Can smoking weed cause gastroparesis

How are you all handling things at the moment?
My 12m contract job I loved and told me they’d renew me for another 12m didn’t end up doing so, so I’m doing a 2m temp gig that is quite stressful.
I’m finishing my last two units at University after 9.5 years - I dropped out to work full time. My essay was due Friday, I already got a seven day extension. I’m finishing it today, but it’s not that good. I have a presentation due Tuesday that I haven’t started, and I will need to ask for time off at my new job, which I’m sure will be okay but I hate to ask.
I am lucky to pay $150 a week, but the whole house is $750 in Mt Lawley and there are 4 people (including myself) living in it. My room has no aircon (I have a temp unit); we can only really afford it cause we rent out the parking spots without the owner's knowledge. Objectively the house isn't bad, but i find it incredibly stressful to live with so many people who seem so messy. We also always get cockroaches in summer, and the rent is going up in July, and even if i wanted to leave i am the only one on the lease so everyone would need to move out and it could be super messy. i doubt i could find a place even if i wanted.
I lost 6kgs this year but in the past month have gained 2kgs from stress. I have no money because I spend way too much.
I’m mid 20s but overwhelmed. I feel like I’m making no progress and nothing really matters. I hate my work situation, uni situation, housing situation, but I also feel bad that I am doing well in comparison to some people who are really struggling.
I can’t even really afford mental health support. And I’m not sure it would help.
How are people managing? Are there any resources in Perth? How do I hang in there?

First, I wanted to apologize if this is widely known thing, I made some research buy couldn't find a solution or even know what causes it, so that's why I'm here asking about this.
So basically this is my first time playing the game and I set up my trade routes wrong, instead of going A->B->C->D... I was going A->B, A->C, A->D, B->C, B->D, C->D... Which was fine at flrst but as I kept getting more and more settlements it started getting unsustainable, because most settlers were provisioners and there weren't many left at home to farm, defend or work at shops, so I decided to call everybody back home and set up the Supply lines again from scratch in a more organized and efficient way.
However after removing all the provisioners I noticed that some lines were still active and I couldn't send a new one through that route, as if it was already occupied. I didn't lose any settlers everyone returned to their homes and I was able to get them to work on something else, but the line remain there fully functional but with no provisioner, I decided to call these "Ghost Lines" the way I see it, this is actually beneficial for me as I keep all the benefits from the provisioners without having to spend settlers on it so I can have everyone home working on different stuff. And I can live with that, but still wish I could fix it to have a more normal trade route not operated by ghosts.
After spending some time messing around with it I was able to "liberate" a good portion of the provisioners from the supply lines fully removing them, but there some that no matter what will become a ghost route the moment the provisioners is set to do something else. I tried loading an earlier save and that allowed me to liberate one more but ran out of saves to go back to and some still remain there unable to be removed. After identifying the bugged ones I left them with their provisioner before turning them into ghost lines.
All my settlers are functioning normally and I don't have any lost ones, it's just the moment I try to remove one of the remaining supply lines it stays active no matter what. As I said before I could live with that if no other option, but if anyone's knows a solution that doesn't require being on PC, I'd love to hear it, or at least knowing what causes it to avoid it happening again.
Thanks!

While making this post, I was banned thrice on Reddit. So many words won't make any sense sorry. Please read this or the TLDR at the bottom
I WILL compare dawoodi bohra to other counterparts all over the world. I presume one of them caused the ban THRICE. That is perma ban from Reddit themselves.
Dawoodi Bohra is a shiite ismaili group of people that follow 7 dayamats. They also do not follow other basic tenets of Islam.
Chruch of scient* are popularly known for thier misleading nature outside and how they secretly worship a fantasy book. Thier leader has also qouted "making a religion is the easiest way to get rich quick.
In our religion this applies alot. one of my fellow jamea person in this subreddit said that in a higher level sabaq they talka bout how we are reborn and other things[say it in the comments i wont be banned again]
yehwah* witness protection program offer you an isolated world where each aspect of your life. Your name/school/college/degree/specialization/partnegrave is decided by the the same group Hell this people can
In our religion aswell our name is decided our school is now in process of bieng decided and you need raza for the 2 other things i mentioned. Thankfully we aint as educated for deciding degree.
TLDR>nah dude go fix your attention span i cant tldr such a short thing..
This was originally a 1000 word post and i cut out every banned word effectively. Lets discuss in the comments.

I’ve had a migraine the last two days, I checked my blood pressure at home and it was at 150/104 and I was started to get dizzy. When I went to the ER the dr pretty much told me I didn’t need to be there and not to go unless it is over 200s and I told her I wasn’t comfortable with that especially since a lot of my family members have had stroke including my immediate family. She ran my urine and blood and said I was low on potassium. When I got my discharge diagnosis, it said marijuana use. I do not smoke, no gummies, not around smokers so I was confused. The nurses said that Dr is the only person I could talk to until I asked for the charge nurse and the charge nurse was very upset and explained that nurse is known for being rude. What should I do next? I have a Dr appointment on Wednesday and was wondering if the can do a blood drug test? Should I make a complaint?

Hey! So, the one big issue with my resume right now is the bullet points. I'm not including the right details or doing STAXYZ/CAR correctly. So I went into a google doc, arranged the stuff into boxes and highlighted it before turning it into sentences. I'm going to share everything I have created and then share context to see if there's anything I can do to change them, how I can make them sound better, etc before I try applying it to a resume and posting. Sorry about how long it's going to be. If you only want to look at one bullet point that's fine and I appreciate it! I'm just struggling to make these and even after reading through the wiki and looking at success stories I'm still not including what I need to. I'll just do the work section for now and hopefully I'll get a hang of it so I can replicate it on the project sections. If you want to see the project sections I can always edit the post to add them :)
Section 1: Work
'‘Fabricated thermocouples and RTDs according to company or customer provided engineering schematics using a variety of shop methods in order to get the products to the customers on time or early’ [STAR]
‘Updated, corrected, or clarified company engineering drawings using SolidWorks or Autodesk depending on original file type in order to meet customer needs and maintain standards’ [CAR]
Increased the quality of parts being sent out by 25% by using various inspection methods and tools such as calipers, thermometers, pyrometers, and multimeters’ [XYZ]
‘Repaired shop equipment as needed allowing products to be generated with minimum downtime by using root cause analysis, hands-on repair skills, and lock-out for safety’ [XYZ]'
For my job, I create thermocouples and RTDs- small electronic parts. Also the thermowells and ceramic tubing that protects them. It's mainly shop work with TIG, Micro, and Hydrogen welding, oxy-acetylene brazing, sandblasting, mills, lathes, belt sanders, wire wheels, hydraulic tube bearers and what's essentially a horizontal impact hammer used to get MgO out of the tubing to get to internal wiring. When I graduated I was titled 'engineer' but I still do mostly the same things, just with the added responsibility of fixing shitty 3D drawings that are outdated, need a change, or just outright bad and confusing to read. I also will do quality control on parts shipping out and I'll take measurements with pyrometers, multimeters, and calipers in order to make sure that the parts were built to spec and are working (and look good and have the correct quantity). I also have to fix various machines as they break, though I do have help with that. And I was responsible for setting up the brand new hydrogen welder. Have been learning coding on the 5D cnc mill but I'm not listing that since the last time I did it was high school, though I do know how to do it just not that well.
Sorry that's a lot to read. Thanks for the help!! I really do want to do this right and get a job.

I got diagnosed with gastroparesis in 2010. I had a lot going on back then and was able to get it all under control to the point that I just sometimes take over the counter meds if I have symptoms and just control things with diet. Some days are harder than others, but I manage fairly well.
The thing is, they could never give me an answer as to why I had gastroparesis. There was no source. I’m not a diabetic and I didn’t have any sort of surgery or co-morbid disease that caused it. In fact, gastroparesis along with a hiatal hernia, GERD, and H. Pylori was deemed cause of my S.M.A. Syndrome back then. They just didn’t know what caused it and every new doctor I’ve been to (due to insurance changes, etc.) since then thinks they’re going to make some huge discovery and always send for a bunch of tests. They’re convinced I’m diabetic, have some thyroid issue, or celiac. Everything always comes back negative. And then they’re still shocked I still have it after so many years because it should have gone away already—or at least that’s what they say. Some doctors told me it might be hereditary somehow. But no one in my family has gastroparesis or any symptoms like it.
At the urging of my husband, I started going to doctors to get blood tests to keep tabs on my nourishment and established my first primary care doc in years, who also happens to be his doctor. My doctor took the time and interest to listen to my full medical history and investigate what might be wrong. He was the first doctor to figure out I might have a genetic disorder based on my health history.
I swear seeing a doctor make a mind map of all my conditions was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen but also the most humanizing treatment I’ve felt at a doctor’s office. I felt seen and heard. Tell me why it took so long to find a doctor who would put in the effort to connect the dots…
After he sent me off to multiple specialists, I officially got diagnosed with a connective tissue disorder (along with other things due to that 😭).
After doing a lot of research on my own and discussing it with my doctor, there’s a big likelihood it’s Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) but they refuse to diagnose me with that until I have a bigger medical emergency. EDS is just one of many connective tissue disorders. They told me the care is still the same since it’s all in the same umbrella (they’re taking care of my heart now, too). It’s likely that they don’t want to give me the specific diagnosis so I don’t lose insurance. But that’s neither here nor there.
The reason I bring it up is because while doing some research on my new condition I learned other people with connective tissue disorders including EDS have gastroparesis, hernias, tilted uteruses, etc. I have all of that.
I am 34 years old and I am finally learning why I have all the issues I’ve had since I was a small child. Everything is apparently connected to this diagnosis. It sucks but it’s an answer.
I hope this encourages someone to not give up.
TL;DR: I got diagnosed with a connective tissue disorder this year and gastroparesis is a common condition for people with it. I no longer have an idiopathic gastroparesis diagnosis.

So I have braces, and I just noticed today that the wire on the top of my mouth is no longer connected/detached from my last bracket on my top right side. But rather than it be longer on the other side, it’s still the same size, nor have I eaten or done anything for that part to be broken off? But my main cause for the problem is that I’ve been told to start wearing my rubber bands differently (told on Monday, started immediately) and my rubber bands were changed from small triangles on both sides, to a triangle on only my left side and more towards the front, and a the first hook to the last hook on my right side (so like a single line, not a triangle, but it’s a long reach?) and I want to know if my assumption is correct and that’s the cause for the detachment because it’s just my top palette is expanding (that is why I have braces). So, should I see my dentist? (I’m hoping for an answer that says no, I hate my dentists) or can I just leave that last bracket alone since I don’t put any rubber bands on it and just wait till I see my dentist again (the only thing that’s bothering me is the exposed wire, but I can put wax on it). Thank you!!!

I’m considering getting a tarantula. I have had rats and hissing cockroaches and have helped care for a bearded dragon so I’m not unfamiliar with exotic pets but want to get a clear game plan before potentially bringing a spider home. Some questions: A) I know most t enclosures are natural looking but is that a requirement? Does the t care about foliage/ naturalistic decor as long as it has suitable substrate and adequate hides? B) would you recommend getting a sling over a juvenile or adult? I’m a little nervous thinking about having such a tiny spider and so have been considering getting an older t that’s already a little bigger. Is there a reason people usually get tarantulas as slings? C) does variety matter in the diet? Or can a t be happy and healthy eating only one kind of feeder insect? D) there is someone local to me selling an Arizona blonde tarantula. Would this be a suitable first species (ie relatively docile and hardy) or should I go for one of the more widely recommended like a gbb or a curly? E) can you have ts if terminex sprays around your house? This feels like a dumb question, but they don’t spray inside the house just around the outside and it never caused problems with my rats. Thanks in advance!

This is my first time using Reddit to sorta vent ..so bear with me
So for some context I’ve been with my boyfriend for a while now and our relationship has been great and perfect . If there’s something bothering me I can talk it out and it’s fine . But however there’s just this one teeny tiny issue. Cousins. Whenever something bad happens it’s with cousins, we broke up a while ago because of a “cousin” who convinced him he should leave me (got back together the next day cause he realized he was wrong ) . He had a cousin who would send him pictures implying sexual action, whom I blocked but for some reason she would add him again. And he has cousins who he shares, want to be weirdly close. Today he’s at his uncles house, cool whatever no care. He has two boy cousins and they get along great which is amazing . Ive been waiting for him to text me so we can talk for a bit and he texts me the weirdest shit. Again I wanna know if im wrong for being upset.. he basically explains he went snooping in his older (girl) cousins rooms and found stuff like vapes and ..personal..stuff (toys). And were searching for more. Which is none of his business. I obviously get mad because I’m constantly telling him I don’t like that weird stuff but he laughs it off and ignores my messages. And I’m pretty sure he’s now telling his cousin something about me. Again it’s not much of a story but I just thought it was weird and I wanna know if I’m wrong for being mad. Like I said his relationships with cousins are weird and he always shared strange stories . Now ik he’s loyal and won’t do anything that’s not my issue. I just don’t want to lash out on him unreasonably yk…

I feel like the only way we can truly move on is if we don’t contact each other anymore. It’s not any animosity towards you whatsoever. I think we have to mourn the living. I don’t want you to feel like you have to check in on me from time to time out of guilt or if it’s simply from the goodness of your heart. I know you care. Tell yourself that this is about you now, figuring out what you want in life and growing into who you’re meant to be. Fighting these inner demons that have caused you to self sabotage. And to also understand why our relationship didn’t work out because of the uncertainties you had about yourself. It’s unfortunate for us to have ended in order for you to get here but this is YOUR journey now to venture. I’m not waiting for you to change because I’m working on MY healing journey too. It’s only been 2 months since and this is the hardest break up I’ve ever dealt in my life because I lost my best friend and also someone I thought I could trust with my heart till the end. I’ve never been hurt like this before. It still pains me and will take a lot of time. All I hoped for was a lifetime partner because after 5+ years, where else would our relationship have gone? Ultimately we want to grow into the best versions of ourselves with or without each other. I have so much love for you and only want the best. If not in this universe, I hope we find each other in the next.

Hey, M 22 here. So I’ve been on tinder on and off in the past couple years in Delhi, but due to college, I keep travelling abroad so I’m not very active on it most of the year, except when I’m home for holidays. One thing I’ve noticed is that I rarely get even descent matches on this app. I got curious and got tinder gold for a week just to see what likes I’m exactly getting (which are few in number). Most of these profiles don’t even seem genuine as they don’t even show face; which is a red flag for me, or I’m just not really into them like that.
Now I’m a pretty good looking guy (which many people have told me other than my mom lol), 5’11, and work out pretty often, which anyone can tell by taking one look at me. I have, what I genuinely think, pretty good pictures of me on my profile, a descent bio and other important stuff to put on one’s profile. I’m extremely fluent in both English and Hindi and study in a reputed college in the US and can’t possibly be coming off as some barely educated creep/incel. I can’t speak much about my conversations cause holy f I need at least a decent or good match to even start one. I want to clarify that I’m not holding my standards too high which might come across from the previous sentence, just looking for an acceptable match, especially when there’s so many tinder scams in the area.
Overall, I think I’m a pretty put together, fairly attractive, intelligent and a decent person. So my question is, wtf am I exactly doing wrong? What do you guys think makes a better profile than others? I don’t really wanna show my profile here, especially the pictures, for the sake of anonymity so I just need some general advice.

When do you give up?
I'm not necessarily talking like self-deletion. I just mean giving up. All the other kids I grew up with gave up on life a long time ago. They spend their days playing video games and working a shit job just enough to pay for a one bedroom apartment.
I don't blame them. Some have brain damage from what was done to them as children. They certainly have psychological damage. Hell, I think I am the first person who told them that what happened to them as children wasn't their fault. Their whole lives have been where nobody wanted them. Everyone around them secretly wished they would just disappear. I don't think anybody would cry if they did self-delete. They were abused. They were blamed for "needing" the drugs and abuse. They were blamed when the drugs and abuse didn't work. They were blamed for having brain damage. They are blamed for not being able to properly hold a job with said brain damage and anger for what was "their fault".
I was thinking about this, both the people who went through all this as well as myself. I eventually came to the conclusion that, at the end of the day, none of this really matters if it was caused externally or by some made up disorder. The consequences of these things is the reality that we live.
I wonder about my own life. I am one of like two who managed to live a somewhat normal life. I managed to get a decent enough career that pays ok. I have a few cars and a nice apartment. But every single day the past haunts me. Just yesterday I went to a small birthday gathering at a restaurant. I had trouble because of the adrenaline I was feeling while being in a noisy environment. It took me years to figure out that what happened wasn't my fault. It took me years for anybody to even acknowledge any kind of truth. It took me years for know that there was truth. Hell, it took me over a decade for anybody to even hug me.
My question is when should someone give up? I come home to an empty apartment. I wish I had a wife, but I don't think that's going to happen. I missed out on learning basic things like how to date. If I ask for help, it's like pulling teeth to get people to even understand the statement. I wish my life had value. It has value in the sense that I can donate money to something, but not in the sense that I myself am needed.
When should someone give up?

I don't know how long I can handle this loneliness. It's killing me. If I see a picture of someone I know who will never know me I feel it. If I sit alone for a while to imagine a better life I feel it. I'm so unsure about everything. I'm unsure of my dreams, of my future, of my life in general. I don't think I'm meant to be happy. Even If she knew me I imagine she wouldn't like me hell I don't really like me. Loneliness doesn't go away it only fades for a while. I've never been lucky. I've been cursed with disease, failure, loneliness, depression. I wish life would treat me better and I tell myself that I'm the problem and I have to try harder but I'm just gonna end up feeling the same way every night. Why try? What will I get? I don't know anyone my age cause I chose to be alone to succeed, look how far that got me. I don't have friends or partners I don't get that luxury. I screwed that up a long time ago now I have to pay for my past mistakes. I just want to be happy. It's all I want. I want to act. But I'm stuck in a crappy city. I know I can be something If I was just given the opportunity but you know I'm just not that lucky. I don't know how long I can handle this pressure. This overbearing depression and all these bad thoughts. I've taken on so many things and done it all but this just hurts every day. I don't know if I'm strong enough to survive this. I'll be 18 in November and I'll still be alone, I'll still be tired all the time, I'll still be scared of opening up and talking to someone, and I'll still be so far away from my dreams. Some life...

Over the past 7 months, 3 unofficial banner themes have been changed in favor of the standard random assortment of heroes from 2-3 games.

• Dragonween. From Books 4 to 6, Halloween banners consisted entirely of dragon units, and thus was unofficially called Dragonween. However, in Book 7, this was changed in favor of a mix of Engage and Awakening characters (with a random Flayn cause 3H needed its equal attention cake).
• Ninja class banners. From Books 4 to 6, Ninja banners were based around specific classes in mainline games (excluding the Duo backpack). Book 4's was centered around the Myrmidon classline, Book 5's was centered around the Archer classline (although this one is cheating a bit cause it used avatar characters, which can reclass into anything), and Book 6's banner was centered around the Wyvern Knight classline. However, in Book 7, it was similarly replaced with the standard format, this time being a mix of characters from Radiant Dawn and Fates.
• Harem banners. In Books 6 and 7, the unofficial theme this time was harem banners, where it was a main lord, their exclusive A supports, and an unrelated Harmonic backpack. Book 6's was centered around Roy, while Book 7's was centered around M!Robin. Also important to note is that Books 3-5's themes were of a canonical couple hosting a mock wedding (Pent/Louise, Naliah/Rafiel, and Zelot/Juno in that order). Book 8 seems to have not included either of these themes, with there being no main lord on the banner or a canonical couple to base the banner around, and is instead a mix of Heroes and Engage characters.

However, they did keep the Valentine's and Children banner themes, although I would consider these more official themes due to clear trends throughout the years, and a harder difficulty to move away from their established themes compared to the 3 I mentioned above, which all have a history of staying with the standard theme (the only exception is the Ninja banner, which started with an established theme before moving away from it).
How do you feel about this? Personally, I'm mixed; on one hand, I appreciated the unofficial traditions IS had and it gave the banners a sense of continuity and predictability throughout the years, but on the other hand, it's nice to know that a fav of mine isn't immediately excluded from a banner because they don't fit on the unofficial theme.

I've had an Arc A770 LE since December 2022, and counted myself lucky I didn't have any issues I couldn't overcome.
I hadn't updated in a while because there wasn't any real need to. Was on 5379.
I got Ghost of Tsushima and was thrown off by the graphical issues and artifacts. Realized I wanted to be on 5518 or 5522.
I either use Intel Software Support Assistant or download drivers manually, since Arc Control hasn't been reliable for many months now.
I am completely unable to update past 5379. I tried 5445, 5448, 5518 and 5522 after using DDU.
It extracts to 100%, opens the loading screen for Intel Arc Graphics and then instantly closes.
After DDU, I tried the 4 more recent updates, which all had this issue. Downloading 5379 again installed with no issues.
Can anyone help shed light on what causes the 4 more recent updates to fail? The only noticeable difference is that 5379 registers as 'Installer.exe' whereas more recent ones are pinged with Intel as the publisher instead.

As a writer, I have a conflicted relationship with commissions, but you’re here for the tea. Sorry if this is jumbled, but the client is an amalgamation of every bad commissioner that you have ever read about or that you may have worked for.
First, they ordered a writing commission, but during the first 5000 words they were surprised there was “too much” writing and reading. I told them from the start the first draft would be better off as a script so I could easily adapt into a novel, a D&D homebrew or whatever they desired. They originally had 60 PAGES of characters, but I have cut it down to 31 pages (so far). I gave them three simple ‘homework’ tasks to gather all the information I needed for the three parts of this commission. A plot summary (in bullet points) which took them four months because they insisted on writing it like a novel. The list of characters took six months (they are going back to remake EVERY character reference because it took them so long that the early references are out of date) and they fought me with every character we cut and they still haven’t sent me examples of how they want the D&D homebrew to be formatted. They say they have no idea what to look for as they knew nothing about D&D, but they blew me off for two years playing a D&D game with other friends using a D&D Beyond account ( I do not support Wizards of the Coast). For context, the bullet points took me 2 pages and 2 voice calls with the commissioner to summarize and the list of character names took 3 days and 3 voice calls to compile on Google Doc and move to Trello. What about my plan to script? He INSISTED that I, an expert in my field, should write the novel while he worked with a ‘friend’ of his on the D&D homebrew. Why would he need a script? He didn’t WANT a script.
Only a few weeks later, he ran back to me after being blown off by said ‘friend’, with the genius idea of having me write a script, novel and homebrew. His card is always empty whenever he pays for the next part of the commission because he spends it on $400 sketches and junk food. He refuses to listen when I say he doesn’t need 300+ characters. One of the stories he is plagiarizing is mine. My novel only has 27 characters (including a canine). We will be celebrating the 16 month anniversary of the commission by the time this is posted. He has nine days to finish the characters before I cancel. I’d rather live in my car again. Two hours ago he LITERALLY just made a FULL bio (in the description) with five full body outfits for a character that was deleted. He spent a month adding a shine texture to an npc's tiddies.
After making me wait for 16 months, he has the AUDACITY to get angry at me when I was offline for an emergency and I could only make one of our two commission vcs. Now he’s using the deaths of friend(s) caused by recent global tensions to ADD more characters. Why do you NEED to keep your brother’s ocs? To kill them? Delete them! This psycho has a history of making fictional versions of people who he perceives as having wronged him to kill and/or torture them graphically. Do you really need an entire MONTH? You won’t recycle two characters (that don’t belong to your brother) to fit VITAL roles but you proceed to make two random characters FROM SCRATCH that have nothing to do with those roles. Or last month I asked him for a list of 8 damage modifiers (8 digits) he replied in 12 minutes. This task previously took him an ENTIRE month because he was ‘busy’ with maps (in reality he was blowing up on a ‘friend’ who turned down his art commission on Discord and watching videos). This client is too lazy to browse with Google but he deliberately makes changes in complex organization software to disobey me. I am going to die before this torture ends! Would I be the a–hole if I put a stop to this nightmare?
It’s happening! Finished or not, the commission ends on my birthday (May 24). I am sick or getting “Okay.” every time I ask him a question about his commission.
Just when I thought I was in the clear, he drops a D&D manual of dice rolling, resting and training mechanics, skill trees and a point buy system he has NEVER mentioned predating these 16 months; all the way back to when we met (2012). He does this the week that I am “finishing” the commission. Did I mention that he has “accidently” erased the maps through his own bad habits. ARGGHH! He’s got until Monday. I don’t care if he pays me one last time. I can’t live like this.
FREEEEEEEEEEEDOM! After 16 months and two weeks.
Since I had writer’s block and another traditional art friend was suffering from art block we decided to remake some of each other's characters in our styles. The subject of this post got excited to join us. What kind of a--holes would we be if we gate kept something this trivial? I remade nine of the subject of this post's characters in my style (in two days). We both use the same program for the same amount of years, but we have developed wildly different styles. Will I ever learn? He spent the whole stream telling me their sweaters were wrong, he disliked the ribbon in one of the girl’s hair because it was too big, asking why do all of the girls have the same stockings (while wearing school uniforms) and why they do not have the exact same skin tones (despite me using the eyedroppecolour picker to show him the neon colours (one background character has eight colours in their hair) he chose in his style does not work with my duller, minimalist palette. Did you ask for me to copy your style or use my own style? After they were done, he listed all of his (multiple) issues with them like nine college essays. I can take criticism, but I had to force one compliment (one word per character) out of him. His criticisms regarded me adapting elements from the references that HE sent me. 90% was negative and 10% positive. Naturally the subject of this post still has not even thought about which character of mine he'd like to remake, but even professionals cannot unravel the web of things this person has done to avoid me even in situations when I am the center of the conversation/activity. I was unsure where to post this since this rant is a bit of most subreddits that I enjoy. Thank you for reading! I have mountains of experiences to share from freelancing and I will have many more in the future.

Hi everyone, so basically I made an app and wanted to share it and get some thoughts, feedback, etc. (Jump to Summary if you don’t want to hear the whole story lol)
Have you ever played FishBowl?
Well, the most boring and time consuming part is writing the words or prompts on a lot of pieces of paper even if you get the help of all participants, then some get repeated, then you have to fold them, you waste paper, etc. Get my point?
I know this because I love to play the game with my family and friends and this is the thing that stopped us from playing it more often .
I looked for apps out there but you have to buy every theme pack, and once you buy it words are very limited and get repeated 😓
So I made this app for personal use and then thought on uploading it to the AppStore
If you want to try it is download free with a 2 week trial for all themes (I had to cause it uses AI and have to pay it somehow if it gets downloads, sorry >.<)
In Summary the app:

• iOS App for FishBowl game
  
• Uses AI so you can personalize some specific years for movies, shows, etc. and also according to your country.
  
• Keeps scores of each team
  
• Always new words thanks to AI so games feel fresher and as unrepeated words as possible (AI is still improving)
  
• Instructions included for those who haven’t play it
  
• You won’t pay for each theme pack or something like that, like so many other apps, but it does require subscription to cover AI costs
  

Anyway, as I said, it was at first for personal use but thought “Why not?”. Still if it starts working and getting downloads any request here or in the AppStore comments about themes or functionalities I’ll try to add them on future updates.
Hope it’s useful for someone, and any feedback is welcomed :)
