that they relentlessly advertise through “influencers” on YouTube

as pointed in the ps on my orginal comment, I just found out about that and removed the “failed” adjective from my question

added, best of luck with the rest of the development
- Comment on The Return of the Pebble Smartwatch Is a Sign People Crave Something Unique 1 week ago:
Alright TIL, thanks for the informational reply
- Comment on The Return of the Pebble Smartwatch Is a Sign People Crave Something Unique 1 week ago:
yes, and discontinued right after, no?
look don’t get me wrong, I like the product and curious about its return. I just find it strange to pretend a version 2 of a product is “unique”
That is Apple level of “we inveted this thing that has been in the market for 2 years”
- Comment on The Return of the Pebble Smartwatch Is a Sign People Crave Something Unique 1 week ago:
successful products do not exit the market
- Comment on The Return of the Pebble Smartwatch Is a Sign People Crave Something Unique 1 week ago:
how is the return of a failed product “unique”?
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 2 weeks ago:
a bit harsh ig.
Likely, sorry about that
Maybe a better formed argument is that getting into a marriage legally is way too easy compared to the legal process of leaving one.
This is a completely different point than your original one though. And, while somewhat true, the countries that have strong marriage protections will not save you from a separation even if there is no marriage (more on this below)
The part about being in a hospital, only applies if the partner is not conscious
Or impaired in multiple other ways… but yes, the not conscious part if key because you could be in a medically induced comma to spare you the pain and someone may need to advocate for you in case a decision needs to be made. If you just had minor issues, there would be no problem but we are fending off the worst scenarios, no need for legal protection for minor stuff
Some other counties have another method for this where if you’ve simply lived together long enough those sorts of protections exist.
Correct and those same laws are the ones that basically have you automatically declared “common law” (or whatever preferred term) which makes a separation almost as hard as a divorce (coming back to point 2 above)
Is it a valid reason for legally formalizing your marriage? That’s up to you and your partner to decide.
At the end of the day, yes of course it is for the couple to decide… I just want to make it clear that you do not normally get the same level of protection by just having a will or a power of attorney (or it would be actually worse in those cases) and that people should consider this WAY more than “I don’t need a paper to say I love someone”, that is not what legal marriage is about
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 2 weeks ago:
Getting legally married is intended to protect the couple under certain circumstances as you suggest. You could attempt to perform the same with other legal means but it would be harder and costlier; like you deciding not buying a car but putting one together yourself.
The notion people get legally married out of love or worse that “a paper does not say I can love a person” seem to just have a 7 year old notion of what marriage is
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 2 weeks ago:
This is a shallow and very “I just think about the next few hours” view…
First of all, there are a lot more legal protections to married couples even if no kids are involved. Second, I guess you know when you are going to die so you can be certain there won’t be any end of life concerns, you are certainly immune to accidents, right? But also, you don’t have to be about to die to want your fiance to be allowed in the hospital room with you (which they won’t be if you are unable to provide approval and they are not legally your partner)
The “state” does not meddle in married life either… this is a rednecky thing to say… unless of course you are referring to treating your partner like crap or attempting to deny them any protection they are legally entitled to

I’ve met these women. They aren’t stupid, per se. They don’t want to “think”. They just want to live their simple life, doing whatever their husband or kids want
And they can, but they want everyone else to live like that as well

- Comment on Alarm as Florida Republicans move to fill deported workers’ jobs with children: ‘It’s insane, right?’ 1 month ago:
And remember the follow up… If it’s legal for kids to work overnight with no breaks, it’ll soon be mandatory or you’d lose whatever social security survives…
And then it’ll just be mandatory because there is no social security safety net and you are now officially an indentured servant of the Florida kingdom

The USA is already behind… and education is a thing that takes decades to pump or destroy. Even if the USA turns ship now (and they are not) the damage has been done for at least 2 generations of students.
The damage has been mitigated by importing so many smart people from elsewhere… but even that is getting destroyed so there is no saving it anymore
