Bht if there was definitely something way out of pocket in my opinion I woukd feel that way.
As for the typeface, it was paid for through a subscription service, so from what I understand it should be okay to use for professional use. But I will double check on thag when I get a chance.

My reason to post it was really just so I could get community feedback from people that dont know me or have any preconceived bias towards me. Not sure how Id be a le to do that without posting about it and sharing a link.
I indeed have gotten some feedback. Some constructive, some just downright incorrect about the process I took and some just insulting.
But thats the point of why I posted. To see what real world people thought in a community I appreciated over the time I've been on here.

Definitely wasn't any lack of effort. Just preference in that case.
Good thoughts on the blanks. Ill start adding them in.

I'm still working on pricing so that may change in the future. I just want to make sure im not gouging and also that Im not losing money of course.
And I'll have to take another look and the skus. I thought I had enabled size charts by default, but must not been. Thanks for point that out!

That was definitely what I was going for with the name so im glad it came through.
And just general feedback and any ideas or opinions on the site or designs. I'll admit they are a bit simple but thats kinda kn purposes for now. Also pricing, I dont want to gouge but I also obviously need margins so I try to keep it low, but im also low volume so im trying to find thr happy medium. Also I love the idea with print to order because its less wasteful, but a con is that it takes longer to ship because of it. Any feedback on those topics would definitely be helpful.
I definitely appreciate you taking a look and potentially showing your sister and her husband! It means a lot!

Because I dont have stock of most of this yet, all the photos are thier modles and I'm trying to sort different ones for different things.
As for the pricing, the only reason I dont charge a flat rate is because I get charged differently by my supplier for larger sizes. Which as a 4x guy myself is annoying but I also have to at least make enough money to keep the site up. But I may revisit pricing because I do like the idea of just having a set price regardless.
Buecause I'm a bigger guy having a wide variety of sizes was definitely important to me because of the amount of times I loved a design and wanted it but couldn't get it in my size. Size charts should be listed in both imperial and metric for everything, but I definitely could be missing some on an item or two.
Thanks for the feedback!

Its...So I started a small niche clothing brand called Apostle Threads. Its really just an experiment and side project from my 9-5 to help teach me and invest my creative energy into something. Its centered around Christianity, but I plan to branch out into not so obviously Christian designs in the near future as well. Its been a lot of fun so far.
Its all made to order because I don't have the money to invest into inventory and it reduces over purchasing. Seems like the best way to start out. Shipping does take a little bit of time though because its literally made when its ordered by my supplier.
I'm sure this is just going to be loss and I probably wont actually sell all that much if anything, but I still think it will be fun and a good learning experience.
What do you all think?
And of course, please feel free to browse and purchase anything you like!

I stopped a while back because my old PC I built had broken, and I didn't have anything powerful enough to run any 3D modeling software. Recently I pulled out the old Ender and tried to print some stuff. After about an hour or two of trying to level the bed and attempting to get a clean first layer I threw in the towel and upgraded to a Bambu Labs P2S. Since then I have been trying to relearn what I once knew and then also build on those old skills. I have mainly just been working on printing part first with designs already made and making some minor modifications or just messing with settings. I've been documenting my adventures on my YouTube (shorts) and Instagram if anybody wants to look (I have also been trying to teach myself DaVinci Resolve). It's been fun mainly printing things people request.

I have tried before to switch off to have some resemblance of privacy but my life is tied into it especially since work uses google work space.
I do use brave browser for my browser and Signal for messaging most of the people that I talk to outside of work.
However, my alt services are mainly with proton. I have their membership that gives me all of their services and love the password manager, cloud back up, and email. I would host myself on one of my domains, but I want stability and who knows if I will have the same domains in a year? I do not know exactly What happened in January as somebody had mentioned though.
I have used Spotify since I was in Highschool so I still use that.
I always use Namecheap for domains and HostGator and hostinger for hosting.
I would like to switch off of google completely in the future and move off of windows to Linux (I typically use Fedora when I'm on Linux), but life's a bit crazy right now to change everything.

It all started out when I was given the nick name JRizo by one of my best friends as a kid who tragically passed away some years back. We were kids and we thought it was cool riffing off my first and last name.
I added 2016 after it when using if for usernames but then soon shortened it back to JRizo and then made the slight change to JRiso to more accurately represent my last name.
Eventually after years of using it I reduced it down to just Ris. The first three letter of my last name. Unfortunately not every site allows three letter handles so in some places I use TheOriginalRis Or just my first and last name together.
I like it because it is short and simple, and always reminds my of my late great friend.

For example Verizon to AT&T. Since they are technically "out of network" do they not use SS7 to communicate anyway?

I wonder if making roaming opt-in at the network level (not the device level) could help?
Would disabling roaming at the device level help with any of this? I mean it wouldn't disable it at the network level, so the spoofing part would obviously not be affected, but maybe some of the other attacks like geolocation no longer work since the device would not need to relay that information causing the attack to fail? Or maybe it wouldn't do anything because the attacks are not dependent on the device itself but rather the service. If that is the case then maybe it would even make it worse to disable on the device level somehow.

I feel like as a Christian we are typically misunderstood especially with what we are called to do.
For example we are called to love others. People misconstrued that all the time to mean we are called to just accept what we would consider sin. In reality its not. Sometimes it means showing tough love because when you love someone you dont freely let them do things that would actually have a negative impact on thier lives. Of course you cant control them obviously. Free will exist. But I get told I dont love because my view is different from theirs. But if im honest its because I love them that I even say or do anything to begin with.
Idk if that makes sense. Its just how I've been feeling for a while now and have seen all over.
In the end, I just want to make things that I would want to wear and use. And maybe other will to. Or maybe it will just be a huge waste of time and money in which case I still had fun and learned new things.
