LPT: “You can achieve anything if you focus and work hard” often does not work with social relationships. In fact, it can be counterproductive. You really can’t make someone like or love you. For relationships to work, feelings need to be mutual and close to equitable. Otherwise, you are often more into your fantasy version of them, not the real person. People sense this and it can be very off-putting to be the source of someones infatuation. submitted by /u/zazzlekdazzle

My fiance and I both opened separate 529s before we met. Is there anything to be aware of? We’re working through our finances right now as we prep for marriage and we found out that we both opened 529s before we met for future children we would have. We have a combined total of around $2200. We live in CA, so unlike some other states, I don’t think there are any tax benefits from having a 529 outside of education-related expenses. The…

Father passed away, he didn’t have hardly anything My father passed, he’s in Michigan and I’m in Oklahoma. I have called about 15 different places that do probate. And they all start off with a retainer of $3000. They have all told me to do my own detective work before starting with them. I don’t think my father had much. But he did tell a nurse in the hospital that he had just enough set aside…

To the music creators out there, how do you deal with the fact that anything you put out is just a pebble in an ocean? I just released an album, and while I really don’t care about being famous or anything I am proud of it and I do want people to hear it. Self promotion out to your own little bubble just feels like a fruitless grind though, and there’s no just sending music to labels/radio stations hoping to get picked up anymore. Feels like there’s not much you…

Is there anything worse than Glee? I never watched it when it was on because my wife (wisely) disallowed me from watching it, but I saw bits and new it wasn’t for me. She’s now rewatching it with our youngest (He’s 13 and into musicals and such) and I don’t want to ruin it for them… but now that I’m seeing more of it… it’s just bad. In the last few episodes the Glee club join…

LPT: Whenever you have to use a drop box for anything (Keys, paperwork, FOBs, etc), record yourself making the drop. I recently had a bad experience with a car rental company who claimed I didn’t return the rental FOB. I know I put the FOB into their paperwork pamphlet, put it into the box, closed it, and heard a plastic-to-metal clunk. They wouldn’t view the security camera to confirm it and just charged me almost $500. Record yourself because it can be easy …

LPT request: is there anything I can do to restore my faith in people? I’m going through a rough patch right now where it seems like every person I interact with is just terrible. Bad at their job, uncaring, deceptive, ignorant. I’ve had to spend hours on the phone with call centers (AT&T) and even in places where I expect good service I’m finding lazy and incompetent people. Is there anything that could help me re…

Curious what y’all think of my makeup style, and if you think there’s anything I could improv? I really like a big liner, and to occasionally add some fun color. Was wondering if there’s anything y’all think I could improve, or just what you think of my makeup in general. submitted by /u/Jbooxie

Does the Leica M240 offer much obvious improvement over the Leica ME in usage and photo quality (high iso, buffer speed, turn on time etc)? Also, any sensor corrosion issues? Anything to be aware of? How about a guide price for a user grade M240? submitted by /u/mashitblingbling

I don’t think anything in the horror/drama genre will ever top The Haunting of Hill House for me I don’t know what it was about that show but it had so much charm. Everything about it was great. I couldn’t stop watching it, ended up staying up past 2am on work nights because I just couldn’t stop. And every single one of those nights I had insane nightmares that kept me up all night. The execution of all the twists were spectacular and mast…
