LPT: If I meet someone cool at a party and decide I want to be friends with that person, I always ask them to recommend something to me, like a show or a song. Days or even weeks after, I take their recommendation, and let them know! I found that I’d have great conversations with people at parties, but even though we exchanged numbers, I’d never really know how to follow up and turn it into a friendship. Asking for a recommendation during the conversation, and then following up after has worked really well for me! Benefits here: In the moment when you ask, people love tal…

Would it be okay for me to ask a make up artist to teach me how to do my make up? I hope this is okay to post here. I feel so dumb writing this but I was wondering whether it would be strange or wrong for me to ask a make up artist to help me learn to do my make up well (obviously I would pay them for their time)? Due to a physical disability I don’t get out much anymore & after several years of health problems I just don’t …

Is it okay to ask a brand to send you product to feature if they follow you? I have a rather small food page on IG with slightly less than 300 followers. A particular brand that I use followed me a while back and likes my posts, yet I’ve never featured their product. I’ve had brands send me product after featuring them, but I’ve never straight up asked for it. Would it be okay to DM them this brand and ask to send me pro…

LPT: Switch phone numbers with an elderly family member if you have to change your number. Scammers will ask for the elder’s name. Call scammers try using spoofed numbers to call from a local area and older folk are more likely to pick up and get conned. By using this method you can quickly identify scammers and telemarketers; and mess with them if you do that. submitted by /u/ForumPointsRdumb

After Jordan Falls, House Republicans Ask Who, and What, Is Next A band of more mainstream Republicans brought down the hard-line conservative, but the G.O.P. has hardly stemmed the chaos.

LPT Request: What to say to a coworker you hate if they ask you why you act differently around them? I’ve worked with this woman, Rachel, for around 8 years. She is a customer service manager and I am the stores media specialist. She. Is. The. Worst. Micromanages everything, talks about people behind their backs, screws up projects, gets involved in things she shouldn’t, and has one of the most obnoxiously fake sounding laughs I’ve ever heard. …

LPT: You can ask for another salesperson at a car dealership (or anywhere really) I recently went to buy a car. Loved the car, couldn’t get comfortable with the salesman. He was pushy, flighty, and wasn’t answering my questions. I called the next day and asked for a sales manager and politely explained that I liked the car a lot but felt like I wasn’t getting the support I needed from my salesman to make me comfortable with b…

Everything You Wanted to Know About Salt but Were Too Afraid to Ask I’m not being hyperbolic when I say salt is the most important seasoning of all time. It makes things taste salty, sure, but it also makes things taste like better versions the themselves, and more importantly, salt is a powerful preservative and natural anti-microbial. Long before refrigeration—all the way back to anc… Read more…

If you find yourself in the position to tell someone “why does it always have to be about you?” ask yourself if anything has ever been about them beforehand. When somene always brings up problems, seeks attention etc… sometimes (not often) chances are they have neveractually been addressed by others spontaneously (there could be various reasons for this). So before beinging that up it would be wise to understand why the situation is and if there aren’t other overarching issues. submitted by …
