( jalopnik.com )

Frequent Flier Miles Have Become A Currency Of Their Own Frequent flier programs were initially intended to reward passengers for remaining loyal to one particular airline instead of hopping carriers for the lowest airfare. However, these programs have gradually shifted over decades into de facto financial institutions with airmiles becoming a self-regulated currency. The… Read more…

LPT Request: How Do I Increase my Networking? And How Can I Become more Likable and Friendly?

LPT Request: How Do I Increase my Networking? And How Can I Become more Likable and Friendly? I (30M) after working professionally for over 5 years, have realized that it is not about how much you know or how good you are at what you do that gets you the promotion or the job you want but IT IS the people you know. It is a shame that it took me a while to believe this. To give you some context: I am not from the US. I have lived in Calif…

LPT Request: How to become a better sales person?

LPT Request: How to become a better sales person? I work front desk at a spa and I love it so much. The only part that sucks for me is that we’re expected to get a certain amount of “members” per month. When someone new comes in we have to pitch our membership to them and I HATE it. i’m a (recovering) pushover with social anxiety so I honestly will be physically shaking during these interaction…

LPT request: I need to get in contact with a successful Humanities academic. I wanted to become one but now I’m locked in a career I hate.

LPT request: I need to get in contact with a successful Humanities academic. I wanted to become one but now I’m locked in a career I hate. I need to discuss my failure with someone knowledgeable. I’m a medical doctor (in the UK, so I’m not getting paid big as opposed to USA/CAN/AUS), only because my parents wanted me to, because it made sense financially, and because I was too young and oblivious to understand what I really wanted to be and how to get there. More than 10 years afte…

A way to become more decisive?

( www.reddit.com )

A way to become more decisive? I’ve run into a problem which has kept me from going forward with photography and photoediting. I edit a photo enough to where the edits I make are so trivial that I just can’t choose which looks better. Still, I believe one must look better, so I make copies and keep them all, never feeling like I’m “done” with the photo. This has led to me no…

LPT Request: How to become a picture taking person

( www.reddit.com )

LPT Request: How to become a picture taking person Growing up my family never took photos. My mom hated how she looked in photos so we never took them. I’ve seen a handful of childhood photos. In highschool my friends and I rarely took photos. In college I had a friend who took a ton of selfies and it felt silly at the time. But I’m almost 30 and realizing that I barely have anything as a remind…

Why is every social media platform trying to become an eCommerce store?

( www.reddit.com )

Why is every social media platform trying to become an eCommerce store? Okay, so this is something I noticed recently — Every single social media site wants to be an ecommerce platform. Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn… They are all doing this. Every platform where you hang out is working hard to let you buy stuff without leaving their site. TikTok, for example, changed its ‘storefront’ to ‘shop’ and now you c…

Who I Become After Squeezing a Single Lemon into My Glass of Water

( www.mcsweeneys.net )

Who I Become After Squeezing a Single Lemon into My Glass of Water The faucet fills my glass with water, but I don’t dare take a sip yet. As I squeeze the lemon into my drink, I mentally levitate. It’s true that I am now earthier and less judgmental. With just one sip of lemon water, I feel myself become effortlessly radiant. I skip my morning coffee because I’m high on vitamin C. My body is detoxing, and I fee…

Is it just me, or has Mexico City suddenly become a favorite city for travelers since the pandemic? Mexico City has been one of my favorite cities for years, byt after my first couple of times, there were still a few people who reacted with alarm, as if I went into a dangerous war zone. However, over the last couple of years, I notice a very different reaction, with many people I talk to reacting with excitement or intrigue, and expressing int…

Why did producers singing lead vocals and using frontmen become so popular in the 80s & early 90s?

( www.reddit.com )

Why did producers singing lead vocals and using frontmen become so popular in the 80s & early 90s? In the 80s and early 90s, it seems with new technology in the studio, producers of pop and dance music were really confident or bold enough to write, produce and sing their songs while finding someone handsome to dance and mime to their songs. I never realized how much this happened in the 80s. We know about Milli Vanilli, but it seems the Itali…

LPT: Remember that many of the stories that get posted / become popular do so because they are unusual. They do not necessarily represent what is normal or common, even if they get posted about often.

LPT: Remember that many of the stories that get posted / become popular do so because they are unusual. They do not necessarily represent what is normal or common, even if they get posted about often. When you see story after story about certain things happening to other people, it can be natural to assume that what happened in the story is a common occurrence. But the exact opposite is often true – they get posted because they are uncommon. submitted by /u/beeweeird
