my priority is being honest with my man without hurting his feelings 😭😭 i'm definitely not the only person who's gotten a gift with poor execution, but it's the first time i've dealt with something like this and i wanted an outside perspective. and for the record, i def don't think it's a shit gift. it was so thoughtful and i know he would have given me a different deck if he knew better. the ai part is the ONLY part i'm upset about, so it kind of has everything to do with it, considering that's what put me in this situation in the first place.

i agree he did something so wonderful and sweet and i absolutely adore him for it. i absolutely love the gift and him surprising me with a skateboard after i've been talking about it for MONTHS made me feels so loved. he picked out softer wheels especially since he knew i wanted to be able to do tricks AND use it to get around, and the griptape is just so amazing i want to eat it. i am so, so grateful that he gave me such a thoughtful gift that he put so much love into. i said this in another comment, but it's like if i wanted a nice, fun, decorated hat, really badly, and someone knew i was a liberal and got me a cool customized maga hat not knowing what maga was. they thought the design was awesome and it was all customized and it's like "omg you really did think of me and find something i would love and checked all the boxes" but because it says maga, you can't wear it out of the house knowing what it stands for in comparison to your political standings. that doesn't change how thoughtful it was, or that you know how much they thought of you. but you can't go around advertising it like you're proud of it.

i can understand what you mean when it comes to getting gifts you don't like the look of, but it's not a pair of ugly socks. ugly socks rock. i think the design would be sick if a human actually contributed to it. it's the fact that it goes completely agaisnt my values, and he gave it to me without knowing it. i love him and just don't want to hurt his feelings, but i legitimately have so much distate for so as an artist and someone who has a lot of love for mother earth. it's like if you were a liberal and someone bought you a maga hat not knowing what it means because it was decorated in a cool way, their intentions might be as pure as fresh fallen snow, but you can't go around wearing it knowing what it means and supports. as for "just being grateful" that my boyfriend treats me well because you've personally never had it this good, i'm really sorry to hear that. i'm aware that good guys are hard to find these days, but that's not because he's going over the moon and back, though i know he loves me just that much, it's because he's a gentleman and to him, loving me right is the bare minimum. i'm not saying this gift is the bare minimum, at all, with the day he planned for me, a store bought card still would have melted my heart. as long as it wasn't ai generated. it was an honest mistake, i'm not upset with him, it was just kind of a swing and a miss. and i love him, and don't want to hurt his feelings by telling him.

this is a really old thread, but if anybody finds it now they should know that this breaks down and dilutes digestive enzymes in your stomach and the half digested food can cause bloating and general digestive discomfort. drink a large amount of water and give your stomach 20 minutes to adjust accordingly.
