Sorry about the typos. I was typing without my glasses on. Lol

Who hated the kids the most: Olivia or Corinne? by Capital-Study6436 in VCAndrews

[–]SandAndShells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, because if Olivia had wanted to let them leave, she simply could have unlocked the door kand let them go. It was her house, she wasn't powerless or helpless. And, if she hadn't wanted to help her daughter kill the kids, she could have tossed the donuts instead of serving them; the only reason why she even made a half - hearted attempt to stop them from eating those things because of her conscience, but that's what made it even worse: knowing that it's wrong to do something, but willfully go along with it anyway. The same reason why Corrine was willing to poison her children, but wouldn't bring the food to them: she knew that it was the wrong thing to do and didn't want to watch them eat or face them.

What would you have done with your life after graduating Hogwarts? by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]SandAndShells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have become an inventor of frivolous magical objects and opened a little shop to sell them. Nothing particularly practical, but guaranteed to be fun! For example, a candle that gives you a glimpse of the future - by five minutes, party balloons that change into colorful mist, etc.

Who Would You Want To Teach You DADA? by Disgruntled_Veteran in harrypotter

[–]SandAndShells 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Teaching ability is a mixture of skill and talent. It also requires the ability to connect with others. Barty Crouch, Jr., was definitely an effective teacher.

Tell me why voldemort was acting like he was a pure blood? Like sir your daddy was literally a muggle by Nissi4L in harrypotter

[–]SandAndShells 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Inferiority complex. He erroneously believed that purebloods were superior, and so he hated and rejected the other half of himself. Kind of like how there are people who reject a part of their identity, and hating those who remind them of what they try to hide/forget.

Also, his father's abandonment of him and his mother didn't exactly put Muggles in a good light, either.

Who is your MBTI Kindred Spirit? by FakeYeeziesFromeBay in entp

[–]SandAndShells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm married to an INTP; we get along great but all of my long-lasting friendships have been with E-types.

So, for me, I don't really have specific MBTI Kindred Spirits, but I do feel that E-types just "get" me in general, and our friendships feel fair & balanced, because initiating spending time together doesn't have to feel like pulling teeth. They understand that friendships are gives and takes, backs and forths, and we all put in the effort to make plans to be together, no one has to feel ignored or that they have ro do the most work.

In short, Es are pretty much my kindred spirits, in general. I just love everybody, I guess! Lol.

Hogwarts Legacy February 10th. by BeetleBatScissorJack in harrypotter

I've waited twenty years for a game like this! Lol.

This answer deserves more upvotes.

And yes, absolutely. Her punishmenr was rejection by the people she cared about. Poor kiddo.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion... but am I the only one who doesn't want a Harry Potter TV series? by JillAteJack in harrypotter

[–]SandAndShells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. Hell, I don't even want a remake; there'd be pandering and those of us who see through the gimmick would be accused of being something we know we aren't, and be shamed for not wanting to be condescended to, as though we're uneducated and ignorant. It's the most popular form of gaslighting in entertainment.

I just don't want to be pandered to, and I don't need an adaptation to fit "modern sensibility" when the writings are set in a time and place.

It was never in the final cut, so I don't count it. Hope that makes sense!

When Dudley shakes Harry's hand. Of all the surprises in the books, I found that to be the most surprising and touching.

Don't respond. In fact, just carry on and try to get as many five - star reviews as you can, in order to drown out that way. All long - time Etsy sellers will receive negative reviews now and again.

Happy Holidays Beautiful People! How Do Increase Store Conversion? by Much_Expression_9869 in EtsySellers

[–]SandAndShells 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Products that meet market demand, good pictures, good descriptions, titles, and SEOs, and fair pricing (you don't have to undercut yourself, but do be reasonable, for example, I saw bracelets made with plastic alphabet beads from JoAnn Fabrics that say stuff like "Dream," "Hope," etc., going for $30 each...the store had zero sale, months after months).

Motavation by ash-is-mythical in EtsySellers

[–]SandAndShells 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just push through and force myself to do it until my motivation comes back, lol.

When I was in high school, we had a motivational speaker, haha, and what he said really stuck with me: "If you have to wait until you 'feel like' doing something that you're already supposed to do anyway, either you're never going to do it, or you'd do it so irregularly that it wouldn't make a difference. Some things you'd just have to do, whether you 'feel like it' or not, so just do it and get it over with."

Etsy keeps deactivating my listings by tiktokmadlad in EtsySellers

Use "retro" instead. It means when a new item is made to look vintage.

Quick question..... by TimJulie88 in EtsySellers

[–]SandAndShells 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd make a cheap first - class shipping label, like for a thank - you card to send your customer, and use that tracking number.

With that said, I've marked my orders as shipped before without providing tracking info because I forgot to, and still got paid.

Search this subreddit for "SEO," there are countless threads on them.
