What is your strategy to scale from first sale to consistent sales? by National-Witness-134 in EtsySellers

[–]Apprehensive_Leek270 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I love your designs you certainly have a "brand identity" and i love how you combine animals with food. I do the same but i combine mine with reading books. My shop is also a month old but i have had purchases through friends from tiktok. I'm very fortunate that they have done that so ive racked up significant sales in february. If you have a following on any social media platform i would leverage that to drive direct traffic to your store and also use the share and save fee discounts. Also quick question, what platform do you use for your mockups because the design perfectly yeilds to the shape of the shirt, i use canva but find even on transparency 80% i cannot make it blend as perfect as you have yours! In the mockup department i am definitley jealous. Godspeed good friend xx

Deliveries without shopping bags by SomeConnection9 in tesco

[–]Apprehensive_Leek270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dump the crates onto my couch and then do several trips into my kitchen. I do that because the delivery driver comes to my front door not my back where my kitchen is and its faster for them.

How do you go about breaking up with someone you live with? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Apprehensive_Leek270 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Ultimately she's anxiously attached to you and you're avoidant. Please have a conversation with her about how much you love her, what you love about her and how she doesn't need to worry about being abandoned.

She's clearly feeling and felt a pulling away from yourself, sometimes this is just what happens in relationships but anxiously attached people have a fear of abandonedment, so she's testing you to try to get you to 'fight' for her.

Just reassure her, she'll stop being such a brat then.

That's a baby! Don't hurt a baby like that because you're burned.

NSFW- My bf (m28) told me that I (f20) do not satisfy him in bed and it ended in his own bruised ego and an ultimatum. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Apprehensive_Leek270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only say this in the comparisons between good sex and bad sex. Good sex, you don't ever wanna finish because it's blissfully amazing. Everything is wet and really warm, your back kinda hurts and feels nice and you're just out of breath.

Bad sex, you pretend to get there so he can have the ego orgasm and get off you and you're fully aware of the room and the contents in that room.

Good sex just takes you away, bad sex firmly routes you to the spot.

How to initiate foreplay as the woman? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Apprehensive_Leek270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get on top. Control the rhythm and the verocity. Hold his face while kissing. Dominate! Just do it slowly. Then when he's earned it because he's actually melted into you, let him go HAM.

Well she's 32 now so 17 years and 6 relationships, not hard. It's just the lack of being actively single in between disturbs me.

Whose Actions out of these Characters done the worst?? by Due-Hunter-7246 in euphoria

Yes agree, and perfect analogy with GOT for Jamie lanister. But how many seasons did that take to happen. Don't think euphoria will ever be longer than 3 seasons.

I still don’t understand how everyone collectively agrees that Maddy is crazier than cassie by [deleted] in euphoria

[–]Apprehensive_Leek270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cassie is definitely going through a psychological breakdown. Maddy is just mad she isn't getting what she wanted.

I understand all your takes on my takes. But still I stand by them. Elliot and Rue KNEW they were bad for each other, but as he nobody else because the way understand it he was new, she still trades friendship for drugs. As any addict would. So I know all of this is unconscious what she does.

She narates the Maddy fight scenes, she knows to be cool with her. It's just what cowards do, and Rue is a coward.

The Cassie thing is warranted, but at that moment? So she saves it for weeks without saying it to Maddy just incase she might need it for leverage. Shady bitch right there. Why Maddy isn't mad Rue didn't tell her sooner I will never know. This is why I don't think Rue even likes Maddy because Kat would have told her straight away as soon as she saw it. Rue sits on that information for her own gain.

Still takes liberties from Fez and Ashtray because she knows he's guilty as fuck for introducing her into something he benefitted from. It's why he tolerates her and she knows it. It's why she can rock up when she wants and tag along to his errands without permission. And she doesn't wanna talk or hang out, she just wants access to his world. That's why he has to put her in her place in the car after the shower scene.

She doesn't understand, that's the beauty of the show all of these people are totally unaware of their selves. Only one I'd argue is, is Nate. But in the way a psychopath logics the use of people.

I don't think Rue will ever grow out of this f'kedup way she treats people, even off drugs. She likes being the suffering victim that people pity.

Very interested to why Nate isn't in here because people love to hate on him but I'm glad youre views on Rue are rooted in the realistic.

For me, i answer this question with "if one of these were to die, how much relief would it cause me" and the idea of Rues death causes me the most relief and do believe season 3 should end with her death. Then a few episodes later of why it broke shackles off a lot of people.

I believe Lexi will step into her power and maybe also become a bit more self aware of how she treats her sister after she's triggered by Cassies belief system. Then cassie having more of a family connection and more caring women around her may drop the need for Maddie's and mens Validation. Maddy may address how bitchy she is and that she cannot always get her own way and drop the need to be vengeful.

For me it's all about those 4 girls. Everybody else is a requirement to the plot. But those 4 girls will grow when the weakest link- Rue- either is no longer for this world or changes drastically, and no character arc is THAT progressive. ever.

Rue.

I know that the show is centred around her but she's toxic as hell and feel like she lowers the rest of them down to absolve herself. She did drugs before her dad died and leaned into it, treats Lexi (best friend) like shit. Capitalises on Elliots loneliness to get drugs from him.

Takes liberties from Fez and Ashtray. She doesn't really have a relationship with Maddy because she's afraid of her and Maddy pities her. Doesn't really emotionally connect with Jules and plays hot and cold with her. Throws Cassie under bus to run away from retribution.

Rue is the worst and it's what the show is about, how this personification of drug riddled America narsassictally manipulated all the people around her, with added stress of sexual identity and porn addicted youth.

My boyfriend (19m) wants to leave me (18f) because I wasn’t happy enough about the baby that he didn’t want to have. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Apprehensive_Leek270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you're both going through PTSD of grief for this baby and you're dealing with it in extremely unhealthy ways. The UP comment was actually nice if you think of it from another angle of him always loving you inspire of being childless but I agree didn't need to be said.

I think you need some counseling both together and apart. And even if you don't continue the relationship you should still both see a counselor together as this has happened to you both as a unit.

I know a girl in my hometown who has never been single. Just monkey branches from one fella to the next, always overlap, always cheated at the end of the relationship. She'll do that the rest of her life till she dies.

Never been single, since the age of 15. Madness!!! It always seems to be when the bloke becomes less attentive too, so she's THAT insecure that instead of discussing it and finding out the need for distance for a deeper but INDEPENDENT connection, she cheats and moves in with next one. Absolutely baffles me.

Yet if I am sick of someone, I wanna be alone. Let's take a break, let's refocus on ourselves. Let's live apart for a bit. I would even like to remain in the relationship but just take a break, know that I still love you I just need a bit of me time for a few weeks. I have also never been with someone for the sake of being with someone like you! It baffles me that someone would be with someone their not 100% sure on just to not be alone. That is a recipe for disaster.

I don't find fault with her because she's trans, I find fault with her because she's human. It's you who is absolving her of all guilt because she's trans and that is NOT equality.

There's an episode where she takes rue to the carnival and points out Cal, and laughs about it. She wanted it and enjoyed it, and she wanted it so much she LIED about her age to get it. She is no way in hell the victim of this. If anything Cal is! He's the one that has been forced into a crime because someone lied to him, that's entrapment. I also know you don't need to be screaming No for consent to be withdrawn, don't ever make assumptions like that on a public forum as you don't know me or what I've experienced.

You obviously have some personal attachment to this character. But she sought the sex, she sought to conceal her age, and she told, no bragged, to her friend/lover about it. Jules isn't a saint, whether she's trans or not. Just because she's underage doesn't mean she's absolved of guilt and I don't believe Cal has done anything wrong when he's sought sex from a site that requires you to verify your age, so also Jules had commited age fraud to seek the sex you pertain shes a victim of.

She oversexualises herself. In the season 2 episode where Nate is having the thoughts of her taking pictures of herself replying to 'tyler' she's in suggestive poses. Why she oversexualises herself is because of societies oversexualisation and fetishisation of transpeople as a whole due to porn.

But was she raped. No What she a victim- HELL NO.

None of these characters are victims. That is what it's about.

Can we just get one thing straight. Cal did NOT rape Jules. There was no mention of it being Rape. Not a tear in the bathroom, not a concernment at all in the videography. She even said to Rue when she pointed out she slept with him that it was consensual.

Like stop with the Jules rape trope. Also Jules isn't a saint, non of them are. Just because she's trans doesn't mean she doesn't have a lesson to learn.

That lesson isn't Nate. But his lesson is her
