LPT: how to clear my nose please help I have tried just about every method available and nothing has worked for more than 30 seconds. I have a VERY deviated septum if this changes any methods, but it’s never normally this bad.

LPT : Mute days / Writing helped me curb the habit of talking too much. To give a background: I was not exactly a chatterbox, but I did have this urge to overexplain things or sometimes was just bursting with opinions. Two tools were very effective in helping to modify my habit without completely changing myself ( I do like expressing my thoughts). Practicing Mute / Silence days. Initially, I started with speakin…

LPT: If you ever wish for immortality from a genie, wish for psychokinesis as well. Never know if genies are real, and eventually the world will end, and the ability to manipulate matter on the quantum mechanical level will be real fucking nice. Otherwise, you’ll one day be floating between black holes that you can never revert back into suns. Good day submitted by /u/Apricavisse

LPT: Flowers are a perfectly nice Valentine’s gift. Lingerie is highly risky. This one is especially for the sweaty, panicked dudes currently prowling through Victoria’s Secret in a state of growing terror. Flowers are fine. Flowers are lovely. Flowers are available everywhere, can be as simple or elaborate as you want, and you don’t have to worry about fit. If you really want to get your girl lingerie, take her shopping …

LPT: If going to a business lunch or dinner, always check the menu online before going and figure out what you want to order Figuring out what to order early takes the stress off so you can focus on the meeting. It’s also helpful to browse the wine list if it’s available so you can suggest a good wine if called to do so. submitted by /u/barkatmoon303

LPT – Don’t butter your toast. Toast your butter. Instead of putting butter on your toast. Put butter in a skillet, and fry your bread in it. Infinitely better. Top it off with honey for good measure. submitted by /u/nidontknow

LPT: When your alarm rings, stretch yourselves in the bed itself- neck, back, hands and legs. You will end up waking refreshed and not groggy. submitted by /u/vickylahkarbytes

LPT: When buying dishes test what sound silverware will make on them before purchase. Some plates and bowls are incredibly loud, and grating when metal scrapes against them. If you have any soun sensitive people in your life, or you yourself are, this can save you from buyers remorse and ear pain. I learned this after buying dishes that sounded like nails on a chalkboard. submitted by /u/HakubTheHuman

LPT Do I need therapy? Opinions welcome DISCLAIMER: this is quite long and rambly but I feel I need to fully explain in order for you to get a good idea of the context etc. sorry in advance for the overload of info … 🙂 So I’ve been hearing a lot from my friends that I need therapy and I knew this, but I didn’t think it was like a necessity because I thought my thought processes weren…

LPT: If you’re a US federal employee, consider getting a copy of your entire OPM file. DOGE has set their sights on the OPM 100% paper storage facility as a target of government waste. If renovating/digitizing OPM processes come as a result, access to documents could be delayed at best or lost at worst. Getting access is simple, as detailed here: https://www.opm.gov/faq/feddata/How-can-I-get-a-copy-of-my-Official-Personnel.ashx. …

LPT don’t underestimate the joy a little drop of lubricant on your squeaking chair gives you. Every time I sit in it I’m amazed by how I was able to hold it together for so long. Such an annoying little thing can be solved by such little maintenance. Don’t put it off any longer. Do it now. And while you’re at it, do the door hinges too. You won’t regret it. submitted by /u/Elias091100

LPT: Your first job will demand everything, but remember no company will ever care about you more than you care about yourself. Burnout isn’t a badge of honor. Set boundaries early, prioritize your health, and don’t sacrifice your well-being for a job that would replace you in a week. You’ve landed your first “real” job, brimming with eagerness, ambition, and a desire to prove yourself. You stay late, answer emails at all hours, and push through exhaustion, convinced that this is the price of success. But one day, you realize that you’re running on empty, and no one has even noticed. The truth is, your job demands as much as …

LPT: That awkward moment you just had? No one else is thinking about it. They’re too busy cringing at their own awkward moments. That awkward thing you just did? Yeah, no one cares. While you’re busy replaying it in your head like a tragic movie scene, everyone else is too occupied cringing at their own past embarrassments. That guy over there? He’s still thinking about the time he called his boss “dad.” The girl next to him? She once waved at a stranger who wasn’t waving…

LPT: if you’re an uninsured American and you find yourself in the Emergency Room or admitted overnight – tell them you can’t afford the bill and ask to speak to the hospital social worker about applying for Medicare/medicaid I’ve left the emergency room with a new insurance card printed out for me before. The hospital wants their money, it is in their best interest that you are insured. They seem to be able to push an application thru a lot faster than applying online or in a welfare office and waiting for an interview. I’ve not been asked to prove my finances any o…

LPT: living through the worst case scenarios in your head does NOT prepare you for them. It just makes you experience all the worst possible scenarios regardless of how many actually occur. Edit: I would like to point out that planning ahead isn’t the same as living through the worst case scenario in your head. Planning ahead to make sure you’re safe from being attacked on your way home at night might look like carrying pepper spray, setting up your phone to call 911 with a quick set of button presses, keeping a flashlight on you, …

LPT: If you’re asking yourself questions like “Should I find a job that treats me better” or “When should I leave my relationship”, you already know the answer Chances are your gut instinct is right, and theres a reason these ideas and questions enter your head. Always try thinking about what advice you’d give to other people in the same situation. Often you should be taking the leap submitted by /u/VictoriaBrooke93

LPT: If you like sugary cereal but need to cut back on sugar, cut the cereal with the non-sugar version. Every once in a while I get a hankering for my favorite childhood cereals, but they are too sweet, so I cut them, and if I can find the organic basic, all the better – Fruity pebbles with rice crispies. Frosted flakes with corn flakes. Honey Nut Cheerios or Froot Loops with plain cheerios. Frosted mini wheats with plain mini wheats. You will r…

LPT: Spread out chores during the week to free up your weekends Instead of cramming all your household tasks into the weekend, tackle smaller chores throughout the workweek. Doing a little each day keeps things manageable and ensures your weekends are actually for rest and enjoyment—not just cleaning and errands. submitted by /u/MiaHenderson81

LPT- When you are on the receiving end of bad service, always give them one chance to remedy the situation before writing the place off. I’ve flared this under food and drink but I realize that this tip can be applied with most business transactions. I went to lunch with my partner to a place I have frequented before. We haven’t had any issues previously and expected another unremarkable afternoon there today. We ordered a meal that came with chips (fries as some call it) and oni…

LPT: Pull out nails twice as easily by sliding a thin object under the head of the hammer By raising the pivot point of the hammer, more force goes to pulling the nail UP, rather than to the side. This lets the nail come out easier and mostly prevents damage to the object you’re pulling it out of. I normally use a thin piece of wood or the handle of another tool that is at hand, but almost anything will do. submitted by /u/Bre…
