LPT – Many US states will remove you from the voting rolls if you haven’t voted in recent elections, and for other unjust reasons, like address changes…. Many states will remove you from the voting rolls if you haven’t voted in recent elections, and for other unjust reasons, like address changes. These purges can happen at any time, so check your voter registration status early and often to make sure you haven’t been purged. Most states also have registration deadlines and some deadlines are a mo…

LPT Create an argument “safe word” with your partner to stop an argument from snow balling. Married almost 33 years and and we sometimes allow small things to turn into big fights for no good reason. We chose “Jamaica” which was our honeymoon trip and reminds us how much we love each other. Last night we were talking in bed and I said something that got an unexpected response. After a little back and forth, I thought we were headed in…

LPT – If your phone is stolen, ask someone to take a photo LPT: iPhone just stolen in Copenhagen at a food hall, pretty vanilla maneuver, two guys working in tandem. Reported to police (very patient and took it seriously unlike US where I’m from) who asked a lot of detailed questions I just did not remember. Obviously it’s unlikely to snap a photo of perpetrators, but even if it’s afterwards at least th…

LPT If you want to send a picture and make a comment about the picture, always send the picture first, then type your message When I sent my wife a picture of the blue m&m with green lipstick kiss mark and a thumbs up, I also included the text “I just had sex” as a joke. As you can imagine, the picture was recieved well after the message. It was a rough few days after that level of misunderstanding 😂 submitted by /u/General_Elephant

LPT – Productivity and the Ultradian Cycle Hello everyone! Just wanted to share something with this community I believe you’d find interesting. I work full time as an online-based clinical hypnotherapist; as one would hardly find shocking, I find much in my day-to-day experience, insights and information both fascinating and applicable to my work with people. Somewhat recently, I found s…

LPT daily fiber for longevity My grandparents are both in their 90s. They have been taking daily fiber since I was a little girl, and probably before that (so since they were in their 50s or earlier). I remember staring at the Metamucil swirling around in the glass, and knowing that it had something to do with helping old people poop and being really grossed out by it. I swe…

LPT Filming memorable moments LPT . I Was just watching the Olympic opening ceremony and as always you see most people brandishing their phones. If you are at a televised or otherwise highly mediatized event or place don’t record the happening or place, record yourself and your people. That’s way more interesting to keep as memory. You can always find better media about the …

LPT – help with stripped screws When you can’t turn the screw because the screwdriver won’t fit properly anymore, if the screw head is hexagonal in shape, find the appropriate ratchet set head and use the ratchet to turn the screw instead! submitted by /u/benkenobi75

LPT If you have a home get an umbrella insurance policy in addition to home insurance. Not only will it protect you from your own mistakes if you have kids under 18 it will protect you if they do something. Insurance companies will have their own lawyers take care of the lawsuit. submitted by /u/aguyonahill

LPT – How to stop being resentful? Like many people, I have been through a lot of messed up things and met awful humans. On the bright side I have also met absolutely wonderful people that restore my faith in humanity. Somehow my brain can’t help but hold on to anger, hate and resentment for certain people and situations. Even when I understand that there is absolutely nothing I …

LPT On asking questions and giving answers. When asking questions one should ask the question first, and then only after that give the unreasonably long backstory that is generally unnecessary. This keeps the person you are asking the question to from being frustrated at having to listen to useless information while you’re winding up, potentially for tens of minutes, to drop the actual qu…

You can book an in-person appointment with a professional stylist at Macy’s, JCrew, Anthropologie, etc. There are also ones like this that offer online sessions. The stylist will pick out several outfits that look best on your body type, and will help you with sizing and color as well. Most places don’t have a minimum spend or maximum amount of …

LPT – To remove surgical tape and bandaids (plasters) without pulling out hairs, soak in a small amount of cooking oil first I mangled my finger recently and at each visit to the hospital the doctors had to replace the bandaging. I was worried removing the sticky surgical tape would pull at the wound but no; they just applied some oily liquid and the tape came off as if it wasn’t sticky at all! They said cooking oil works too, so I just tried it with olive oil on anot…

LPT – give yourself a buffer day after a vacation If you take a week or 2 vacation, always come back on Saturday, or even Friday, so you have a day or 2 to decompress after the stress of traveling (especially those long plane flights). If you’re coming back mid-week, say Tuesday, take off Wednesday and don’t tell your boss you’re home till then. Extra credit: say you’re going camping, or somewh…

LPT It’s exactly as easy to put on tinted safety glasses as it is sunglasses when mowing. Do yourself a favor and protect your eyes. submitted by /u/Chance_Answer7984

LPT : when apologising, focus on your actions and how they hurt someone, do not apologise for your character flaws Apologising for your character flaws- e.g “I’m sorry I’m so selfish”/“im sorry I’m a bad person”- can come off as manipulative and makes the recipient feel awkward. Even if your intended message was genuine remorse, it does not give that effect It is much better to focus on how you hurt someone than how you felt about hurting someone. Instead of…

LPT – If you’re a person who thinks about what to talk about on the way to a social setting, think about things to ask about instead I know some people rack their brains thinking about what to talk about when they’re meeting friends or colleagues or whatever, but it’s usually in the form of personal stories. It’s really a lot easier to just think about who you’re meeting, remember what they talked about last time and what’s happening in their life, and ask them questions abou…

LPT Start treating your educational establishment as a practice for the workplace. For those applying or currently studying at university please learn how to email university staff correctly. If you’ve never written a formal email before there are so many online guides. We really do judge you when you email with demands, with no introduction to yourself or clear explanations. Tell us your student number because there are thou…

If you’ve used a food bank, I’d especially like to know what you treasured to have access to. What are the most nourishing non-perishables for the money? submitted by /u/TheresACityInMyMind
