All the advice in the other comments is great. Advocate for yourself and don't give up. Find people who can support you.
As someone that has struggled with mysterious issues as well, I just wanted to say that you're not exaggerating or over reacting and you're not alone. You're doing your best to find help but the system is not working the way it should. Your family is supposed to support you. Your doctors are supposed to work to find a good diagnosis and relieve your symptoms. If they aren't doing that you will need to do even more work yourself, which sucks. Push them when you can, and if they still aren't responsive find a different doctor. I know it's hard, and exhausting, and expensive. But you have your whole life ahead of you, it's 100% worth it to get this figured out now.

The polishes are all Holo Taco - Aquafoil Featured Guest Not Milky White Cracked Taco Shell
To get the gradient I layered Featured Guest over Aquafoil on my middle finger and over Not Milky White on my thumb
The ghosts I did freehand using dotting tools and stamping polish for the white parts. Ghosts are forgiving because any wiggliness can be passed off as intentional haha

Edit: Thank you everyone for the positive feedback! I wasn't sure whether nail art was a fit for this community, but now maybe I'll post here more often!

Sounds like maybe newer pumps don't work like this? At least in my area, I've only had this fail once.

At most gas stations, you can mute the ads by pushing the second from the top button, sometimes on the left side sometimes on the right.
I hate the ads too, but muting makes them bearable.

Ah! I hadn't thought of the coolant. That's terrible.

Had it like this for years and I love it, but this thread is giving me ideas. Maybe it's time to change it up

True, but we live in a society. Nothing, especially not those 100 companies, exists in a vacuum. We buy their products and services, we work there, we elect politicians that they fund.
I'm definitely not trying to defend them, they are absolutely failing to respond to this problem. But reducing it to "we don't play any part in this, it's just these top companies", is an oversimplification of a very important and very complicated problem.
One person eating less meat doesn't matter, but a lot of people eating less meat does matter. CNN has the platform to reach a lot of people, so it is helpful for them to use that platform in this way. Yes, there are other things we should do too. But, I think to solve this issue we need to use every tool we have available, including individual changes AND regulatory changes.
I know this is just a funny meme, sorry for getting up on my soapbox. I've just seen this posted a lot and have always been too afraid of the reddit backlash to post my thoughts on it.

I never considered that the model of phone would affect the coverage, that shows how much I know! Definitely something to consider, I drive through low coverage areas a lot and do not want to get stranded with no way to communicate.
And good point with the upgradeable vs repairable. It would be so cool if it was upgradeable! Making every new part backwards compatible would be a huge pain for the designers though. But like you said the battery is the real problem with most phones. I'd be very happy with a more standard phone that just had a replaceable battery!
Have you ever had an issue that you had to get support for? Whether it's asking fairphone for help or just searching online for answers, did you have any trouble?
I am very clumsy and tend to drop my phone a lot. I worry that the disassemble-able design could make the phone less drop resistant, have you experienced that? (Or maybe you just have basic levels of hand-eye coordination and are able to hold on to a phone without issues lol)

I'm due for an upgrade from my pixel 3, which I love but the battery life is getting very low. I'm very interested in this, but wouldn't want to spend the money/resources on something that doesn't work well for me. Getting something upgradeable, then discovering the quality is bad and it doesn't last isn't very sustainable.
If anyone has any personal experience with this phone I'd love to hear it!

They're just both so upbeat and light. Although during lockdowns seeing happy people having close relationships with friends just made me more sad! Still, it was probably good to have those feelings bubble up so I couldn't keep ignoring them.
He got some! How could I resist that face?

This is my first attempt at crossposting, hopefully I don't screw it up. Also, how do we feel about crossposting with the kbin laqueristas, will it be annoying to people that are subscribed to both communities?

Hey just a heads up that there isn't a picture attached to this post. At least not one that is showing up for me.

I didn't make it, just very determined to help it succeed!
I'm wearing Holo Taco Wireless Mode. I didn't quite capture it on camera, but it has a beautiful aqua-purple color shift that I can't stop staring at!
I'll jump in with the first post! This is a set from last summer. I don't remember all the polishes, but the speckled background color is Cirque Colors Stoneware My other hand ~ ![](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.one%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F5a4b3382-22cd-41f3-9a2a-98278ff6ae19.jpeg) The background color on this one it Cirque Colors Aperol Spritz
I started nail art in 2020, and learned most of the techniques through reddit. Looking forward to sharing what I know and learning more cool skills on Lemmy! Any fellow laqueristas here?
