Talking and making new friends is also a good way to distract from the reality of being…

Even if I’m not thirsty I’ll take a few good gulps and reset the timer and go on with my day. With this method…

I call it the “to-bed alarm clock.” The drop in doom scrolling on my phone and increased sleep schedule consi…

LPT If you want to have a productive and interesting discussion with someone, don’t focus on trying to convince them of your opinion. Instead, make it your main goal to find common ground. Note: This LPT is intended for friendly exchanges of opinion with someone you respect.

First, it will make the discussion less antagonistic and more pleasant fro…

As a frequent flyer I can confirm using the overhead lockers opposite your seat (rather than those above your seat) makes it easier and faster to grab your bag. Yes you will be in the aisle, but you will be using the ones above your seat too. You avoid having to twist around to get your bag and you can see everything and line up on your bag quic…

LPT — don’t play small stakes online poker It is rigged/distorted in favor of the thoughtless, ignorant player… so they keep playing. I’m posting this here because people in r/poker (should be renamed to r/idiocracy /s) just can’t understand that online poker is at best a poker simulation and not the real game of poker.

LPT when someone needs to open the door for you, text them a couple of minutes before arriving (rather than immediately after arriving) Especially if arriving walking, when you’re almost certain you’ll be there in about 5 minutes. Often people won’t read your “I’m here” text immediately when you send it, and when they do they’ll need to go downstairs or whatever. Sending ETAs has the same kind of idea but you can just get late and you’ll have the other person waiting for you. …

Instead of blatant scams from finfluen…
