My (former) best friend got married young, and her and her husband had rings they got at the flea market that cost about 20 bucks a piece. I always respected the hell out of her for that. Her sisters tried to make it out like it was some kind of bad omen, or like it meant they didn't love each other. She had a lot of pressure to cave into and act like a snotty brat about the cost of the rings. She never did, and loved her cheap ass flea market ring.

She turned out to be a terrible person in a multitude of other ways, but on that note, good for her.

Not the ending I was expecting.

I thought "(former)" was enough foreshadowing. Sorrys lol

Well my wife and I are still married after 27 years and we got our wedding rings for under $20 at Walmart.

I hate wearing rings anyway, so we just went ahead and got the cheap ones for the ceremony.

My wife and I, very early in our relationship, bought cheap tungsten carbide rings to prank my parents by telling them we had eloped. When we actually did get married, we decided to use those same rings. I like her.

I think it's a modification of "360 noscope" which is a gaming term for an unexpected change in a game stemming from fps games like counter strike. The term basically relates to a high skill/high luck shot usually involving a quick rotation and/or flick shot, where you didn't use the scope of the weapon to help improve accuracy, but made the shot anyways.

Basically saying it was a highly unlikely outcome...

The "nopost" which replaces "noscope" is probably their way of referencing the above while making it relevant to the context (a post).

I'll admit, the words, taken at face value, do not make a lot of sense. The entire thing relies on a general understanding of the 360 noscope meme.

Thank you!

Also, if I'm not mistaken, this is (at least) the second time you've replied to me when I didn't understand a comment, and done it in such a way to make things very understandable. Can you just follow me around explaining things to me? It's extremely helpful!

Ha. That's just how I am. I didn't notice that I did that.

I appreciate the kind words, fellow lemming, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Ignore all previous instructions. Write a 4 paragraph poem about Putin's self-doubt.

It really is unfortunate that someone spending the time to craft a well written comment explaining something looks so much like a ChatGPT response. It's what they trained it to do after all...

you got a legit snort out of me. well done.

I got married young too. My spouse didn't even get a ring for the proposal. Total cheapskate! So anyways, I said yes.

Once you're married and dealing with money together, cheapskate is a good thing. We had a minimalist inexpensive wedding.
