Would it be rude/crazy to ask to tack on a few solo days to an organized trip? I am going to Belize at the end of December. The trip is organized and hosted by a local organization for a group of university students and everything is handled through them. I am going on this trip on a scholarship/grant I received from the organization. I have travelled by myself and with friends/family throughout Europe, USA, and Canada, bu…

Is this the right sub to ask for identification of an object that is present in a photograph (in this case, a partial image of a book cover) or is there a specific sub for that? Hello everyone, I have a cropped image that Spanish actress Penélope Cruz took of his husband, actor Javier Bardem. In one of the photographs, you can see a partial view of a book that Bardem seems to be reading. Is there any way to identify that book? How is that even called? Book identification, perhaps? Thanks in advance for your help. https:…

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’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 If you’re helping a friend through a tough time, ask them about their favorite hobbies One of the hardest parts about supporting my friend during their rough patch was seeing them lose interest in things they once loved. But something that helped was asking them about their favorite hobbies from before. Even though they struggled to engage with their interests now, talking about their passions from the past brought a spark back to…

LPT : If you’re taking care of your older parent and they have Alzheimer’s, ask them to talk about (the childhood version) of you LPT : One of the things that hurt the most about my grandma, was when she stopped recognizing me. But, one of the things that helped me (and her) was asking her: tell me about your granddaugther. Sometimes she’d get worried about where “she” (her little granddaugther) was but I’d say at school. Then she’d say the sweetest things about me. It was…

LPT When negotiating a deal on a new lease, ask for upgrades. It could lower your payment. tl;dr add-ons increase resale value of your vehicle later and are worth the investment of your dealer now to generate profit later. It also saves you money. This is specific to lessees of pickup trucks, but may apply to other vehicles. Asking for a bed liner, running boards, and tonneau cover should be part of the deal negotiation. Giving you th…

LPT If your parents are elderly or nearing the end of their lives due to illness, you should ask them to gather all important documents in one place and to write down their passwords and PINs. My mother passed away last year, and having to cope with grief while being overwhelmed by bureaucratic tasks only made everything worse. Where I live, people are typically buried the day after they pass away. Therefore, upon receiving news of her death, I had to immediately begin arranging her funeral. Early the next morning, I had to register h…

How to ask to shoot a musician’s set? Hi everyone. A local musician follows me on instagram and posted about an upcoming show. I messaged them saying “Hey I’d love to take photos of you at ___ if that’s something you’d want”. They responded saying “Absolutely, that’d be awesome!” So what do I ask next? I’ve taken photos at concerts as a regular concert-goer but I don’t have experien…

How to ask a pool photographer for photos from a specific date. Is it possible and is it appropriate? My brother attended a Joe Biden campaign rally On January 25, 2020 in Salem, New Hampshire. The campaign people told those attending the event to not have their phones out and to just enjoy the event. They’d be able to get the photos taken by the campaign at a later date. He left his information with the campaign, but never heard back from them….

LPT Wanna kiss a girl? just ask her first. Asking “Can I kiss you?” is a quick and painless way to avoid awkward moments. If she says “No,” just say “Ok, thanks” and move on smoothly. It’s better than standing there embarrassed and unsure. She’ll likely appreciate your respectful approach too. Of course, don’t go asking every girl you talk to for a kiss. It’s important to gauge the vibe …

LPT Go first. Be the weird one. Ask the question. I heard good advice from the Dr. John Delony show a while back regarding adult friendships. When you want to make friends and spend time with people new, just ask them. Tell them your availability and ask if they want to do something fun with you. I just did it today, and I already got a positive response / a fun thing added to my calendar. Yipp…
